Cookie Policy

We want to be upfront about how this site uses cookies — what they are, why we use them, and how you can control them. Here’s everything you need to know.

What Cookies Are

If you’ve spent any time online, cookies have been part of your experience whether you’ve noticed them or not. They’re small text files that get stored on your device — phone, tablet, laptop — when you visit a website. On their own they’re harmless, but they serve an important purpose: they let a website recognize your device and remember things about your visit, so the site can work properly and feel consistent each time you come back.

Cookies come in a couple of different forms. Session cookies are temporary — they only exist for the duration of your visit and disappear the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around longer, either until a set expiry date passes or until you delete them yourself. There’s also a distinction between first-party cookies, which are placed directly by the website you’re visiting, and third-party cookies, which are set by external services that the site connects to — things like analytics tools or affiliate platforms.

None of this is unique to us. Most websites you visit use some combination of these. What matters is that you understand what’s being used and why — which is exactly what this page is here to explain.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a few straightforward reasons. The most basic is simply keeping the site functional — without certain cookies, core features like navigation and page loading wouldn’t work reliably. Beyond that, cookies help us understand how people actually use the site: which pages get the most attention, where people tend to drop off, and what content seems to be genuinely useful versus what might need rethinking.

That kind of insight matters to us. This site exists to provide clear, honest information, and we can only do that well if we understand what’s working and what isn’t. Cookies give us a practical way to see that, without having to guess.

Cookies are also used for basic security purposes — helping to prevent misuse of the site — and to support affiliate tracking when you follow a link to a third-party casino. That tracking is what allows referrals to be recorded and attributed correctly, which in turn is how the site generates revenue to stay operational.

What we don’t use cookies for is building profiles on individual users, collecting sensitive personal information, or tracking your behavior across other websites. Our use of cookies is limited to what’s described on this page.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are the cookies that keep the lights on. Without them, basic things like moving between pages, loading content correctly, and maintaining a secure connection simply wouldn’t work. They’re not optional in the sense that turning them off would mean parts of the site stop functioning — but they’re also not doing anything beyond what’s needed to make the site work.

Because they’re essential to basic operation, these cookies don’t require your consent under EU regulations. They’re placed automatically when you visit the site. If you do choose to block them through your browser settings, some features may not behave as expected.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies give us a picture of how the site is being used. We’re talking about things like which pages are visited most, how long people spend reading a particular piece of content, what devices and browsers are being used, and how visitors generally move through the site. None of this tells us who you are — it’s aggregated data that helps us see patterns rather than track individuals.

We use this information to make the site better. If a page has a high drop-off rate, that’s a signal that something isn’t working — maybe the content is unclear, or the structure is confusing. Analytics give us the data we need to make informed decisions instead of just guessing. Where possible, IP addresses are anonymized before any data is processed.

Affiliate and Tracking Cookies

This one is worth explaining clearly because it’s specific to how this site operates. casino-without-swedish-license.se is partly funded through affiliate partnerships. That means when you click a link to a third-party casino, a tracking cookie may be set — either by the casino operator or by the affiliate network they use — to record that the visit came from our site. If you then go on to register an account or take certain actions on that casino’s platform, the referral gets attributed back to us, and we may receive a commission.

These cookies are set and managed by the third parties involved, not by us directly. We don’t receive any personally identifiable information through this process. The tracking is purely for referral attribution — confirming that a visit originated from a specific link — and nothing more. We mention this here because we think you should know how the site generates revenue, and affiliate tracking is part of that picture.

Third-Party Cookies

Some of the cookies active on this site aren’t placed by us at all — they come from third-party services we use, such as analytics platforms or affiliate networks. These providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, and their data handling practices are governed by those policies rather than ours.

We don’t have direct control over how third-party cookies behave once they’re set, and we can’t modify or delete them on your behalf. If you want to understand exactly how a specific third-party provider handles data, the best place to look is their own documentation. We’d encourage you to do that, particularly for services you interact with frequently.

Under EU data protection law and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies — meaning anything beyond what’s strictly required to run the site — can only be placed with your consent. Where that applies, we ask before setting them.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the consent tool on the site, or adjust them at any time through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent is always an option. The legal basis for using a given cookie will depend on its category: strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of legitimate interest in operating the site, while analytics and tracking cookies require explicit consent where mandated by applicable law.

We’ve tried to keep this straightforward rather than hiding it in fine print. If you’re unsure about anything related to consent or your rights under data protection law, you’re welcome to get in touch.

How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have real control over cookies, and exercising that control is easier than most people realize. Every major browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — lets you view, block, or delete cookies through the settings menu. You can choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear cookies that are already stored on your device.

A few things worth knowing before you do: blocking strictly necessary cookies will likely affect how the site functions, and some features may stop working properly. Blocking analytics or affiliate cookies won’t break anything from your end, but it does limit our ability to understand site usage and track referrals. That’s your call to make, and we respect it either way.

If you’re not sure where to find cookie settings in your browser, searching for “manage cookies” alongside your browser name will bring up the relevant instructions quickly. Most browsers also have options to notify you each time a cookie is about to be set, which gives you more granular control if you want it.

Cookies Set When Clicking External Links

When you follow a link from this site to a third-party website — including any affiliate links to casino operators — you’re entering a different environment with its own rules. Those sites may set cookies on your device in line with their own policies, and those cookies are entirely outside our control or responsibility.

We can’t tell you what every third-party site does with cookies, and we wouldn’t want to guess. What we can do is encourage you to check the cookie and privacy policies of any external site before you interact with it, particularly if you’re going to create an account or share any personal details.

Different cookies are designed to last for different lengths of time. Session cookies, as mentioned earlier, are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser — they don’t linger. Persistent cookies last for a defined period, which varies depending on what they’re used for. Some might expire after a few days; others are set to last for months or longer.

For cookies placed by third-party services, the retention period is set by the provider and isn’t something we control. If retention periods for a specific third-party cookie are important to you, the relevant provider’s documentation is the right place to look.

Updates to This Policy

Cookie practices evolve — technology changes, regulations get updated, and the way websites operate shifts over time. We’ll update this page when anything relevant changes, whether that’s because of new features on the site, new third-party integrations, or changes in the legal requirements that apply to us.

When updates are made, the revised version will be published here. We won’t always be able to notify you directly, so if this is something you want to stay on top of, it’s worth checking back occasionally. Continuing to use the site after an update has been posted means you’re accepting the revised policy.

Questions About Cookies

If anything on this page is unclear, or if you have a specific question about how cookies are used on this site, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can find our contact details on the Contact page. We’re genuinely happy to answer questions about cookies and data protection — transparency is something we take seriously, not just something we write about.
