What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device when you visit. Cookies allow the site to remember things about your visit — like whether you have already confirmed your age, or accepted the cookie banner — so that the experience works smoothly the next time you come back.
The two categories we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are required for the site to work. They cannot be turned off without breaking core functionality. They are stored locally in your browser and contain no personally identifiable information.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how readers use the site in aggregate — which reviews are most read, where readers come from, and how the site performs on different devices. We only set them if you accept them in our cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser storage.

Affiliate tracking
When you click an outbound link to a casino operator, the receiving site may set its own cookies and use a unique tracking parameter (a utm_source value) to associate your visit with the click. We do not control those cookies — please consult the operator's own cookie policy. The fact of the click is logged on our side as part of standard affiliate reporting.
How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in three ways:
- On Markix: the cookie banner on first visit lets you accept or reject analytics. You can change your choice by clearing site storage in your browser.
- In your browser settings: all major browsers let you block or delete cookies for a specific site or globally:
Do Not Track
If your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal, we treat it as a signal not to set analytics cookies, in addition to your explicit choice in the cookie banner.
Right to complain
If you believe we have used cookies in a way that breaches your rights, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by phone on 0303 123 1113.
Updates
We will update this page when our cookie use changes. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.
