Our Cookie Policy at Spinshark
This page explains every cookie that spinshark-casino.co.uk places on your device, why it is there, how long it stays, and what you can switch off. We launched in 2023 and have kept our cookie practices plain and readable from day one. Read it once and you will know exactly what happens in your browser when you play with us.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device when you visit it. When you come back, the site reads that file and remembers something useful: your login status, your chosen language, or the fact that you already dismissed our cookie banner. Without them, you would re-enter your password on every page load and lose your game filters each time you moved between lobbies.
Cookies are not programmes and cannot install anything, read files off your disk, or capture your screen. They hold a limited amount of text and only the site that created them can read them back. We use the word cookie on this page to also cover similar technologies, including local storage and pixels, because the same rules and your same choices apply to all of them.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep spinshark-casino.co.uk working and secure. They carry your session identifier so you stay logged in as you move between our 7,000+ games, remember your KYC verification status, and flag repeated failed login attempts for fraud checks. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off from our banner because the site would not function without them, including the deposit and withdrawal flows for your Visa Debit or crypto transactions.
Functional
Functional cookies store your preferences so you do not set them twice. The language cookie holds your choice from English, German, French or Polish. Others remember your preferred currency from GBP, EUR, USD, BTC, ETH or USDT, the table limits you last filtered in the live lobby, and whether you have muted the game sounds.
Analytics
Analytics cookies show us, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site: which pages load slowly, which deposit methods people abandon midway, and where new players drop off before their first spin. We look at patterns across thousands of sessions, never at your individual betting history, and the data is aggregated before it reaches us.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show you Spinshark Casino offers that fit you, such as the SHARK150 welcome bonus or the Monday 100% reload up to £300, on other websites after you leave ours. They also measure whether an advert actually brought a player to us, which stops us spending on campaigns that reach no one. You can decline marketing cookies at any time with one click and still play the full catalogue.
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| spinshark_session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in | Session | No |
| spinshark_secure | Strictly necessary | Fraud and bot protection | Session | No |
| spinshark_lang | Functional | Remembers your language | 90 days | Yes |
| spinshark_prefs | Functional | Saves display and currency settings | 90 days | Yes |
| spinshark_anon | Analytics | Aggregated usage statistics | 365 days | Yes |
| spinshark_ads | Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | 30 days | Yes |
Cookies From Third Parties
Some cookies on our site belong to companies we work with, and they control that data under their own privacy policies. We permit three categories and nothing beyond them. Analytics providers measure our traffic under contract with us. Advertising networks run the retargeting campaigns that carry our bonus offers across the web, and only when you have accepted marketing cookies. Payment providers set technical cookies during deposit and withdrawal processing, for example a token that keeps your MiFinity or Skrill session secure while your transaction completes.
We do not sell your data to anyone, and third parties receive no more than the cookie needs to function. Their cookies follow the same consent rules as ours: if you reject a category in our banner, the third-party cookies in that category do not load at all.
Manage Your Cookie Settings
On our site
Our cookie banner appears the first time you visit and lets you accept all categories or reject everything except strictly necessary cookies with a single click. You can also open the detailed panel and switch each category on or off separately. Change your mind later by clicking the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of any page; your new choice takes effect immediately.
In your browser
Every major browser can block or delete cookies for all sites, including ours. Where to find the setting:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, or clear all data under Delete browsing data.
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or manage website data one by one.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.
What blocking means
Block functional cookies and the site still plays, but forgets your language and currency every visit. Block analytics and nothing changes for you, we simply see less about how the site performs. Blocking strictly necessary cookies or browser-wide cookie support, however, breaks logins, deposits and withdrawals, so we recommend keeping at least that category active.
How Long We Keep Cookies
We keep each cookie only as long as it serves its purpose. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Functional cookies last 90 days, which covers the longest gap between visits for most players. Analytics cookies run to 365 days so we can compare full seasonal patterns. Marketing cookies expire after 30 days, the shortest of the optional categories, because an advert that stops being relevant should stop following you.
Deleting cookies at any point resets these clocks, and declining a category stops it from being written in the first place. Nothing here extends the retention of your account data, which follows our separate Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
When we add, remove or repurpose a cookie, we update this page and change the review date at the top of it. For anything beyond routine adjustments, such as a new third-party category, we also send a notice to the email address on your account at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Questions about anything here go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], answered around the clock by the same team that runs our 24/7 live chat.
This policy was last reviewed in 2026 and matches the site as it runs today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play at Spinshark Casino with all cookies rejected?
Yes. Reject every optional category in the banner and the site still plays all 7,000+ games. Only strictly necessary cookies, which handle login and security, remain active because the site cannot operate without them.
Do cookies contain my card or wallet details?
No. Cookies store short identifiers and preferences, never full card numbers or crypto keys. Payment data passes through the encrypted transaction flow of our payment providers, not through cookies.
If I delete cookies, do I lose my account or balance?
No. Your account, balance and bonus progress live on our servers. Deleting cookies only logs you out and resets your language, currency and display preferences.
How do I switch off marketing cookies only?
Open the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of any page, turn the marketing toggle off, and save. Marketing cookies stop loading immediately, including the ones placed by advertising networks.
