What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Both types of cookies can be first-party (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a different domain).
SlapMax uses cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and pixel tags) to recognise your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how you use our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Cookies We Use
The following table describes the categories of cookies used on SlapMax, their purpose, retention period, and whether they are required for the site to function.
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site functionality, security, and session management | Session | Yes |
| Analytics | Google Analytics — traffic analysis and user behaviour insights | 2 years | No |
| Marketing | Affiliate tracking and referral attribution for casino partners | 30 days | No |

Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and session management. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly, and they cannot be disabled.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are set in response to actions you take on the site, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Analytics cookies collect information about pages visited, time spent on the site, how you arrived at the site, and what you click on. All data is anonymised and aggregated — we cannot identify individual users from analytics data.
Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga (expires after 2 years) and _ga_* (expires after 2 years) to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Marketing Cookies
As an affiliate marketing platform, we use marketing cookies to track when a user clicks on a casino link and subsequently registers or makes a deposit. These cookies are set by our affiliate partners and casino operators and are used solely for referral attribution purposes.
Marketing cookies typically have a 30-day retention period. They enable our partners to recognise that you were referred by SlapMax, which is how we earn commission to fund our free content. These cookies do not track your broader browsing activity across the internet.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies enable the website to remember information that changes the way the site behaves or looks. This includes your preferred theme (dark or light mode), language selection, and other display preferences you have set.
These cookies are retained for up to one year. If you clear these cookies, your preferences will be reset to default values on your next visit.
How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find cookie settings under "Privacy" or "Security" in your browser's preferences or settings menu. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
Please note that disabling or blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are strictly necessary for the site to operate. If you block all cookies, some features of SlapMax may not work as intended.
