Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This WILL prevent you from taking full advantage of the website …

Specifically if you delete or don’t allow cookies you will not be correctly tracked to receive exclusive sign-up bonus offers from poker rooms when you sign-up.

EC Cookies Directive

Under the new EC Cookie Directive we are now dictated to inform visitors that we use cookies for improving the experience offered by our site and that you may wish to delete or block cookies.

Please understand if you block cookies you will NOT be correctly tracked to receive poker room sign-up offers and bonuses we want to offer you.

By informing you we are trying to comply with this new directive which is very confusing as to what we are actually supposed to do but this is our best shot at complying for the moment.

What Are Cookies ?

A cookie is a small file that is downloaded onto your computer when you visit a website. It allows us to recognize and tailor our site to you and it won’t harm your computer.

Cookies We Use

Essential – Some of the cookies on our website are essential for us to be able to provide you with a service you have requested. An example of this would be a cookie used to enable you to log into your forum account on the website or which allows communication between your browser and the website. You may not be able to use our website without these cookies.

Analytics – We use google analytics cookies to helps us understand how users engage with our website. An example is counting the number of different people coming to our website or using a particular feature, rather than the total number of times the site or feature is used. Without this cookie, if you visited the website once each week for three weeks we would count you as three separate users. We would find it difficult to analyse how well our website was performing and improve it without these cookies.

Social Sharing – We use cookies to allow you to share content directly on the social networking/sharing sites like Facebook, Twitter or Google+. Examples would be if you wanted to “like” or “tweet” about a business or product advertised on our website.

Affiliate Based Links and Banners – We are affiliates for poker rooms and other poker related businesses. We receive commissions from those sites for promoting / advertising and recommending these sites. When visitors click through links or banners to these poker rooms from our site those clicks are tracked by the poker rooms to make sure the correct affiliates are credited with generating new customers and players for those poker rooms.

We also offer some exclusive sign-up offers for those poker rooms. To get those bonuses it is vital to allow cookies if you want to be sure you are correctly tagged to gamblista and to receive your sign-up offers.

Please note: Most of the cookies we use are third party cookies like facebook, google analytics & the trackers required by poker rooms which we do not have any control over.

Opting Out of Cookies

If you prefer, you can restrict, block or delete cookies by changing your browser settings however that WILL mean that you won’t be correctly tracked and able to get our special bonus offers when you sign-up at poker rooms via our links.

This is really important if you opt out of cookies we cannot guarantee you will get our advertised offers … You should use our bonus codes where possible but the best solution is to allow cookies.

Just to re-emphasise it’s vitally important that when you sign-up to a site via our links or bonus codes that you are tracked by the poker rooms so they can credit us with a commission – this is how we provide all the free content and everything else on gamblista for free.
