Cookie Policy: What Gets Stored on Your Device, and How to Change It

Cookie notices have a reputation for saying nothing at length. This one takes the opposite approach: it names the categories of cookie in use on this site, explains what each actually does, states which ones need your consent, and gives the settings path for the browser you are reading this in.

Two kinds of reader usually land here. One wants to know what is being tracked before agreeing to anything. The other is trying to fix something practical, most often being logged out over and over, which is nearly always a cookie problem. Both are covered below.

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep. It holds a short value, often nothing more than a random identifier, and your browser sends it back on your next request to the same site. That round trip is what lets a website recognise a returning visitor at all.

Left to itself, the web has no memory: every page request arrives as if from a stranger. Cookies are the workaround. They are why a signed-in session survives a click from the lobby to the cashier, why your preferred language stays selected, and why a cookie banner does not reappear on every page. They are not programs, they cannot read files on your device, and they cannot see anything you have not given the site.

The Four Categories in Use

Cookies on this site fall into four groups, and the difference between them is what they are for, not how they are built.

Strictly necessary. These run the site. They hold the session identifier that keeps you signed in, carry the security token that protects form submissions against forged requests, remember which cookie choices you made so the banner stops asking, and support load balancing so that requests from one session reach a consistent server. They store no marketing information and they cannot be switched off from within the site, because switching them off is indistinguishable from being signed out.

Performance and analytics. These count how pages are used: which sections are visited, how long a page takes to become usable, where a form is abandoned, which errors are triggered. The output is aggregate. It exists so that a slow page or a broken step can be found and repaired rather than guessed at.

Functionality. These remember choices you made deliberately. Interface language, display currency, sound on or off in games, whether you prefer the lobby in a grid or a list, which layout you last used. Refusing them does not break the site; it just means telling it the same things again on every visit.

Advertising and targeting. These are the ones people actually mean when they ask about tracking. They record which campaign brought you to the site and whether a promotion you saw led anywhere, and they can be used to limit how often the same message is shown to you. This category runs only if you consent to it, and it can be turned off at any time without affecting anything else.

How Long They Stay

Lifespan varies, and it is worth knowing which sort you are dealing with.

Session cookies live in memory and disappear the moment you close the browser. The sign-in session is the obvious example, which is why closing every window and reopening the site can leave you signed out.

Persistent cookies carry an expiry date and survive a restart. A record of your cookie preferences would be useless if it vanished nightly, so it persists. Analytics and advertising identifiers also persist, for periods that differ by cookie and by the party that set them, and none of them lasts indefinitely: an expired cookie is discarded by your browser without you doing anything.

You can also clear the lot manually at any time, which resets the site to treating you as a first-time visitor.

Strictly necessary cookies are set because the site cannot run without them. Everything else is a choice.

On your first visit a banner offers the options: accept all, reject non-essential, or open the settings and decide category by category. Whatever you choose is recorded and respected until you change it. Advertising and targeting cookies in particular are consent-based, and they stay dormant unless you switch them on.

Changing your mind later takes two routes. Reopen the cookie preferences from the link in the site footer and adjust the categories, or clear this site's cookies in your browser, which removes the stored preference and brings the banner back on your next visit. Withdrawing consent has no effect on your account, your balance or your ability to play.

Cookies Set by Other Parties

Not every cookie on the page comes from this site.

Game studios. Titles from providers such as Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play'n GO and Evolution load from the provider's own infrastructure, and they set their own cookies to hold the game session, keep sound and speed settings, and reconnect a round if your connection drops mid-spin. Blocking third-party cookies wholesale generally stops games loading, which is the most common cause of a lobby that opens fine while individual titles refuse to start.

Analytics services. Independent measurement tools set cookies of their own to attribute a visit consistently. They report on behaviour in aggregate.

Payment and security providers. Fraud checks during a deposit can involve a third-party service that needs to recognise the same browser across the steps of a transaction.

Each of these operates under its own privacy terms as well as this policy. What none of them receives is the contents of your account.

The plain version: cookie data from this site is not sold, and it is not passed to unrelated companies to use however they like. It is shared with the verified partners named in the categories above, the ones that run games, measure performance and process payments, and shared for those purposes only, under contracts limiting what they may do with it.

That is a narrower claim than "we never share data", and it is narrower deliberately, because a site that runs third-party games and third-party analytics does share data by construction. Anyone who tells you otherwise is describing a different website.

Before You Block Everything

There is a setting in every browser that blocks all cookies, including strictly necessary ones. It works, and here is what it does on a gambling site:

You cannot stay signed in. The session identifier has nowhere to live, so every page load logs you out again.
The cashier fails partway, because deposit and withdrawal flows carry state across several steps.
Games from external studios stop loading.
The cookie banner returns on every single page, because the record of your choice is itself a cookie.

If your goal is to stop tracking rather than to stop the site working, block third-party or advertising cookies and leave the strictly necessary ones alone. That gets you the privacy outcome without the breakage. Blocking everything is a legitimate choice, but make it knowingly rather than discovering the consequences at the cashier.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Paths current at the time of writing. Menu wording shifts between versions, so treat these as the route rather than as a fixed label.

Google Chrome (desktop). Settings, then Privacy and security. Third-party cookies gives you the blocking options and a list of sites you can allow or block individually. Delete browsing data, in the same section, clears cookies already stored.

Safari (macOS). Safari menu, then Settings, then the Privacy tab. Block all cookies is the switch; Manage Website Data lets you remove stored data for one site rather than all of them. On iPhone and iPad, open the Settings app, find Safari under Apps, and use Block All Cookies plus Clear History and Website Data.

Mozilla Firefox. Settings, then Privacy and Security. Enhanced Tracking Protection offers Standard, Strict and Custom, with Custom letting you choose which cookie types to block. Cookies and Site Data, just below, holds Manage Data for per-site removal.

Microsoft Edge. Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data. Blocking rules, per-site exceptions and clearing on close all sit on that screen.

Mobile browsers other than Safari keep the same controls under a Settings or Privacy menu, usually with identical wording to their desktop versions.

When This Policy Changes

Cookies change as the site does: a new analytics tool, a new payment provider, a game studio updating how its titles load. When that happens this page is updated and the effective date at the top of it moves. Minor adjustments are published here and nowhere else, which is why the version on this page is the one that applies.

Changes that materially affect what is stored on your device, a new category of cookie above all, are notified in the account so that you see them on your next sign-in rather than by chance. Where new consent is required, the banner reappears and asks for it rather than assuming your previous answer still applies.

Getting In Touch About Cookies

If something here is unclear, or you want to know what a specific cookie on this site does, ask through live chat while signed in to leon casino, or write to the support address published in the site footer. Cookie and data enquiries are routed to the team that handles privacy matters, and they are answered rather than acknowledged and dropped. For the wider picture of what personal information is collected, why, and which rights you hold under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), see our privacy policy, which covers the ground this page deliberately leaves to it.
