Cookies and browser storage
Updated 8 August 2026 · Google Analytics consent controls added
Google Analytics is optional. Its tag is not downloaded, its cookies are not set and Analytics data is not sent until you actively allow analytics cookies.
What browser storage means
Cookies are small text records placed by a website or service. Local storage is a similar browser feature that keeps information on your device. Simulator session records are stored locally rather than sent to our servers.
Necessary storage
| Record | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| casinoLabsConsentV2 | Remembers your privacy choice and its date. | Until cleared or replaced |
| practiceCurrency | Remembers your chosen display currency. | Until cleared |
| rouletteLabV2 | Stores your local roulette settings and session. | Until reset or cleared |
| blackjackLab | Stores your local blackjack settings and session. | Until reset or cleared |
| pokerLab | Stores your local poker settings and session. | Until reset or cleared |
Optional Google Analytics cookies
| Cookie | Purpose | Google's default duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for Google Analytics reporting. | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Persists Google Analytics session state. | 2 years |
Provider: Google Ireland Limited. Measurement ID: G-45XQJ9Q7R8. These cookies and the Analytics tag remain off unless you consent. Google may receive page, device, browser, approximate location and interaction information after consent.
Optional advertising technologies
Google AdSense and participating advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and similar identifiers for ad delivery, frequency control, measurement and fraud prevention and, where valid consent is given, personalisation. Google may use advertising cookies based on visits to this website and other websites. Visitors can manage personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings and can read how Google uses information from partner sites.
For UK, EEA and Swiss visitors, advertising choices are requested separately through Google’s certified consent-management platform. Advertising and consent-required advertising storage must remain off where the required permission has not been obtained.
Changing your choice
Use the control in the footer at any time. Rejecting or later switching Analytics off prevents future Analytics collection and removes Google Analytics cookies accessible to this site. You can also clear all website data in your browser; this removes local simulator sessions and causes the privacy notice to appear again.
