This Cookie Policy explains how Play Compare UK Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on playcompareuk.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep sessions secure and understand how pages are used.
How we use cookies
We group cookies as follows:
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to function, including remembering that you confirmed you are 18+ during your browser session.
- Analytics — help us see aggregated traffic patterns (for example which comparison pages are most read). We only enable these if you accept cookies in our banner.
- Affiliate tracking — when you click through to an operator, that brand or our affiliate network may set cookies to attribute referrals. This happens on the operator or network site, not always on ours.
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner on our homepage. You may also block cookies via your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly.
Local storage
We use browser localStorage to remember your cookie preference and sessionStorage for age verification during a visit. These are not shared with third parties.
Third-party cookies
Embedded content or analytics partners may set their own cookies if you consent. Their use is governed by their privacy policies. Operator websites you visit from our links will apply their own cookie rules.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you delete or block cookies. Guidance is available from your browser manufacturer. To opt out of some analytics tools industry-wide, visit Your Online Choices (UK).
