Cookies in plain terms
This page explains how gouden.uk uses cookies when you read our coverage of Gouden, the online casino operated by Continental Ventures Ltd. A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a site – it lets the site remember something about your visit the next time you load a page. We are an independent information portal, not the casino itself, so this policy covers only what happens on gouden.uk.
Nothing here concerns Gouden's own website, its account system or its player-facing cookies – those are governed by the operator's own policies once you leave this portal.
What is stored and for how long
Cookies on this site fall into a few practical groups, each doing a different job:
- Necessary cookies – keep the site functioning correctly (page navigation, security settings); these expire quickly or at the end of your session.
- Analytics cookies – help us understand which pages get read, how long a visit lasts and which links get clicked; set only with your consent and typically kept for up to two years.
- Marketing and advertising cookies – support any affiliate tracking or third-party advertising shown on the site; also consent-based.
- Preference cookies – remember small choices, such as whether you have already seen the cookie banner.
Embedded third parties
Some cookies are set by services embedded in the page rather than by gouden.uk directly – an analytics provider, an advertising network, or a script that measures how a link performs. We do not control what these third parties do with the data once it leaves our site, so we'd encourage you to check their own cookie notices if you want the full detail. None of these third-party scripts belong to Gouden or to Continental Ventures Ltd; they relate to the running of this review portal only.
Declining without breaking the site
You can refuse or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, and the core content on gouden.uk – our reviews, tables and guides – will still load normally. Turning off analytics or marketing cookies simply means we won't see how you use the site, and you won't be shown any personalised elements.
- Chrome – Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Firefox – Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Edge – Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Where a cookie banner appears on first visit, choosing "necessary only" has the same effect as adjusting these browser settings manually.
Updates to this policy
We may amend this page from time to time – to reflect a new analytics tool, a change in law, or simply to tidy the wording. Any change takes effect as soon as it is published here, so it's worth checking back occasionally if you have concerns about how data is handled. Questions about this policy can be sent to [email protected].
