Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on this website, including pages related to Pinnacle and other gambling, casino, and sportsbook content. It is designed to help you understand what data may be collected when you visit the site, why that information matters, and what choices you have.

By continuing to use this website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you change your browser settings or adjust your cookie preferences through any cookie tools made available on the site.

What Cookies Actually Do on This Site

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred settings, whether you are logged in, the pages you viewed, and how you interact with site features.

Cookies do not usually give us direct access to your device. Instead, they help the website recognize your browser and improve how the site works for returning visitors.

Some cookies last only while your browser session is active. Others stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

Why We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies to keep the website running properly, protect it against misuse, measure performance, and improve the overall user experience. They also help us understand which pages are useful to readers and where we can make changes.

On a practical level, cookies may be used to remember your preferences, maintain site security, support analytics, reduce repeated loading of content, and show content that is more relevant to your interests. That can include pages connected to betting guides, bonus content, casino reviews, and brand pages such as our Pinnacle review.

The Key Cookie Types You Should Know

Different cookies serve different purposes. The main categories we may use are listed below.

Essential Cookies That Keep the Website Working

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, certain parts of the site may not work as intended.

These cookies may help with page navigation, security, fraud prevention, load balancing, form submissions, and access to protected parts of the website. Because they are required for core functionality, these cookies generally cannot be turned off through our site’s cookie controls.

If you block essential cookies in your browser, some pages, tools, or features may stop working.

Functional Cookies That Remember Your Preferences

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make so your experience feels more consistent from one visit to the next. This can include language settings, region preferences, cookie choices, and other personalized display options.

These cookies are not always strictly necessary, but they make the website easier to use. If they are disabled, you may need to re-enter preferences each time you return.

Performance and Analytics Cookies That Help Us Improve

Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. They show us things like which pages receive the most traffic, how long visitors stay on a page, whether users run into technical issues, and how people move through the site.

We use this information to improve page speed, fix usability problems, and understand what content is most helpful. In many cases, the information gathered through analytics cookies is aggregated and not intended to identify you personally.

These cookies can help us improve content across areas like casino bonuses, sportsbook features, payment methods, and game provider coverage.

Marketing Cookies and Advertising Technologies

Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, limit how often you see certain ads, and help deliver content that is more relevant to your interests.

These cookies may be placed by us or by third-party advertising and affiliate partners. They can track browsing activity across websites over time, subject to applicable law and consent requirements.

If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies Explained

Some cookies are set directly by this website. These are called first-party cookies. Others are placed by external service providers or partners and are known as third-party cookies.

Third-party cookies may come from services we use for analytics, performance monitoring, video content, social media integration, advertising measurement, or embedded tools. For example, if a page includes embedded media, live chat tools, or analytics tags, those providers may place their own cookies through your browser.

We do not necessarily control all third-party cookies directly. We encourage users to review the privacy and cookie policies of those external providers for more information about how they process data.

Similar Technologies We May Use

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, and local storage. These tools can work in a similar way by collecting device and browsing information, measuring site activity, or remembering settings.

For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as “cookies” unless a separate explanation is required.

How Cookies Support Security and Account Protection

Cookies can play an important role in website security. They may help us detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse, maintain session integrity, and support fraud prevention measures.

For example, security-related cookies can help identify repeated failed login attempts, unusual browser behavior, or attempts to interfere with site forms and services. This helps us protect both the website and its visitors.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Some cookies are session cookies. These expire automatically when you close your browser.

Others are persistent cookies. These remain on your device for a longer period, or until you delete them, so the website can remember your preferences or recognize repeat visits. The exact duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose.

Your Consent Choices Matter

Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. This usually applies to functional, analytics, and marketing cookies, depending on local legal requirements and how the cookies are used.

You can accept all cookies, reject certain categories, or adjust your settings through any cookie banner or preference center that appears on the site. Your choices can usually be updated later.

Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookie use before the withdrawal took effect.

How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You can control cookies in several ways. Most web browsers allow you to review, block, restrict, or delete cookies through the browser settings menu.

Common browser controls may allow you to:

• delete stored cookies,
• block all cookies,
• block only third-party cookies,
• clear cookies when you close the browser,
• allow cookies from specific websites, or
• send a “Do Not Track” request.

The steps vary by browser. Check the support pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or any browser you use for the most accurate instructions.

If you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of the website may not perform properly. Certain saved preferences may be lost, page features may reset, and some tools may become unavailable.

What Happens If You Refuse Cookies

Refusing non-essential cookies should not stop you from accessing the basic public parts of the website. However, your experience may be less personalized, and some convenience features may not work the same way.

If essential cookies are blocked, key site functions may break. That can include page stability, security checks, form functionality, and user preference storage.

Children and Sensitive Use Considerations

This website is intended for adults, particularly users seeking information related to gambling, casino, and sports betting content. We do not knowingly use cookies to target children, and we do not intend for the site to be used by individuals under the legal age required in their jurisdiction.

If you believe a minor has provided information through the website, or that cookie-related tracking has occurred inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the issue.

Policy Updates You Should Check From Time to Time

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, business practices, or the services used on the website. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date if appropriate.

We encourage you to review this page occasionally so you stay informed about how cookies are used and what choices are available to you.

Questions About Privacy or Cookies

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, your privacy choices, or how data may be handled in connection with cookies on this website, you can contact us through the site’s available support channels or privacy contact method listed on the relevant contact page.

If your question relates to a third-party brand or operator mentioned on this website, such as Pinnacle, you may also need to contact that company directly regarding cookies or privacy practices on its own platform. Based on publicly available support details, Pinnacle customer service may be reached at “customerservice@pinnacle.com” for operator-specific questions.

Your continued use of this website after any updates to this policy means the latest version will apply, subject to any consent choices you make through the site or your browser settings.
