Smokos Cookie Policy
How we use cookies across this site, and how you can manage them.
This Smokos cookie policy explains, in plain language, what cookies are, why our site uses them, and what choices you have over them. We keep this page focused purely on cookies — for anything about deposits, withdrawals or games, our payment methods page and our lobby are the right places to look.
We are a website first, and like almost every website you visit, we rely on small text files stored in your browser to make pages load correctly and to understand, in general terms, how our pages are used. Nothing on this page should be read as a description of any specific payment method, licence, bonus or account feature — those topics live on their own pages, and where we have not published a firm detail here, we simply do not state it.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a tiny piece of data that a website asks your browser to hold onto. It might remember that you were on this page a moment ago, or that you already dismissed a notice. Cookies do not, on their own, let a website reach into your device and take files, and they are not the same thing as a virus or a piece of malicious software.
Browsers treat first-party cookies, set directly by the site you are visiting, differently from third-party cookies, set by an outside service embedded in a page. Both kinds can appear on ordinary websites, including ours, and both can usually be inspected and removed through your browser's own settings at any time you choose.
Session Cookies Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies exist only while your browser tab is open and disappear the moment you close it. They are commonly used to keep a page working correctly as you move from one screen to the next, such as remembering your place partway through a form.
Persistent cookies, by contrast, are set to remain on your device for a defined period, sometimes days and sometimes much longer. Their job is usually to recognise a returning visitor, remember a stated preference, or support basic measurement of how a site's pages are being used over time.
Categories Of Cookies On A Typical Site
Cookies are commonly grouped into a small number of categories, and this grouping is a widely used industry convention rather than something unique to any one operator. Understanding the categories helps you decide, through your own browser controls, which kinds of cookies you are comfortable allowing.
- Strictly necessary cookies, which support core functions like page navigation and security.
- Preference cookies, which can remember choices such as a display setting.
- Analytics cookies, which help a site owner understand traffic patterns in aggregate.
- Third-party cookies, set by embedded tools rather than by the site itself.
Managing Cookies In Your Browser
Every modern browser gives you direct control over cookies, usually inside a privacy or security settings menu. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear cookies that have already been stored on your device.
Turning cookies off entirely can affect how some pages behave, since a handful of website functions rely on a cookie to remember your last action. If a page seems to behave oddly after you change a cookie setting, refreshing the page or clearing stored data for that site is usually enough to reset it.
Checking What Is Stored
Most browsers let you view a list of the cookies currently stored for a given site, along with when each one expires. This is a useful habit if you simply want to understand what is on your device, rather than relying on assumptions about any particular website.
We would rather point you toward your own browser's help documentation for exact steps, since these menus change from version to version and differ between desktop and mobile devices. That documentation is more reliable than a fixed set of instructions on any single website page.
Cookies And The Rest Of Our Site
Because this page is about cookies specifically, we keep commercial detail off it deliberately. If you are curious about how our mobile casino pages present themselves on a smaller screen, or how our live dealer section is laid out, those pages are the right starting point rather than this policy.
We do not use this cookie policy to describe deposit limits, withdrawal timing, licensing detail or any bonus structure, because none of those specifics belong on a page about cookies in the first place. Where a visitor is after that kind of detail, the honest answer is to visit the relevant section of our site directly, or to check the official source for the most current information.
Consent And Your Ongoing Choices
Where a cookie notice appears on our pages, it exists to let you make an informed choice before anything non-essential is stored. You are always free to change your mind later through your browser settings, without needing to contact anyone or fill out a form.
We treat this as an ongoing relationship rather than a one-off tick box. Your preferences can shift over time, and revisiting your browser's cookie settings periodically is a sensible habit regardless of which websites you use.
Do cookies let a website see my personal files?
No. A cookie is a small piece of text tied to your browser and a particular site; it cannot reach into your device, read your files, or install anything on its own.
Will blocking cookies break the Smokos site for me?
Some pages may behave slightly differently if cookies are blocked entirely, since a small number of website functions rely on them to remember a recent action. Most browsing, including reading our pages, will still work.
Where do I go to change my cookie settings?
Your own browser's privacy or settings menu is the place to view, block or delete cookies, and its help pages will have the exact steps for your particular browser and device.
Does this policy cover payments or bonuses too?
No, this page is limited to cookies specifically. For anything about how deposits work or what bonus types exist, our dedicated pages on those topics are the right place to look.
