Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies groundcasinoreview.co.uk sets, why, and how you control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage and pixels — do a comparable job and are covered by this policy wherever we refer to cookies.
Our consent model
When you first arrive, a small banner appears in the corner of the screen. It does not cover the page and it does not block you from reading. It offers two clear choices of equal weight: Accept and Reject.
Until you choose, nothing optional is set. If you choose Reject, no analytics or measurement cookie is ever set — the choice is honoured, not merely recorded. Your decision is remembered in your browser's local storage under the key groundcasinoreview_consent so we do not ask again on every page.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function and are set without consent, as UK law permits.
| Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| groundcasinoreview_consent | Stores your accept or reject choice so the banner is not shown again | 12 months (local storage) |
| Session cookie | Maintains page state during a single visit, for example after using the contact form | Deleted when the browser closes |
Optional cookies
If you press Accept, we may set a first-party measurement cookie recording aggregate figures such as pages viewed and time on page. It is used to understand which reviews are useful and to find broken journeys. It is not used to build an advertising profile, it is not sold, and it is not shared with operators.
| Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _el_stats | Aggregate, first-party audience measurement | 13 months |
| _el_ref | Records which page a reader arrived from, for editorial reporting | Session |
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent cookie data to anyone.
- We do not set third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.
- We do not fingerprint your device.
- We do not use cookie walls — rejecting costs you no functionality.
Changing your mind
To withdraw or change consent, clear the groundcasinoreview_consent value in your browser's local storage for this website — or simply clear cookies and website data for groundcasinoreview.co.uk — and the banner will appear again on your next visit.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari each provide these controls under Privacy or Settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website from working.

Before anything else, stay in control
Gambling is entertainment with a price attached — never a way to make money, clear a debt or recover a loss. Set a deposit limit before your first deposit, and stake only what you would be content to lose entirely.
