Cookie Policy

Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the website available at https://bc-game-casino-uk.com/ (the “Website”), operated by BC.Game Casino. If you have questions about how we use cookies or want to exercise any of your rights in relation to the data we collect through them, you can reach us at [email protected].

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make sites work properly, remember your preferences, and give site owners information about how their pages are being used. Alongside cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage objects. Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” for simplicity.

Cookies can be set either by the website you are visiting directly (first-party cookies) or by a third-party service running on that page (third-party cookies). They can also be categorised by how long they remain on your device: session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

Why Cookie Consent Matters in the UK

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as they apply following the UK’s departure from the European Union, we are required to obtain your informed consent before placing any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the Website. We are also required under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 to be transparent about the personal data we collect, including data gathered through cookies, and to have a lawful basis for processing it.

This policy explains exactly which cookies we use, what they do, and how you can control them.

Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function. Without them, services you have asked for, such as logging into your account, accessing secure areas, or completing a transaction, cannot be provided. Because these cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Website, they do not require your consent under PECR.

Examples of what strictly necessary cookies do on our Website include: keeping you logged in during a session, remembering items in a transaction flow, preventing fraudulent use of your account, and ensuring load balancing works correctly so the site remains accessible.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and to provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, they may remember your language preference, your chosen currency display, or whether you have dismissed a particular notification. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these personalisation features may not work as expected.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website. They help us understand which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on certain sections, and whether any error messages are being encountered. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous; it does not identify you personally.

We use this data to improve the way the Website works and to understand the overall performance of our content. We rely on your consent before placing these cookies.

Third-party analytics providers whose cookies may be present on the Website include Google Analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies to help us analyse traffic patterns and user behaviour. Google may transfer the data collected to servers outside the UK. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertisements and promotional content that is relevant to you and your interests. They also help measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies track your visits to our Website and other sites, and may be used to build a profile of your interests.

We may work with advertising networks and affiliate partners who set these cookies on our behalf. These third parties may use the information they collect not only in connection with our Website but also across other websites and services they are involved with.

Please note that, in line with UK Gambling Commission guidance and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Codes of Practice for gambling advertising, we take particular care to ensure that marketing cookies are not used to direct gambling promotions at individuals who have indicated they are under 18, who have self-excluded, or who have set deposit limits on their account.

We rely on your consent before placing marketing cookies on your device.

Age Verification and Responsible Gambling Cookies

As a gambling website serving UK users, we have a legal obligation under the Gambling Act 2005 and our operating conditions to take all reasonable steps to prevent underage gambling and to support responsible gambling. Certain cookies used on this Website are specifically designed to support these obligations.

These cookies may record whether an age verification check has been completed, whether a user has opted into a self-exclusion or cooling-off period, or whether specific responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits or session time reminders have been activated. These cookies are treated as strictly necessary for compliance with our regulatory obligations.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Website are placed by third parties. We do not control those cookies or the data that the third parties collect through them. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third party whose cookies appear on our Website. Key third parties may include:

Google Analytics (analytics and performance tracking), payment processor integrations used to facilitate deposits and withdrawals, live chat support tools, and affiliate tracking systems used to credit introductory partners who directed you to the Website.

These third-party providers are required by us to act in compliance with applicable UK data protection law when handling any personal data collected through their cookies on our Website.

Cookies and Gambling Regulation

BC.Game Casino takes its obligations under UK gambling law seriously. Cookie data is not used in a way that conflicts with our responsible gambling commitments. Specifically:

We do not use cookie data to re-engage users who have self-excluded or requested a cooling-off period. We do not target personalised gambling promotions at users who have set account-level deposit limits. We do not use profiling based on cookie data to encourage excessive gambling behaviour. We cooperate with age-verification processes and use cookies to support, not circumvent, those checks.

If at any point you wish to use our responsible gambling tools, including self-exclusion, deposit limits, or session time alerts, these are accessible from within your account. You can also contact us directly at [email protected].

How to Manage and Control Cookies

When you first visit the Website, you will be shown a cookie consent banner. This gives you the opportunity to accept or decline different categories of cookie before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device. You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Website.

In addition to using our consent management tool, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

To the extent that cookies on this Website result in the processing of personal data, UK GDPR gives you a number of rights in relation to that data. These include the right to access the personal data we hold about you, the right to request correction of any inaccurate data, the right to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances, the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and the right to withdraw your consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing.

Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing data through cookies, withdrawing that consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew it.

To exercise any of your rights or to ask questions about how your data is used, please contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection, at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.

Retention Periods

Different cookies remain active for different lengths of time. Session cookies are removed as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for longer, typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on the purpose. Where cookies process personal data, we retain that data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, in line with our broader data retention practices as described in our Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We review this Cookie Policy periodically to ensure it remains accurate and up to date, particularly where changes occur in our use of cookie technologies, in applicable law, or in guidance issued by regulators such as the ICO or the UK Gambling Commission. Any material changes will be communicated to you through a notice on the Website or, where appropriate, by direct communication.

Your continued use of the Website following any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgement of those changes. Where consent is required, we will ask for it again if there are changes to the cookies we use.
