This Cookie Notice provides a complete list of cookie categories used by Fortunica Casino, their legal basis, purpose, duration, and how to manage them. Fortunica is operated by Winstar N.V. under Curaçao Gaming Authority Licence No. 8048/JAZ.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Fortunica uses cookies under two legal bases. Strictly necessary cookies are used under legitimate interests — they are essential to the service and cannot be meaningfully opted out of. All other cookie categories (functional, analytics, marketing) are used under consent, which you provide via the cookie banner on your first visit or through browser settings. Consent can be withdrawn at any time by adjusting browser settings or returning to the cookie preference panel.
First-Party Cookies (Set by Fortunica)
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Strictly necessary | Maintains your login session across page loads | Session |
| csrf_token | Strictly necessary | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| auth_remember | Functional | Stores "remember me" login state | 30 days |
| ui_lang | Functional | Stores your language preference | 12 months |
| rg_ack | Functional | Records responsible gaming message acknowledgement | 12 months |
| _ft_analytics | Analytics | Aggregated site usage data | 24 months |
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are set by external services Fortunica uses for payment processing, analytics, and affiliate tracking. Fortunica does not control the specific content of third-party cookies. Key third-party cookie sources: payment processor session cookies (set on payment gateway pages, deleted after transaction); affiliate attribution cookies (set on first visit from a referral source, last 30–90 days); and analytics provider cookies (aggregate traffic measurement, 24-month duration).
Managing Consent
Cookie consent at Fortunica is managed through three channels: the cookie consent banner on first visit, which allows per-category selection; the Fortunica cookie preference centre, accessible via the site footer; and browser-level settings, which override all site-specific consent settings. Adjusting consent through the browser is the most comprehensive option — it controls cookies at the browser level regardless of the site's preference centre settings.
Browser-Specific Instructions
To manage cookies in major browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data → manage per site or block all third-party
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → choose Standard, Strict, or Custom
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data; or Settings → Safari on iOS
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent login and account access. Blocking only third-party cookies (the default "Strict" setting in Firefox and some Chrome configurations) affects analytics and affiliate attribution but not account functionality.
Updates to This Notice
Fortunica updates this Cookie Notice when new cookie types are introduced or existing ones change. The current version and its effective date are published on the Fortunica site. Material changes are communicated via the registered account email. Continued use of the site after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated notice.
FAQ
Strictly necessary cookies are used under legitimate interests — they are essential to service delivery. Functional, analytics, and marketing cookies are used under consent, provided via the cookie consent banner. Consent for optional cookies can be withdrawn at any time through browser settings.
The session_id cookie maintains your logged-in state across page loads. Without it, you would be logged out every time you navigate to a new page. It is a strictly necessary cookie and cannot be disabled without preventing account access. It is deleted when you close the browser.
No. Fortunica's marketing cookies track only the referral source that brought you to the Fortunica site and are active only during your Fortunica session or for up to 90 days post-referral. They are not cross-site tracking cookies and do not follow your activity on other websites.
Firefox's Strict mode blocks third-party cookies by default, which disables analytics and affiliate attribution cookies. Strictly necessary first-party cookies (session_id, csrf_token) are not affected and login continues to function normally. Strict mode in Firefox is compatible with Fortunica account access.
The Fortunica cookie preference centre is accessible via the cookie notice link in the site footer. It allows per-category cookie selection — you can accept strictly necessary only, or selectively enable functional, analytics, and marketing categories. Your preferences are stored in the ui_lang and related functional cookies.
