Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy provides a comprehensive explanation of how and why cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on casinorocket-ie.net. This document is designed to be transparent about the technologies we deploy and our legal basis for processing this information in Ireland. This policy should be read in conjunction with our main Privacy Policy for a complete overview of our data practices. The purpose of this document is to fulfill our legal obligations and provide you with clear information regarding our use of tracking technologies.

Data Collection via Tracking Technologies

When you visit our website, our system automatically collects specific information about your visit. This data is essential for platform operation, security, and analytics. This collection may be done in conjunction with our platform providers and partners, from whom we may receive general demographic or usage data about our website visitors. The information we gather through these methods includes:

  • Your device’s IP (Internet Protocol) address.
  • The browser type and version you are using.
  • Your device’s operating system.
  • The time and date of your visit.
  • The referring website or source from which you arrived.
  • Your navigation path and interaction patterns on our platform.

What are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

To collect the information described, we use cookies and similar tracking tools. These technologies are essential for the modern web and allow our platform to function correctly, securely, and efficiently. It is important to distinguish between the different types of technologies in use, as well as their origin and lifespan. We utilize several types of tracking technologies, which are defined as follows:

  • Cookies: These are small text files composed of letters and numbers that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit our web pages.
  • Pixels (or Web Beacons): These are small, transparent graphic files (typically 1×1 pixel) embedded in a web page or an email. They are used to track user activity, such as logging page views or email opens, to measure campaign effectiveness.
  • Session Trackers: These are temporary and are automatically erased from your device’s memory when you close your internet browser.
  • Persistent Trackers: These remain on your device for a pre-defined period as specified within the file, or until you manually delete them, allowing our platform to recognize you upon your return.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by our website domain.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a different domain, such as one of our analytics providers, game suppliers, or advertising partners.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Our use of these technologies is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation) and the ePrivacy Directive. Our practices are implemented and enforced in Ireland in accordance with the Data Protection Commission (DPC). We operate on two distinct legal bases for processing data collected via these technologies. Our legal basis for deploying trackers is clarified by the following principles:

  • Legitimate Interest: For technologies that are “Strictly Necessary” for the provision of our service (e.g., security, core functions, processing transactions), we rely on our legitimate interest.
  • Explicit Consent: For all other non-essential technologies (e.g., Functional, Performance, and Advertising), we rely on your explicit and unambiguous consent, which is obtained via our consent management tool before any such trackers are deployed on your device.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Our website deploys several different types of technologies, which can be distinguished by their specific purpose. Some are set directly by us, while others are set by our partners. The following sections detail the main categories in operation on our platform and their specific functions.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Certain processes are integral to the website’s core operation and remain active to ensure basic functionality. These processes are necessary to support navigation, process transactions, and provide services you explicitly request, such as logging into your account. Without this basic support, the platform cannot function securely and correctly. We rely on our legitimate interest in this data processing, as it is strictly necessary for the security and usability of the service. We present the main functions of these technologies:

  • Enabling navigation and basic functionality between pages.
  • Providing access to secure member-only areas of the website.
  • Managing your user session and maintaining security after login.
  • Recording and storing your cookie consent preferences.
  • Ensuring platform stability and managing server load balancing.
  • Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity at the login stage.

Functional and Performance Cookies

To improve your user experience, your website usage and personal preferences are analyzed. This feature allows the platform to remember your preferences, such as your chosen language or region, and provide enhanced, personalized features. The data obtained also helps us understand how visitors interact with our platform, identifying popular pages and user errors. This data processing occurs only with your explicit consent. These technologies serve the following purposes:

  • Analyzing website usage and user pathways to optimize performance.
  • Remembering your specific settings, such as language, region, or session key.
  • Offering a more personalized user journey and remembering your username (if you select this option).
  • Assisting with the identification and resolution of technical issues or bugs.
  • Tracking user activity to help us improve the overall website usability and interface.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

We call these special methods for evaluating the effectiveness of our content marketing and advertising campaigns. This process is often performed by our advertising partners to record website visits and new player registrations that occur after viewing an ad. We do not share personal information, such as your name or email address, with affiliated partners, except for website visitation data collected directly through this method. The resulting visitation data may be linked to other personal information collected by these providers, as governed by their privacy policies. This feature is activated only with your explicit consent. These trackers are used for the following purposes:

  • Tracking website visits and new registrations from specific advertising channels.
  • Measuring the conversion rate and effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
  • Delivering targeted advertising to you on other websites (a practice known as retargeting).
  • Building a profile of your interests to show you relevant promotions.
  • Preventing the same advertisement from being shown to you repeatedly.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

We provide you with robust tools to manage your cookie preferences in accordance with Irish and EU data protection laws. You can control cookie deployment at both the site level, through our consent management tool, and at the browser level. It is important to understand the distinction between these two methods of control.

On-Site Consent Management

Upon your first visit to our platform, you will be presented with a consent management banner. This tool is our primary method for complying with Irish data protection law and provides you with granular control over the non-essential cookies you wish to accept or reject. Your preferences are recorded and can be accessed and modified at any time through a dedicated link or setting on our website. This tool gives you the power to manage your privacy settings directly with us. The consent tool allows you to perform these actions:

  • Accept all cookie categories.
  • Reject all non-essential cookie categories.
  • Customize your preferences by enabling or disabling specific categories, such as Functional or Advertising cookies.
  • Withdraw your previously given consent at any time.

Browser-Level Controls

Most modern online browsers are configured to automatically accept cookies by default. You can, however, modify your browser settings to block some or all cookies, or to delete cookies that have already been set. We must advise that this is a powerful tool; blocking or deleting all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may severely restrict your use of our website and impact its core functionality, potentially logging you out or preventing access to services. The help function in your preferred browser should provide the correct information on how to adjust these settings.

Policy Updates and Contact Information

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our operational practices. We recommend you review this Policy regularly to stay informed of any modifications. For more comprehensive details on how we collect, store, and protect your personal data, please consult our main Privacy Policy. Any specific queries regarding this Cookie Policy or your cookie preferences can be directed to our Data Protection Officer.
