So, What Exactly Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. It doesn't carry viruses and it can't run programs. What it can do is remember things — like whether you've visited before, what language you prefer, or whether you were already logged in.
Without cookies, every visit to a website would start completely from scratch. You'd have to re-enter information every single time. Cookies are what make a website feel like it knows you.
Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | What It Does | How Long It Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Keep core functions of the site running. Without these, parts of the site simply won't work. | Session or short-term |
| Functional Cookies | Remember your preferences — things like language selection or display settings. | Varies (usually weeks) |
| Analytics Cookies | Help us understand how visitors move through the site so we can spot problems and improve things. | Up to 12 months |
| Marketing Cookies | Used to show relevant content and offers based on pages you've visited. | Up to 90 days |
Why We Rely on Cookies
Some cookies aren't optional — they're what allow our services to function properly. Others exist to make your experience less repetitive and more relevant. Here's a practical breakdown:
- Recognising your device when you return to the site
- Keeping your session active while you're using our services
- Saving your language and display preferences
- Identifying technical issues before they affect more users
- Measuring which features are actually useful versus which ones go unnoticed
We don't use cookies to collect personal details beyond what's needed for the site to function and for us to improve it.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on bohocasinoie.com come from third-party tools we've integrated — things like analytics platforms or content delivery services. These providers have their own privacy policies, and we'd encourage you to check those if you want full visibility into how those cookies operate independently of us.
We select these tools carefully, but once data leaves our site and enters a third-party system, that provider's own rules apply.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're not stuck with the default settings. Most modern browsers let you control cookies directly — you can block them, delete them, or get a prompt each time one is about to be set. Here's how to find those options in common browsers:
- Open your browser settings or preferences
- Look for a section labelled "Privacy", "Security", or "Cookies"
- Choose whether to allow all cookies, only essential ones, or none at all
- Save your changes — they apply immediately
One thing worth knowing: if you block essential cookies, some parts of the site may stop working correctly. Login functions, saved settings, and similar features depend on them.
Consent
When you first visit bohocasinoie.com, you'll see a notice about cookies. By continuing to use the site, you're agreeing to the use of cookies as described here. If you change your mind later, your browser settings are always there to adjust things.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cookies store my personal information?
Not directly. Cookies store identifiers and preferences — not your name, contact details, or anything of that nature on their own. Any personal information you provide through the site is handled separately, under our Privacy Policy.
Will deleting cookies log me out?
Yes, in most cases. Session and login cookies are what keep you connected while using the site. Deleting them will end your active session and you'll need to sign in again.
Do cookies slow down my device?
No. Cookie files are tiny — typically just a few kilobytes. They have no noticeable effect on your device's performance.
Can I use the site without accepting cookies?
You can browse some areas, but essential cookies are required for the full experience. Blocking them may prevent certain features from loading correctly.
