Cookie Policy
This page explains how cookies work on Basswin, what we store, which third parties set their own, and how you can manage or decline them without losing core functionality.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file a site places in your browser to remember settings, analyse traffic or deliver relevant ads. Basswin uses both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by analytics, advertising or hosting partners embedded in our pages).
We do not collect payment details, account credentials or any data the reviewed operator holds. Our cookies track only what happens on this portal — page views, referral sources, device type and consent choices.
What is stored and for how long
The cookies Basswin sets directly fall into three categories, each with its own lifespan and purpose.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, consent preferences, security | Session or 12 months |
| Analytics | Page views, bounce rate, traffic sources | 24 months |
| Marketing | Ad delivery, retargeting, affiliate attribution | 12–24 months |
Necessary cookies keep the site working — they remember your cookie banner choice, maintain your session if you submit a contact form, and prevent cross-site request forgery. These are set automatically and cannot be declined without losing functionality.
Analytics cookies measure traffic and help us understand which pages are read, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. We use Google Analytics, which sets cookies such as _ga and _gid. You can decline these through the banner without breaking navigation or content access.
Marketing and advertising cookies track referrals and attribute sign-ups to the correct affiliate channel. These support ad networks and may follow you across sites. Declining them removes personalised ads but leaves generic ones in place.
Embedded third parties
Our pages embed scripts from partners we do not control directly. Each may set its own cookies when their content loads.
- Google Analytics — tracks anonymised usage data; their privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Advertising networks — serve banner ads and affiliate links; each network operates under its own terms.
- Hosting and CDN providers — deliver static assets and may log requests for performance monitoring.
We select partners based on their compliance with UK data-protection standards, but once their script runs on your device, their own policies govern what they collect. Review those policies where you want detail beyond what we summarise here.
Declining without breaking the site
You control cookies at two levels — our banner and your browser.
The consent banner appears on your first visit and lets you accept all, reject optional categories, or pick which types to allow. Your choice is stored in a necessary cookie so the banner does not reappear every session. Necessary cookies remain active regardless of your selection because the site cannot function without them — they manage the consent record itself, secure forms, and prevent request forgery.
If you decline analytics and marketing cookies through the banner, those scripts will not fire and the corresponding cookies will not be set. Navigation, content and contact forms work exactly as before. The only change is that we lose visibility into aggregate traffic patterns, and ads lose the ability to retarget you based on pages you have read here.
Your browser settings offer deeper control and override anything the banner does. Each major browser lets you block all cookies, delete existing ones, or allow only those from sites you visit directly (blocking third parties by default).
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies".
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → select Strict to block most trackers and third-party cookies.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → tick "Block all cookies" or "Prevent cross-site tracking".
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies → choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies".
Blocking all cookies will break login sessions on most sites and may prevent forms from submitting. Blocking third-party cookies only — the typical middle ground — leaves core functionality intact while cutting off most tracking.
Updates
We review this policy when our cookie use changes — when we add a new analytics tool, switch advertising partners, or adjust consent mechanisms. The date at the foot of this page shows the last revision. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
No email notification is sent for policy changes. Check back here if you want to stay informed, or contact us at [email protected] with questions about what a specific cookie does or why a particular partner is embedded.
