The cookies Gambling Chiefs sets (Google Analytics only, after consent), their purpose, duration, and how to accept, reject or clear them in your browser.
Last updated:
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. We use them in only two ways: to remember your consent choice, and — only if you agree — to let Google Analytics measure traffic.
No analytics cookie is set unless you choose Accept all or enable Analytics in Customise. Rejecting means none of the analytics cookies below are ever written.
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration | When set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Analytics | Enables Google Analytics 4 to count a unique visitor | 2 years | Only if you accept analytics |
| _ga_<container-id> | Analytics | Maintains session state for GA4 | 2 years | Only if you accept analytics |
| gc_consent | Essential | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner stays dismissed | ~6 months | Always (cannot be disabled) |
We do not set advertising, retargeting, or third-party social cookies.
The consent banner appears on your first visit. You can Accept all, Reject all, or Customise to turn Analytics on or off independently. Your choice is remembered for about six months.
To change your mind later, clear the gc_consent entry from this site in your browser's localStorage, or open the site in a private window — the banner will reappear.
Every browser lets you view and delete cookies. Google's guides:
Blocking all cookies will not stop the site working — it only means the consent banner reappears each visit.
