1Red Casino Cookie Policy
The cookies and similar technologies 1Red Casino uses, what they do and how you control them in your browser.
1Red Casino uses cookies and similar technologies to run the casino, remember your preferences, keep your account secure and measure how the product is used. This page explains the categories of cookies we set, the third parties who set cookies through our site, how long each cookie lasts and how to control them from your browser or from inside your account.
What is a cookie and what does it do at 1Red Casino?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. When you return to the site, your browser sends the cookie back so the site can recognise you, keep you signed in, remember your language preference, track which bonus you've claimed and keep your bet slip populated as you move between pages. Most cookies are harmless and improve how the site works. A small number are used for analytics and a small number are used for advertising.
Beyond traditional cookies we also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage, web beacons and pixel tags. The way you control them is functionally the same as a cookie, you can clear them from your browser settings or by using the cookie preference panel that appeared when you first visited the site.
What types of cookies does 1Red Casino actually set?
Strictly necessary cookies keep you signed in, process your deposits and withdrawals, balance the load across our servers and protect the site against fraud. These can't be switched off because the casino cannot function without them. Functional cookies remember your language, currency, time zone and game lobby preferences so you don't have to reconfigure them every visit.
Performance cookies measure how the site is used in aggregate so we can spot pages that load slowly, games that crash, or flows that confuse new players. Marketing cookies, set only with your consent, are used to measure the performance of advertising campaigns and to deliver more relevant promotional content. You can switch off performance and marketing cookies at any time from the cookie preference panel.
Which third parties set cookies through 1Red Casino?
We use Google Analytics for aggregate usage measurement, Cloudflare for security and performance, Hotjar for occasional product research with consent, and a small number of advertising network tags that only fire when you've given explicit marketing consent. Game studios such as Pragmatic Play and Evolution set cookies inside their game iframes to manage in-game state. Payment providers set cookies during checkout to complete your transaction securely.
Each third party has its own privacy and cookie policies. Where they process your data on our behalf, we have data processing agreements in place that meet UK GDPR requirements. You can opt out of analytics and marketing cookies from the cookie preference panel at any time, which stops new tags from firing immediately.
How do I control or delete cookies on my device?
The fastest route is the cookie preference panel on this site, accessed from the small icon at the bottom-left of any page. From there you can switch off analytics and marketing cookies in one click. Your preference is saved in a single cookie that expires after 12 months, at which point we'll ask again.
You can also clear or block cookies entirely from your browser settings. Each browser handles this slightly differently but the steps are documented under cookie management in the help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the casino from working, including sign-in, depositing and playing any game.

How long do 1Red Casino cookies last and what's the legal basis for each one?
Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Strictly necessary session cookies expire when you close your browser. Functional preference cookies persist for up to 12 months so your language and currency settings stick across visits. Performance analytics cookies typically expire after 24 months but anonymise your identifier after 14 months. Marketing cookies expire after either 90 days or 13 months depending on the network. Every cookie has its lifetime listed in the cookie preference panel so you can audit what's stored on your device at any time.
What's the legal basis for each cookie type at 1Red Casino?
Strictly necessary cookies run on the legitimate-interest basis under UK GDPR because the casino genuinely cannot function without them. They're exempt from the consent requirement under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations as long as we're only using them for the strict purpose of providing the service you've requested. Functional cookies that remember preferences sit on the same legitimate-interest basis when they're set as a direct result of your choices, and consent-based when they're cross-product preferences that span brands.
Performance analytics cookies are set only after you've accepted the analytics category in the cookie preference panel. Marketing cookies are set only after you've accepted the marketing category. You can withdraw consent for either category at any time from the same panel and the relevant cookies stop firing immediately. Any previously-collected analytics or marketing data tied to those cookies is then aggregated and anonymised within 30 days under our retention schedule, which matches the rules in the Privacy Policy.
How does the 1Red Casino cookie preference panel actually work?
The panel appears on your first visit and is reachable any time afterwards from the cookie icon at the bottom-left of every page. It lists each cookie category, explains what it does in plain English, and offers per-category toggles. Saving your choice writes a single preferences cookie that lasts 12 months, at which point we ask again. The preferences cookie itself is a first-party cookie and contains no personal data, just the categories you've accepted or rejected.
Changing your preferences mid-session takes effect on the next page load. Switching off analytics or marketing also triggers a clean-up routine that drops any active analytics or marketing cookies already on your device. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off because the casino, the games lobby and the cashier all depend on them to function. If you'd rather close your account entirely rather than manage cookie preferences, the Close Account page covers the process.
