1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit. They are stored in your browser and sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits. Cookies allow websites to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the site.

Cookies are widely used across the internet. Most modern websites would not function properly without them. You can control which cookies are set on your device - the options are explained in Section 5.

2. How We Use Cookies

Bet Orange uses cookies for four main purposes:

• To make the website function correctly (essential cookies)
• To remember your preferences between visits (preference cookies)
• To understand how visitors use the site and improve it (analytics cookies)
• To track referrals to the casino platform for affiliate commission (tracking cookies)

We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks.

When you click a link from this website to the casino platform, an affiliate tracking cookie is set.

5. Managing Cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

5.1 Via Our Cookie Banner

5.2 Via Your Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Instructions vary by browser:

Blocking all cookies will affect site functionality. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to operate and cannot be managed through our banner, only through browser settings.

5.3 Opt Out of Google Analytics

To prevent Google Analytics from tracking your visits across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This works in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari.
