What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
How We Use Cookies
ThamesPintPlay uses cookies and similar technologies (like localStorage) to provide essential functionality. We use minimal cookies compared to most websites, and we do not use cookies for advertising or tracking you across other websites.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly:
- Age Verification Cookie: Remembers that you've confirmed you're 18 or older, so you don't need to verify on every visit
- Cookie Consent Cookie: Remembers your choice to accept cookies
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage to save your game progress:
- Virtual token balances for each game
- Game statistics (number of spins, rolls, hands played)
- Current bet amounts
This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
What We Don't Use
Unlike many websites, ThamesPintPlay does NOT use:
- Advertising cookies
- Cross-site tracking cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Third-party analytics cookies (beyond basic server logs)
- Marketing or behavioral targeting cookies
Cookie Duration
Our essential cookies are persistent cookies that remain on your device until you delete them or they expire. The age verification and cookie consent cookies are set to expire after one year, though you can delete them at any time through your browser settings.
Managing Cookies
Browser Controls
All modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:
- View what cookies are stored
- Delete all cookies or specific cookies
- Block all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Set cookies to be deleted when you close your browser
Browser-Specific Instructions
Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable cookies on ThamesPintPlay:
- You'll need to verify your age on every visit
- Your game progress won't be saved between sessions
- The cookie consent banner will appear on every visit
- The basic games will still function, but your experience will be limited
LocalStorage Management
LocalStorage data (which holds your game progress) can be cleared through your browser's settings, typically in the same location where you manage cookies. Clearing localStorage will reset your virtual token balances and game statistics.
Mobile Devices
On mobile devices, cookie and data management works similarly through your mobile browser's settings. The exact steps vary by device and browser, but the options are generally found in the browser's privacy or settings menu.
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites requesting not to be tracked. Since ThamesPintPlay doesn't track users across websites or build behavioral profiles, this setting doesn't change our minimal data practices.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or regulations. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Your Consent
When you first visit ThamesPintPlay, you'll see a cookie consent banner. By clicking "Accept" or continuing to use the site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting our cookies through your browser settings.

Summary
In plain language: We use minimal cookies to remember your age verification and cookie choice. We use localStorage to save your game progress on your device. We don't use advertising, tracking, or marketing cookies. You can delete all this data anytime through your browser settings.
