How We Use Cookies
This Cookie Policy sets out the small text files we place on your device when you visit slotmonster-aud.com, why we use them, and the choices you have. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and applies to every page of our site.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. When you return, your browser sends that file back so the site remembers something about you, such as the fact that you already logged in. Cookies cannot read your other files or install programs on your device.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which works the same way but holds slightly more data. When we say cookies in this policy, we mean both unless we say otherwise.
The Four Cookie Groups
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep slotmonster-aud.com working and secure. They maintain your login session, protect forms against tampering, and carry your authentication between pages. Without them you could not stay logged in or complete a deposit, so we do not offer an opt-out for this group.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have already made, such as your preferred language, currency display or game filters. They save you re-setting the same options on every visit. Our live chat widget also sets a cookie so it can resume your conversation if you switch pages.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how visitors move through our site: which pages load slowly, where players drop off during registration, and which game categories get the most traffic. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We rely on it to fix problems and improve navigation.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support our promotional work. They help us measure whether our bonus campaigns reach the right audience and limit how often you see the same ad. If you came to us through a partner link, a marketing cookie may attribute your visit to that partner. This group is disabled by default until you consent.
| Cookie name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sm_session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in during your visit | Session |
| sm_csrf | Strictly necessary | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| sm_lang | Functional | Remembers your language choice | 90 days |
| sm_pref | Functional | Stores display and game preferences | 365 days |
| sm_anon | Analytics | Aggregated traffic and page performance data | 30 days |
| sm_utm | Marketing | Attributes your visit to a campaign or partner | 90 days |
Cookies From Third Parties
Some cookies on our pages are set by the external services we operate with, not by us. When you load a live casino table, the game provider may set its own cookie to keep the video stream stable. Payment providers we work with may set cookies during a deposit so the transaction can be verified and completed securely.
We allow third-party cookies only for analytics providers, advertising networks, game and live-streaming providers, and payment providers. Each third party controls its own cookies, and its privacy policy governs the data it collects. We do not permit third parties to use our site for purposes outside those four categories.
Controlling Cookies Yourself
Our consent banner
When you first land on slotmonster-aud.com, our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject everything except strictly necessary cookies, or open a settings panel where you switch each category on or off individually. You can reopen the banner at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer and change your mind as often as you like.
Browser controls
Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies directly, regardless of our banner.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, then block or allow as you prefer.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or prevent cross-site tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, where you can reject trackers and third-party cookies under Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then manage and delete cookies per site.
What happens if you block
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break core functions: you will not be able to log in, claim a bonus or make a deposit. Blocking functional cookies means your language and preferences reset on every visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies does not affect game play at all; it only means we see less aggregate traffic data and you may see less relevant promotions.
How Long Cookies Last
Strictly necessary cookies last only for the session and disappear when you close your browser. Functional cookies persist for 90 days for language settings and up to 365 days for stored preferences. Analytics cookies expire after 30 days, and marketing cookies after 90 days. You can clear any cookie from your browser at any time before its expiry.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, login, security | Session | Not available |
| Functional | Language and preference memory | 90 to 365 days | Banner or browser |
| Analytics | Aggregated behaviour data | 30 days | Banner or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | 90 days | Banner or browser |
Changes to This Policy
Since we launched in 2024, we have kept this policy under review, and we will update it whenever our cookie use changes. When we make a material change, we post a notice on the site and update the version date at the top of this page. If a change introduces a new category of cookies that needs your consent, the banner will appear again on your next visit so you can accept or decline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Slotmonster Casino use cookies to track my gameplay?
Analytics cookies record how pages are used in aggregate, such as how many players open a game category. They do not track your individual bets or results, and game outcomes are never influenced by cookies.
Can I play with all cookies blocked?
No. Strictly necessary cookies keep your session and security working, so blocking them stops login and deposits. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies does not affect play.
How do I change my cookie consent after accepting?
Use the Cookie Settings link in our footer to reopen the consent panel, or clear cookies in your browser settings to reset the banner on your next visit.
Do cookies store my payment details?
No. Cookies never contain card numbers, wallet credentials or crypto keys. Payment transactions are handled by our payment providers under their own security processes.
