1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels and device identifiers. They are commonly used to remember actions, support site functions, measure usage and tailor content or advertising. On Richs8Lab, cookies are used in a restrained way because the site is an editorial comparison platform rather than a logged-in casino service.
Some storage tools disappear when you close the browser, while others remain until a set expiry date or until you remove them yourself.
2. Essential storage on this site
Richs8Lab uses local storage items to remember age confirmation and cookie choices. These settings help us avoid repeatedly showing the same prompts during ordinary browsing. They support the practical operation of the site and are treated as essential for that purpose. If you clear browser storage, the prompts may appear again the next time you visit.
Essential technologies may also be used for security, load management and troubleshooting where reasonably necessary.
3. Performance and insight tools
We may use analytics or measurement technologies to understand how visitors reach Richs8Lab, which pages are read most often and where navigation may be confusing. This helps us improve editorial layout, technical performance and the usefulness of our reviews. We aim to use aggregated reporting where possible rather than highly intrusive tracking.
Where consent is required for these tools, we rely on your banner choice before enabling them. Declining non-essential cookies should not prevent you from reading most of the site.
4. Affiliate and third-party technologies
When you click an affiliate link, a third-party platform may place or read a tracking identifier so that a referral can be attributed. This is a standard part of affiliate reporting. It helps us understand whether a visitor clicked through to a partner after reading our content. These technologies are controlled by the relevant third party as well as by our site configuration, depending on the arrangement in place.
Third-party services may also have their own privacy and cookie notices. You should review those separately if you want detail about how they process information after you leave Richs8Lab.
5. Local storage and web beacons
In addition to cookies, Richs8Lab uses local storage to keep simple preference values on your device. This can be more convenient than storing the same information in a standard cookie. We may also use lightweight beacon-style technologies in aggregate measurement tools where they support reporting, security or service diagnostics.
These tools are part of normal modern web operation, but we still aim to explain them plainly rather than hide them behind technical shorthand.
6. Managing your choices
You can manage cookies through the banner shown on Richs8Lab and through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, clear local storage and control site-by-site permissions. The exact route depends on the browser you use. Removing all storage may reset site preferences and can affect how certain features behave on future visits.
If you use several browsers or devices, you may need to update your choice in each environment separately.
7. Consent and withdrawal
Where non-essential cookies require consent, we rely on the choice you make through the banner. You may withdraw consent later by clearing the relevant storage and revisiting the site, or by adjusting your browser controls. Essential functions related to age confirmation and core site operation may continue to use necessary storage even if non-essential cookies are declined.
Cookie preference handling does not affect your ability to leave the site and use external safer gambling resources.
8. Updates and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law or the way Richs8Lab operates. The current version will always appear on this page. Questions about cookies, local storage or tracking choices can be sent to dataprotection@richs8lab.com.
