Cookie Policy
How This Site Uses Cookies

This Cookie Policy explains how this website (the “Site”) – which covers Aviamasters by BGaming and compares the casinos distributing it – uses cookies and related browser-storage technologies. Read it alongside the Privacy Policy for the complete data picture. Cookies here serve three purposes: a technical one, keeping core Site functions working correctly across devices and browsers; an analytical one, generating aggregate statistics on how readers engage with Aviamasters content; and a commercial one, recording affiliate referral events when readers move from here to a partner casino, so that we receive commission credit for qualifying registrations. None of it requires identifying you personally. Continuing to browse after the consent banner appears, without adjusting your settings, constitutes acceptance of non-essential cookies as described below. Necessary cookies are active at all times regardless of preferences, because core Site functions depend on them. Published: July 2026.

// What Cookies Actually Are

A cookie is a small text file a website places on your device when you visit. Your browser stores it and may include it in later requests to the same website, which lets that site recognize returning readers or recall preferences configured earlier. Cookies hold data and nothing more – they cannot run programs, reach other files on your device, or transmit malicious software. Throughout this Policy, “cookies” also covers browser local storage and pixel tags, unless the context calls for a specific distinction between them.

// The Categories We Use

Necessary

These maintain fundamental Site operation: navigation logic, security protections, and display rendering. They fall outside your consent choice and cannot be switched off in our preference tool. Disabling them at browser level will interfere with core Site functionality.

Analytics and performance

These generate aggregated statistics on how readers use this Site: which Aviamasters articles hold sustained attention, how long readers spend on content pages, and which sources send them here. Every figure is aggregate across all visitors – no individual is identified, profiled or tracked.

Affiliate referral

These record a click-through event when a reader moves from this Site to a partner casino. Each one captures a click identifier and the time of the click, with no personal identifying data attached, and records nothing about what happens on the casino platform once the reader has left.

Preference

These store your consent selections and any display settings, so that they are honoured consistently when you return.

// What the Consent Banner Does

On your first visit the banner presents three options: accept all non-essential cookies, decline all non-essential cookies, or open a granular preference panel and choose category by category. Browsing without choosing means only necessary cookies are set – we do not treat passive browsing as consent.

Your preference is stored in a preference cookie. Clear all cookies in your browser and that stored preference is deleted along with them, so the banner reappears on your next visit. Any new category of non-essential cookie introduced in future will always require fresh consent, whatever you chose before.

The preference panel is functional rather than cosmetic. Declining a category genuinely prevents cookies in that category from being placed on your device. Category-level choices are supported, so accepting analytics while declining affiliate referral tracking is a fully valid configuration.

// The Active Cookie Inventory

Every cookie currently in use on this Site is listed below, with its provider, exactly what it does, how long it lasts and the category it belongs to.

We maintain this inventory and update it whenever our cookie usage changes materially.

// Third Parties and the Limits of Our Visibility

Some cookies here are set by third-party tools built into this Site, principally Google Analytics, which operates under its own data processing agreement with us. We do not permit advertising networks, retargeting services, data brokers or comparable third parties to set cookies on this Site or to receive visitor data from it. Nothing deployed here supports behavioural advertising, cross-site user tracking or interest-based profiling.

Once an affiliate referral cookie is set and you navigate to a casino, our visibility into your activity ends entirely. Your Aviamasters sessions, the counter values that resolved each round, the token sequences that appeared, your account balance – none of it is accessible or visible to this Site. The only later signal we receive is a commission eligibility confirmation from the casino’s own affiliate reporting system if a qualifying deposit occurs, and that confirmation carries no personal data about you.

Visibility Limits

No live data connection of any kind exists between this Site and any casino platform. The affiliate referral cookie records a single click event at the moment you leave for a casino. Everything after that – every counter resolution, every token sequence, all session and account data – happens on the casino’s own infrastructure and is completely inaccessible to us. Questions about specific round outcomes, counter values or token combinations belong with the casino that ran those sessions.

Because Aviamasters resolves its rounds automatically, with no cashout action from the player, there is no cashout event for the affiliate tracking cookie to record even hypothetically. The counter system runs on casino infrastructure and concludes there, and our data visibility ends at the click.

// Managing Your Cookies

Three routes are available. The on-site preference panel, shown on your first visit and reachable at any time through the Site footer, gives category-level control over non-essential cookies. Your browser’s native privacy controls manage cookies across every website you visit. For Google Analytics specifically, Google publishes a browser opt-out extension at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Each browser puts the controls in a slightly different place. In Chrome, the path runs through Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, through Settings, then Privacy & Security. In Safari, through Preferences, then Privacy. In Microsoft Edge, through Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.

Declining non-essential cookies does not close off any Aviamasters content or casino comparison content on this Site. It may affect personalization, and it means we cannot attribute a later casino registration to a referral from here – which we accept as the natural consequence of respecting your preference.

Control is exercised category by category through the preference panel. Accepting analytics while declining affiliate referral tracking is a supported combination; you are never forced into accepting or refusing everything at once.

Google Analytics in our configuration anonymizes IP addresses before any data is stored. What reaches us is aggregate content engagement statistics across all visitors – not records tied to individual readers – and we do not use that output to identify or track any specific visitor.

If You Block Necessary Cookies Too

Blocking all cookies at browser level, necessary ones included, typically stops the consent tool working, because the preference cookie cannot be stored. The usual result is the consent banner reappearing on every single visit. Managing categories through the on-site preference panel avoids that side effect while still giving you meaningful control over non-essential cookies.

// Consent and Withdrawal

Consent on this Site operates category by category rather than as a single all-or-nothing switch. You can withdraw any category at any time through the preference panel, and withdrawal takes immediate effect for future cookie placement, though processing that already occurred while consent was active is not undone by it. Newsletter consent is a separate matter, withdrawn through the unsubscribe link in any newsletter rather than through the cookie panel.

// When Cookies Become Personal Data

Where a cookie on this Site processes data that qualifies as personal data under applicable law, our Privacy Policy governs that processing: the applicable legal basis, the retention period, and the rights available to you. Analytics cookies anonymize IP addresses before storage, and affiliate referral cookies hold click events and timestamps rather than individual identities.

We review the practices of the third-party tools we rely on periodically and update this Policy accordingly, so the description here continues to match what is actually running on the Site.

// Do Not Track Headers

Some browsers transmit Do Not Track headers to the websites they visit. No legally binding standard currently governs how a website must respond to them, and this Site does not alter its cookie practices on the strength of such a header. The preference panel described under Managing Your Cookies is the specific and reliable control mechanism for this Site.

// When We Update This Policy

We update this Policy whenever our cookie practices change materially. The current version is always published here, carrying a new effective date.
