Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy and explains the small set of cookies and similar storage mechanisms used on shieldedbonushub.world. We keep this list deliberately short and review it every quarter.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. "Local storage" is a related technology that works similarly but without being sent on every request. We mention both because we use both, and because UK Information Commissioner's Office guidance treats them under the same consent rules.

The cookies we set

Essential — no consent required

• shb_cookie_consent_v1 — local storage entry that remembers whether you accepted or declined the cookie banner. No personal data; the value is simply "accept" or "decline". Persists until you clear browser storage.

Analytics — set only with your consent

• Fathom Analytics — privacy-focused analytics that does not use cross-site identifiers, fingerprinting or advertising cookies. Records page paths, referrer, country-level location and aggregate device type. Configured to comply with UK GDPR without setting any third-party cookies.

Cookies set by other websites

When you click a "Claim Shielded Offer" link we hand you off to a UKGC-licensed operator. Those operators run their own cookies and tracking technologies once you land on their site. We have no control over those cookies — they are governed by the destination operator's own privacy and cookie notices, which we encourage you to read.

Managing your choices

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser; the consent banner will reappear on your next visit. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their privacy settings.

Do Not Track

Our analytics tooling honours global "Do Not Track" signals where your browser sends them. If you have DNT enabled, no analytics cookie or event will be sent regardless of your banner choice.

Changes

If we add or remove cookies, this page will be updated and the consent banner will be re-shown to existing visitors so that consent remains genuine and informed.
