01Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Golden Nugget Online Gaming (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on goldennuggelcasino.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly, and our Terms and Conditions.
When you first visit the site, a banner asks for your choice. Essential cookies are set because the site cannot work without them; every other category stays off until you accept it.
02What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember information between pages and visits — for example, that you are logged in or that you have already confirmed your age. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in a comparable way, and this policy covers them too.
Cookies set by us are “first-party” cookies. Cookies set by another company through our site are “third-party” cookies. Some cookies expire when you close the browser (session cookies); others stay for a set period (persistent cookies).
03Essential Cookies
These cookies are needed for security, account access and legal compliance. They cannot be switched off in our settings, although you can block them in your browser — parts of the site will then stop working.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| gnc_session | Keeps you signed in and protects forms against cross-site request forgery. | Session |
| age_ok | Records that you confirmed you are 18 or older. | 12 months |
| age_no | Keeps gaming content closed after a visitor states they are under 18. | 30 days |
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear and optional scripts stay off unless you allowed them. | 6 months |
| gnog_session_start (session storage) | Remembers when you signed in, so the reality-check reminder can tell you how long you have been playing. | Until the tab is closed |
04Functional Cookies
Functional cookies would remember optional display preferences between visits. We do not currently set any functional cookies. Your favourite games and responsible gambling settings are saved in your account on our servers, not in cookies. If we add functional cookies, they will be listed here before use and set only if you allow the “Functional” category.
05Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies would tell us how pages are used, how fast they load and where errors happen, in aggregated form. We do not currently run any analytics service or analytics cookies. Our servers keep standard technical logs for security, as described in the Privacy Policy. If we add an analytics tool, it will be listed here and load only if you allow the “Analytics” category.
06Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies would measure advertising campaigns. We do not currently use marketing cookies, advertising pixels or retargeting. If we ever do, they will only load with your consent, never for self-excluded players or anyone under 18, and in line with AGLC advertising standards.
How your choice is enforced. Any optional script on this site is held back in the page and activated only when its category is in your saved choice. Choosing “Reject Optional” or switching a category off in Cookie Settings keeps those scripts from running at all — on every page, because your choice is stored in the cookie_consent cookie and read on each page load.
07Third-Party Cookies
Some features are provided by partners, such as game studios that stream live dealer tables or payment providers that process transactions. These features open only when you start a game or a payment. The provider may then set its own cookies, which are governed by its own privacy and cookie policies. We only work with providers that meet the security and data-protection requirements described in our Privacy Policy.
08Cookie Retention
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for the period shown in the table above or set by the third party, and are then removed automatically. You can delete cookies earlier at any time through your browser settings.
09Managing Preferences
You can change your choice at any time with the button below or the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page. Your new settings are saved in the cookie_consent cookie, apply from the moment you save them and stay the same as you move between pages; withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before.
Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies. Look for “Privacy” or “Cookies” in the settings of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in.
