Cookie Classification

Strictly necessary cookies - These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Note. Blocking these cookies will prevent registration/authentication to the site and will make some content/functions unavailable

Performance cookies - These cookies collect information about how customers use a website, for instance which pages customers go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identify a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Functionality cookies - These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make such as your username, language or the region you are in and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching videos or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Targeting/advertising cookies - These cookies record your visit, the pages you have visited, the games you have played, the financial transactions you have made, and your general behaviour on the Website. These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of time you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed or received by you more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose who assist us in analytics.

Third Party Cookies

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies. The table below identifies those cookies that are third party cookies.

An example of a third-party website that may use cookies on our site are our suppliers of Games. We feature games on our site that are provided by third parties. Therefore you may receive a cookie from the third party whilst playing their games. Furthermore, if you use any of our ‘Share’ tools to share our content outside our sites (such as with Facebook), you may be sent cookies from these websites.

We don't control the setting of these cookies, so it is recommended to check the third-party website for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
