Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how browndog-marketing.com ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By continuing to use the Site after being presented with our cookie banner, you acknowledge this policy. Where non-essential cookies require consent under UK law, we will not set them until you accept them through the banner controls.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work efficiently, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with content. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which store data in your browser for defined periods or for the duration of a browsing session. Pixels or tags may also be used by third parties linked from our pages; those are governed by the third party's own policies.

Why we use cookies

We use cookies and storage mechanisms to:

Enable core site functionality, including remembering that you confirmed you are 18 or over during the current session;
Record whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies via our banner;
Maintain security and help detect abusive traffic patterns;
Understand aggregated usage so we can improve page performance and editorial layout.

We aim to minimise data collection and avoid invasive profiling. We do not use cookies to sell personal data.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary / essential. These are required for the Site to function. They include session storage keys such as age-verification state and local storage keys that remember your cookie banner decision. Without these technologies, features you expect (such as not being asked to verify age on every page view within a session) may not work correctly. Essential technologies are typically processed on the basis of legitimate interests or, where applicable, your consent for storage access under ePrivacy rules.

Preference cookies. If enabled after you accept cookies, preference cookies may remember settings you choose during your visit, such as dismissing informational notices. They are not required for basic operation but improve convenience.

Analytics cookies. If we deploy analytics tools in future, they would help us measure traffic in aggregate form (for example which articles are most read). Where such cookies are not strictly necessary, we will request consent before activation and describe the provider in an updated version of this policy.

Marketing / affiliate measurement. When you click outbound links to gambling operators, those operators or their partners may set their own cookies to attribute referrals. That processing occurs on third-party domains and is outside our direct control. Review operator cookie notices before registering.

Specific storage keys on this Site

sessionStorage: age-verified — set when you confirm you are 18+; cleared when you close the browser tab or window;
localStorage: cookie-accepted / cookie-rejected — records your response to the cookie banner until you clear site data.

We do not use these keys to track you across unrelated websites.

Cookie duration

Session storage expires when your browsing session ends. Local storage entries persist until you delete them through browser settings or our banner triggers a stored preference. If we introduce additional cookies with fixed expiry periods, we will list typical durations here and keep the table current.

Your choices and how to manage cookies

When you first visit (after confirming your age), you may accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner at the bottom of the page. You can change your mind at any time by clearing cookies and site data for browndog-marketing.com in your browser, which will cause the banner to appear again on your next visit.

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality, including age-verification flow and remembered consent. Guidance is usually available under "Privacy", "Security", or "Site settings" in your browser help pages.

Third-party cookies

Links to external websites (including UK Gambling Commission, GAMSTOP, GamCare, BeGambleAware, and licensed operators) may place cookies when you visit those sites. We do not control third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing each provider's cookie and privacy documentation.

Legal basis

Under UK privacy and electronic communications rules, strictly necessary storage may be used without consent where it is essential to provide a service you request. Non-essential cookies require informed consent. Our banner is designed to obtain that consent in a clear and granular manner where required.

Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when we change technologies, add features, or respond to regulatory guidance. The "Last updated" date will change accordingly. Material updates may be highlighted on the Site. Continued use after changes constitutes acknowledgement of the revised policy.
