Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, which ones ourturnmoss.org uses, why, and how you can control or disable them.

Last updated: July 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit. They let the site remember things between pages and visits — for example, whether you've already dismissed a notice — and help the site owner understand how the site is used. Similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and tracking parameters work in comparable ways, and where we say "cookies" in this policy we mean those too. Cookies are "first-party" when set by ourturnmoss.org, and "third-party" when set by another company (such as an analytics provider or an affiliate network).

Types of cookies we use

1. Essential cookies

These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They do things like remember your cookie-consent choice, keep the site secure, and enable basic navigation. Because they're strictly necessary, they don't require consent, but you can still block them in your browser (parts of the site may then not work correctly).

2. Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use ourturnmoss.org — which pages are popular, how people arrive, and where the site could be improved. They collect information in aggregate, such as page views, session duration and approximate location from IP. We use this only to measure and improve the site. Analytics cookies are optional and are set based on your consent where required.

3. Affiliate-tracking cookies

These are how ourturnmoss.org earns the commissions that keep the site free. When you click an affiliate link to an operator, a cookie or tracking parameter records that the click came from ourturnmoss.org. If you then sign up or deposit with that operator, the affiliate network reads that record and credits the referral to us. These cookies typically store an anonymous click ID and the referring source; they do not need your name or payment details. They are optional where consent is required.

How affiliate cookies work — in plain terms

Think of an affiliate cookie as a receipt that says "this visitor came from ourturnmoss.org." When you click through to an operator, that receipt is dropped either in your browser or passed in the link's URL. The operator's affiliate network reads it if you register, and pays us a referral fee. It lasts for a set "cookie window" (often 30–90 days depending on the program). Crucially, it costs you nothing and doesn't change your bonus or your experience — you get exactly the same offer as anyone else. If the cookie expires or you clear it before signing up, we simply don't get credited. For the full commercial picture, see our affiliate disclosure.

Consent

Where the law requires it (for example for visitors in California or the EU/UK), we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies — that means analytics and affiliate-tracking cookies. You can accept or reject these through the cookie notice shown on your first visit, and you can change your choice at any time by clearing your cookies and reloading the site, or by using the browser controls below. Essential cookies are always active because the site can't work without them. We also honor recognized opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) where applicable. See our privacy policy for how the resulting data is handled and your related rights.

How to disable or manage cookies in your browser

You are always in control. Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies:

You can also browse in private/incognito mode, use tracking-protection features, or install a reputable cookie-management extension. Blocking analytics and affiliate cookies won't stop you using ourturnmoss.org — but note that if you block affiliate cookies, any sign-up you make won't be credited to us, which is fine on your end and simply means the site earns nothing from your visit.

Changes and contact

We may update this cookie policy as our tools or the law change; the "last updated" date reflects the latest version. Questions? Email editorial@ourturnmoss.org or use our contact form.

Play responsibly

Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money. Set a budget and a time limit before you play, and never chase losses. Offshore operators are not part of US state self-exclusion programs — use the operator's own deposit-limit, cool-off and self-exclusion tools.

Free, confidential help (US): National Council on Problem Gambling — call/text 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org. You must be of legal age (18+/21+ per operator) to play.

Tax note: Gambling winnings are taxable income under US federal law and most state laws. Offshore operators generally do not issue W-2G/1099 forms, but you are still required to report winnings — consult a tax professional. ourturnmoss.org is not a tax adviser.

🔞 You must be 21+ (18+ where permitted) to gamble. Gambling involves financial risk and can be addictive — please play responsibly. Help: 1-800-GAMBLER. Operators listed on ourturnmoss.org are licensed in offshore jurisdictions (e.g. Curaçao, Anjouan, Panama) and are not licensed or regulated by any US state gaming authority.
