Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Elite Royale Empire (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on eliteroyalempire.com (the “Site”). It supplements our Privacy Policy and is intended for visitors in the United Kingdom. By continuing to use the Site after reviewing applicable notices, you acknowledge the practices described here subject to your choices and applicable law.
What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that store or access information on your device. Together these technologies can remember preferences between pages or visits, maintain security, reduce friction for returning visitors, and—where lawfully deployed with consent—help measure how pages perform.
Legal framework
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as interpreted alongside UK GDPR and guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office, certain cookies and similar technologies require consent before they are set or read on your device, unless they are strictly necessary for delivering a service explicitly requested by you or another exemption applies. We classify technologies accordingly and align our cookie banner options with these rules.
Types of technologies we use
- Strictly necessary: technologies required for core Site functions such as security hardening, load balancing markers where applicable, maintaining network session integrity, or remembering that you completed the age verification gate for the duration of a browser session so we do not repeatedly interrupt browsing with the same prompt.
- Functional preferences: technologies that remember choices you expressed through our cookie controls or related UI elements so we do not ask you to repeat the same decisions unnecessarily on subsequent visits, where such processing is compatible with necessary delivery of the Site experience you requested.
- Non-essential analytics or performance: we seek to minimise these. Where any analytics or measurement tools process personal data or require consent under PECR, we will describe them here with retention periods and provide appropriate consent mechanisms before activation. If none are listed, none are active beyond strictly necessary technologies required to operate the Site version you are viewing.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by the Site’s domain. Third-party cookies are set by another domain—such as an embedded service—and may read information across sites if your browser allows. We limit third-party exposure where feasible. When you follow outbound links to operators, those third parties set their own cookies under their policies.
Your choices and controls
Where required, you can accept or reject non-essential categories using the Site’s cookie banner controls. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings (typically found under privacy or security menus). Removing or blocking cookies may affect Site behaviour: strictly necessary cookies support essential functionality, and blocking them may prevent certain features from operating correctly. Browser “private” or “incognito” modes may clear session cookies when the window closes.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. There is no uniform legal standard requiring a specific technical response in the United Kingdom; we currently treat consent through our banner and browser controls as the primary mechanism for exercising choice regarding non-essential technologies.
Retention periods
Session cookies generally expire when you close all browser windows for that session. Persistent cookies remain for a defined lifespan unless deleted earlier. Exact names, providers, lifetimes, and purposes for each active cookie category will be listed or updated in implementation notes on this page when non-essential tools are enabled. Administrative changes to hosting or security stacks may rotate cookie names while preserving equivalent purposes.
Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we change technologies, legal requirements, or vendor arrangements. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised explanation of technologies in operation, subject to your renewed consent where consent is legally required for new non-essential processing.
