Cookies – onlinebingoguideuk
Browsing a list of bingo rooms on onlinebingoguideuk needs no account, but your browser still keeps a small number of files while you do, and this page explains what they are.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser so it can be recognised on a later visit. Some keep a page working at all; others simply count visits or remember a setting.
The legal basis in the UK
Cookies sit under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). A cookie strictly necessary for the site to function needs no consent; anything beyond that does, unless an exemption applies. Where a cookie touches personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 also apply, as covered in the privacy policy.
Switching cookies off
Every major browser has settings to view, block and delete cookies. Blocking essential ones may break parts of the site; blocking analytics ones has no effect on reading it.
Cookies we use
- Essential cookies — keep basic parts of the site running, such as holding a chosen setting. They cannot be turned off within the site.
- Analytics cookies — report, in aggregate, how many people read a page and where they came from. They do not identify an individual reader.
None of these cookies carry advertising, and none passes your browsing on to a bingo operator.
How long they last
Session cookies disappear when the browser closes. Persistent analytics cookies expire on a fixed schedule, never past 13 months.
