Cookie Policy
See what cookies this site uses, why they’re set, and how to manage or block them through your browser settings at any point.
Small files called cookies sit on a device once someone visits blastthebasscasino.com. They keep preferences saved and help us understand how visitors browse. This page explains what gets set, why, and how to control it, and reading through it takes a couple of minutes.
This site doesn’t run accounts or process payments, so cookies here are limited to browsing behaviour and basic site function rather than anything tied to a casino balance. Got further questions? Reach out through the contact page at any point.
Why We Use Cookies
Some cookies keep the site working properly, keeping track of things like whether a cookie banner has already been dismissed. Others help us understand which pages get visited most, which sections people skip, and where visitors tend to drop off. None of this ties back to a named individual since we don’t run an account system that could link browsing data to a specific person.
A few categories of cookie show up across the site:
- Essential cookies, needed for basic site function like keeping banner preferences saved
- Analytics cookies, tracking page visits and behaviour in aggregate, anonymised form
- Affiliate tracking cookies, recording when a click on a casino link came from this site
That last category matters for how this site earns money. When someone clicks through to a listed casino and signs up, an affiliate cookie tells that casino the referral came from here, and that’s how we earn a commission. It doesn’t cost the visitor anything extra or affect what they pay or receive at the casino itself.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this page come from outside services rather than from us directly, mainly analytics providers and the casinos we link to. Analytics cookies help us see broad traffic patterns without identifying individual visitors personally. Affiliate cookies from casino partners track referrals in the way described above, governed by each partner’s own cookie practices once a visitor reaches their site.
We don’t control what a third-party casino does with its own cookies once someone clicks through to their platform. Their own cookie policy, usually linked in their site footer, covers anything that happens after that click. Worth checking that policy directly if cookie behaviour on a casino’s own site is a concern.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most browsers let visitors block or delete cookies through their own settings, accessible from the browser’s privacy or security menu. Blocking analytics cookies won’t affect how this page displays or functions, since they only collect usage data rather than enabling features. Blocking essential cookies might mean the cookie banner reappears on every visit, which is a minor inconvenience rather than a functional problem.
A cookie banner appears on first visit, giving the option to accept or decline non-essential categories individually. Changing a mind later just means clearing cookies through browser settings and revisiting that banner. Browser-level controls also let visitors block cookies from specific domains if they want more granular control.
How Long Cookies Last
Some cookies disappear the moment a browser tab closes, while others stick around for weeks or months to recognise return visits. Affiliate tracking cookies typically last anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on the casino partner’s own tracking window. Analytics cookies tend to follow standard industry retention periods, usually somewhere between 13 and 24 months before automatically expiring.
None of these cookies get renewed indefinitely without a fresh visit, so inactive cookies eventually clear themselves even without manual deletion. A visitor wanting cookies gone immediately doesn’t need to wait for expiry, clearing them through browser settings works straightaway.
Questions About This Page
Anyone with questions about cookies on this site, or about how affiliate tracking works in practice, can reach out through the contact page at blastthebasscasino.com. We read every message and aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe. Updates to this policy get posted here whenever something meaningful changes, so checking back occasionally is worth doing.
