Cookie Policy

Last updated: 7 February 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Bonuswincenter ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit bonuswincenter.com (the "Site"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

By continuing to use our Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. Where your consent is required, we will ask for it separately before placing any non-essential cookies on your device.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Bonuswincenter) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content.

2. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies on our Site, including:

  • Web beacons - small graphic files (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to detect when a page has been viewed or an email opened.
  • Local storage - a browser feature that allows data to be stored locally on your device and persist beyond the current session.
  • Session storage - similar to local storage, but the data is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting - a technique that collects information about your browser and device configuration to identify your device across sessions.

References to "cookies" in this policy apply equally to these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site - for example, which pages are visited most often and whether users receive error messages. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. These cookies help us improve the performance and usability of our Site.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a post.

3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

3.5 Social Media Cookies

These cookies are set by social media services that we may have added to the Site to enable you to share our content with your networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

4. Cookie Details

The table below provides specific details about the cookies we currently use on our Site:

This list may be updated periodically as our use of cookies changes. We recommend checking this page regularly for the most current information.

5. How Long Do Cookies Last

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time depending on their type:

  • Session cookies - these are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to carry information from one page to another so that you do not have to keep re-entering your details.
  • Persistent cookies - these remain on your device after your browser is closed and are reactivated when you return to the website that created them. They are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Site are placed by third-party service providers who help us deliver certain features and services. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties, and their use is governed by the respective third parties' own privacy and cookie policies.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our Site. We are not responsible for the content or practices of third-party websites or services.

7. Your Cookie Choices and Controls

7.1 Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link available in the footer of our Site.

7.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Block only third-party cookies
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Receive a notification when a cookie is set

Please note that restricting or disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Site and may prevent you from accessing certain features or services. The following links provide guidance on managing cookies in common browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

7.3 Opt-Out from Analytics

If you wish to opt out of analytics tracking, you may use tools provided by analytics service providers. For example, Google Analytics offers a browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout that prevents your data from being used by Google Analytics.

7.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Our Site currently does not alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will review this position as standards develop.

8. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies we use may collect information that, alone or in combination with other data, could be used to identify you. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which sets out the legal bases on which we process your personal data, your rights in relation to that data, and how to exercise those rights.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, applicable law, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Where changes are significant, we may also notify you by other means, such as a prominent notice on our Site or by email where we hold your contact details.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
