What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience and to supply information to the website owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred settings, pages you have visited and actions you have taken. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), whilst others remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them (persistent cookies).
Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies cannot be used to run programmes or deliver viruses to your device.
How We Use Cookies
Tabbar House (tabbarhouse.com) uses cookies for several purposes. We aim to be fully transparent about the cookies we use and why. Below is a detailed breakdown of each category of cookie used on our website.
1. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security features and access to certain areas of the site. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Essential cookies used on Tabbar House include:
- Session management cookies: These keep you connected as you navigate between pages and ensure the site functions correctly during your visit. They are deleted when you close your browser.
- Cookie consent cookie: This records your cookie preferences so that we do not repeatedly ask for your consent each time you visit. It is stored for 12 months.
- Security cookies: These help protect the website against malicious activity such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
2. Analytics Cookies (Performance)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content and performance of the site.
We use the following analytics services:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about page views, visitor numbers, time spent on pages, traffic sources and the devices used to access the site. Google Analytics uses cookies including
_ga,_ga_*, and_gid. These cookies do not identify individual visitors. Data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy. Analytics cookies are stored for up to 2 years.
The information collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous. We use it solely to improve the website and understand which content is most useful to our readers. We do not use analytics data for advertising purposes or share it with third parties for marketing.
3. Marketing and Affiliate Cookies
As an affiliate review website, Tabbar House earns revenue when visitors click our links and register at recommended casinos. Marketing and affiliate cookies are used to track these referrals accurately.
Marketing cookies used on our site include:
- Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click on a link to a casino or gambling site from Tabbar House, our affiliate partners may set cookies on your device to track the referral. These cookies allow the casino operator to attribute your registration to our website and enable us to receive the appropriate commission. Affiliate cookies are typically stored for 30 to 90 days, depending on the partner programme.
- Referral source cookies: These cookies record how you arrived at our website (for example, from a search engine, social media or a direct visit) to help us understand which marketing channels are most effective.
We do not use cookies to serve personalised advertisements on Tabbar House. We do not use retargeting or remarketing cookies.
4. Functional Cookies (Preferences)
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalised features. These cookies are not strictly necessary for the site to work, but they improve your experience.
- Theme and display preferences: If the site offers display options (such as dark mode or layout preferences), functional cookies remember your selection so it persists across pages and visits.
- Navigation preferences: These cookies may remember whether you have dismissed certain notifications, banners or information boxes, so they do not reappear on subsequent visits.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. Tabbar House does not control the cookies set by these third parties, and we recommend reviewing their respective privacy and cookie policies for further information.
Third parties that may set cookies when you visit Tabbar House include:
- Google (Analytics): For website performance analysis. See Google Privacy Policy.
- Affiliate partner networks: When you click through to a casino site, the affiliate network may set tracking cookies. Each affiliate partner operates under its own privacy policy.
We regularly review the third-party services used on our website and aim to minimise the number of third-party cookies set during your visit.
How to Manage and Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways:

Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. In particular, blocking essential cookies will prevent the site from operating correctly.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to our website, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sending information to Google Analytics.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. At present, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We currently treat DNT signals as a preference and will continue to monitor developments in this area.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit Tabbar House, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice. This notice allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing and functional cookies). Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are necessary for the site to function.
Your cookie preferences are stored in a cookie consent cookie on your device for 12 months. After this period, you will be asked for your consent again. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
