Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 8 May 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to website owners about how visitors interact with their site.

Cookies are stored in your browser and allow a website to recognise your device on return visits. They can remember your preferences, track your browsing activity, and help personalise your experience. Most websites you visit will use cookies in some form, and they are an essential part of how the modern internet functions.

Cookies cannot harm your device, install software, or access other data stored on your computer. They are simply data files that are read by the web server that placed them. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them (persistent cookies).

How AquaPR Uses Cookies

AquaPR uses cookies for several purposes, all of which are designed to improve your experience on our site, help us understand how visitors use our content, and support our ability to provide free, independent casino reviews. We use cookies to:

• Ensure the website functions correctly and delivers content reliably;
• Remember your preferences, such as cookie consent choices;
• Analyse how visitors navigate the site, which pages are most popular, and where users come from;
• Track affiliate referrals when you click through to a casino partner, which is how we fund our operations;
• Measure the effectiveness of our content and identify areas for improvement.

We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information unless you have voluntarily provided it (for example, by submitting a contact form). Our use of cookies is designed to be proportionate and privacy-respecting.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the website. Without these cookies, certain features of the site would not work correctly. These cookies do not collect personal information and are typically set in response to actions you take on the site, such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between pages.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use the website. They do not track your browsing activity on other websites and are not used for marketing purposes. Examples include cookies that manage your session, remember your cookie consent preferences, and ensure pages load correctly.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with AquaPR. Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on different sections, where our traffic comes from, and how visitors navigate through the site. This information is invaluable for improving our content, identifying technical issues, and understanding what our readers find most useful.

Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised, meaning we cannot identify individual users from the analytics data. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled, which means your full IP address is never stored by Google on our behalf.

The analytics data we collect includes: pages visited, time spent on each page, referring websites, device type and browser, general geographic location (country or city level), and user flow through the site. This data helps us make informed decisions about which content to create, update, or improve.

Advertising and Affiliate Tracking Cookies

As an affiliate review site, AquaPR earns revenue when visitors click through to partner casinos and register or make deposits. Affiliate tracking cookies are essential for this process -- they record that a visitor arrived at a partner casino's website via AquaPR, so that we receive the appropriate referral commission.

These cookies are set when you click on an affiliate link (such as a "Visit Casino" or "Claim Bonus" button) and typically persist for a set duration (usually 30 to 90 days, depending on the affiliate programme). The cookies contain a tracking identifier that associates your visit with AquaPR but do not contain personal information such as your name or email address.

Some of our affiliate partners may also set their own cookies when you visit their sites. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective partner's cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. AquaPR does not control the cookies set by third-party casino operators.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, certain third parties may set cookies on your device when you use AquaPR. These third parties include:

• Google Analytics -- for anonymised website usage analysis;
• Casino affiliate partners -- for tracking referrals and attributing registrations;
• Content delivery networks -- for ensuring fast, reliable delivery of website assets such as fonts and stylesheets.

We carefully select our third-party partners and review their privacy and cookie practices. However, we do not have direct control over the cookies set by third parties, and their use of cookies is subject to their own policies.

Please note that the cookies used on the Site may change from time to time as we update our systems, add new features, or modify our analytics and tracking tools. We will update this table periodically to reflect any changes.
