2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device, including a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to collect information about how the site is used. Cookies do not typically identify you as an individual but are associated with your device or browser.
Similar technologies, including pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage objects, may also be used for comparable purposes and are covered by this policy.
3. Categories of Cookies Used
The Genting Casino Reading website uses the following categories of cookies:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the core operation of the website. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and session management. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through the on-site cookie management tools.
3.2 Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you have previously made, such as language preferences or display settings. They are used to provide a more consistent experience when you return to the site. These cookies may be set directly by the website or by third-party providers whose services are integrated into the pages.
3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance and analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited most frequently and whether users encounter error messages. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. This information is used to assess and improve the performance and structure of the website.
3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
Marketing and targeting cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that are relevant to your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times a particular advertisement is shown and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies may be set by third-party advertising networks with the permission of the website operator.

Optional cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies, are not set before you have had the opportunity to make a choice. The option to reject optional cookies is presented with equal prominence to the option to accept them.
Your consent preferences are recorded and applied to your subsequent visits. You may update your preferences at any time using the cookie management tool available in the footer of the website.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Genting Casino Reading website are set by third-party services used to support website functionality, analytics, and advertising.

Restricting or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without impairing core site operations.
Browser settings must be adjusted separately for each browser and each device you use. For guidance on managing cookies in a specific browser, refer to the help section of that browser.
