What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help a site remember certain information about your visit — things like your preferences or session status — so that the experience feels consistent and responsive each time you return. At Starzino Casino, we take our responsibility to use these files carefully and transparently very seriously. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure your time on our platform is secure, smooth, and as personalised as it reasonably can be, while always keeping you informed about how that works.
Why We Use Cookies at Starzino Casino
Cookies play a genuinely practical role in how an online casino functions. Without them, several core features that players rely on simply would not work as expected. Here is why we rely on them:
The most fundamental reason is session security. When you log in to your Starzino Casino account, a session cookie ensures you remain securely authenticated as you move between game pages, the cashier, and your account settings. Without this, you would be logged out every time you navigated to a new page — which would make play effectively impossible.
Beyond security, cookies help us remember your preferences. If you have set a particular language or adjusted display settings, we use cookies to hold on to those choices so you do not need to re-enter them on every visit. It is a small thing, but it makes a real difference to how comfortable the platform feels day to day.
Cookies also underpin uninterrupted gameplay. During an active session on a live table or a slot, session data stored via cookies ensures the game state is preserved and communication between your browser and our servers remains stable. Interruptions caused by lost session data can affect game outcomes and account records, so these cookies are not a luxury — they are essential infrastructure.
We also use cookies to understand how our site is performing overall, which helps us fix issues and improve the experience for everyone. None of this happens without a lawful basis, and we outline each type of cookie we use in the section below.
Types of Cookies We Deploy
We categorise the cookies used on the Starzino Casino platform into four distinct groups. Each serves a different purpose, and we want you to understand exactly what each one does.
- Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the website to function at all. They handle secure login sessions, protect against cross-site request forgery, and maintain your authenticated state as you navigate the platform. You cannot opt out of these cookies while continuing to use the site, because disabling them would break the core functionality entirely — including staying logged in and accessing the cashier.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors interact with our site — which pages are visited most, where players encounter errors, and how long sessions typically last. We use this information internally to identify performance bottlenecks and improve the overall experience. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.
- Functionality Cookies: These remember choices you have made — such as your preferred language, display settings, or whether you have dismissed a particular notification. They allow us to provide a more tailored experience without requiring you to adjust your preferences every time you visit. Disabling functionality cookies will not stop you from using the site, but certain personalised features may not work as expected.
- Targeting / Advertising Cookies: We use these to ensure that any bonus offers or promotional content you see — both on our site and occasionally through partner channels — are relevant to you based on your activity and preferences. These cookies do not store sensitive personal data, but they do track browsing behaviour in relation to our platform for the purposes of relevance and frequency management.
Third-Party Cookies in iGaming
Operating an online casino means working alongside a number of trusted third-party partners, and some of those partners place their own cookies on our platform when you interact with their services. We want to be open about this.
Our live dealer offering — which includes Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Poker variants, and other live table games — is powered by specialist game providers. These providers use cookies to initialise and maintain stable game sessions, manage real-time streaming data, and ensure that the game state is accurately recorded throughout your session. Without these cookies, live games could not function reliably in your browser.
Similarly, our payment partners require cookies to operate securely. When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal using Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, or Neteller, the relevant payment gateway may place cookies on your device as part of their fraud prevention and transaction verification processes. These are standard practice across regulated financial services and are designed specifically to protect you.
We only work with third-party partners who operate to recognised data protection and privacy standards. That said, once a third-party cookie is placed, its use is governed by that partner's own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review where relevant. If you have any concerns about specific third-party cookies, our support team is available to help clarify.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
You are always in control of how cookies are used on your device. There are two straightforward ways to manage your preferences:
Via our cookie consent banner: When you first visit Starzino Casino, you will be presented with a cookie preference banner. This allows you to accept all cookies, decline non-essential categories, or customise your settings by cookie type. You can revisit and update these preferences at any time — simply look for the cookie settings option within the site footer. Manage Cookie Preferences
Via your browser settings: All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies independently of any site-level controls. The steps vary slightly by browser, but you can typically find these options under Privacy or Security settings. Browsers also allow you to set rules for specific sites, including Starzino Casino, if you prefer a more granular approach.
It is worth being aware of one important limitation: if you choose to block or delete essential cookies, certain fundamental features will stop working. You may find you cannot remain logged in, the cashier may become inaccessible, or live game sessions may be disrupted. We recommend only blocking non-essential cookie categories if you wish to retain full access to the platform. Functionality and performance cookies can generally be disabled without affecting your ability to play.
Policy Updates and How to Contact Us
The regulatory landscape around data privacy and cookie usage continues to evolve, and we update this policy periodically to reflect changes in legislation, guidance from supervisory authorities, or adjustments to how we operate our platform. When we make material changes, we will notify you via the cookie consent banner or a notice on the site. We encourage you to review this page from time to time to stay informed.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, or if you would like to understand more about your privacy rights in relation to our data practices, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our support team is available around the clock and can be reached through the following channels:
- Live Chat: Available 24/7 directly on the Starzino Casino website
- Email & Support Tickets: Submit a query at any time and our team will respond promptly
- VIP WhatsApp and Telegram: Available for VIP members requiring dedicated account support
