1. What This Policy Covers
This policy describes how cookies, local storage values, and similar browser technologies are used on goldnexis.com. It applies to pages that present editorial casino comparisons, legal notices, and responsible gambling information. GoldNexis is not a gambling operator. We use cookies to run core site behaviour, remember user choices, and understand broad traffic patterns so pages remain reliable and readable across devices.
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain for a defined period. We also use local storage for two key preferences: age-verification status and cookie-choice status. These values help prevent repetitive prompts and keep the site usable after your first interaction.
2. Categories of Technologies We Use
Strictly Necessary
Necessary storage is used to keep essential site controls working. For example, the age gate requires a stored value so adults are not asked on every page load during the same browsing period. Similarly, your cookie choice is stored so the banner can respect your decision. These mechanisms are focused on access control and compliance behaviour, not advertising personalisation.
Preference Storage
Preference storage keeps functional choices such as whether a menu was opened or whether a utility interaction was completed. This helps with basic convenience. We avoid decorative tracking scripts and do not run a hidden profile engine to predict user behaviour across unrelated websites.
Measurement and Diagnostics
We may process aggregate traffic information to understand page performance, error frequency, and broad content usage. This kind of analysis helps us identify broken links, slow-loading sections, and outdated legal references. Any measurement we use is aimed at service quality and editorial maintenance.
3. Cookies and Local Storage Keys Used on GoldNexis
goldnexis_age: stored when you confirm you are aged 18 or over. Purpose: suppress repeated age prompts and apply access gating logic. Typical retention: until cleared by you.
goldnexis_cookies: stored when you accept or reject the cookie prompt. Purpose: remember consent selection and hide the banner after choice. Typical retention: until cleared by you.
From time to time, short-lived technical values may appear for diagnostics and basic functionality. These values are not intended to identify you personally and are reviewed when implementation changes.
4. Your Choices and Controls
You can manage cookies and local storage through browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to delete stored values, block new cookies, or request prompts before storage is saved. If you disable all cookies, parts of the site may still load but key controls may behave differently, especially age verification flow and preference persistence.
The cookie banner on GoldNexis allows you to choose Accept or Reject. Rejecting does not block access to legal pages or core editorial content, but it may limit convenience features tied to preference storage. You can revisit your choice by clearing browser data for this domain.
5. Third-Party Links
GoldNexis includes outbound links to partner casino websites and support organisations such as GAMSTOP, GamCare, and BeGambleAware. When you leave our domain, third-party cookie policies apply. We do not control cookies set by external sites and recommend reading their notices before sharing information or opening accounts.
6. Legal Basis and Transparency
For UK visitors, cookie use is managed in line with applicable data protection and privacy framework expectations. Where consent is appropriate, we seek and store your choice. Where storage is strictly required for essential site operation, we use only what is necessary for that function. We document implementation choices so we can review them whenever design or technical architecture changes.
7. Security and Retention
Cookie and local storage values are kept minimal and are not designed as secure vaults for sensitive personal information. We do not store payment credentials in browser storage through this website. Retention depends on browser settings and your own actions. You can remove stored values at any time via browser controls.
8. Policy Updates
We may revise this policy when technologies, legal obligations, or operational practices change. Updates are published on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes will be reflected clearly in the text so visitors can understand the impact before continuing to use the site.
