The coded system for collecting this information is known as a Cookie. You will see a pop up that prompts you to accept cookies when you visit our site for the first time. If you do so, you agree with everything stated in this document.

Who do we share your data with?

We strive to keep your personal data protected, but there may be instances where your personal data will be shared with third-party sites or companies. These instances include:

When we have received your consent, your personal data may also be used to offer you services based on your direct interests.

Steps to limit direct marketing are taken to ensure that you are inundated with communications from us or our partners unnecessarily.

Restriction – If you’d prefer that we restrict the use of your personal data, you may make the request if the information is inaccurate, it has been unlawfully processed, or it is no longer needed for legal purposes.

Objection – You may object to our retaining your personal data if you believe that our legal interests are outweighed by your fundamental rights and freedoms. In response, we will have the right to demonstrate the importance of our legitimate interests.

2. What is a Cookie and What Does the Cookie Do?

A Cookie is a small safe text file which is saved to your computer by a website that you have visited. Since it contains plain text that tells the website that saved it what you liked and didn’t like it helps websites optimise your page load and remember any preferences you set during the previous visit.

Some of the things a Cookie will remember for you include your background settings, language preferences, whether or not you had items in a shopping cart, which time-zone you selected and more. These are all super useful, and we all benefit from them every day!

A Cookie does not contain any computer code, so it does not allow a website any access to your computer or any access to your personal information, making it safe and trustworthy.

Cookies can be used to offer push notification. To make use of these notifications, it will be necessary for you to allow Cookies on your browser. Not accepting Cookies will block this service.

Listed below are the different types of cookies that may be found on this site.

4. Securing Your Information through SSL!

You will see that the CasinoWow website domain begins with ‘https’ versus other sites you may visit which only show ‘HTTP’.

Websites that are secured using Secure Socket Layers (SSL) are the only ones that will show you the additional ‘s’. The inclusion of that one additional ‘s’ is the difference between browsing with peace of mind or being concerned that your browsing is not secure.

The security technology behind SSL allows for a website to make a secure connection to your computer or mobile browser when surfing the net. If you use a service like Gmail, you will see that an SSL certificate also protects them.

The 5 Steps to Safe SSL Browsing:

1. Your browser – you visit a website, and your browser sends a request for the site to identify itself.
   
   
2. The site – the website server assigns your browser its SSL certificate information.
   
   
3. Your browser – it then checks that SSL information against known and trusted databases to make it's legit and trustworthy. If so, it sends it an encrypted link.
   
   
4. The site – the server deciphers the encrypted link your browser sends and opens a secure channel with your browser.
   
   
5. The conversation – your browser and the website you’ve connected to share information in a safe and secure channel giving you peace of mind.

And all of this magic happens in the millisecond between you clicking on the CasinoWow link and the website loading so you can access top-quality gambling information!

5. No Under 18’s Allowed!

None of the information on CasinoWow is targeted at, or appropriate for, users under the age of 18, irrespective of country.

Once we have received notification that any of the information we have gathered was shared by a minor, said the information would be removed from our databases within an acceptable timeframe.

We reserve the right to require that the person making such a claim furnish proof that a minor is involved for compliance and record-keeping purposes.
