Welcome to the Mr Jones Casino cookie policy β and yes, we're going to make this interesting! π Unlike the mind-numbing legal jargon you'll find on most casino websites, we've written this in the same bold, direct voice as the rest of our guide. No hidden clauses, no corporate doublespeak β just the straight facts about what cookies we use, why we use them, and how YOU stay in control.
We're committed to full transparency with UK visitors in 2026. Whether you're checking out Mr Jones Casino or reading our guide pages, you deserve to understand exactly what's happening behind the scenes. This page covers everything the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) requires, written in language that actually makes sense.

π₯ What Are Cookies & Why We Use Them?
Let's start with basics. A cookie is a tiny text file that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile). When you visit this Mr Jones Casino guide site, we use cookies to remember things about you β your preferences, login details, what games you've checked out β that kind of stuff.
Think of cookies like your casino membership card. Just as the casino remembers your name and betting history, cookies let us know it's YOU returning to our site. That's why you don't have to re-enter everything every single time.
Here's the thing: Cookies aren't inherently bad. In fact, without them, the internet would be a nightmare. But we get it β privacy matters. That's why we're being completely upfront about which cookies we deploy, what data they collect, and most importantly, how you can take control.
β Types of Cookies We Use on Mr Jones Casino Guide
We categorise all Mr Jones Casino cookies into four main types. Each serves a different purpose, and your rights around each type are different. Let's break it down:
1. Essential Cookies (Always Active) β
These are the non-negotiable cookies. They keep our site secure, remember your login session, and prevent fraud. You cannot opt out of these β they're required by law and absolutely necessary for the site to function. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate our pages or access any content safely.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your logged-in session | Until browser closes | Mr Jones Casino guide |
| security_token | Prevents CSRF attacks & fraud | 24 hours | Mr Jones Casino guide |
| user_preferences_core | Stores essential display settings (language, currency) | 1 year | Mr Jones Casino guide |
| gdpr_consent_essential | Records that you've seen this policy | 1 year | Mr Jones Casino guide |
2. Analytics Cookies (Performance & Improvement) π
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Mr Jones Casino guide. Which pages do you read most? Where do visitors bounce? How long do people spend on the bonus guide versus the games section? This data helps us improve your experience β genuinely.
Your data is anonymized β we're not tracking "John Smith looked at the bonus page." We're seeing aggregate trends: "70% of visitors check the bonus section first." That's the difference.
Popular analytics partners we use include Google Analytics 4. These cookies require your consent, and you can withdraw it anytime through your cookie settings.
| Cookie Type | Data Collected | Duration | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Pages visited, time on site, referrer source, device type | Up to 14 months | Consent (UK GDPR) |
| Performance tracking | Page load times, interaction events, user flow | 30 days | Consent (UK GDPR) |
| Heat mapping (optional) | Where users click, scroll behaviour, mouse movement | 30 days | Consent (UK GDPR) |
3. Marketing & Advertising Cookies π°
Listen β we want to show you content that actually matters. That's where marketing cookies come in. These track your behaviour across the web so we can serve you relevant ads about Mr Jones Casino and other gaming content on platforms like Facebook, Google Display Network, and Instagram.
No data leaves the UK without your explicit permission, and all processing complies with UK GDPR 2026 standards. You can opt out completely, and no judgment β your choice is respected 100%.
These include retargeting pixels, social media cookies (if you use social login), and third-party advertising partners.
4. Preference Cookies (Your Settings) π§βπ
These remember your choices. Dark mode on? Preferred language? Whether you want notifications? Preference cookies make sure the site feels like yours every time you visit. Again, full consent required, and you control these completely.
π Our Legal Basis Under UK GDPR β Plain English Version
Here's where compliance gets real. Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we can't just sling cookies at visitors willy-nilly. We need a legal reason. In 2026, the rules haven't changed β we still need one of six lawful bases:
- Consent β You explicitly agree (that's most marketing & analytics cookies)
- Contract β It's necessary to provide a service (essential cookies)
- Legal obligation β We're legally required (fraud prevention, security)
- Vital interests β Protecting life or health (rarely applies to cookies)
- Public task β We're performing a public function (unlikely)
- Legitimate interest β We have a valid business reason that doesn't override your privacy rights
For the Mr Jones Casino guide, here's our breakdown:
- π Essential cookies: Legal basis = "Contract" (necessary for site function)
- π Analytics: Legal basis = "Consent" (you must opt in)
- π’ Marketing: Legal basis = "Consent" (you must opt in)
- βοΈ Preferences: Legal basis = "Consent" (you must opt in)
β How to Manage Your Cookie Settings on Mr Jones Casino
This is where the power is YOURS. π₯ We put cookie management front and centre because your privacy isn't negotiable.

- β Accept All β Approve every cookie type
- β Reject All (except essential) β Only essential cookies; everything else is blocked

You can change your mind anytime. Your choice is recorded in a consent cookie that lasts 12 months, so you don't see the banner repeatedly.
