Cookie Policy
This page lays out the cookies and similar technologies running on F7 Casino, what each one does, how long it lives on your device, and how to control or delete them. The wider question of personal-data handling is treated separately on the Privacy Policy page; this page is the technical companion to it. The site itself is described on the About page, with the flagship operator review at the F7 Casino homepage.
1. What a cookie is, briefly
A cookie, at its simplest, is a short text file that a website asks the browser on your device to keep around. On the next load of that same site, your browser hands the file back, which is how the site notices a returning visit, holds onto a saved preference, or logs aggregate traffic. Critically, cookies cannot run any code locally, are blind to other files on the device, and on their own cannot identify a real person — that takes data already linked to the cookie by some other channel. Plenty of what today gets bucketed under "cookies" is actually different browser-storage tech — localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB — but it all behaves along the same lines, so for the rest of this page the umbrella term "cookie" stands in for any of them.
2. Categories of cookies used on F7 Casino
F7 Casino runs three categories of cookie. They are presented on first visit through a consent banner, and you can revise your selection at any time using the link in the site footer.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Make the site work: load the page, remember your cookie-banner choice, route traffic, prevent abuse. | No (legal basis: legitimate interest) |
| Analytics | Anonymous, aggregated traffic measurement: which pages are read, where readers come from, which links are clicked. | Yes |
| Affiliate tracking | Recognise that a click through to an operator came from F7 Casino so the partnership can be credited. | Yes |
F7 Casino does not use advertising or remarketing cookies. We run no on-site display advertising, work with no programmatic ad networks, and do not pixel-track readers across other sites. The funding model behind the site is described on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
3. Specific cookies, third parties and lifetimes
The list below sets out the cookies that may be created when you visit F7 Casino. Third-party cookies are set by services F7 Casino uses; full control over their behaviour sits with the third party, and links to their own policies are provided here.
| Name | Set by | Category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
f7casino_consent | F7 Casino | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie-banner choice so the banner does not reappear on every page load. | 12 months |
f7casino_session | F7 Casino | Strictly necessary | Anonymous session identifier used to load assets and rate-limit abusive traffic. | Until browser closes |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Aggregated traffic statistics: pages per session, traffic sources, average time on page. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. | 14 months |
f7casino_aff | F7 Casino | Affiliate tracking | Records that a click on an outbound operator link originated from F7 Casino so the partnership is credited. | 30 days |
Third-party documentation: Google Analytics behaviour falls under Google Privacy and Terms. Operator partner sites place cookies of their own the moment you arrive via a click-through; those cookies are governed by the partner operator's privacy policy, and sit outside the scope of F7 Casino entirely.
4. How to control cookies in your browser
Every modern browser allows you to block cookies, delete existing ones or reject third-party cookies outright. Vendor documentation:
You can also read F7 Casino in your browser's private or incognito mode, which keeps cookies from being saved across sessions.
5. What happens if you decline non-essential cookies
The site continues to load and behave as normal. Pages remain readable, every internal anchor still routes through, and click-outs to operator sites carry on functioning. Three minor differences are worth flagging: aggregate traffic counts skip your visit; clicking an affiliate link with affiliate tracking turned off prevents the partnership from registering — you, as the player, are paid out by the operator on the usual terms, but the commission attribution to F7 Casino simply fails to record; and once cookies are wiped, the consent banner returns, because the recorded choice itself lives inside a cookie. The wider editorial standards covering every published page (including the way affiliate links are flagged in HTML markup) are set out on the Editorial Policy page, while the player-safety commitments themselves sit on the Responsible Gambling page.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
F7 Casino respects the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal: if your browser is sending GPC, all non-essential cookies are blocked automatically and the consent banner is suppressed. The older Do Not Track header has no agreed enforcement standard and is not relied on here.
7. Updates to this policy
Should the cookie footprint on F7 Casino shift, this page is revised and the "Last updated" stamp at the top moves forward. Substantive shifts — additional categories appearing, new third-party processors joining the mix — also fire a one-off refresh of the consent banner, so visitors returning later get asked again from scratch. Cosmetic housekeeping (light rewording, link tidy-ups) does not raise a fresh consent prompt.
8. Questions and complaints
Queries on individual cookies running on F7 Casino are best routed via the Contact page. Formal complaints over the way UK sites deploy cookies sit with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), reachable at ico.org.uk — the body that processes them under the UK GDPR plus the Data Protection Act 2018.
