Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember who you are, what you prefer, and how you interact with a page from one visit to the next. At FatPirate Casino, we take a straightforward approach to cookies — we use them responsibly, only where they serve a genuine purpose, and always with your privacy in mind. This policy explains clearly what we deploy, why we do it, and the choices available to you.
Why We Use Cookies at FatPirate Casino
Running a casino platform reliably requires more behind the scenes than most players realise. Cookies are a core part of keeping things working properly and securely — not a convenience, but a necessity for several fundamental functions.
When you log in to your account, a session cookie keeps you authenticated as you move between game pages, your account dashboard, and the cashier. Without it, you would effectively be logged out every time you clicked to a new section. That is not an experience we are willing to offer, and it is not one you should have to put up with.
Beyond login security, cookies allow us to remember your language and display preferences so we are not asking you to reconfigure things each time you return. They also play a role in maintaining uninterrupted gameplay during active sessions — if a game needs to verify your account state mid-session, cookies ensure that process happens seamlessly in the background rather than interrupting your play.
We also use cookies to understand how our platform performs in aggregate — where pages load slowly, where players tend to drop off, and where things are working well. This helps us make meaningful improvements over time. None of this is about tracking individuals; it is about making FatPirate Casino function the way it should for everyone using it.
In short, our use of cookies is practical and purposeful. We do not deploy them lightly, and we do not use them in ways that go beyond what is described in this policy.
Types of Cookies We Deploy
Below is a breakdown of the cookie categories active on FatPirate Casino, along with what each one does.
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function at a basic level. They cannot be switched off without breaking core features.
- Maintaining your logged-in session securely across pages
- Authenticating your identity during transactions and account access
- Preventing fraudulent or duplicate session activity
- Enabling access to restricted areas of the site once you have signed in
Because these are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable regulations — but we still believe you should know they exist.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with our platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where technical issues arise.
- Identifying pages with high exit rates or slow load times
- Monitoring overall site performance and uptime indicators
- Informing ongoing development and platform improvements
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies remember choices you make so your experience feels consistent across visits.
- Storing your language or regional display preference
- Remembering interface settings you have previously configured
- Reducing the need to repeat steps during your visit
Targeting / Advertising Cookies
These cookies help us understand which promotional content may be relevant to you, based on your interaction with our platform.
- Delivering bonus offers that reflect your activity on the site
- Limiting how frequently you see the same promotional message
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing activity
You can opt out of these cookies without affecting core site functionality.
Third-Party Cookies in iGaming
We do not operate entirely in isolation. Like most online casino platforms, FatPirate Casino works with trusted third-party partners whose services form part of the experience you have on our site. Some of these partners place their own cookies on your device when you interact with their services through our platform.
Our payment processing partners — which include secure cryptocurrency gateways handling transactions in BTC, ETH, and USDT — rely on cookies as part of their fraud prevention and transaction verification processes. When you make a deposit or withdrawal, these partners may set short-lived cookies to confirm the integrity of the transaction and protect against unauthorised activity. This is standard practice for secure digital payments, and their use of cookies in this context is governed by their own privacy policies as well as ours.
Game providers whose titles appear on our platform may also require cookies to load games correctly, maintain game state during a session, and ensure fair play protocols are functioning properly. These are functional in nature and are tied directly to the performance of the games themselves rather than any advertising or tracking purpose.
We only work with third parties whose data practices meet our standards. However, we do recommend reviewing the privacy policies of our payment and technology partners directly if you would like a full picture of how they handle data. Should you have specific questions about any third-party cookie activity on our platform, our support team is available to help.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
You have meaningful control over the cookies set on your device, and we make it straightforward to exercise that control.
When you first visit FatPirate Casino, a cookie consent banner will appear. From there, you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential categories, or customise your preferences by type. You can revisit these choices at any time — look for the cookie preference option within our site footer or privacy settings area.
If you prefer to manage cookies at the browser level, most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies directly through their settings. Here is where to look in common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
A word of caution: blocking or deleting essential cookies will affect how FatPirate Casino functions for you. Features like staying logged in, completing transactions, and accessing your account may not work correctly if these cookies are not present. We recommend only blocking non-essential categories if you want to preserve full site functionality.
To review your current preferences, you can manage your cookie settings directly on our platform.
Policy Updates and How to Contact Us
This cookie policy will be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or the way we operate our platform. When we make meaningful changes, we will update this page accordingly. We encourage you to check back from time to time so you remain informed about how we handle cookies.
Our broader approach to data handling is covered in our full privacy documentation. We recommend reading that alongside this policy for a complete picture — you can do so by visiting our Privacy Policy page.

We aim to respond within two minutes, so you will not be left waiting long for an answer. We are here to give you clear, straightforward responses — no runaround, no automated replies that miss the point.
