Cookie Policy
Cookie and Tracking: Technologies Policy

A cookie is a small file of text data that a website sends to your browser when you visit it. Your browser stores that file locally on your device and may include it in later requests to the same site, which is how a site recognizes a returning reader or reapplies a setting saved earlier. Cookies hold data and nothing more: they cannot run programs, read other files on your device, or transmit software of any kind. Wherever this Policy says “cookies”, the term also takes in browser local storage and pixel tags, unless the surrounding context calls for a narrower distinction.

On your first visit a consent banner is presented, offering three clearly differentiated options: accept every non-essential cookie category, decline every non-essential category, or open a granular preference panel and decide category by category. Browse without making a selection and only strictly necessary cookies are placed – browsing activity in the absence of a consent selection is never read as implied consent for non-essential cookies.

Your preference is recorded in a preference cookie. Clearing all cookies from your browser deletes that record along with the rest, so the consent banner will reappear on your next visit simply because nothing remains of your prior selection. Any new category of non-essential cookie we introduce in future will always require a fresh consent decision before it is activated.

The preference panel is technically functional, not cosmetic. Decline a category and cookies in that category are genuinely not placed on your device, during that visit and on subsequent visits, until your preference changes. Granular category-level combinations are entirely valid: accepting performance analytics while declining affiliate referral cookies is a supported configuration, as is any other mix.

Some cookies on this Site are placed by third-party tools we have integrated, currently and principally Google Analytics, which operates under its own data processing agreement with us. No advertising network, retargeting service, data broker or comparable third party has been permitted to place 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 of any description.

Once an affiliate referral cookie has been set and you navigate to a casino, our ability to observe your activity ends entirely. Your Aviamasters sessions, the counter values produced by each round, the tokens that appeared in each sequence and your account balance are all processed on the casino’s own infrastructure; none of it is transmitted to, accessible by, or stored by this Site in any way. The only later information that reaches us is a commission eligibility signal from the casino’s own affiliate reporting system if a qualifying deposit occurs, and that signal carries no personal data about you.

The Data Visibility Boundary

There is no live, persistent or intermittent data connection between this Site and any casino platform. The affiliate referral cookie records exactly one event – a click – at the precise moment of navigation. Everything after that click, which is to say everything that constitutes the Aviamasters session experience, from counter sequences and token appearances through to round resolutions and account balance, is processed on the casino’s own infrastructure and is not accessible to this Site by any means.

Aviamasters concludes every round automatically through the counter system, with no cashout action from the player, so there is no cashout event that any tracking mechanism on this Site could capture even hypothetically. The counter sequence runs on casino infrastructure and generates its outcome there. Our data visibility as a Site operator ends definitively at the click the affiliate tracking cookie records, and any question about specific counter values, specific token sequences or specific round outcomes belongs with the casino that operated those sessions.

Three mechanisms are available for managing cookies on this Site. The first is our on-site preference panel, shown on your first visit and reachable at any later moment through the link in the Site footer; it provides category-level control over non-essential cookies. The second is your browser’s native privacy settings, which let you block or delete cookies across every site you visit. The third applies specifically to Google Analytics: Google’s dedicated browser opt-out extension, published at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Each browser files these controls in a slightly different place. In Chrome, go to Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, go to Settings, then Privacy & Security. In Safari, go to Preferences, then Privacy. In Microsoft Edge, go to Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.

Declining non-essential cookies has no effect on your ability to read any Aviamasters article or casino comparison material on this Site. It may reduce certain personalization features, and it means that if you subsequently register at a partner casino we will be unable to associate that registration with a referral from this Site for commission purposes. That is an accepted consequence of respecting user preferences.

Control is exercised category by category through the preference panel rather than as a single all-or-nothing switch. Accepting performance analytics while declining affiliate referral cookies is a fully supported combination, and you are never pushed into taking or refusing everything at once.

Google Analytics in our configuration anonymizes IP addresses prior to any data storage. What we access is aggregate statistics about content engagement patterns across all visitors – not individual-level records – and that output does not enable the identification or tracking of any specific reader.

A Note on Blocking Necessary Cookies

If you use browser-level settings to block all cookies, necessary ones included, the consent preference tool is likely to malfunction, because it has nowhere to store the record of your preference choice. The most common outcome is the consent banner reappearing on each page visit rather than recognizing your prior selection. Managing non-essential cookies at category level through the on-site panel avoids that issue, since it leaves necessary cookies – the preference cookie among them – intact.

Where any cookie on this Site processes data that constitutes personal data under applicable data protection law, our Personal Data and Privacy Statement governs that processing, including the applicable legal basis, the applicable retention period, and all relevant rights. Performance and analytics cookies in our configuration anonymize IP addresses before any data is recorded, while affiliate referral cookies capture click events and timestamps and no personal identifiers at all.

We review our use of third-party tools periodically and update this Policy to reflect any material change in how those tools handle data, so that the description here continues to match what actually runs on the Site.

We update this Policy when our use of cookies changes in any material respect, including when we change the third-party tools we integrate or when an integrated tool changes its own data handling practices. The current version is always published on this page, carrying a new effective date.
