Cookie Policy
Every cookie we use, explained clearly
newonline-slots.com uses a small, privacy-first set of cookies to run the site, remember your preferences, and measure aggregate usage. You can disable any non-essential cookie without breaking the site.

What are cookies
The basics before the details
A cookie is a tiny text file placed on your device by a website. It typically stores an anonymous identifier, a preference, or a short-lived token. Cookies let a site remember state between pages (for example, that you have already accepted the cookie banner) without re-asking on every click.
This policy explains the cookies newonline-slots.com uses, why we use them, how long they last, and how you can refuse or delete them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
Categories used
The five categories of cookies on this site
Only the "Strictly necessary" category is active by default. Every other category is opt-in — you can accept or reject them from the consent banner or by writing to our privacy desk.
| Category | Purpose | Example names | Expiry | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site online — session handling, CSRF protection, load balancing, and security challenges. | sfs_session, sfs_csrf, cf_clearance |
Session – 12 months | Always on (required for the site to function) |
| Preferences | Remember your choices, such as preferred language, time zone, theme, and whether you accepted the cookie banner. | sfs_lang, sfs_tz, sfs_consent |
Up to 12 months | Opt-in (except for the consent record itself) |
| Analytics | Measure anonymous, aggregate usage so we know which slot reviews and bonus pages are useful. IPs are truncated and never combined with personal identifiers. | _sfs_analytics, _sfs_sample |
Up to 13 months | Opt-in |
| Affiliate attribution | When you click an outbound link to a licensed operator, we set a short-lived cookie that lets the operator confirm the referral and pay us a commission. It does not identify you. | sfs_ref, sfs_aff |
Up to 30 days | Opt-in |
| Marketing & social | Not used by default. If we ever enable embeds (for example, an operator video), the third party may drop its own cookies. Those cookies are controlled by that provider. | None set by newonline-slots.com directly |
Varies by third party | Opt-in — only if the related embed is enabled |
Third-party cookies
What happens when you click out to an operator
When you visit a licensed operator through a link on newonline-slots.com, that operator’s site may set its own cookies. We have no control over those cookies and they are governed by the operator’s own privacy and cookie policies.
Our advice is to review the operator’s cookie notice the first time you land on their site, and to use your browser’s site-level cookie controls if you want to block specific third parties.
newonline-slots.com does not embed advertising trackers, social pixels, or behavioural retargeting scripts. If this ever changes, we will update this page and re-request consent.
