Cookie Policy
You can read every page on Best Gambling Apps without clicking a cookie banner or creating an account. This page explains what the site uses, what operators set on their own sites, and how to control cookies on your phone.
What we use
- Private reading. The site sets no tracking or advertising cookies and does no profiling, so we do not follow you around the internet or build a picture of you. When we loaded our home page on an iPhone over a South African connection, it made no calls to Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook, Hotjar, TikTok or any of the other tracking services we checked for.
- Anonymous visits. No cookie is set to identify you, and with no account on this site there is nothing to identify you against.
- Ordinary technical files may be used to keep the site working, for example to serve pages quickly. They do not tell us who you are.
Cookies from other companies
- Operators set their own cookies on their own sites. When you click a link and land on a betting site, that company’s cookie policy applies, not ours.
- A commercial link may record that the visit came from here, so the operator knows where to send any fee if you open an account. Nothing personal travels with it, such as your name or email address, as our affiliate disclosure explains.
Controlling cookies yourself
- Every browser lets you block or delete cookies. On an iPhone, Apple’s steps are Settings, Apps, Safari, Advanced, then Block All Cookies. On an Android phone, look under privacy in your browser’s own settings menu.
- You can read this site with cookies blocked. No page asks you to sign in or fill in a form, because the site has no login, newsletter or contact form.
- Operator sites may need their cookies to log you in. Apple warns that with cookies blocked you will likely not be able to sign in to a site, so turn cookies back on if an operator’s login stops working.
Cookie policy FAQ
Why does a betting site show me a cookie banner?
The banner is the operator asking you to accept its own cookies. Betway’s says that by using Betway you agree to its cookie policy, and LottoStar shows a similar notice, so read the operator’s policy if you want to know what it stores.
Does clearing cookies touch my betting account?
Your balance, your bets and your FICA documents are held by the operator, not in the cookies on your phone, so clearing cookies leaves them as they are. Apple notes that clearing website data also removes the login details sites save, so expect to sign in to the operator’s site again in your browser afterwards.
Where can I read what else happens when I visit?
Our privacy policy covers the rest, including the records our web host keeps and what happens once you leave for an operator’s site.
Betting is for adults aged 18 and over. Our responsible gambling page lists free, confidential help if it stops being fun, including the National Responsible Gambling Programme on 0800 006 008, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
