Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains the small data files and similar browser storage tools used on Neoncasinoguide, why they are used and how you can manage them.
How cookies work on this site
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels and scripts that remember choices or measure how a page is used. On Neoncasinoguide, cookies and local storage are used in a limited way. The most important function is to remember whether you confirmed that you are over 18 and whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. Without that memory, the same prompts would reappear on every page load.
We divide cookies into three categories: strictly necessary, analytics and marketing. Strictly necessary tools are required for core site operation, safety prompts and user preference memory. Analytics tools help us understand which pages are read and whether important information is easy to find. Marketing tools may be used for attribution and campaign measurement where affiliate performance needs to be tracked. We do not use cookies to encourage irresponsible gambling behaviour or to disguise the fact that some content contains affiliate links.
Cookie categories
Strictly necessary: these are essential for functions requested by the user or required to operate the site safely and consistently. They do not depend on the performance of advertising features.
Analytics: these help us understand readership, traffic patterns and content performance so we can improve layout, wording and navigation.
Marketing: these may help measure the source of affiliate referrals, determine whether a campaign generated a click and attribute visits to commercial placements or network identifiers.
Cookie schedule
| Name | Category | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neoncasinoguide_age | Strictly necessary | 12 months | Stores whether the visitor confirmed they are 18 or older. |
| Neoncasinoguide_cookies | Strictly necessary | 12 months | Stores whether optional cookies were accepted or rejected. |
| _dm5_analytics | Analytics | 90 days | Measures page visits, scroll depth and navigation paths in aggregated form. |
| _dm5_referral | Marketing | 30 days | Records the referral source or campaign code associated with an outbound affiliate click. |
Your choices
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner appears in the bottom-right corner. You can accept or reject optional cookies there. If you reject them, only the minimum storage needed to remember your decision and run essential site functions should remain active. You can also clear cookies manually through your browser settings. Doing so may cause the age gate and cookie banner to appear again because your saved preferences will have been removed.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies globally. Please note that a full block on all cookies may reduce site functionality, especially where session memory or consent state needs to be stored. If you use private browsing mode, some stored preferences may disappear automatically at the end of the session.
Third-party technologies
Some affiliate links may pass through third-party tracking systems that rely on referral parameters, cookies or similar identifiers to attribute a click to this website. Those tools are typically controlled by the destination operator or its affiliate network, not by Neoncasinoguide. Their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third party once you leave our pages.
We try to work only with service providers that can support lawful, transparent and proportionate tracking practices. Even so, the way a third-party system behaves after you leave Neoncasinoguide may change over time. We therefore recommend checking the destination site's own policies before registering or depositing.
Updates to this policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy if site functionality changes, new tools are introduced, regulation changes or current wording no longer reflects how the site operates. The latest version will always be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Questions about cookies or browser storage may be sent to privacy@neoncasinoguide.co.uk.
