This page explains how captain-marlin.uk uses cookies while covering Captainmarlin casino and sportsbook for UK readers. We are an independent information portal, not the operator, and the cookies described here belong to this site alone – not to any account you might hold with Captainmarlin itself. If you came here looking for how the operator's own site uses cookies, that is a separate question we cannot answer on its behalf.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a website. It lets a site remember things between page loads – that you've seen a notice, which pages you found useful, or how you arrived here. Nothing sinister: no cookie on this portal can read your files or turn on a camera, and none of them can access anything held by Captainmarlin's own platform.
We group our cookies into a few practical categories rather than listing dozens of individual files, since the effect on you is what matters.
- Necessary cookies – keep the site functioning: navigation, security, remembering your cookie choice itself.
- Analytics cookies – tell us, in aggregate, which pages are read and which aren't, so we can improve the content. Set only with consent.
- Marketing and advertising cookies – support any affiliate links or adverts on the site. Also consent-based.
- Preference cookies – remember small choices, such as a display setting, from one visit to the next.
What is stored and for how long
Necessary cookies typically last for your browsing session or a short period afterwards. Analytics and marketing cookies can persist for longer – commonly up to two years – unless you clear them sooner. We don't store payment details, passwords or anything related to a Captainmarlin account inside a cookie; that information, if it exists at all, sits with the operator's own platform.
Embedded third parties
Some elements on this portal – analytics tools, or embedded content such as a video or map – can set their own cookies once they load in your browser. We don't control what those third parties do with the data their scripts collect; their own cookie and privacy notices govern that, not this one. Where a third-party script isn't essential to the page working, it will only run once you've given consent.
Declining without breaking the site
You can decline non-essential cookies from the banner shown on your first visit, or change your mind later by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting. In practice: refusing analytics or marketing cookies won't stop you reading reviews or using the site's navigation – only the necessary cookies are required for that. Most browsers also let you manage or block cookies directly:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking cookies entirely, across every site you visit, may affect features elsewhere on the web beyond this portal.
Updates to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time – to reflect a new tool we start using, or a change in how consent is handled. Any revision will appear on this page with a new date, so it's worth a glance if you're a regular reader. We won't backdate changes or apply them retroactively to cookies already set under an earlier version.
