Cookie Policy
Many of the offers that appear on this site are from companies from which Bold Gambler receives compensation. This compensation may impact how and where products appear, but it does not affect our editorial evaluations. Please Gamble Responsibly. Learn more about how we rate.
This page supplements our Privacy Policy and, in line with PECR, sets out exactly which cookies and similar technologies we use on boldgambler.com/uk, what each one does, and how you can control them.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser to remember information between visits. We also use browser local storage, a similar technology, to remember your cookie choice.
2. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary: required for the site to function. Exempt from consent under PECR.
- Analytics: measure audience and site usage (Google Analytics). Require your opt-in consent.
- Marketing/Advertising: used for relevant advertising (Google Ads). Require your opt-in consent.

4. How consent works here (PECR opt-in)
Nothing beyond strictly necessary cookies loads on your first visit. Analytics and advertising cookies only activate after you actively accept them in the banner — rejecting is just as easy as accepting, and carries no penalty. Your choice is stored for up to 180 days. You can accept, reject, or change your mind anytime via Cookie Preferences.
5. Managing cookies through your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser’s settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
6. Third-party cookies
Google and Cloudflare control their own cookies under their respective policies. See Google’s cookie policy for details.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this list as we add or remove tools. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
