Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Jackpot Machine Ltd ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on jackpot-machine.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the site after setting your preferences, you agree to the use of cookies as described here.
Because Jackpot Machine is a free, entertainment-only social casino with no real money gambling, we keep our use of cookies to a minimum. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles for real-money gambling products.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences and to provide insight into how a site is used. Similar technologies such as local storage work in comparable ways.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They include the cookie that records your consent choice so we do not show the banner on every visit. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work properly.
3. Preference storage
The game stores your virtual coin balance and certain settings in your browser's local storage. This information stays on your device, is not sent to our servers, and exists only to make your experience smoother. Clearing it simply resets the game.
4. Analytics cookies
With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the website — for example, which pages are most popular. This helps us improve the game and the site. These cookies do not identify you personally.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we rely on, such as analytics providers. We do not control these cookies directly, and you should review the relevant third party's own policy for more detail.
6. Cookies we may use
The table below summarises the typical cookies and storage items used on the site, their purpose and roughly how long they last.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| jm_cookie | Necessary | Remembers your cookie consent choice | 1 year |
| Local storage (balance) | Functional | Stores your virtual coin balance on your device | Until cleared |
| _analytics | Analytics | Aggregated, anonymous usage statistics | Up to 2 years |
7. Managing cookies
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner shown on your first visit. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you block cookies or alert you when one is set.
8. Impact of disabling cookies
If you disable strictly necessary cookies, some features of the site may not work as intended. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to play the game; it only limits the insight we gather to improve the service.
9. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to such signals, we currently treat your choices through our cookie banner as the controlling preference.
10. Mobile devices
When you access Jackpot Machine on a mobile device, similar technologies may be used. The same controls described above generally apply through your mobile browser's settings.
11. Children
Our site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from anyone under 18.
12. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or law. The "last updated" date above indicates when the current version took effect.
13. Contact
