What cookies mean on this site
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. It helps the site remember your preferences and recognise you on return visits. On boomerang.org.gr, cookies serve a straightforward purpose: keeping the portal usable and letting us understand which content resonates with readers. We don't collect personal data through cookies unless you provide it directly—say, via a contact form—and even then, it stays separate from the cookie mechanism itself.
Boomerang operates as an independent review and information site; it is not a casino operator. The cookies we set relate solely to your interaction with this portal, not to any gaming activity or account you might hold elsewhere.
Cookies this portal sets
We use a small number of cookies to keep the site functional and to measure how visitors engage with our pages. Here's what lands on your device and why:
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, remembering your cookie consent choice | Session ID, consent flag |
| Analytics | Visitor counts, page views, bounce rates—aggregate data only | Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) |
| Advertising | Affiliate tracking, conversion pixels from third-party ad networks | DoubleClick, Facebook Pixel |
Necessary cookies run automatically; they're what keep the site secure and responsive. You can't disable them without breaking core functionality. Analytics and advertising cookies require your consent—the banner you see on your first visit asks for exactly that permission.
How long cookies last
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period—typically between 30 days and two years—so the site can recognise you next time. Analytics cookies usually persist for up to 24 months; advertising cookies for 90 days or until you clear your browser data, whichever comes first.
Third-party scripts and embedded content
Some pages on boomerang.org.gr include content served by third parties: analytics tools, social-media widgets, embedded videos. Each of these may set its own cookies, governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than ours. Google Analytics, for instance, tracks aggregate visitor patterns; Facebook or Twitter widgets may place cookies if you're logged into those platforms.
We don't control what those third parties do with the data their cookies collect. If you'd rather not have them track your activity, adjust your browser settings or use a privacy-focused extension such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you block, delete or restrict cookies. The steps vary slightly, but the principle stays the same: head to your browser's settings, find the privacy or cookies section, and choose your preferences. Here's where to look in the most common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Blocking all cookies will likely break parts of the site—login sessions won't persist, and you'll see the consent banner on every visit. Blocking only third-party cookies strikes a reasonable balance: the portal itself works fine, while external trackers stay out.
What happens if you decline optional cookies
The site remains fully usable. You'll still see all articles, tables and guidance; you simply won't contribute anonymous analytics data, and affiliate pixels won't fire. We won't know which pages get the most attention, but that's a trade-off you're entitled to make.
Changes to this policy
We update this text whenever our cookie practices change—adding a new analytics provider, removing an old script, clarifying an ambiguous line. The revised version appears here immediately, with the date below marking the most recent edit. We won't email you about routine updates, so check back if you're curious.
Questions or concerns
If something here isn't clear, or you'd like detail on a specific cookie, write to [email protected]. We'll respond within 48 hours.
