Cookie Policy

This page explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on iGaming Operators. The site relies on essential local browser storage for account flow and consent memory. Cookieless, first-party analytics runs on every visit regardless of that choice; choosing “Accept all” only adds a persistent identifier so we can recognise you as a returning visitor.

What we use today

Name Type Purpose
igops_cookie_prefs_v1 Local storage Stores your cookie preference so the site remembers whether you accepted optional analytics or selected necessary-only.
igo_attr Cookie Records first-touch marketing attribution (UTM parameters, referrer, and landing page) from your first visit, so we know which channel brought you here. Set for 90 days.
waitlist_landing_page Local storage Remembers the first landing page associated with an account flow.
waitlist_first_seen_at Local storage Stores the first time the current browser started an account session.
waitlist_submission_count Local storage Helps identify repeated account or contact submissions from the same browser.
waitlist_modal_opened_at Local storage Used to measure form completion timing and reduce spam or bot submissions.
igops_vid Local storage Anonymous visitor identifier for our own first-party analytics. Created only if you choose “Accept all”, and removed if you withdraw consent. Never shared with third parties or used for cross-site tracking.
Daily IP hash Server-side — not stored in your browser Cookieless first-party analytics (page views, clicks, scroll depth, engaged time, referrer, device/browser/OS and country) that runs on every visit, regardless of your cookie choice. Nothing is written to your browser for this; each visit is tied only to a one-way hash of your IP address that rotates every day, so it cannot identify you or be used to follow you from one day to the next.

Strictly necessary vs optional

  • Necessary storage is used to keep the site and account flow working, preserve your consent choice, and support basic abuse prevention.
  • Cookieless, first-party analytics runs on every visit, for every visitor, regardless of your cookie choice — it stores nothing in your browser and identifies visits only by a one-way hash of your IP address that rotates daily (see “Daily IP hash” above). This is what lets the site measure traffic without a cookie banner.
  • What “Accept all” actually controls is narrower: it lets us set the persistent igops_vid identifier described above, so we can recognise you as a returning visitor across days. Choosing “Necessary only” — or withdrawing consent later — simply means that identifier is never created, or is deleted if it already was; the cookieless analytics above keeps running either way.
  • If optional analytics tools are added later, this page should be updated to list them more specifically.

How to manage cookies

You can change your choice at any time by using the “Cookie settings” control shown on the site. You can also clear local browser storage in your browser settings.

Blocking or clearing necessary storage may affect parts of the account flow or your saved preferences.
