What This Website Stores
This website is for reading only. It has no user accounts, takes no payments and does not use analytics or advertising cookies, so browsing its pages does not ask you to accept any tracking. Everything described below applies once you follow a link to LEON's platform, where your account, deposits and games are handled.
Cookies in Plain Terms
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser. The next time your browser loads a page from the same site, it sends the file back, which lets the site recognise the visit. That is how a site keeps you signed in while you move between pages, remembers that you prefer a certain language or odds format, or counts how many people opened a page. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in much the same way, and this policy covers them too.
The Four Categories in Use
LEON's terms name three core uses for cookies: keeping your session authenticated, remembering your preferred language and analysing site traffic. Around those, cookies on the LEON Casino platform fall into four groups, and each one has a different job:
| Category | What it does | Can you switch it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in, holds your session securely and makes forms and payments work | No — the platform cannot work without it |
| Performance and analytics | Counts visits and measures how pages load and where errors occur, so problems can be found and fixed | Yes |
| Functionality | Remembers your preferred language | Yes, but that choice will be forgotten |
| Advertising and targeting | Measures campaigns and shows offers that match your interests on other sites | Yes — only used with your consent |
Session and Persistent Cookies
Cookies also differ in how long they stay on your device. Session cookies disappear as soon as you close the browser; they are typically used to hold a login or the contents of a form while you are on the site. Persistent cookies stay for a set period so that the site can recognise you on a later visit. That period is not the same for every cookie, and your browser deletes each one automatically when its expiry date arrives, or earlier if you clear it yourself.
Advertising Cookies Need Your Consent
Advertising and targeting cookies are the category most people care about, so the rule on LEON's platform is simple: they are only placed with your consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting your account. Turning them off does not remove advertising from the internet; it means the ads you see are no longer tailored using information from your visits to LEON.
Cookies From Game Providers and Analytics
Some cookies are not set by LEON itself. Casino games are supplied by external studios, and many of them need their own cookies to load a game, keep your session stable and record results correctly. Analytics services that LEON uses on its platform set cookies to produce the visit statistics described above. These third-party cookies are part of making the platform work, and they are covered by the same categories and controls as our own.
Who Else Receives Cookie Data
Cookie information is not sold. It is shared only within a verified network of partners — the game providers, analytics services and, where you have consented, advertising partners that work with us — and only for the purpose each of them serves. This is a limit on who receives the data, not a promise that it never leaves us: it does not go to unrelated third parties outside that network.
Before You Block Everything
Your browser lets you block all cookies, but be aware of what that means on LEON's platform. Blocking strictly necessary cookies logs you out of your LEON account and stops you from logging in again, and features such as deposits, bonus pages and some games may stop working. Blocking only optional categories keeps the site usable. If you want more privacy without losing access, decline the optional categories and clear your cookies when you finish playing, rather than block everything. Blocking third-party cookies in the browser can also stop some games from loading.
Managing Cookies in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge
You are always in control of what your browser stores. Menu names change slightly between versions, but the controls sit in these places:
- Google Chrome: open Settings and choose Privacy and security. There you can block third-party cookies, delete browsing data, and use site settings to manage permissions for a single website.
- Safari: on a Mac, open Safari's Settings and choose Privacy to manage website data or block all cookies. On an iPhone or iPad, the same options are in the Safari section of the Settings app.
- Mozilla Firefox: open Settings and choose Privacy & Security. The Cookies and Site Data section lets you clear data or manage it per site, and Enhanced Tracking Protection sets how strictly trackers are blocked.
- Microsoft Edge: open Settings and choose Cookies and site permissions to manage and delete cookies and site data, or Privacy, search, and services to clear browsing data and set tracking prevention.
On a phone, these menus are usually reached through the three-dot or settings icon of the browser app. If you share a device with others, sign out when you finish and clear cookies for the site, so the next person cannot open your account.
Changes to This Policy
When this policy changes, the updated version is published on this page with a new effective date. If a change is significant, for example a new category of cookie, you will see a notice the next time you log in to your LEON account.
