Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how this website (the “Site”), which publishes independent content about Aviamasters by BGaming and compares casinos that distribute the game, uses cookies and similar browser-based technologies. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy for a complete picture of our data practices.


Let’s be straightforward about what cookies on this Site actually do. They keep the pages loading correctly and the Site functioning as intended. They help us understand, in aggregate, which parts of our Aviamasters coverage readers find genuinely useful. And they allow us to receive a commission when a click from this Site leads to a qualifying casino registration. That is the complete scope. None of it requires identifying you personally, and we have designed the entire setup around that constraint.


If you continue using this Site after the consent banner has appeared without changing the default settings, that constitutes acceptance of non-essential cookies as described in this Policy. Strictly necessary cookies run at all times because the Site cannot function without them.


// What a Cookie Is

A cookie is a small text file that a website deposits on your device when you visit. Your browser stores it and may return it to the same site on subsequent visits, which is how sites can recognize returning visitors or recall previously applied settings. Cookies are passive data stores: they hold information, but they cannot execute programs, access other data on your device, or carry malicious software.

Throughout this Policy, the term “cookies” also covers related technologies including browser local storage and pixel tags, unless the context requires a distinction between them.

// Cookie Categories We Use

Strictly necessary. These maintain the fundamental operation of the Site: navigation logic, basic security functions, and core display rendering. They are not subject to your consent and cannot be disabled through our preference tool. Blocking them at the browser level will interfere with how the Site operates.

Analytics and performance. These tell us, at an aggregate level, how visitors engage with our Aviamasters content: which pages about the counter mechanic, the token system, or the automatic round resolution attract the most attention, how long people typically spend on each section, and what external source referred them here. No individual visitor is profiled; the data is statistical only.

Affiliate tracking. When you click through to a partner casino from this Site, a cookie records that the referral originated here. If you register and deposit within the operator’s attribution window, we receive a commission. These cookies capture only a click event and the time it occurred. They do not carry any personally identifying information and do not track your activity once you leave this Site.

Preference cookies. These store your consent choices and any display preferences you have set, so the Site behaves consistently when you return.

How the Consent Banner Functions

On your first visit, a consent banner gives you three choices: accept all non-essential cookies, decline all non-essential cookies, or open a detailed preferences panel where you can accept or decline each category individually. If you continue browsing without making a selection, only strictly necessary cookies are set. We do not treat inaction as consent for analytics or affiliate tracking purposes.

Whatever choice you make is stored in a preference cookie. That is what prevents the banner from reappearing on every page during your visit. If you clear your cookies entirely, the banner will appear again on your next visit because the record of your previous choice has been removed. If we ever introduce a new category of non-essential cookie, we will present a fresh consent request for that category specifically.

One practical note: this consent system is built to function as it describes. Declining a category genuinely prevents those cookies from being set on your device. It is not a cosmetic change that leaves the cookies running in the background.

// Complete Cookie Inventory

Every cookie currently deployed on this Site is listed in the table below. We maintain this inventory actively and update it whenever our use of third-party tools changes in a material way.

// Third-Party Cookies and Their Scope

Some cookies on this Site are set by third-party services we have integrated, primarily Google Analytics. Google’s own data processing terms govern whatever it does with data from that integration. We do not permit advertising networks, retargeting services, or data brokers to place cookies on this Site, and nothing deployed here is used for behavioral advertising or cross-site tracking purposes.

Once an affiliate tracking cookie is set and you navigate to a casino, our visibility into your activity ends completely. We have no view of whether you registered, deposited, or played any Aviamasters session. The only feedback we receive is whether a commission was subsequently credited to us by the casino’s affiliate system, and that report contains no personal information about you as an individual.

Worth stating explicitly: there is no live data connection between this Site and any casino we link to. The affiliate cookie records a click. After that, your activity – including any interaction with the Aviamasters counter, token sequences, and the automatic round resolution – is on the casino’s own infrastructure, entirely outside our reach.

What Our Visibility Is Actually Limited To

We regularly receive this question from readers and prefer to address it directly. We have no dashboard, no feed, and no report that shows us anything about your account at any casino. We do not see your balance, your session history, how the token system played out in any round, or anything else about your activity there. The affiliate cookie records a click originating from this Site and nothing more. Commission confirmation comes through the casino’s own affiliate reporting – not through any direct account data access.

// How to Manage Your Cookie Settings

Three routes are available for managing cookies on your device. First, our on-site preference tool, which is shown on your first visit and is accessible at any time through the cookie settings link in the Site footer. Second, your browser’s native privacy controls. Third, for Google Analytics cookies specifically, Google’s opt-out browser extension at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Browser navigation paths for the native controls:

  • Chrome → Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox → Settings > Privacy & Security
  • Safari → Preferences > Privacy
  • Microsoft Edge → Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Disabling non-essential cookies does not prevent you from reading any content on this Site. It may affect certain display personalization features and will prevent us from attributing any casino referral to this Site if you subsequently register at one. We accept this outcome as the natural consequence of respecting user preferences.

A Note on Blocking Necessary Cookies

If you block all cookies at the browser level, including strictly necessary ones, the consent preference tool itself may malfunction, since it relies on a preference cookie to store your prior choice. This can create a loop in which the consent banner reappears on every page load. Using the on-site preference tool for granular category-level management avoids this problem while giving you more precise control over which non-essential cookies run.

// Consent Mechanics and Withdrawal

Our consent system operates at the individual category level. You can accept analytics cookies while declining affiliate tracking, or accept affiliate tracking while declining analytics, or decline both, or accept both. That granularity is available to every visitor.

Withdrawing consent for a category takes effect immediately for any new cookies going forward and is available at any time through the preference tool. It does not retroactively affect any processing that occurred during the period when consent was active. Withdrawing consent for the newsletter is handled through the unsubscribe link in any newsletter you receive.

// Cookies and the Privacy Policy

Where any specific cookie processes information that qualifies as personal data under applicable law, our Privacy Policy governs that processing, including the legal basis relied on, the applicable retention period, and the rights available to you as a data subject. Analytics cookies in our configuration anonymize IP addresses before any data is stored. Affiliate tracking cookies capture click events and timestamps, not the identity of the individual who clicked.

// Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a Do Not Track header to websites they connect to. There is currently no binding legal standard or technical specification governing how websites are required to respond to this signal, and this Site does not presently alter its behavior in response to it. The controls described in Section 6 provide more specific and reliable management of tracking on this Site.

// Changes to This Policy

We revise this Policy as our cookie practices evolve, publishing the updated version here with a new effective date. Continued use of the Site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
