The details below are illustrative only and do not constitute legal advice. Always have your final policy reviewed by a qualified professional before publishing. +{{< /notice >}} + +This page explains what cookies are, which ones BossCasino uses, and how you stay in control. We keep things plain so you can make an informed choice in seconds. + +## What are cookies + +Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help pages remember your actions and preferences, such as your language or whether you are signed in, so you do not have to set them again on every visit. + +Some cookies are essential and make the site work at all. Others are optional and only run if you agree to them. You are always free to accept or decline the optional ones, and you can change your mind later at any time. + +### Cookies we use + +We rely on a small set of strictly necessary cookies to deliver core features. These keep your session secure, remember items you have selected, and help protect the site against fraud and abuse. Because the site cannot function properly without them, they do not require consent. + +When you make a choice about optional cookies, we record that decision in your browser using a `localStorage` key named `bosscasino_consent`. This lets us honour your preference on future visits without asking you again on every page. Clearing your browser storage will reset this key, and you will be asked once more. + +### Optional analytics + +Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve navigation and content. They tell us which pages are popular and where people get stuck, always in aggregate and never to identify you personally. + +Importantly, **analytics is switched off by default**. Nothing non-essential loads until you actively opt in. If you take no action, only the strictly necessary cookies described above will run, and no analytics data is collected. + +### Managing your choice + +You can update your preference whenever you like. Revisit the consent banner, or clear the `bosscasino_consent` key from your browser storage to be prompted again. You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect how the site behaves. + +For more detail on how we handle any personal data, please read our [privacy policy](/privacy-policy/). If you have questions about your choices, feel free to [get in touch with our team](/contact/). + +### More information + +Most browsers let you review, restrict, or remove stored cookies through their help or settings menus. Your browser's documentation is the best place to find step-by-step guidance for your specific device. + +BossCasino operates under a sample Malta Gaming Authority licence (MGA/B2C/000/0000, sample) and treats your privacy and safety as a priority. Managing cookies is just one small part of staying in control online. + +### A note on responsible gambling + +Controlling your data goes hand in hand with staying in control of your play. Please gamble responsibly, set your own limits, and only wager what you can comfortably afford to lose. If gambling ever stops feeling like fun, take a break and read our [responsible gambling guide](/responsible-gambling/) for support tools and further help. You must be 18 or over to play.
