Cookie Policy
We use a small number of cookies and browser storage mechanisms to run ard1sco.com.
This Cookie Policy describes how ard1sco.com (the "Site") uses cookies and similar technologies in your browser or device when you visit pages, interact with consent tools, or use features that rely on local storage. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy. Capitalised terms used here have the meanings given in data protection law where applicable.
Strictly necessary technologies are used to deliver core functionality that you would reasonably expect when loading a secure website. Examples include remembering that you confirmed you are aged 18 or over in the age gate modal, and remembering whether you accepted or declined optional cookies in the cookie banner. Without these mechanisms the Site would repeatedly show the same prompts, which would degrade usability and could frustrate safer navigation patterns.
The Site does not load third-party advertising pixels, social plug-ins that track logged-in profiles, or cross-site analytics dashboards that build behavioural segments across unrelated publishers, as part of the default configuration described in this policy. If that stance changes, this policy will be updated, the cookie banner will be revised to list new purposes and retention, and where consent is required you will be asked to opt in before non-essential technologies activate.
Similar technologies include HTML5 local storage and session storage entries written when you click Accept or Decline on the cookie banner, and when you confirm your age. These entries typically persist until you clear site data in your browser or until they expire according to the key names implemented in the Site’s scripts. You can inspect or delete them using developer tools or browser privacy settings; deletion may reset preferences and cause banners to reappear.
Analytics cookies, if introduced in a future release, would be used only to measure aggregate traffic such as page views, scroll depth on long guides, and broken links. Any future implementation would avoid collecting precise gambling transaction data from operator sites because the Site does not host those transactions. IP addresses might be truncated at collection or shortly afterwards to reduce identifiability, depending on the analytics product configuration.
Marketing cookies, if introduced, would remember that you clicked a specific outbound offer link so that duplicate commission reporting can be reconciled, or to cap the frequency of creative variants you see when returning to the Site. Such cookies would not replace the operator’s own marketing consent for email or SMS, which you provide separately on the operator’s registration journey.
Browser controls allow you to block or delete cookies globally or per site. Blocking strictly necessary storage may prevent the age gate or cookie banner from functioning correctly and could block access to parts of the Site until you adjust settings. Private browsing modes may discard storage at the end of a session, which can cause prompts to return more frequently.
Some embedded resources such as images may be served from the same hostname as the Site or from a content delivery configuration operated by the hosting provider. Requests for images send standard HTTP headers similar to page loads. If you disable images, layouts may degrade but textual safer-gambling information should remain readable where technically feasible.
Children under 18 must not use the Site. The Site does not knowingly solicit data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact info@ard1sco.com so we can delete what we control and advise on appropriate safeguarding steps. Gambling is an adult activity regulated strictly in Great Britain.
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in browser capabilities, regulatory guidance from the ICO or Advertising Standards Authority, or new Site features. Updates will be posted on this page. You should review the policy periodically, especially after clearing cookies, changing devices, or updating your browser.
