1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is visited. They can help a site remember information between page loads, recognise a returning browser, store user choices or provide aggregated data about how pages are used. Similar technologies may include local storage and analytics tags that support comparable functions.
2. Essential cookies
Essential cookies are used to make core parts of the site work as expected. On Jackpotpilotuk, this may include remembering whether you have confirmed the age gate and whether you have already interacted with the cookie banner. Without those functions, basic usability would be weaker because the same prompts could reappear on every page load.
3. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. For example, they may show which pages are read most, how users move through content and whether certain layouts are confusing or ignored. We use this kind of information in aggregate to improve navigation, wording and page structure rather than to build intrusive personal profiles.
4. Preference cookies
Preference cookies store choices made by a visitor so the site does not ask for the same input repeatedly. On this website, that may include remembering cookie consent and age confirmation settings saved through local storage keys. These settings are lightweight, but they still count as stored preferences and are therefore described here.
5. Third-party cookies
Some third-party services used for hosting, analytics or embedded functionality may place their own cookies or similar identifiers. The exact list may change as tools change, but examples of third-party categories can include analytics providers, infrastructure providers and video or content delivery services if such features are used. Third parties control their own technologies, so their privacy and cookie notices should also be reviewed where relevant.
6. Managing cookies
You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, clear them, block all cookies or block only certain categories. Please note that disabling essential cookies or local storage may affect how this site works, including whether consent prompts and age-gate decisions can be remembered properly.
7. Consent mechanism
When required by law, we seek consent before placing non-essential cookies. The cookie banner on this site allows you to confirm or reject consent choices. Your selection is remembered locally so that the banner does not continue to appear after a choice has already been made, unless the relevant storage is cleared.
8. Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy if our tools, legal obligations or consent practices change. Any updated version will be posted on this page. If you have questions about cookie use on Jackpotpilotuk, please contact privacy@jackpotpilotuk.co.uk.
