- Introduction
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Amusement City Casino and is directed at users accessing the site from Ireland. It explains what cookies are, which types of cookies are used, what information is collected through cookies, and how users may manage or withdraw their consent.
This document forms part of the broader data protection framework maintained by Amusement City Casino and should be read alongside the Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Amusement City Casino website after being presented with a cookie consent notice, users acknowledge that they have read and understood this policy.
- What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user’s device, including computers, tablets, and mobile phones, when that user visits a website. Cookies allow the website to recognise whether the device has visited before and to collect information about how the site is used.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other information stored on a user’s device beyond what is placed by the website or authorised third parties.
- Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Amusement City Casino operates in compliance with applicable Irish and European Union data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Regulations as implemented in Ireland. Under this framework, certain cookies require the user’s prior informed consent before being placed on their device. Other cookies, classified as strictly necessary, may be placed without consent as they are essential to the functioning of the website.
All websites operating in Ireland are required to comply with cookie-related laws and regulations. Amusement City Casino meets these obligations through a consent management mechanism presented to users upon their first visit to the site.
- Categories of Cookies Used
Amusement City Casino uses the following categories of cookies:
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the basic operation of the Amusement City Casino website. They enable core functions such as secure browsing, page delivery, session management, and access to restricted areas of the site. These cookies cannot be disabled through the consent management tool, as the website cannot function properly without them.
4.2 Analytical and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how users interact with the Amusement City Casino website, including which pages are visited most frequently and whether users encounter error messages. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. This information is used solely to improve the performance and structure of the website.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices made by the user, such as language preferences or previously entered information, in order to provide a more consistent experience across sessions. These cookies do not track browsing activity on other websites.
4.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be placed by Amusement City Casino or by authorised third-party services to track user activity across sessions and, where applicable, across other websites. They are used to deliver content relevant to the user’s interaction with the site. In the context of online casino and betting services, such cookies may also be used to track referral sessions and to determine eligibility for specific conditions tied to user activity.
Users who do not consent to marketing cookies will not have these cookies placed on their device. Existing marketing cookies will be blocked or disabled upon withdrawal of consent.
- Third-Party Cookies
Amusement City Casino may permit authorised third-party service providers to place cookies on users’ devices through the website. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and affiliate tracking services. Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties.
Amusement City Casino does not control the content or operation of third-party cookies beyond the consent framework applied at the point of collection. Users are advised to review the cookie policies of any third-party services they interact with through the Amusement City Casino website.
- Consent Management
Upon first visiting the Amusement City Casino website, users are presented with a cookie consent banner. This banner provides the following options:
- Allow all cookies
- Allow necessary cookies only
- Manage cookie preferences
Users may select their preferred option at the time of first visit. Consent is recorded and applied to subsequent visits from the same device and browser.
Users may change their cookie preferences at any time by accessing the Cookie Management link located in the footer of the Amusement City Casino website. This link opens a preference centre where individual cookie categories may be enabled or disabled.
Withdrawal of consent for a specific cookie category will result in those cookies being blocked or disabled. This applies to both cookies set directly by Amusement City Casino and to third-party cookies served through the site.
- Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings
In addition to the on-site consent management tool, users may control cookie placement and retention through their web browser settings. Most browsers allow users to:
- Accept or refuse all cookies
- Delete cookies that have already been stored
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block third-party cookies independently of first-party cookies
The method for managing cookies varies by browser. Users should consult the help documentation of their specific browser for instructions. General information about cookies and browser-level controls is available through publicly accessible resources such as allaboutcookies.org.
Disabling certain cookies through browser settings may affect the functionality of the Amusement City Casino website, including access to features that depend on session or preference data.
- Cookie Retention Periods
The retention period of cookies placed on a user’s device varies by cookie type and purpose. Strictly necessary cookies are typically session-based and are deleted when the browser is closed. Analytical, functional, and marketing cookies may persist for a defined period following the user’s last interaction with the site.
Specific retention periods for each cookie category are detailed in the cookie preference centre accessible through the Amusement City Casino website footer.

Amusement City Casino reserves the right to update this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or the cookies used on the website.
