This Cookie Policy explains how Nine Casino uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit nine-uk-casino.com. It sets out what these files do, why we rely on them, and how you can control them in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
By continuing to browse our site, you agree to the use of cookies as described below, unless you have adjusted your browser or device settings to refuse them. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and support functions such as staying logged in, keeping your session secure, and displaying content relevant to you.
Cookies are not capable of running programs or delivering viruses to your device. They simply store information, and only the website that placed them (or an approved third party) can read that information back.
Why Nine Casino Uses Cookies
As a UK Gambling Commission licensed operator, we use cookies for several connected purposes:
- Keeping your account secure while you are logged in and playing.
- Verifying that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 before granting access to real-money games.
- Remembering your cookie and privacy preferences so you are not asked repeatedly.
- Understanding how visitors use the site so we can fix issues and improve navigation.
- Supporting responsible gambling features, including reality checks and self-exclusion status.
- Measuring the performance of promotions and affiliate referrals so we can run the site sustainably.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings tool. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting your privacy preferences, or filling in a deposit form. They include cookies that:
- Maintain your logged-in session across pages.
- Distribute traffic across our servers for stable performance.
- Confirm age verification and jurisdiction so gameplay is only offered where it is lawful.
- Protect the site and your account against fraud and unauthorised access.
Because these cookies are required for the casino to operate safely, they are placed regardless of your cookie consent choice, in line with PECR’s exemption for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as language, currency, or display settings, so you don’t need to reset them on every visit. They make the site more convenient but are not essential to its core operation. If you disable these cookies, some features may not work as smoothly.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, including which pages are visited most often, how long sessions last, and whether any error messages appear. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify you as an individual. We use this information to identify weak points in navigation, test layout changes, and prioritise fixes.
Advertising and Affiliate Cookies
Nine Casino works with marketing partners and affiliates to reach UK players. Cookies in this category record which channel referred you to the site and help us measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns. They may also be used to limit how often you see the same advertisement and to prevent adverts from being shown once you have registered.
These cookies do not process your gambling activity or financial details for advertising purposes. Advertising cookies are only set with your consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are placed by third parties whose services are embedded within our pages, including analytics providers, payment processors, live chat software, and game studios such as those powering our slots and live dealer tables. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review if you want more detail on how they process data.
We select third-party partners carefully and require that any data sharing complies with UK data protection law.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Cookie banner: When you first visit nine-uk-casino.com, a cookie banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or adjust settings by category.
- Browser controls: Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings menu. Instructions vary by browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), and each browser’s help section provides step-by-step guidance.
- Device settings: On mobile devices, you can usually limit ad tracking or reset advertising identifiers through your device’s privacy settings.
- Opt-out tools: For advertising cookies specifically, industry opt-out pages such as Your Online Choices allow you to manage preferences with multiple advertising networks at once.
Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including account login and secure gameplay, from working correctly. Blocking age-verification cookies may also affect our ability to confirm your eligibility to play.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookies fall into two broad categories based on how long they last:
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. These are typically used to keep you securely logged in during a single visit.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, ranging from a few days to a couple of years, depending on their purpose. These are used for things like remembering your preferences between visits or recognising a returning affiliate referral.
Cookies and Responsible Gambling
Certain cookies support the responsible gambling tools available on your account, such as reality check reminders and deposit limit settings. If you have registered with GAMSTOP or set self-exclusion preferences, related identifiers may be used to ensure those restrictions are correctly applied across sessions. These cookies exist to protect you and cannot be disabled without affecting the safeguards themselves.
If you have concerns about your gambling and want support, the following organisations offer free and confidential help:
- GamCare: 0808 8020 133 (free, 24/7)
- BeGambleAware: begambleaware.org
- Gambling Therapy: gamblingtherapy.org
Children and Cookies
Nine Casino is intended exclusively for players aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from minors, and age-verification cookies are in place precisely to prevent underage access to real-money gambling features.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in applicable law, or in our services. Any changes will be published on this page, and where the changes are significant, we will highlight them through the cookie banner or another visible notice on the site.
