Our Cookie Policy, in Plain English
We use cookies and similar small files to keep Ricky Casino working, secure and relevant to you. This page sets out, in plain English, exactly which cookies we set, what each one does, how long it stays on your device, and how you can switch any of them off. No jargon, no surprises.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file a website places on your device when you visit. When you next load a page, your browser sends that file back so the site remembers something about you: that you logged in, that you prefer English, or that you dismissed a banner. They are not programs and cannot install anything on your computer.
We rely on them because the web is stateless. Without a cookie, every page load would treat you as a brand-new visitor, and you would need to log in again each time you opened a game. Alongside classic cookies we also use local storage and similar technologies for the same purposes; everything on this page applies to them too.
The Four Cookie Types We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the casino functioning and cannot be switched off in our settings. They handle your login session, keep your account authenticated between page loads, and protect you against cross-site request forgery and fraudulent logins. Example names include ricky_session, ricky_auth and ricky_csrf.
Functional
These remember choices you make: your language, your preferred currency, game filters and whether you have closed a promotion pop-up. Without them the site still works, but you would need to reset those choices every visit. Examples include ricky_lang and ricky_currency.
Analytics
These help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site: which pages load slowly, where people drop off, which games get the most play. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Example names include ricky_anon_id and ricky_stats.
Marketing
These let us show you Ricky Casino offers that fit your interests, on our site and, with your consent, on other sites through retargeting. They also cap how often you see the same advertisement. Example names include ricky_ads and ricky_rt.
Cookie summary
The table below condenses the four categories into one view, including how to opt out of each.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example names | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, security, session integrity | ricky_session, ricky_csrf | Session or up to 30 days | Cannot be disabled |
| Functional | Language, currency, interface preferences | ricky_lang, ricky_currency | Up to 90 days | Banner settings or browser |
| Analytics | Aggregated site-usage statistics | ricky_anon_id, ricky_stats | Up to 90 days | Banner settings or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting and ad frequency capping | ricky_ads, ricky_rt | Up to 365 days | Banner settings, link in footer, or browser |
Who Else Sets Cookies
Some cookies on our pages are not set by us but by third parties we work with. We allow three narrow categories, and each partner must fit one of them.
Analytics providers measure traffic and performance on our behalf, and their cookies serve the aggregated reporting described above. Advertising networks deliver our promotional campaigns and apply frequency capping, and only with your consent. Payment providers set cookies during deposits and withdrawals so transactions can be completed securely and fraud checks can run.
We do not permit third parties to use these cookies for anything outside the category you agreed to. Where a partner requires consent, you can withdraw it at any time through our cookie banner or the browser steps below.
How You Control Your Settings
On our site
The first time you visit, our banner asks you to accept all cookies or to open granular settings, where you can leave strictly necessary on and switch analytics and marketing off independently. You can reopen that panel at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in our footer, and every change takes effect immediately.
In your browser
You can also block or delete cookies at browser level, regardless of your choice on our banner.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, where you can block all or per site.
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, where "Block all cookies" removes them on both Mac and iOS.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data, then Manage Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.
What blocking means
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break core functions: you will not stay logged in, deposits may fail and games can refuse to load. Blocking functional cookies means resetting your language and currency each visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay; you simply see fewer tailored offers.
How Long We Keep Each One
Every cookie we set has a fixed expiry, and we delete it automatically once that passes. Session cookies are erased the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies last from 30 days for security tokens up to 365 days for marketing consent records, and we never extend a lifetime beyond what its purpose requires.
If you stop visiting Ricky Casino, the longest-lived marketing cookie clears itself within a year, and consent records follow the same ceiling. You can shorten any of these windows yourself by clearing cookies in your browser at any time.
When We Change This Policy
If we add a new cookie category, extend a retention period or bring in a new third-party partner, we update this page and change the "last updated" date at the top. Material changes to what we collect also trigger a fresh consent banner on your next visit, so you never inherit new tracking by silence.
For questions about any cookie on this page, contact our Data Protection Officer through [email protected] or our 24/7 live chat, and we will respond with the specific details you ask for.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept all cookies to play at Ricky Casino?
No. Only strictly necessary cookies are mandatory, and they cover login, security and payments. You can refuse analytics and marketing cookies through the banner and still play every game.
How do I withdraw consent after accepting?
Open "Cookie settings" in our site footer, adjust the toggles and save. The change applies immediately, and the related cookies are deleted from your device.
Do you sell my cookie data?
No. We never sell data collected through cookies. Analytics data stays aggregated, and marketing partners only receive what your consent permits.
Can I delete cookies without losing my account?
Yes. Your account, balance and history live on our servers. Deleting cookies only logs you out and clears local preferences.
