Cookies are small text files a browser stores when you visit buffalogoldslotmachine.com, and this page explains which ones we use and why. Nothing here requires an account, so cookie use on this site is limited to a handful of functional and measurement purposes. Most visitors never need to think about any of this, but the detail sits here for anyone who wants it.
What Cookies Do
A cookie holds a small piece of information, such as a preference or an identifying code, that a site can read back on a later visit. On this site, that information stays limited to things like a consent choice, basic traffic measurement and affiliate referral tracking, never a full profile of who you are.
Why We Use Cookies at All
The short answer is that a handful of cookies make the site work better without asking much of the visitor in return. Storing a consent choice avoids repeating the same banner on every page, and knowing which articles get read helps decide what to update next, rather than guessing at what readers actually want.
Essential Cookies
A small set of cookies keeps the site working correctly, such as storing a cookie consent choice or a display preference during a single visit. These cookies do not track browsing activity elsewhere and cannot be switched off without affecting basic site function.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies record anonymised information about how visitors move through the site, including which pages are read and for how long. This data is reported in aggregate and is not used to identify an individual visitor. It mainly helps us decide which articles need a refresh and which ones already work well.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When a reader clicks through to a listed casino, a short-lived cookie records that the click originated from this site. This is how our affiliate partners know to credit the referral, and it has no effect on any account a reader later opens with that operator. The cookie carries no personal information beyond the fact that a click happened.
Cookie Duration
Some cookies on this site last only for the length of a single browsing session and disappear once the tab closes. Others, mainly analytics and affiliate tracking cookies, persist for a set period, typically between 30 days and 13 months, before expiring automatically.
Consent and Your Choices
A consent banner appears on a first visit, and choosing to decline non-essential cookies is respected for the rest of that session and on return visits until the choice is cleared. Changing your mind later takes only a few seconds through the same banner or your browser’s own privacy settings.
Managing Cookies
Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies through its own settings menu, and doing so will not prevent you from reading articles on this site. Disabling analytics or affiliate cookies may mean our traffic reports slightly undercount your visit, but the page content stays fully accessible either way.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge each store cookie controls under a privacy or site settings menu, usually reachable from the browser’s main settings page. The exact wording varies by browser and version, but searching the browser name alongside “clear cookies” reliably turns up the current steps if the menu location has moved since an update.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third parties, including our analytics provider and affiliate network, rather than by us directly. Each of those providers publishes its own cookie and privacy information, and we link to those policies wherever a third-party script runs on the page.
