Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 June 2026
This Cookie Policy lists every cookie Joe Fortune uses, what it does, who sets it and how long it lasts — and shows you how to control them in any browser. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains your broader data rights. For help accessing your account, see the login guide.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device through your browser. They remember things about your visit — a language choice, a session, basic visit statistics. They cannot carry viruses and cannot read other files on your device. There are first-party cookies (set by this site) and third-party cookies (set by services such as Google). By lifespan they are either session cookies, deleted when you close the browser, or persistent cookies, kept for a set time. Without some cookies, parts of any modern site simply would not work.
The categories we use
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working — navigation, security checks and your consent choice. They carry no marketing data and cannot be switched off. Analytics cookies tell us, anonymously and in aggregate, which pages are popular and where visitors come from, so we can improve the content. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language. Marketing cookies are set by affiliate partners purely to record that a click-through to a casino came from us — they do not build an advertising profile and do not follow you with targeted ads.

Third-party cookies in detail
Google Analytics (Google LLC): we run Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic. It records page views, session length and traffic sources in anonymised form, with IP anonymisation on. You can opt out site-wide with Google's official add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cloudflare (Cloudflare Inc.): protects the site from attacks and speeds up delivery. It may set technical cookies to tell legitimate users from bots; these hold no personal data and are not used for tracking.
Affiliate networks: when you click through to a casino, the partner sets a cookie holding only a technical click identifier — not your name or email. It exists so the partner programme works and clears itself after 30–90 days. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

If you turn cookies off
Block strictly necessary cookies and some features may misbehave. Block analytics cookies and your experience is unchanged, but we lose the statistics that help us improve. Block marketing cookies and you can still use everything, though click-throughs may not be attributed to us. Either way, all content stays fully readable without any cookies, and you can change your settings whenever you like. Questions? Use Contact Us.
