Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how villento-casino.it.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit the Site. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits, store your preferences, and collect information about how you use the site. Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage — work in comparable ways.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure access, and load balancing. The Site cannot work properly without them, and you cannot opt out of essential cookies through our consent banner.
- Session cookies — expire when you close your browser
- Security tokens — used to prevent fraud and abuse
2.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are most popular, how long people stay, what the traffic sources are. This data is collected in aggregate and helps us improve the editorial product.
- Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager (_ga, _gid, _gat) — typical retention 24 months
2.3 Marketing & Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used by our affiliate partners to track click-throughs from the Site to operator pages, so that any commission can be attributed correctly. They do not collect your name, email, or banking information.

2.4 Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your choices on the Site, such as language preference or whether you have dismissed a notification banner. They improve the user experience but are not strictly necessary.
