What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owners. Cookies can remember your preferences, track your browsing activity, and help deliver a more personalised experience. They do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you, but they can be linked to information that does.
How We Use Cookies
Dudespin uses cookies for several purposes to enhance your experience on our platform. These purposes include remembering your login status, understanding how you interact with our services, improving our website's functionality, and delivering relevant advertising. By using cookies, we can tailor our services to your preferences and ensure a smoother, more secure gaming environment. We are committed to protecting your privacy and use cookies responsibly, in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are fundamental for the operation of the Dudespin website. Without these cookies, certain core functionalities, such as logging in, accessing secure areas of the site, or making deposits and withdrawals, would not be possible. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are strictly necessary for the website to function.
- Session Management: These cookies maintain your session state, allowing you to remain logged in as you move between different pages on Dudespin.
- Security: They help us detect and prevent fraudulent activities and ensure the security of your account.
- Compliance: Essential cookies assist us in meeting our regulatory and legal obligations, such as age verification and responsible gaming measures.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Dudespin website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and if they encounter any error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this information to understand user behaviour, identify areas for improvement, and optimise the performance of our website and services. This helps us make Dudespin a better platform for all our players.
- Website Performance: We monitor site load times and overall responsiveness.
- Content Optimisation: We identify popular content and features to refine our offerings.
- User Journey Analysis: We track user flows to improve navigation and accessibility.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow Dudespin to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For instance, these cookies can remember your username, language preference, or region. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customisable parts of web pages. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies improve your convenience and make your experience on Dudespin more tailored to your individual preferences.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are often placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. These cookies remember that you have visited our website and may share this information with other organisations, such as advertisers. This allows us to display Dudespin advertisements on other websites you visit, based on your browsing activity on our site. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We aim to ensure that any advertising you see is as relevant and unobtrusive as possible.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, Dudespin also allows certain third parties to place cookies on your device. These third-party cookies are set by domains other than our own and are used for various purposes, including analytics, advertising, and social media integration. For example, we might use third-party analytics providers to help us understand website usage, or third-party advertising partners to manage our ad campaigns. We carefully select our third-party partners and ensure they adhere to strict data protection standards. We do not have direct control over these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.
How Long Cookies Last
The duration for which a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "session" cookie or a "persistent" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and only remain on your device until you close your web browser. Once you close your browser, these cookies are deleted. They are primarily used for essential functions like maintaining your login session while you navigate Dudespin. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period, even after you close your browser. They have an expiration date, which can vary from a few minutes to several years. These cookies are used to remember your preferences, track your activity over time, and provide services such as keeping you logged in or remembering your language settings. The specific expiry period for each cookie is detailed within your browser settings.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the ability to manage and control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies or to accept only certain types of cookies. You can also delete cookies that have already been placed on your device. Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of the Dudespin website may not function correctly, and your user experience may be affected. For example, you may need to log in repeatedly, and some personalised features may not be available. The methods for managing cookies vary depending on the browser you use. You can usually find these settings in your browser's "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu.

- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data > Choose what to clear.
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.

Do Not Track
"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the DNT signal, the browser sends a signal to websites requesting that their online activity not be tracked. Dudespin currently does not respond to DNT signals. This is because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should interpret or respond to DNT signals. We continue to monitor developments in this area and will update our practices if a consistent and legally binding standard emerges. In the meantime, you can manage your cookie preferences directly through your browser settings as described in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
Dudespin may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Significant changes will be communicated through prominent notices on our website or via email, where appropriate. Your continued use of the Dudespin platform after any modifications to this policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team. You can reach us through the dedicated support channels available on the Dudespin website. Our team is available to assist you with any inquiries regarding your privacy and data protection.
