Cookie Policy

Buzz Bingo Cookie Policy

Hey there! This notice is here to give you the lowdown on cookies (no, not the choc-chip kind - we wish!) that Buzz Bingo and Buzz Casino ("we", "our", "us") use on buzzbingo.com and buzzcasino.com.

Whenever you visit us, we collect and use information through cookies and some other handy tools (like pixel tags and web beacons) to make your experience better. If any of the info collected qualifies as personal data, our Privacy Policy’s got you covered! So, grab a cuppa and read this Cookie Notice and our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies, anyway?

Cookies are small text files that make a big difference! They store themselves on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website to help keep track of your preferences and make things run smoothly. They’re used all over the internet to make websites work better, load faster, and display content just for you.

Consent Mechanism Compliance

We are committed to ensuring that our use of cookies complies with data protection laws, including the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and PECR. Our cookie consent mechanism is designed to obtain your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device.

When you visit our website, you are presented with a clear choice to “Allow All,” “Necessary Only or “Customise” options through our cookie banner. Consent is obtained on a per-category basis (e.g. analytics, marketing) and is not bundled, allowing you to make granular decisions. We also log and store your consent choices to demonstrate compliance and allow you to withdraw or change your consent at any time via the “Manage Cookies” link on our site. This ensures transparency and gives you full control over your cookie preferences.

Use of Consent Management Platform (CMP)

We use Cookiebot as our Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage and document user consent in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Cookiebot ensures that consent is collected in line with the Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2 developed by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), or an equivalent standard. This means that users are presented with a transparent, granular choice over which categories of cookies they accept, and their preferences are recorded, securely stored, and can be easily reviewed or changed at any time. Cookiebot also enables us to automatically block non-essential cookies until valid consent is obtained, ensuring that our site remains compliant and user-friendly.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Session cookies are short-lived and disappear when you close your browser. They are used for example to maintain the state of a user session - like keeping you logged in while you move between pages.
  • Persistent cookies stick around on your device until you delete them, or they expire. They are used to remember user preferences or login details across multiple visits.
  • First-party cookies are set by our website to make your visit as smooth as possible.
  • Third-party cookies are set by services we use, like advertisers and analytics tools, to help us improve our site.

Why do we use cookies?

Here’s how cookies improve your experience on our site:

  • Smoother Browsing: Cookies remember your settings, so things are more personalised for you.
  • Keep Things Secure: They help keep your account safe, remember you, and make signing in easy.
  • Site Improvements: Cookies show us what’s working and what could be better, so we’re always improving.
  • Relevant Ads: Cookies tailor ads to your interests, so you see promos and offers that matter to you.

How do we use cookies?

Each category of cookies does its own job. Here’s what they do on our website:

  • Necessary cookies keep the website working properly so you can log in, use key features, and access secure areas. You can’t disable these cookies because they're essential. Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • Preference cookies remember your choices like language preferences. Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
  • Statistic cookies like Google Analytics give us anonymous insights on site traffic and engagement. Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
  • Marketing cookies collect data about your web browsing to show you ads and offers that are relevant to you. Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

When do we set cookies?

We only place non-essential cookies (preference, statistic, marketing) after you have given us your consent via our cookie banner or settings. You can accept all, reject all, or customise your preferences before we set any optional cookies.

What does our cookie banner show?

When you visit our site for the first time (or if your preferences have expired), you’ll see a cookie banner. It gives you options to:

  • Allow all cookies
  • Necessary only cookies
  • Customise cookie preferences by category

Your preferences are recorded and can be changed any time via the "Manage Cookies" link at the bottom of the page and then clicking on the link “Change your consent.”

Cookie Retention

Cookies are stored on your device for varying lengths of time depending on their type and purpose. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device until they expire after a predefined period or are manually deleted by you. The duration for each cookie depends on its function—for example, a cookie remembering your login preferences may persist for several days or weeks, while analytics cookies might remain active for up to two years. You can find specific retention periods for each cookie we use in our Cookie Table, and you can delete or manage these cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Our cookie list

For transparency, we provide a complete list of all the cookies we use. You can view the full up-to-date list, including cookie names, purposes, durations, and providers by visiting our Cookie Table. This list is reviewed and updated regularly.

Managing cookies in your browser settings

Want to delete or block cookies? You can do this through your browser:

  • Firefox
  • Internet Explorer
  • Google Chrome
  • Safari

Managing tracking in mobile apps

Tracking on mobile apps can be controlled through device and app settings:

  • Apple iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking
  • Android: Go to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalisation

Note: We may use third-party SDKs like Google Firebase or Facebook SDK for analytics and ads. In-app opt-out options are available within the app's settings menu.

Deleting cookies removes cookies that have already been stored on your device. But remember, once they’re gone, websites can still place new cookies on your device unless you block them.

Blocking cookies stops websites from storing new cookies on your device, but it might affect how some features work.

To delete or block cookies simply check your preferred browser's help section for instructions. For more information on managing behavioural advertising cookies, visit youronlinechoices.eu.
