Your privacy: in plain language

Light and dark appearance

The appearance switch saves your light or dark choice in this browser’s local storage. The preference restores your choice on future visits; it is not sent to a casino. If storage is unavailable, the switch still works for the current page. Clearing site data resets the saved choice.

The previous saved-review feature has been retired. Old selections may remain in browser storage, but this version does not read or use them. Clearing this website’s data in your browser removes that earlier selection.

Reading the directory

The directory displays the same sixteen brand summaries to every reader. It does not register accounts, accept payments or send visitors to casino websites. There is no shortlist, personalised ranking, casino search form or bonus calculator in this version.

Fonts and brand images are served with the site. Your browser requests pages, images and application files from our delivery service, plus Cloudflare’s analytics script. Links to public authorities, support organisations and a Guardian investigation open external websites with their own privacy practices.

Application services and cookies

This application has no account registration, newsletter form or advertising tracker. It does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Your browser may retain cached page resources. The appearance preference is browser storage rather than a cookie.

Cloudflare provides DNS, content delivery and security services. It may use security cookies if a browser challenge is required. Read its cookie documentation for their purpose.

Performance measurement

Pages load Cloudflare’s Web Analytics beacon, a script your browser fetches from static.cloudflareinsights.com. It measures page loads and browser performance, including loading time and layout stability. These measurements are sent through the website’s /cdn-cgi/rum endpoint.

Cloudflare describes Web Analytics as not using cookies, local storage or fingerprinting to track visitors. Its data collection documentation explains what is measured.

Hosting and security information

European Casino runs on a publisher-managed virtual server. Loading a page involves processing technical details such as an IP address, requested URL and browser information to deliver the response and identify harmful traffic.

Routine visitor access logging is disabled at our web server. Operational error logs can contain request details when an error occurs. Application and web-server error logs are rotated daily, with up to fourteen daily archives retained for troubleshooting. These settings do not control Cloudflare’s own processing or retention.

Cloudflare may process information across its international network. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its handling of that information.

Enquiries sent through the form

The enquiry form keeps your subject, the page you name, your text and, if you give them, your name and reply address on this publication’s own server. No form provider or other outside company stores it, and no copy is sent by email or messaging app; the editor reads enquiries on the server. For a privacy request you can also write to contact@europeancasino.co.uk.

Enquiries are used to check and answer what you raise and are deleted after twelve months. To see, correct or delete yours sooner, send the form with the Privacy request subject and a reply address; we answer within one calendar month of receipt, or up to three months for a complex request. Complaints about how a request was handled go to the Information Commissioner’s Office. To prevent flooding, the server counts recent submissions per IP address in memory, separately from the enquiry itself, and never writes that count to disk. Please leave out gambling passwords, full payment-card details and identity documents.
