Cookies Policy for Union Jackpots Casino
This Cookies Policy explains how Union Jackpots Casino and its partners use browser technologies to support site functionality, keep your session active, measure performance, and remember your preferences. The aim is practical - help you understand what runs in your browser, why it matters, and how to control it.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They hold short pieces of information such as a session identifier or a preference flag. Other similar technologies - local storage, session storage and browser fingerprints - may also be used to manage settings and improve site behaviour.
Why cookies are used on Union Jackpots Casino
Cookies and related technologies are used to:
- Keep you logged in during a session and remember login choices when you ask to stay signed in.
- Store language and display preferences so pages load in the same way on return visits.
- Measure site performance and aggregated user behaviour to diagnose issues and improve speed.
- Support security checks that help detect suspicious activity and protect accounts.
- Enable optional marketing and communication preferences when you consent to them.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for basic site functions. These include session management, secure login tokens and basket or transaction state. Without essential cookies some pages will not work correctly and sessions may end unexpectedly.
Session cookies
Session cookies last only while your browser is open. They are used to maintain a continuous experience during a visit - for example, keeping you signed in while you move between pages and remembering temporary selections. These cookies are typically removed when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed. They remember long-term preferences such as language choice, currency or a "remember me" setting. Persistent cookies have explicit expiry times and are used to speed up return visits.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies enable site features you choose, such as saving game preferences, enabling compact or expanded UI modes, or storing accessibility settings. They do not track you across unrelated sites and are focused on making the site work the way you prefer.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use the site. Typical uses are page load times, most-played games, error rates and general navigation patterns. This data is used to make the platform faster and more reliable. Aggregated analytics do not target you individually and are retained in non-identifying form.
Preference and language settings
Preference cookies save choices such as language, display format and content filters. When you change language or toggle a setting, a preference cookie ensures the same choice is applied on your next visit so you don’t have to reconfigure the site each time.
Login and session continuity
To keep sessions stable we use secure session identifiers. If you opt to stay signed in, a persistent token may be stored so you can return without re-entering credentials. For safety, long-lived tokens are protected and can be revoked at any time via your account settings or by clearing browser cookies.
Device recognition
Device recognition cookies help the site remember device-level settings and reduce repeated verification steps. These markers make it quicker to restore a previous session and can be combined with security checks to identify unusual access attempts.
Security-related cookies
Security cookies support fraud prevention, anti-automation systems and account protection. They may record limited, technical signals such as session origin and browser tolerances. These cookies are focused on defending accounts and are not used to profile marketing behaviour.
Browser storage technologies
In addition to cookies, the site may use localStorage and sessionStorage to store non-sensitive state and UI preferences. localStorage is persistent until explicitly cleared, while sessionStorage is removed when the tab or window closes. These mechanisms are used for performance and convenience, not to bypass consent choices.
Third-party integrations
Some features rely on third-party services for analytics, chat widgets or content delivery. These partners may set their own cookies when their elements load on our pages. Third-party cookies are governed by the partner’s policies; we try to work with providers who follow recognised privacy standards.
Marketing and communication preferences
Marketing cookies are only used when you give consent. They enable personalised messaging and measurement of campaign effectiveness. You can manage these preferences through the cookie settings panel or by changing your account communication options.
Cookie consent management
When you first visit, a cookie banner or settings panel allows you to accept or adjust categories of cookies. Choices are stored so you do not need to repeat them on every visit. You can revisit and change consent at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the site footer.
Browser cookie controls
Your browser provides controls to view, block or delete cookies. You can block third-party cookies or configure site-specific rules. Using private or incognito modes limits persistent storage, but may not prevent all transient cookies during the session.
Clearing or disabling cookies
If you clear or disable cookies certain features will stop working as intended. Clearing cookies removes saved preferences and may require you to sign in again. For step-by-step instructions use your browser’s help function to clear cookies and site data.
Site functionality impact when cookies are disabled
With essential cookies disabled you may experience:
- Immediate sign-outs and inability to maintain game sessions.
- Loss of saved preferences, language and layout settings.
- Reduced personalised content and limited access to some features.
Analytics and performance will also be less accurate, which can slow down problem diagnosis.
Technical diagnostics and performance optimisation
Diagnostics cookies support error tracking, load balancing and response-time measurements. These tools are used to find faults, optimise page delivery and prioritise fixes. Collected data is typically aggregated and retained only for the time required to resolve issues.
Aggregated analytics information
We rely on aggregated analytics to understand usage trends, such as most-used pages and peak hours. This information helps improve load handling, game availability and general navigation. Aggregated reports do not include identifiable personal details.
User experience improvements
Cookies are a practical tool to smooth your interaction with the site. They remember where you left off, reduce repeated confirmations and ensure interface choices persist across visits. Maintaining a small set of cookies generally improves speed and convenience.

Changes to this policy
This page may be updated to reflect changes in technology or preferences. When material changes occur we will surface the update via the cookie settings panel or site notices so you can review and adjust consent.
