Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Black Lion Casino website (the “Site”). It covers what cookies are, why we use them, what types may be set, how third parties may be involved, how you can control your preferences, and how updates to this policy will be handled.

If you want related details about how personal data is handled more broadly, review our Privacy Policy.

Cookies, Explained in Plain English

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about you or your device, like whether you’re logged in, your language settings, or how you move through pages.

We may also use similar technologies (such as pixels, SDKs, local storage, or server-side identifiers). For simplicity, this policy refers to all of them as “cookies.”

Why We Use Cookies: Better Security, Smoother Play, Faster Pages

Cookies support core Site operations and help us deliver a more reliable experience. Depending on your settings and consent (where required), cookies may be used to:

• Keep the Site running properly, including account access and session stability
• Protect the Site and users from fraud, abuse, and suspicious activity
• Remember your preferences (like language and region)
• Measure performance (page load, errors, feature usage) so we can fix issues quickly
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve navigation and content
• Show or limit marketing messages, and measure campaign effectiveness (where permitted)

Some cookies are essential for the Site to function. Others are optional and may depend on your consent.

Cookie Types You May Encounter

Different cookies serve different jobs. The categories below are commonly used on modern websites like ours.

Essential Cookies: The Non-Negotiables

Essential cookies are required for the Site to operate. They help with things like:

• Secure login and authentication
• Session management (so pages remember you as you move around)
• Security controls and fraud prevention
• Load balancing and basic performance stability

If you block essential cookies, certain Site features may not work, and parts of the Site may become unavailable.

Functional Cookies: Your Settings, Remembered

Functional cookies help the Site remember choices you make. For example, they can store:

• Preferred language
• Region/currency display settings
• Layout or interface preferences
• Previously entered form details (where appropriate)

Disabling these cookies may mean you have to reselect preferences each time you visit.

Performance and Analytics Cookies: What’s Working (and What Isn’t)

Performance cookies help us understand how the Site is used so we can improve speed, design, and reliability. They can track things like:

• Which pages are visited most often
• How users navigate between pages
• Error messages or broken links
• Page response time and feature performance

These cookies are designed to help us improve the Site experience overall. Where required by law, we only set these cookies after you provide consent.

Marketing Cookies: Tailored Promotions and Smarter Measurement

Marketing cookies may be used to:

• Show relevant promotions based on browsing behavior
• Limit how often you see the same ad
• Measure whether a campaign worked (for example, whether a visit came from an ad)

Marketing cookies may be placed by us and/or by approved partners. Where required, these cookies will only be used with your consent.

First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be set by:

• First-party cookies - created and placed by the Site you’re visiting (Black Lion Casino)
• Third-party cookies - set by a different company whose tool or service is used on the Site

Third-party tools are often used for analytics, security monitoring, fraud detection, customer support features, and marketing measurement. These third parties may process data under their own privacy policies, and they may combine information collected across different websites or apps, depending on their settings and your consent choices.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies - removed when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies - remain until they expire or you delete them

The retention period depends on the cookie’s purpose and configuration.

Your Consent: How Cookie Choices Are Collected

Depending on your location, we may ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing cookies). When a cookie banner or preference tool is available, you can accept, reject, or customize optional cookie categories.

If you change your mind later, you can update your cookie preferences at any time via the Site’s cookie settings (if available) or by changing your browser controls as described below.

Control Center: How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored
• Delete all cookies or cookies for specific sites
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies (not recommended for full Site functionality)
• Set rules for how cookies behave

Here’s what to expect if you restrict cookies:

• Blocking essential cookies can prevent login, payments, or core account features from working correctly.
• Blocking functional cookies may reset preferences each visit.
• Blocking analytics cookies reduces our ability to diagnose bugs and improve performance.
• Blocking marketing cookies may reduce personalization, but you may still see promotions that are less relevant.

If you need quick guidance, check your browser’s help section (common browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge). You can also delete cookies at any time, but that may log you out or reset certain settings.

Third-Party Services That May Set Cookies

We may use third-party services to support Site functionality, security, analytics, and marketing. These services can change over time as we update tools and providers. When used, third-party cookies may be placed to:

• Detect fraud and protect accounts
• Provide aggregated reporting and analytics
• Support customer service features
• Measure marketing performance (where permitted)

We aim to work with reputable providers and limit access to what is needed for their services to function.

Policy Updates: When This Page Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the Site operates. When we make updates, we’ll revise the effective date and publish the updated version on this page. If a change is significant, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
