Our Cookie Policy
This page spells out every cookie Casino Bello sets when you visit casinobello-pokies.com, what each one does, how long it stays on your device, and how you can turn off the ones you do not want. We have kept the language plain on purpose.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you load it. Think of it as a sticky note the site leaves for itself: the next time you arrive, it reads the note and remembers something useful, such as the fact that you already logged in or that you prefer the site in English.
Cookies cannot read your hard drive, install programs, or access files outside the browser. They only hold the information we or our partners put into them, such as a random session ID or a language code. Similar technologies do comparable jobs, including local storage and pixels, and this policy covers them too.
Every time you visit, your browser sends the relevant cookies back to the site that created them. That back-and-forth is what lets us keep you logged in while you play, remember your currency settings, and understand which pages load slowly so we can fix them.
The Cookies We Set
We sort our cookies into four categories, and the consent banner you see on your first visit lets you accept or reject each category separately, except for strictly necessary cookies, which run regardless.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and keep you safe. Without them you could not log in, your game rounds could not be tied to your account, and our anti-fraud checks would fail. A cookie such as CasinoBello_session holds your login state while you play, CasinoBello_auth keeps you signed in between visits, and CasinoBello_sec flags suspicious login attempts for our security team. We never ask for consent on this category because the site simply does not function without it.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have made so you do not repeat them. When you pick English as your language, cb_lang stores that pick; when you set deposit limits in your responsible gaming dashboard, cb_pref keeps the display just as you left it. Blocking these cookies will not break the site, but you will need to redo your settings on every visit.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to count visits, see which games get the most play, and find pages with high bounce or slow load times. The data arrives in aggregated form, so we see patterns across many players rather than your individual betting history. Cookies such as _ga and _gid fall into this group. You can decline them at any time without losing any site functionality.
Marketing
Marketing cookies power retargeting: they let our advertising partners show you a Casino Bello promotion on other sites after you leave ours, and help us measure whether a campaign brought in players who stayed. A cookie such as cb_adsync links your visit to an ad click. This is the category with the most impact on your privacy, which is why it stays switched off until you actively opt in through the banner.
Summary table
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, session, security | Session up to 30 days | Not available |
| Functional | Language, preferences, limits display | Up to 90 days | Banner or browser settings |
| Analytics | Aggregated traffic and performance data | Up to 365 days | Banner or browser settings |
| Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Up to 90 days | Banner or browser settings |
Third Party Cookies We Allow
Some cookies on our pages belong to other companies, not to us. We allow three groups of them, and each group appears only where it has a job to do.
Analytics providers measure site performance on our behalf and report the numbers back to us in aggregate. Advertising networks serve and track the promotional campaigns we run off-site, and they only fire after you consent to marketing cookies. Payment providers set their own cookies on deposit and withdrawal pages to run fraud screening and 3-D Secure checks; those are strictly necessary for processing your transactions, so they work even if you decline optional categories.
We do not sell your cookie data, and we contractually require every third party we work with to process data only for the purpose we hired them for. The table above tells you how long each category lasts. If a third party changes what its cookies do, we review that change before the cookie stays on our site.
Manage Your Cookie Settings
Through our banner
On your first visit the consent banner gives you a choice: accept all categories, reject all optional ones, or open the settings panel and toggle analytics and marketing on or off individually. You can reopen that panel any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the page footer, and your new choice takes effect immediately.
Through your browser
You can also block or delete cookies at browser level, which overrides your banner choice. Here is where the setting lives in the four most common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies (or Cookies and site data on older versions).
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or limit cross-site tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Manage Data under Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.
What happens if you block
Block strictly necessary cookies and the practical consequences are significant: you will be logged out constantly, deposits may fail their security checks, and some games may refuse to load. Block only analytics and marketing cookies and you lose nothing except personalised ads and our traffic statistics get less precise. If you block payment provider cookies on the cashier page, deposits through cards and e-wallets may not go through, so we recommend leaving that page's cookies enabled.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. They cover active gameplay, your open cashier session, and short-term security flags, and they never outlive the tab you closed.
Persistent cookies stay for a fixed period and then delete themselves. Our current schedule: strictly necessary authentication cookies last up to 30 days so "remember me" works, functional cookies last up to 90 days, analytics cookies such as _ga last up to 365 days so we can compare traffic year on year, and marketing cookies last up to 90 days before they expire. Logging out of your account clears the authentication cookie straight away, and clearing your browser data removes every persistent cookie regardless of its schedule.
If you withdraw consent through our banner, we delete the optional cookies that were already set on your device during that withdrawal, not just stop new ones. Strictly necessary cookies stay, since the site cannot run without them, but we reduce their count to the minimum required.
Changes to This Policy
When we add a new cookie, change a category, or bring on a new type of service provider, we update this page and bump the version note at the top of it. For changes that affect marketing or analytics cookies we also show a short notice in the consent banner for two weeks, so you get a fresh chance to review your settings rather than a silent change. Material updates, such as a new third-party category, trigger an email to registered players as well.
Questions about anything on this page go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], and our live chat team can walk you through the banner settings any hour of the day. The version you are reading now was last reviewed in 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Do cookies track my bets or winnings?
No. Analytics cookies collect aggregated data about page visits and performance, not your individual betting history or account balance. Your gameplay records live in your account, not in cookies, and only strictly necessary cookies carry your session ID.
Can I play at Casino Bello with all cookies blocked?
Not reliably. With every cookie blocked you will be logged out repeatedly, deposits may fail fraud screening, and some games may not load. Rejecting just analytics and marketing cookies leaves the full experience intact.
How do I change my consent after closing the banner?
Use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page. It reopens the same panel, and your new choices apply immediately. If you withdraw marketing consent, we delete the marketing cookies already on your device.
Do crypto deposits avoid cookies?
No. Crypto transactions skip card fraud screening, so fewer payment cookies fire, but the strictly necessary session and security cookies still run, because they attach your deposit to your account.
