Cookies and cached files have different jobs
A cookie is a small value a website can ask your browser to send back with later requests. It can identify a session or help a security service recognise a request. Your browser can also cache files such as images, fonts and stylesheets so it does not need to download the same file every time.
Caching an image is not the same as creating a reader account. Our local fonts, casino artwork and payment symbols can be cached as ordinary website assets. Clearing the cache makes the browser download those files again, but it does not send a contact message or change a casino account.
What is used on this website
| Feature | Purpose | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Public reading controls | Operate filters, article navigation and question panels. | Selections are handled in the page's browser state. Temporary tab storage also supports navigation and colour transitions; there is no saved reader profile. |
| Cached site files | Load images, fonts and page styling efficiently. | Your browser can reuse a file it already has. |
| Administrator session | Keep an authorised editor signed in to the private CMS. | The essential payload-token login cookie has an eight-hour session lifetime and is not needed to read public articles. |
| Cloudflare security | Deliver pages and respond to suspicious requests. | A security check may use an essential cookie when the relevant protection is triggered. |
Cloudflare cookies depend on which protection is applied to a request. For example, a challenge can use a clearance cookie to remember that the browser passed it. Seeing such a cookie does not mean you have joined a casino or created a profile with Oversea Casinos.
Optional tracking is not configured
The website does not load analytics tags, advertising trackers, embedded social feeds or video players. There is no newsletter subscription, public comment account or optional cookie preference that you need to accept before reading an article.
The contact form's short-lived submission limit is held on the server. It does not need a marketing cookie in your browser. The information submitted through that form is covered by the privacy policy.
Using your browser's controls
You can inspect, block or clear cookies through your browser's privacy settings. Removing an administrator session cookie signs that browser out of the private editor. Blocking a security cookie may cause a challenge to appear again or prevent the affected request from completing.
Offer buttons and contributor profile links take you to other websites. Cookies set there belong to that separate visit and are governed by the destination's own settings. Use Contact if a question concerns storage associated with this website, and include the cookie name and page address rather than copying a private cookie value.
