Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Gamblezen uses cookies and similar technologies on amberon.co.uk, what information they collect, and how you can control them. We keep this straightforward: cookies help the site remember your preferences and understand how visitors use it, but you remain in control of what runs in your browser.
What a cookie does here
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It allows the site to recognise your browser on return visits, remember settings you've chosen, and measure how the site is used. Cookies do not access other files on your device, and they cannot run programmes or deliver viruses.
We use cookies for three purposes: keeping the site working properly, understanding which pages and features are most useful, and personalising content based on your activity. Some are essential to basic functions like navigation and security; others help us improve the experience over time.
Which ones this site sets
The cookies amberon.co.uk places fall into a few categories, and the table below shows what each type does and how long it lasts.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security checks, load balancing | Session or up to 24 hours |
| Analytics | Page views, time on site, navigation paths | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Language choice, layout settings | Up to 1 year |
| Marketing | Ad delivery, frequency capping, conversion tracking | Up to 13 months |
Necessary cookies run automatically and cannot be turned off without breaking core site functions. The rest require your consent, given through the banner that appears on your first visit.
Third-party scripts and services
Some cookies are set by services we embed rather than by amberon.co.uk directly. Analytics platforms, advertising networks and content delivery systems each place their own cookies when their scripts load on a page you visit. We choose which third parties to work with, but we do not control the cookies they set or the data they collect once their code runs in your browser.
The third-party services currently active on this site include Google Analytics for traffic measurement, advertising partners for campaign tracking, and hosting infrastructure for content delivery. Each operates under its own privacy policy, and the links to those policies appear in our main privacy notice.
Turning them off in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either across all sites or for specific domains. The steps differ slightly by browser, but the principle is the same: open settings, find the privacy or content section, and adjust the cookie controls.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → choose your blocking level or manage exceptions by site.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → set Enhanced Tracking Protection to Strict, or use Custom to block specific types.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies, or choose "Prevent cross-site tracking" to limit third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies → block all or block third-party only.
Deleting cookies clears them from your device immediately; blocking them prevents new ones from being set. Both actions apply from the moment you save the setting. Be aware that blocking necessary cookies will stop some site features from working — you may find yourself logged out repeatedly, or unable to save preferences between visits.
Your consent and what breaks without it
When you first arrive at amberon.co.uk, a banner asks whether you accept cookies beyond the necessary ones. Clicking "Accept" allows analytics and marketing cookies to run; clicking "Reject" or closing the banner blocks them while keeping the site functional.
If you reject non-essential cookies, the site will still load and you can read all content, follow links, and reach the contact form. What will not work: personalised content suggestions, accurate traffic reports that help us improve layout and navigation, and some embedded media from third-party platforms. Necessary cookies remain active regardless of your choice, because they handle session security and load distribution.
You can change your mind at any time by clearing your cookies in the browser and revisiting the site, which brings the consent banner back.
When this policy changes
We update this policy when we add or remove third-party services, when cookie lifespans change, or when regulations require new disclosures. The date at the bottom of this page shows the last revision. Significant changes — like a new category of cookie or a new third party handling personal data — will be flagged in the consent banner on your next visit, giving you a fresh opportunity to accept or decline.
Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. If a change is not acceptable to you, the remedy is to block cookies in your browser settings or stop visiting the site.

Questions about how cookies work on this site, or requests to know which specific cookies were set during your visit, can be sent to [email protected]. We respond within 48 hours on working days.
