What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They're commonly used to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how people use a site. Our use of cookies is minimal and privacy-respecting.
What We Use
BestUK Browser Games Hub uses a combination of standard cookies and browser local storage. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party cookie services that identify you personally.
Essential Local Storage Items
These are required for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled:
- age-verified — Records that you have confirmed your age (18+). Without this, the age modal would appear on every visit.
- cookie-consent — Stores your response to the cookie consent banner so it doesn't appear on every page.
- bestuk-coins — Your virtual coin balance. Essential for game continuity between visits.
- bestuk-stats — Basic game statistics such as total sessions played and win counts. Used solely for display purposes on game pages.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
If you accept cookies, we may use privacy-friendly, anonymised analytics to understand overall site usage. This helps us improve the Platform. No personally identifiable information is collected and no data is shared with advertising networks.
How to Control Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that deleting local storage items will reset your virtual coin balance and game statistics. You can also decline analytics cookies when the consent banner appears without affecting your gameplay experience.
Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies:

Third-Party Cookies
We do not embed third-party advertising, social media tracking pixels, or analytics services that drop their own cookies on your device without your knowledge. External links to responsible gaming organisations (GambleAware, Gamblers Anonymous, NCPG) open in new tabs and are governed by those organisations' own privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
If we update how we use cookies, we will revise this page and update the "Last updated" date. Significant changes may be communicated via a banner on the site.
