What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember information about your visit — things like your preferences, your session status, or how you navigated through the pages. At Wazamba Casino, we take our responsibility to handle this data carefully and transparently. We use cookies only where they serve a genuine purpose, and we want you to understand exactly how they work on our site.
Why We Use Cookies at Wazamba Casino
There are several reasons why cookies are a core part of how our platform operates. Without them, many of the features you rely on simply would not function properly — and your experience would suffer as a result.
The most fundamental use is keeping you securely logged in. When you authenticate your account and start a session, a cookie holds that session data so you are not prompted to sign in repeatedly as you move between pages. This is not a convenience feature so much as a security one — it ensures that your account remains yours throughout your visit.
Cookies also allow us to remember your language and display settings. If you have chosen specific preferences, we store them so the site reflects your choices each time you return, without requiring you to reconfigure anything manually.
For gameplay specifically, cookies play an important role in maintaining uninterrupted sessions. When you are in the middle of a live blackjack round or a slot session, the site needs to maintain a consistent connection state. Cookies support that continuity so that brief navigation changes or page loads do not disrupt what you are doing.
In short, cookies underpin the reliability and security of the platform. We do not deploy them frivolously, and every category we use serves a defined function — which we explain in full below.
Types of Cookies We Deploy
We categorise the cookies on our site into four distinct types. Understanding each one gives you a clearer picture of what is being collected and why.
- Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are non-negotiable for the site to function. They manage your login session, protect against cross-site request forgery, and ensure that security protocols remain active during your visit. Without these, you would not be able to stay logged in, and basic account functions would break. These cookies cannot be disabled through our preferences tool without affecting site usability.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how players interact with the site — which pages are visited most, where users tend to drop off, and how quickly pages load. We use this data to identify and resolve technical issues, and to make informed decisions about improving the platform. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- Functionality Cookies: Once you have set preferences — such as your chosen language, display options, or saved settings — functionality cookies remember those choices. This means the site behaves the way you expect it to each time you visit, without requiring you to repeat your selections.
- Targeting / Advertising Cookies: These cookies allow us to show you offers and promotions that are relevant to your account activity and interests. Rather than displaying generic messages, we can tailor bonus communications to be genuinely useful. You can opt out of these without affecting your ability to use the casino.
Third-Party Cookies in iGaming
Not all cookies on the Wazamba Casino platform originate from us directly. Some are placed by trusted third parties whose services are integral to how the site operates.
Our game providers need to set their own cookies in order to deliver games — including our video poker titles and live dealer options such as live blackjack, live roulette, and live baccarat — smoothly and without interruption. These cookies typically manage the game state, handle connection stability, and ensure that your session within any given title is consistent. Without them, game performance would be unreliable.
Our payment partners also use cookies as part of their fraud prevention and transaction verification processes. When you make a deposit or withdrawal using Visa, Mastercard, or bank transfer, the relevant gateway may place a short-lived cookie to validate the transaction and confirm that the request is legitimate. This is standard practice across the payments industry and is designed to protect you.
We only work with third-party providers we have vetted for data handling practices. Each partner is contractually required to handle any data collected through their cookies in accordance with applicable privacy regulations. If you would like more detail about specific third-party data processors, our Privacy Policy contains further information.
Read our full Privacy Policy for a complete overview of how third-party data is managed.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
You have meaningful control over which cookies are active on your device, and we make it straightforward to exercise that control.
When you first visit Wazamba Casino, a cookie consent banner will appear. From there, you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customise your preferences by category. You can revisit and adjust these choices at any time through the cookie settings option available on the site.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser. Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or clear all cookies at once
- Block cookies from specific sites or third parties
- Set preferences for future sessions
Instructions for doing this vary by browser, but are typically found under Settings > Privacy or Settings > Security. Refer to your browser's help documentation for precise steps.
One important note: if you block or delete essential cookies, core site functionality will be affected. You may find that you cannot stay logged in, that security checks fail, or that certain pages do not load correctly. We recommend only blocking non-essential cookies if you want to avoid disrupting your experience.
Policy Updates and How to Contact Us
This cookie policy is reviewed periodically to ensure it reflects our current practices and any changes in applicable regulations, including UK data protection law. When we make material updates, we will notify you through the site — typically via the cookie consent banner or a site notice — so you are always aware of what applies.
We encourage you to check back occasionally, particularly if you have questions about how your data is handled.
