Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on Plaquemines Casino Guide, what they do, and how you can control them. For broader information about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies let the site remember things about you between visits — language preferences, login state, items in a cart, whether you've dismissed a notification, and so on. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by another service the site embeds, like an analytics provider or an embedded video).
The same technology category also includes things that aren't strictly cookies but behave similarly — local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and similar identifiers. This policy covers all of them.
The cookies we currently use
Plaquemines Casino Guide is a deliberately lightweight site. As of the effective date of this policy, the cookies set on our domain are:
| Cookie / storage item | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | First-party (Cloudflare) | Bot management — distinguishes humans from automated traffic to protect site reliability. Strictly necessary. |
| cf_clearance | First-party (Cloudflare) | Records that a visitor has completed a security challenge (e.g., suspected bot traffic). Strictly necessary. |
| cookie_consent | First-party | Records your consent choice for optional cookies, so we don't show you the banner repeatedly. |
That's the entire current list. We do not currently run an analytics platform, an advertising-network pixel, or any third-party tracking. If we add any optional cookies in the future, this page will be updated with a new effective date and our consent banner will request fresh consent before any optional cookie is set.
Cookies the casinos we link to may set
When you click an outbound affiliate link to a casino, you are leaving our Site and arriving at the operator's site. The operator's site will set its own cookies under its own privacy and cookie policies. We are not responsible for those cookies and we cannot control them.
The affiliate-tracking systems used by the casinos (CommissionKings, BetOnline Affiliates, the RTG-family network) generally set a cookie on the operator's domain that records you arrived from our sub-ID. That cookie is on the operator's domain, not ours.
How to control cookies
On our Site
If we add optional cookies in the future, you will be asked for consent the first time you visit, and you can change your preference at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer (we will add it then).
In your browser
All modern browsers let you control cookies. The relevant settings are usually under "Privacy and Security":
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Block all cookies / Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking strictly-necessary cookies (Cloudflare's bot-management cookies) may cause parts of the Site to load more slowly or to ask you to complete a security challenge. Blocking the consent cookie means you may see our consent banner on every visit.
Do Not Track
If your browser sends a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal, we treat that as a withdrawal of consent for optional cookies. No optional cookie will be set on a session where DNT is enabled, regardless of whether you've used our consent banner.
Changes to this policy
If our cookie usage changes — for example, if we add an analytics provider or an embedded service — this page will be updated with a new effective date, and our consent banner will request fresh consent before the new cookie is set.
