Patrickspins Cookie Policy for United Kingdom Users
When you visit Patrickspins, cookies are placed on your device to keep the website running properly and to make your experience more convenient. Some cookies are essential and cannot be switched off, as they support core functions such as security and account access. Others help us understand how visitors use the platform, allowing us to improve performance and tailor content to your needs. You remain in control of your cookie preferences and can adjust your settings at any time through your browser.
How Cookies Work on This Website
When you browse the Patrickspins website, small data files called cookies are saved to your device. These files help the site remember your preferences and keep track of your activity during and between visits.
Cookies are used for several practical purposes:
- Understanding how visitors interact with the platform
- Monitoring website traffic and page performance
- Remembering your language and display settings
- Supporting secure login and session management
It is important to note that cookies do not access other data stored on your device. They do not read files, contacts, or any personal information held locally. Their function is limited strictly to improving how the website operates for you.
Types of Cookies Used on the Platform
The website makes use of three main types of cookies, each serving a distinct purpose.
Session Cookies
These cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. They allow the site to function correctly during a single visit by maintaining continuity between pages.
Persistent Cookies
Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after you leave the site. They help the platform recognise you on return visits and restore your saved preferences.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies collect information about how the website is used, such as which pages are visited most frequently and how users move through the site. This data is used to improve overall performance and the quality of services offered.
All three cookie types are used with the purpose of making your experience more convenient and better suited to your individual needs.
Your Cookie Choices
You have control over how cookies are managed on your device. Most browsers allow you to adjust cookie settings directly through their privacy or security menus.
Here are actions you can take:
- Delete existing cookies stored on your device at any time
- Block all cookies from being saved by any website
- Block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies to function
- Set alerts to notify you when a website attempts to place a cookie
- Allow cookies only from specific websites that you trust
- Manage Flash cookies separately through Adobe Flash Player settings
Please be aware that blocking all cookies may limit certain features on the website. Functions such as saved preferences, secure login, and personalised content may not work as expected if cookies are fully restricted.
Managing Flash Cookie Settings
Flash cookies, sometimes referred to as Local Shared Objects, operate differently from standard browser cookies. They are managed through the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager rather than your browser’s privacy settings.
Using the Flash Player manager, you can:
- Set permissions for individual websites
- Restrict the amount of data Flash is allowed to store on your device
- Adjust security parameters related to Flash content
If you choose to block all cookies, including Flash cookies, certain website functions may be affected. Features such as language preferences and automatic login may no longer operate correctly. It is recommended to review your Flash settings carefully to find a balance that suits your privacy preferences without disrupting your use of the site.
