Cookies Policy
Last updated: 24 May 2026 · How Megaways Casino uses cookies and how you can control them.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences — such as staying logged in — and help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage; in this policy, we refer to all of them as "cookies". This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
The Categories of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into four categories. You can accept or reject non-essential categories at any time through our cookie banner or the preferences link in the site footer.
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They keep you logged in, secure your session, remember items such as your selected currency and support fraud prevention. Without them, services like account login and deposits will not work.
| Example cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your secure logged-in session | Session |
| csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 12 months |
2. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular and where errors occur — so we can improve performance. The information is aggregated and statistical.
| Example cookie | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 24 hours |
| _hjSession* | Hotjar — usability and session insights | 30 minutes – 1 year |
3. Functionality Cookies
These remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience — for example your language, recently played games or display settings. If you disable them, some conveniences may not work, but core services will remain available.
4. Marketing Cookies
Set only with your consent, these track browsing across sites to measure campaign performance and show relevant promotions. They are typically placed by partners such as Google and Meta (Facebook).
| Example cookie | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta — ad delivery and measurement | Up to 3 months |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads — conversion tracking | Up to 3 months |
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by trusted third parties that provide services on our behalf, including Google (analytics and advertising), Meta (advertising measurement) and Hotjar (usability analytics). These providers process data under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control the cookies set directly by third-party game suppliers embedded on the site.
Managing Your Cookies
You are in control. You can manage non-essential cookies through our on-site preferences panel, and you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Safari — Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security (or Preferences → Privacy on desktop).
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Most browsers also let you browse in a private or incognito mode and clear cookies on exit. For step-by-step help, see your browser provider's support pages.
If You Disable Cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in, depositing or playing, because these functions depend on them. Disabling performance, functionality or marketing cookies is fine and will not break the site, though some features may be less personalised and we will have less insight to improve your experience.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy as our use of cookies evolves. The "last updated" date shows the current version. For any questions, contact us at [email protected].
