What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to website owners. Cookies do not contain personal information such as your name or payment details, and they cannot be used to run programmes or deliver viruses to your device.
How We Use Cookies
NonGamStopBets.uk uses cookies for several purposes, including ensuring the website functions correctly, understanding how visitors interact with our content, and tracking affiliate referrals. Below we explain each type of cookie we use and its purpose.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly. They enable core features such as remembering your cookie consent preferences and ensuring security. Without these cookies, certain parts of the Website cannot operate correctly. Essential cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies collect information such as the number of visitors, the pages visited, time spent on pages, and how visitors arrived at our site. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve our content, identify popular pages, and enhance the overall user experience.
Affiliate & Tracking Cookies
As an affiliate website, we use tracking cookies to record when a visitor clicks through to a third-party betting site from our links. These cookies allow affiliate networks to attribute any subsequent registrations or deposits to our referral, enabling us to earn commission. These cookies are placed by third-party affiliate networks and betting operators, not directly by us.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the Website to remember choices you have made, such as accepting the cookie consent banner. These cookies enhance your browsing experience by personalising certain aspects of the Website based on your previous interactions.
