Covering casinos that hold British licences alongside those outside GamStop, and the instant withdrawal claims made for 2026, playinsideruk.com serves readers in Great Britain with the help of very few technical tools. This policy sets out which cookies and comparable technologies operate on the site, what purpose each serves, and how they can be refused or changed. Cookies are small text files that a browser stores on a device; entries in the browser's local and session storage and counting pixels work in much the same way.
Strictly necessary files
Without them the site could not work reliably. They hold a session open, distribute load across servers, guard forms against abuse and remember the cookie choice itself. They are set without a separate choice. Session files expire when the browser is closed, and the stored choice is kept for no more than twelve months.
Legal basis
The governing rule is regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR): storing information on a user's device, or gaining access to information already stored there, requires clear and comprehensive information and the user's consent, except where the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has requested. That consent must meet the standard of the UK GDPR (Article 4(11) and Article 7): freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and as easy to withdraw as to give. Where cookies are used to process personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply as well.
Third-party files
Outside services that are embedded, such as videos or maps, may set files of their own. The privacy rules of the provider then apply too, and an objection to them is raised with that provider. Advertising cookies that build profiles for personalised ads are not set by playinsideruk.com without a clear choice in the consent banner.
Functional and analytics files
Functional files remember settings such as the comparison tables opened last. Analytics files count page views and show which pages are read, so that the content can be improved. Both groups are set only after consent has been given in the cookie banner. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and profiles that follow behaviour across different sites are not built.
Refusing and changing consent
Through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time; withdrawal works for the future and does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing. Every browser also lets its user block and delete cookies in its privacy settings, and the manufacturer's help pages describe the steps for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Once the necessary files are deleted the banner appears again, and some features may stop working for a short time.
Supervision
A complaint about the handling of personal data can be made to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority. How personal data is processed is described in the privacy policy of this site.
