Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 12 April, 2026
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") governs websites operated by Best Online Casinos Ireland (referred to as the "Site", "we", or "us"). By accessing and browsing the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies as outlined in this document.
We retain the right to revise this Policy at any point. We recommend returning to this page periodically to keep up with any updates. Your continued use of the Site after modifications have been published will be treated as acceptance of the revised Policy. Should you object to this Policy, your available recourse is to cease using the Site or adjust your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
This Cookie Policy is incorporated into and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. Any definitions established there apply equally here.
What This Policy Addresses:
- A definition of cookies and how they function
- How we deploy cookies across the Site
- How external parties make use of cookies
- The choices available to you regarding cookies
- How interest-based advertising works
Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a compact text file stored within your browser that enables the Site or outside parties to identify you as a returning user. Cookies serve multiple functions: they activate site features, supply analytical insights, save your personalised settings, and support the delivery of advertising and behavioural marketing campaigns.
Cookies fall into two broad categories — session cookies (which are erased when your browser is closed) and persistent cookies (which remain stored until their expiry date or until you manually remove them). Cookies originating from the website you are currently visiting are referred to as "first-party cookies", whereas those placed by outside services are known as "third-party cookies".
Cookies frequently operate alongside pixel tags embedded within web pages. Pixel tags (sometimes called web beacons or clear GIFs) are invisible graphic elements used in combination with cookies to track visitor activity, monitor referrals, facilitate retargeting, and support interest-based advertising as covered in Section 5.
How We Deploy Cookies
Whenever you visit the Site or engage with our services, we or external partners may place cookies within your browser. Some cookies are activated only when you interact with specific features or configure particular settings, while others serve longer-term operational purposes.
Each cookie on our Site falls into one of the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
First-party cookies that are essential for the Site to function correctly — for example, maintaining a logged-in session or enabling secure transactions.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Cookies used to gather data on how visitors interact with the Site, enabling us to enhance performance and trial new features. These may be set by us directly or by third-party analytics services.
Functionality Cookies
First-party cookies that store your selections and preferences so the Site can deliver a more personalised experience on future visits.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Third-party cookies — sometimes referred to as "behavioural" or "targeted" advertising cookies — placed by advertising platforms to display relevant promotional content based on your browsing history and interests.
How Third Parties Use Cookies
External services including analytics providers and advertising networks commonly use cookies to compile anonymised data about website visitors. This data may be used to better understand how users engage with our Site and with other online destinations they frequent.
Your Options Regarding Cookies
If you would rather not accept cookies, you have the ability to configure your browser to remove existing cookies and prevent new ones from being placed. Please be aware that doing so may limit certain features of the Site and prevent some pages from displaying as intended.
You can also opt out of third-party cookies by following the guidance provided within each third party's privacy documentation.

Interest-Based Advertising

Third-Party Cookie Details
We make use of a range of products and features provided by Google LLC across our Site.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors interact with the Site. This service sets cookies that gather usage data, including your IP address, which is transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the United States. We have enabled IP anonymisation ("gat._anonymize()") to ensure IP addresses are collected only in anonymised form.
For visitors within EU Member States and the European Economic Area, Google truncates IP addresses prior to storage. The full IP address is transmitted to US servers only in exceptional circumstances. Google uses the collected data to evaluate Site usage, produce reports, and offer related services. Your IP address will not be associated with any other data held by Google.
You may decline cookies through your browser, though this could restrict certain functionality. To prevent Google from collecting your data via Analytics, install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
For more information, visit Google Analytics Terms of Service or Google's Privacy & Terms.
Google Dynamic Remarketing
We use Google Dynamic Remarketing to promote our Site across the internet, including on the Google Display Network. This service presents ads based on sections of the Site you have previously viewed, using cookies for targeting. These cookies do not identify you personally or interact with your device data. You may opt out through Google's Ads Settings.
Google AdWords
We use Google AdWords to run search-based advertising campaigns. To opt out, visit Google's Ads Settings.
DoubleClick by Google
DoubleClick uses cookies to serve interest-based ads, tracking which advertisements are displayed and whether a user has arrived at a site through a paid placement. No personally identifiable information is collected by these cookies. Opt out via Google's Ads Settings.
We make use of retargeting pixels and Custom Audience tools provided by Facebook Inc.
Facebook Custom Audiences
For interest-based advertising purposes, we utilise Facebook Custom Audiences. A one-way, non-personal hash value is derived from your usage data and transmitted to Facebook for analysis and promotional targeting. This includes on-site activity and IP address data for geographic ad targeting. All transmissions are fully encrypted and remain anonymised from our perspective.
To read Facebook's privacy policy, visit Facebook Privacy. You can disable Custom Audiences at any time via Facebook Ad Settings.
Facebook Conversion Tracking Pixel
This feature monitors actions taken after users click on Facebook advertisements, allowing us to evaluate the performance of our ad campaigns for statistical reporting. Data gathered through this tool is entirely anonymised from our side — we are unable to view data tied to individual users. Facebook may, however, process and use this data in line with their own Privacy Policy.
You may withdraw consent at any point through Facebook Ad Settings.
