This site compares online casinos, British-licensed and offshore, on the speed of their payouts for readers in Great Britain, and needs only a small set of technical tools to do so. The policy below sets out which cookies and similar technologies are used here, what purpose they serve, and how they may be refused or changed. Kept by a browser on a device, a cookie is a small text file; local and session storage entries in the browser and counting pixels behave in much the same manner.
Legal basis
The governing rule is regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR). Clarity and completeness of information, plus the consent of the user, are required before information is stored on a user's device or access is gained to information already stored there; storage that is strictly necessary for a service the user has requested is the exception. For that consent the standard comes from the UK GDPR (Article 4(11) and Article 7): it must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and withdrawing it must be as easy as giving it. Personal data processed through cookies falls under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 in addition.
What the site cannot run without
Reliability would go without this group. A session is held open, server load is spread, forms are guarded against abuse, and the cookie choice itself is remembered. No separate choice is asked for these files. When the browser is closed, session files expire, while the stored choice is kept for no more than twelve months.
Settings and measurement
Settings such as the comparison tables opened last are remembered by functional files. Page views are counted by analytics files, which also show which pages are read, and the content can be improved on that basis. Consent in the cookie banner comes first for both groups. Analysis uses shortened IP addresses, and no profiles are built that follow behaviour across different sites.
Files from outside services
Files of their own may be set by embedded outside services such as videos or maps. Then the provider's privacy rules apply as well, and any objection is raised with that provider. Advertising cookies that build profiles for personalised ads are not set by instantpayoutcasinosuk.com unless a clear choice has been made in the consent banner.
Refusing and changing consent
The "Cookie settings" link in the footer changes or withdraws consent at any time; withdrawal holds for the future and leaves the lawfulness of processing already carried out untouched. Cookies can also be blocked and deleted by every browser in its privacy settings, and the manufacturer's help pages set out the steps for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Deleting the necessary files brings the banner back, and some features may be out of action briefly.
Supervision
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK's supervisory authority, and a complaint about the handling of personal data can be lodged with it. The privacy policy of this site explains how personal data is processed.
