Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how elespinazodelanoche.com (the “Site”) uses cookies, local storage, pixel tags, and similar technologies (together, “cookies”) when you visit our pages. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data is processed more broadly. We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) as interpreted in the United Kingdom and with applicable guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office regarding consent, transparency, and legitimate interests.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files or equivalent storage entries placed on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit a website. First-party cookies are set by the Site’s domain; third-party cookies are set by another domain, such as an analytics or advertising partner. Similar technologies include HTML5 local storage, session storage, and software development kits embedded in content. Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (remaining until they expire or you delete them). They often carry a unique identifier that allows servers to recognise repeat visits, remember preferences, or measure performance.
How we use cookies on this Site
We group cookies into the following categories: (1) Strictly necessary cookies required to deliver pages securely, balance load, prevent fraud, and remember essential preferences such as cookie consent status where mandated by regulation—these are deployed based on our legitimate interests and legal obligations; (2) Functional cookies that remember choices you make (for example, dismissing informational banners or storing age-gate outcomes for the browsing session)—these may rely on consent or legitimate interests depending on their intrusiveness; (3) Performance and analytics cookies that collect aggregated statistics on page views, navigation paths, and referral sources to improve editorial planning and technical reliability—non-essential analytics cookies are used only after you consent via our banner where PECR requires it; (4) Affiliate attribution cookies or storage entries that help us report referrals to partner programmes when you click outbound promotional links—such technologies may be first- or third-party and are subject to the partner’s documentation as well as our disclosures.
Third-party cookies and embedded content
Where we embed videos, maps, or social sharing tools, the provider may set its own cookies even if you do not click away from the Site. Outbound links to licensed gambling operators may cause multiple redirects and cookie writes used for compliance, fraud prevention, and marketing measurement. We do not control those technologies. You should review each operator’s cookie notice before creating an account or depositing funds. Browser tracking prevention features may block some third-party cookies automatically.
Storage periods
Session cookies generally expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies carry expiry dates set by us or our suppliers, which can range from twenty-four hours to twenty-four months or longer for fraud-prevention or consent logs. Local storage entries used for age verification may persist until you clear site data. Analytics platforms typically reset identifiers on a rolling calendar unless you reset your client ID. We periodically review retention settings to ensure they remain proportionate.
Consent and legitimate interests
When UK law requires prior consent for non-essential cookies, we display a banner allowing you to accept or reject categories that are not strictly necessary. Accepting enables the associated scripts to run; rejecting limits the Site to essential operations, which may reduce personalisation or measurement accuracy. You may change your mind by clearing cookies and revisiting the Site, or by using browser controls described below. Where we rely on legitimate interests for low-risk, first-party security or audience measurement compatible with regulatory guidance, we have documented a balancing test and offer an easy way to object where feasible.
How to manage or disable cookies
Most browsers let you block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you before a cookie is stored. Mobile operating systems provide parallel settings for in-app browsers. Industry opt-out pages exist for some advertising networks, though they may not cover every technology we encounter. Blocking all cookies can impair features such as session continuity or consent memory. If you use private browsing mode, cookies may be discarded at the end of each session, causing banners to reappear.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may amend this Cookie Policy when we introduce new tools, change suppliers, or respond to regulatory developments. The “Last updated” date will change accordingly, and significant revisions may be highlighted on the Site. Continued use after updates constitutes acknowledgement of the revised notice where permitted by law.
