Smokos Cookie Policy
How we use cookies across our site, and how you can manage them.
Our Smokos Cookie Policy, Straight Up
This Smokos cookie policy explains how we use small data files, known as cookies, when you visit our pages. We keep this explanation plain and simple, because a cookie notice full of jargon helps nobody. Whether you're checking out our pokies pages or reading about our promotions, cookies are quietly working in the background of your browser.
We use cookies to remember basic choices you make on our site, to understand which pages get visited, and to keep things running smoothly from one visit to the next. None of this involves anything mysterious — it's the same sort of technology used across the web by sites of every kind, not just ours. We think it's fair that you know what's happening, so we've laid it out below in the same straightforward tone we use everywhere else on our site.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that your browser stores when you visit a website. It doesn't run programs, and it can't reach into your device to find personal files. Its job is narrow: it holds a small piece of information, like a preference or a session marker, so the site can recognise your browser on a return visit.
Some cookies exist only for the length of your visit and disappear once you close your browser tab. Others stick around longer, so that settings you chose are still there next time you drop by. We use a mix of both kinds, depending on what the particular function needs to remember and for how long.
Why We Rely on Them
Cookies help our pages load in the right order, keep basic settings consistent, and give us a general sense of which parts of the site get used. That feedback matters to us because it shapes what we build next, whether that's tidying up navigation or making sure our mobile casino pages behave properly on smaller screens. We don't use cookies to build detailed profiles of who you are outside our site.
Do cookies store my personal details?
Cookies on our site are mainly technical in nature — they help pages function and remember simple preferences. We don't use them to collect sensitive personal information, and any data handling beyond that is covered separately in our privacy documentation.
Can I turn cookies off?
Yes. Every modern browser gives you controls to block or delete cookies, usually somewhere in its privacy or security settings. Turning them off entirely may mean some parts of our site don't remember your preferences between visits, but the core pages will still load.
Do you share cookie data with anyone else?
Where a cookie relates to a third-party feature embedded in our pages, that third party may set its own cookie under its own terms. We don't control those separately, so we'd point you to that provider's own policy for specifics.
Will this policy change over time?
It might, as our site and the tools we use evolve. We'll keep this page updated so it always reflects what's actually happening when you visit, rather than leaving old information sitting here.
Types of Cookies You Might Encounter
Not every cookie does the same job, so it helps to know the rough categories. Some are strictly necessary, meaning the page wouldn't function properly without them — think of these as the wiring behind basic navigation. Others are about preference, remembering a small setting like whether you dismissed a banner, so you're not asked again on your next page load.
A further category relates to performance and analytics, which gives us a general picture of traffic patterns without identifying you personally. If our site ever embeds third-party content, such as a widget or video player, that third party may set its own cookie as well, governed by its own separate policy. We recommend checking a provider's own documentation if you want detail beyond what falls under our control.
Taking Control of Your Browser Settings
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings menu, usually filed under privacy or security. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject them outright, or ask to be prompted every time a site tries to set one — the choice is entirely yours to make.
If you're exploring our payment methods pages or checking what our mobile casino experience looks like, keep in mind that blocking certain cookies may affect how smoothly those pages remember your preferences. That's a trade-off worth knowing about before you switch everything off.

Our cookie policy sits alongside our other legal pages, rather than standing apart from them. If you're after detail on how we handle personal information more broadly, that's covered in our privacy policy, while our terms set out the wider rules for using our site. This page focuses narrowly on cookies themselves.
We'd also point out that this policy is about the technical side of browsing, not about gameplay itself. If you're curious about what live casino at Smokos looks like, or want a general sense of our live dealer offering, those pages are the better place to look — this one stays focused on cookies alone.
Cookies are a small, unglamorous part of how the web works, but being upfront about them matters to us. We'd rather explain plainly than bury it in fine print nobody reads. If anything here isn't clear, treat this page as the starting point and reach out through the channels listed elsewhere on our site.
A Quick Word on Staying in Control
Cookie settings are just one part of staying comfortable with how you browse online, generally speaking. We'd always encourage checking your browser's privacy controls regularly, not just on our site but anywhere you spend time. It's a habit that keeps you informed rather than caught off guard.
If you'd like to see what else we offer beyond this policy, our homepage is the natural next stop, and it links through to everything from our games pages to our promotions. This cookie policy will keep being updated as needed, so it stays an honest reflection of how our site actually works.
