Sahara Sands Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Sahara Sands Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and related services. It describes what these tools do, why they are used, and the choices available to you.
Cookies help us deliver core site functions, keep your session stable, and understand how our pages are used so we can improve navigation, game access, and customer experience. Where cookies are not strictly necessary, we use them only where appropriate and, when required, based on your choices.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (such as a computer, mobile phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies can remember information about your visit, such as your session status, preferences, or how you interact with pages.
Cookies may be set by Sahara Sands Casino (often called first-party cookies) or by other companies whose tools are used on our website (third-party cookies). Similar technologies, such as pixels, SDKs, and local storage, may also be used for comparable purposes, such as analytics or remembering preferences.
Cookies are commonly described by how long they last:
- Session cookies: temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: cookies that remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Types of Cookies
We use different categories of cookies depending on the feature being provided. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others help us understand performance, personalise content, or provide marketing-related functions.
The categories below are explained in more detail in the following sections:
- Essential cookies (required for basic site operation and security).
- Performance cookies (measure usage to improve reliability and user experience).
- Functional cookies (remember preferences and support enhanced features).
- Marketing cookies (support advertising, frequency control, and campaign measurement).
Not all categories will be used on every page or for every user. For example, some features may only apply after login or when using specific tools, such as live chat or payment-related checks.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for Sahara Sands Casino to operate correctly. They help deliver requested services, maintain security, and enable core features such as navigation, account login, and fraud-prevention controls.
Examples of how essential cookies may be used include:
- Keeping you signed in during a secure session and maintaining session integrity.
- Remembering key technical settings needed for the site to load properly.
- Supporting security measures, such as detecting unusual activity and protecting against automated abuse.
- Enabling account-related workflows, including authentication and session timeouts.
Because these cookies are required for the website to function, disabling them may cause parts of the site to stop working or become unavailable.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve speed, stability, and content structure. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited most, which links are clicked, and whether users encounter errors.
Performance data is generally aggregated and is used to:
- Monitor page load times and identify technical issues.
- Assess which areas of the website are most helpful to players.
- Improve navigation and usability across devices and browsers.
- Test changes to page layouts or features to see what works best.
Where performance tools can identify a device or browser over time, they do so to understand usage patterns, reduce repeat error reports, and improve service quality. We aim to use this information in a proportionate way and not for unrelated purposes.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies support enhanced features and personalisation. They help Sahara Sands Casino remember your choices so the website can provide a more consistent experience, such as keeping you in your preferred language setting (where available) or remembering display preferences.
Functional cookies may be used to:
- Store preference settings (such as layout options or interface choices).
- Enable convenience features, such as keeping certain forms partially completed during a session.
- Support customer service tools that you choose to use, such as chat features.
- Reduce repeated prompts where you have already made a selection, where appropriate.
If you disable functional cookies, some personalisation and non-essential features may not work as intended, but essential services should remain available.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to help deliver advertising that is more relevant and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These cookies may be placed by Sahara Sands Casino or by third-party advertising and measurement providers.
Marketing cookies can be used for purposes such as:
- Measuring whether an advertisement led to a site visit or registration.
- Limiting how often you see the same advertisement (frequency capping).
- Understanding which channels or campaigns are performing well.
- Supporting audience segmentation based on general browsing patterns.
Marketing cookies do not typically store direct identifiers like your name. They may, however, relate to a browser or device and, in some cases, be combined with other information held by third parties under their own privacy practices.
If you choose to restrict marketing cookies, you may still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant and campaign measurement may be less accurate.
Managing Cookies
You have control over cookies through your browser settings and, where available, cookie preference controls on the website. Your choices may affect the availability of certain features, including staying signed in, loading preferences, or completing certain actions smoothly.
Common ways to manage cookies include:
- Browser controls: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, restrict third-party cookies, or clear stored data when you close the browser.
- Device controls: mobile operating systems may provide additional controls for tracking and advertising identifiers.
- Private browsing modes: these can reduce stored data on your device, but may not prevent all forms of storage.
If you want step-by-step instructions, you can consult your browser provider’s help pages, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge.
Where you need assistance with cookie-related access issues on Sahara Sands Casino, you can contact customer support at [email protected].
Please note that deleting cookies can remove saved settings and may require you to re-enter preferences or sign in again. Blocking certain cookies can also affect site performance and the availability of some services.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features on the Sahara Sands Casino website may involve third-party services that set their own cookies or use similar technologies. Examples can include analytics tools, advertising partners, security services, embedded content, and customer support widgets.
Third-party cookies are governed by the third party’s policies, not ours. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party privacy and cookie information to understand how they process data and what choices they provide.
We take a risk-based approach when enabling third-party tools and aim to use reputable providers. However, because we do not control third-party technologies directly, changes made by those providers (such as how they set cookies or how long cookies persist) may occur without prior notice to us.
Depending on your browser settings, you may be able to limit third-party cookies specifically. Restricting them may affect certain embedded tools or measurement functions.
Policy Updates
Sahara Sands Casino may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, website features, or operational practices. When we make updates, we will revise the content of this page so you can review the current approach to cookies and similar technologies.
We recommend checking this policy periodically, especially if you regularly use the website from multiple devices or browsers. Your continued use of the site after an update indicates that you have had the opportunity to review the revised policy.
