Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Gardens Casino website uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site run reliably, stay secure, perform well, and remember your preferences. It also explains how you can control cookies through your browser settings and what may change if you choose to block or delete them.

This policy should be read alongside our other site terms and notices, including our main page for The Gardens Casino.

What Cookies Are (In Plain English)

Cookies are small text files stored on your device - like your phone, tablet, or computer - when you visit a website. They help the site recognize your browser, remember settings, and understand how people use pages so the experience can be improved.

Some cookies last only while your browser is open (session cookies). Others remain for a set period or until you delete them (persistent cookies). Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, and SDKs, may also be used for related purposes.

Why We Use Cookies: Performance, Security, and a Better Experience

We use cookies to support core site operations and to improve how the website works for you. Depending on your choices, cookies may be used to:

• Keep the website working properly (for example, enabling page navigation and basic features)
• Protect the website and users by helping detect suspicious activity, abuse, or automated traffic
• Remember preferences you’ve selected, such as language or region settings where available
• Measure site performance so we can improve speed, stability, and content quality
• Understand which pages are most useful, what content is being read, and how visitors move through the site
• Support marketing measurement, such as understanding whether an ad or campaign resulted in a visit (where applicable and permitted)

The Cookie Types You May See on This Website

Different cookies serve different roles. Not every cookie will be present on every visit, and some depend on your device, browser, and consent settings.

Essential Cookies - Keep the Site Running

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function. They support basic operations like page loading, security protections, and maintaining core site services.

If you block essential cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly.

Functional Cookies - Remember Your Preferences

Functional cookies help the site remember choices you make so you don’t have to re-enter them each time. These can include remembering settings and improving convenience features.

Disabling these cookies may mean the site forgets your preferences between visits.

Performance and Analytics Cookies - Help Us Improve

Performance cookies (including analytics cookies) help us understand how the site is used - for example, which pages get the most visits, how long pages take to load, and whether users encounter errors. We use these insights to improve website usability and reliability.

These cookies generally do not aim to directly identify you, but they can collect device and browser information, approximate location derived from IP, and usage patterns.

Marketing Cookies - Measure Promotions and Relevant Messaging

Marketing cookies may be used to measure marketing effectiveness and, where applicable, help deliver messaging that’s more relevant to your interests. They can be set by us or by third parties we work with.

If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it may be less relevant and harder for us to measure what worked.

Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services we use on the site. These may include:

• Analytics providers (to help us understand site usage and improve performance)
• Security and fraud-prevention tools (to help protect the site and users)
• Advertising and measurement partners (to evaluate marketing performance where enabled)

These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies and may process information collected from your device or browser. We encourage you to review third-party privacy and cookie notices for details on their practices and how to opt out where available.

Your Consent Choices and How They Work

Where required, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Your choices may be presented through a cookie banner or preference tool. You can update your preferences later by adjusting your browser settings (and, if available, revisiting the site’s cookie preference controls).

If you choose not to consent to certain categories, the site will still be accessible, but some features, personalization, analytics, or marketing measurement may be limited.

How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You can control cookies at the browser level. Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies are stored and delete them
• Block all cookies or block cookies from specific sites
• Block third-party cookies
• Clear cookies automatically when you close the browser

The exact steps depend on your browser and device. Look for cookie controls under settings such as “Privacy,” “Security,” or “Site Settings.” If you use multiple browsers or devices, you’ll need to update your settings on each one.

Be aware that deleting cookies may reset saved preferences and may sign you out of certain site features (where applicable).

What Happens If You Block Cookies

Blocking cookies can affect how the website functions. For example:

Essential cookies blocked - key pages or security features may fail to work properly. Functional cookies blocked - preferences may not be saved, and some convenience features may not work. Analytics blocked - we’ll have less insight into issues and improvements, which can slow optimization. Marketing blocked - you may receive less relevant messaging and we may not be able to measure campaign performance accurately.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT) settings. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites must respond to DNT, the website may not respond to DNT signals consistently. You can still control cookie behavior through the settings described above.

Policy Updates: When We Change This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the website operates. When we update it, we’ll post the revised version on this page and adjust the effective information as needed. Continued use of the website after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.
