What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Each cookie contains a name, a value, and an expiry date. Your browser stores these files locally so the site can recognise you on return visits and remember choices you have made.
Some cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser. These are session cookies. Others stick around for weeks or months; those are persistent cookies. Demo Slot Kings uses both types.
Cookies cannot install software or access other data on your device. They hold small pieces of information, nothing more.
Cookies We Use
Demo Slot Kings uses a limited set of cookies. Some keep the site working, some help us understand traffic patterns, and a couple store your preferences. The tables below list every cookie you may encounter on this site.
Essential Cookies
Without these, basic features would break. Essential cookies handle things like remembering your consent choice and keeping your session alive as you move between pages. We do not need your consent to set them because the site cannot function without them.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Records whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Keeps your browsing session intact across page loads | Session |
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies collect anonymous data about how people use Demo Slot Kings: which pages get the most visits, how long readers spend on reviews, where traffic arrives from. We use that data to improve the site. No personally identifiable information is gathered through these cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4: maintains session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics: identifies a visitor within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics: throttles request rate | 1 minute |
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies store settings you have chosen so you do not need to set them again next time. If you pick a display option or close a notification banner, a preference cookie remembers that.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme_pref | Stores your display or layout preference | 6 months |
| dismissed_banners | Tracks which notification banners you have closed | 30 days |
Third-Party Cookies
Some features on Demo Slot Kings load resources from external services, and those services may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control what those cookies contain or how long they last.
We use Google Analytics to measure site traffic. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. IP anonymisation is turned on, so your full IP address is never stored by Google on our behalf.
Free-to-play slot demos are loaded from game provider servers, including studios like NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, and Play'n GO. When you launch a demo, the provider's embed may set cookies to manage the game session or remember your in-game settings. Each provider has its own cookie practices.
A few pages contain affiliate links that pass through tracking platforms. Those platforms may place a cookie to record the referral. Affiliate tracking on Demo Slot Kings is limited to the click event and the referring page; we do not allow third parties to build browsing profiles through our site.
How to Manage Cookies
Every modern browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies. The steps vary slightly by browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
You can also tell your browser to block all cookies or to warn you before one is set. Blocking everything will affect many websites, not just ours. A more practical option is to allow essential cookies while clearing analytics and preference cookies periodically.
Consent
When you first visit Demo Slot Kings, a cookie banner asks whether you accept non-essential cookies. You can accept all cookies, decline non-essential ones, or close the banner to continue with essential cookies only.
Your choice is saved in the cookie_consent cookie so the banner does not reappear on every page. Changed your mind? Clear your cookies through your browser settings and the banner will show up again on your next visit.
Essential cookies are set regardless of your choice because they are strictly necessary. UK data protection law permits this under the "strictly necessary" exemption in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Blocking or deleting cookies will not lock you out of Demo Slot Kings, but a few things will stop working properly:
- Your consent preference will not be saved, so the cookie banner will appear on every visit.
- Display settings and dismissed banners will reset each time you come back.
- Demo games loaded from third-party providers may fail to start or lose session data mid-play.
- Anonymous analytics will stop collecting, which means we lose the data we use to improve the site.
None of that affects our slot reviews themselves. You can still read every page with cookies fully disabled; the experience will just be less personalised.
Your Rights Under UK Law
UK GDPR and PECR give you several rights over how your data is collected and processed through cookies:
- Right to be informed – you are entitled to clear information about which cookies we set and why. We aim to cover that here.
- Right to withdraw consent – you can revoke consent to non-essential cookies at any time by clearing them in your browser.
- Right of access – you may request a copy of any personal data we hold that was collected via cookies.
- Right to erasure – you can ask us to delete personal data collected through cookies, and we will comply unless a legal obligation requires us to keep it.
For more detail on your broader data protection rights, see our Privacy Policy. To exercise any of these rights, get in touch through our contact page and we will respond within 30 days.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features, switch analytics tools, or change how we work with third parties. Updates take effect as soon as they are published here. We will not send individual notifications for minor edits, so it is worth checking this page occasionally.
If a major change affects how we handle your data, we will do our best to let you know, whether that means posting a site notice or resetting the consent banner so you can review your options again.
