Cookie policy

tfiwebdesign.co.uk is an independent informational portal publishing reviews and guides about MadSlots. We are not an operator, do not accept bets, and do not process gambling transactions. This policy explains what cookies are, which categories we use, how long they are stored, and how visitors in the United Kingdom can manage or withdraw consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on a device when a visitor opens a website. It allows the site to recognise the browser on later visits, remember choices, and record general usage patterns. Cookies do not access files stored elsewhere on a device and cannot run programs.

On tfiwebdesign.co.uk, cookies support page functionality, help us understand which review pages are useful, and, where consent is given, support relevant on-site content. No cookie on this portal collects payment details, passwords, or identity documents.

Categories of cookies we use

Cookies on this portal fall into four categories, consistent with PECR guidance:

• Strictly necessary — required for core functions such as page navigation, security, and remembering cookie consent choices. These cannot be switched off through our banner because the site would not work correctly without them.
• Performance and analytics — measure page visits, time on page, and navigation paths across MadSlots review content, helping us identify broken links or unpopular sections.
• Functional — remember settings such as language or display preferences chosen on a previous visit.
• Targeting — used only with consent, to limit how often the same on-site content is shown and to assess which review pages perform best.

Examples include a session identifier for strictly necessary cookies, an analytics client ID for performance cookies, a language-preference cookie for functional purposes, and a frequency-capping cookie for targeting.

How long cookies are stored

The retention period of a cookie depends on its purpose and category. Some cookies remain active only during the current browser session, while others are stored for a limited period to remember preferences or provide aggregated information about how visitors use tfiwebdesign.co.uk. The table below summarises the typical examples and maximum retention periods applied on the site.

Retention periods above are maximums; cookies may be cleared earlier by the browser or by the visitor.

Consent and managing cookies

When a visitor first opens tfiwebdesign.co.uk, a consent banner requests permission for non-essential cookies, in line with PECR. Consent can be withdrawn or changed at any time by reopening the cookie settings link in the site footer. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, as they are needed to deliver the service requested by the visitor.

Cookies can also be controlled directly through browser settings. Most browsers allow visitors to view stored cookies, block cookies from specific sites, delete existing cookies, or block all cookies by default. Disabling performance, functional, or targeting cookies does not prevent access to MadSlots review content, though some display preferences may reset between visits.

Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help section of each browser, since menu names and options differ between browser versions.

Visitors using a mobile device can usually find equivalent cookie controls within the browser app's privacy or site settings menu. Clearing cookies on a phone or tablet has the same effect as on a desktop browser: consent choices and stored preferences are reset, and the banner will appear again on the next visit to tfiwebdesign.co.uk.

Updates and contact

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in cookie use or in PECR and UK GDPR requirements. Updates take effect from the date of publication on this page. Questions about this policy or requests regarding stored cookies can be sent to [email protected].
