This page explains how cookies work on i-c-r.org.uk, the site you are reading now rather than any operator's own platform. If you came here from our coverage of Lizaro casino, this notice covers only what our portal itself stores in your browser while you read that content.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file a website places in your browser so it can recognise you on your next visit, or remember a choice you made on this one. We use them the way most editorial sites do: to keep the site working properly, to understand roughly which pages get read, and occasionally to support advertising that helps fund independent content like ours. None of this gives us access to any casino account you hold elsewhere, and none of it is shared with the operators we write about.
The categories we set
- Necessary cookies – keep basic site functions working, such as navigation and page loading; these cannot be switched off through our banner.
- Analytics cookies (consent-based) – tell us which pages are read and for how long, in aggregate, never tied to your name or email.
- Marketing and advertising cookies (consent-based) – support any advertising shown alongside our content.
- Preference cookies – remember small choices, such as a language setting, between visits.
What is stored and for how long
Necessary cookies typically last only for your browsing session, or a short period afterwards, and exist purely to keep pages functioning. Analytics and preference cookies tend to persist for longer – commonly a matter of weeks to a couple of years, depending on the specific script that set them – so that a returning visitor's browser is recognised without asking for consent again on every page. We do not fix a single retention period across every cookie type, because that depends on the underlying script rather than on us.
Embedded third parties
Some scripts on this site come from outside providers we use for analytics or for the advertising that helps keep the portal free to read. These third parties may set their own cookies once their script runs in your browser, under their own privacy terms rather than ours. We do not control what a third-party script does once it loads, so if you want to see exactly what one of them stores, its own cookie or privacy notice is the accurate source – ours can only describe what we ask it to do, not audit it line by line.
Declining without breaking the site
You can decline analytics and marketing cookies through the consent banner shown on your first visit, and change that choice later by clearing your cookies and reloading the page. Declining them does not stop you reading anything on i-c-r.org.uk – the pages, tables and figures we publish about Lizaro and other brands remain fully available either way. Turning off necessary cookies at browser level, however, can occasionally break navigation or page layout, since those are the ones the site relies on to function at all.
Managing cookies in your browser
- Open your browser's settings menu (Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge all label this slightly differently, usually under "Privacy" or "Cookies").
- Find the section listing site data or cookies stored by websites you have visited.
- Search for i-c-r.org.uk specifically, or clear cookies site-by-site if your browser allows it.
- Remove or block the entries you no longer want, then reload this site to reset your consent choices.
Updates to this policy
We may revise this cookie policy if the scripts we use change, or if the categories above need adjusting. Any update will appear on this page with a new date, and we would encourage a periodic re-read if you visit regularly rather than treating this as a one-time read. This site is intended for readers aged 18+ only, in line with the responsible-gambling framing that runs across the rest of the portal.
Questions about this policy can be sent to [email protected]. This notice was last reviewed in 2026.
You must be 18 or over (18+) to use this site. Support with gambling is free and confidential at BeGambleAware.org.
