Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on skyward-deluxe.co.za, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your personal information more broadly.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They're stored in your browser and sent back to the website on future visits. Cookies help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and sometimes serve relevant content.
Cookies are not programs. They can't run code or carry viruses. But they can store information about your browsing behaviour, which is why we're telling you about them.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep this site working properly and to understand how visitors use it. We don't use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we don't use them to serve gambling advertisements directly.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, things like page navigation and security features won't work. You can't opt out of these, but they don't store any personally identifiable information.
- Session cookies that keep the site functioning during your visit
- Security cookies that help protect against cross-site request forgery
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how people find and use this site. This helps us improve our content and fix problems. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
- Google Analytics: tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, and device types. Google may process this data on servers outside South Africa. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as your cookie consent preference. They make your experience more consistent across visits.
- Cookie consent status: remembers whether you've accepted or declined non-essential cookies
Affiliate and Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link to a third-party gambling operator, that operator may set their own cookies on your device. These cookies allow the operator to track that you arrived via our referral, so we can receive a commission if you register.
We do not control these third-party cookies. Each operator's cookie policy governs how their cookies work. We recommend reading the cookie policy of any operator site you visit.
Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies that track you across other websites
- Social media tracking pixels on this site
- Cookies that collect sensitive personal information
- Cookies that identify you without your knowledge
How Long Cookies Last

|---|---|
| Session cookies | Deleted when you close your browser |
| Cookie consent preference | 12 months |
| Google Analytics | Up to 26 months (configurable) |
| Third-party affiliate cookies | Varies by operator (typically 30 to 90 days) |
Your Cookie Choices
