Cookies Policy
Last updated: July 20, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how HotlistCasino ("HotlistCasino", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, browser storage, and similar technologies when you visit hotlistcasino.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We also use local storage and session storage, which let the site retain information in your browser without placing a traditional cookie. In this policy, "cookies" includes these similar storage technologies unless we say otherwise.
What does HotlistCasino use?
| Name or category | Technology | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
NEXT_LOCALE | Cookie | Remembers your selected language and keeps navigation in that language. | Up to 1 year |
GEO_COUNTRY | Cookie | Stores a country code supplied by our network provider so we can present geographically relevant content. | Up to 24 hours |
hotlistcasino_cookie_consent | Local storage | Records when this browser accepted the cookie notice so the notice is not shown on every visit. | Until browser storage is cleared |
| Authentication token | Local storage | Keeps a signed-in user authenticated. It is created only when you sign in. | Until logout, expiry, or browser storage is cleared |
| Newsletter preferences | Local and session storage | Remembers whether you subscribed or postponed the newsletter prompt. | Session-only or until browser storage is cleared |
| Sentry anonymous identifier | Local storage | Helps distinguish affected browsers when diagnosing errors and measuring application stability. | Until browser storage is cleared |
For signed-in users, we may also store the date of cookie-notice acceptance in the user account. This allows the preference to be recognized across devices. That value is stored in our database rather than as a browser cookie.
Why do we use these technologies?
We use them to:
- keep the website secure, stable, and functioning correctly;
- remember language and basic display preferences;
- maintain authenticated sessions when users sign in;
- avoid repeatedly displaying notices and prompts;
- understand and fix technical errors; and
- present content that is relevant to a visitor's general country location.
Essential storage
Some browser storage is necessary to provide features you request, such as signing in, retaining your language choice, recording your cookie-notice response, and maintaining site security. Disabling this storage may prevent parts of the website from working as expected.
Diagnostics and error monitoring
We use Sentry to detect software errors, investigate failures, and monitor application stability. Diagnostic reports may include technical information such as browser and device type, page or route information, timestamps, IP-derived network information, and identifiers associated with an authenticated or anonymous session.
Sentry processes this information on our behalf as a service provider. We do not use Sentry diagnostics for advertising, and the site does not currently use Google Analytics or advertising cookies.
Geolocation
Our network provider may infer your country from your IP address and pass us a country code. We store that code temporarily in the GEO_COUNTRY cookie. We use it to tailor country-level content; we do not use this cookie to determine or store your precise location.
Affiliate links and third-party websites
HotlistCasino contains links to third-party casino and service websites. If you follow one of these links, the destination website may set its own cookies or use other tracking technologies under its own policies. We do not control third-party cookies. Review the destination website's privacy and cookie information before providing personal information or changing your preferences there.
How can you control cookies and browser storage?
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you clear local storage and session storage through privacy or site-data controls. Blocking or deleting storage may sign you out, reset your language or country preference, and cause notices or prompts to appear again.
The cookie notice records acceptance; the current site does not provide separate category toggles. You can still restrict or remove stored data through your browser controls. Where applicable law requires another choice, you may contact us using the details below.
How long do we retain information?
Cookie durations are listed above. Local-storage values remain until the site removes them, they expire through application logic, or you clear browser data. Account-level consent timestamps are retained while needed to document your preference and comply with legal obligations. Diagnostic information is retained according to our service-provider configuration and operational needs.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our technologies, services, or legal obligations change. The "Last updated" date at the top identifies the latest revision. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website.
