Cookies – signupbonuscheck
Checking a sign-up offer’s terms on signupbonuscheck does not need an account, but a small number of files still land in your browser while you read, and this page explains them.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can recognise that browser again later. Some are required simply to make a page function; others count visits or hold a setting.
Cookies we use
- Essential cookies — keep basic site functions running, such as remembering a chosen setting. They cannot be turned off from within the site.
- Analytics cookies — report, in aggregate, how many people read a page and where they arrived from. They are not used to identify an individual reader.
None of these cookies carry advertising, and none passes your browsing on to a gambling operator.
The legal basis in the UK
Cookies fall under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). A cookie strictly necessary for the site to work needs no consent; anything beyond that does, unless an exemption applies. Where a cookie touches personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply too, as set out in the privacy policy.
How long they last
Session cookies clear once the browser closes. Persistent analytics cookies expire on a fixed schedule, never past 13 months.
Switching cookies off
Every major browser offers controls to view, block and delete cookies. Blocking essential ones can break parts of the site; blocking analytics ones changes nothing about reading it.
