This cookie policy explains how hoverhelicopters.co.uk uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our independent review portal. Greatslots is the brand we write about — this policy covers only the cookies set by our own site, not those set by the operator's platform.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. It helps the site recognise you on return visits and remember your preferences. Cookies don't contain viruses and can't access other files on your computer.
We use cookies for three main reasons: to make the site work properly, to understand how visitors use it, and to show relevant content. Some are essential and cannot be switched off without breaking basic functions. Others are optional and require your consent.
The cookies we set
Below is a breakdown of the cookies you'll encounter on hoverhelicopters.co.uk.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, load balancing | No |
| Analytics | Traffic measurement, page performance, user journeys | Yes |
| Marketing | Ad targeting, conversion tracking, retargeting | Yes |
| Preference | Language, layout choices, dismissed notices | No |
Necessary cookies keep the site secure and functional — they handle your session, prevent cross-site forgery, and balance server load. You cannot opt out of these without losing access to core features.
Analytics cookies tell us which pages get read, where visitors drop off, and how long they stay. We use this data to improve navigation and focus our editorial effort where it matters. These require your consent, and declining them won't affect your experience.
Marketing cookies track conversions and help us understand which content drives interest. They may also enable retargeting on other platforms. You can decline these through the consent banner or your browser settings.
Preference cookies remember non-essential choices — your dismissed banners, your preferred layout, the language you selected. These make repeat visits smoother but aren't strictly necessary.
The analytics question
We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and understand reader behaviour. This service sets its own cookies and processes anonymised data about your visit — pages viewed, time on site, referral source. IP addresses are truncated before storage, so no personally identifiable information reaches Google's servers in full.
Good to know: analytics data is aggregated and never sold. We use it purely to inform editorial decisions and improve the site's structure.
Scripts we do not control
Some embedded content pulls in third-party scripts that may set cookies of their own. This includes advertising networks, social-media widgets, and payment-gateway integrations. We do not control those cookies directly, and their policies are governed by the organisations that set them.
Where possible, we configure third-party tools to respect your privacy preferences. However, once a script loads from an external domain, that domain's own cookie policy applies. You can block third-party cookies entirely through your browser — see the section below.
Your options
You have full control over which cookies land on your device. The consent banner appears when you first visit hoverhelicopters.co.uk, and you can accept or decline optional categories there. If you change your mind later, clear your cookies and revisit the site — the banner will reappear.
Alternatively, manage cookies directly through your browser:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → See all site data and permissions
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data
Blocking all cookies will prevent some features from working — session management, preference storage, and secure forms all rely on them. Blocking third-party cookies alone is a lighter option that leaves core functionality intact while limiting external tracking.
Declining without breaking the site
Rejecting analytics and marketing cookies through the banner is the simplest route. You'll still get a full, functional site — you just won't contribute to our traffic stats or see retargeted ads. Necessary cookies remain active because they underpin security and session handling.
If you block cookies at the browser level, expect minor friction: you may need to log in repeatedly, consent banners may reappear on every visit, and personalised settings won't stick. The site remains readable, but convenience suffers.
Mobile browsers
On iOS, open Settings → Safari → Block All Cookies. On Android, open Chrome → Settings → Site settings → Cookies, then toggle "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies". The trade-off is the same — tighter privacy, slightly less convenience.
Revisions
We update this policy when we adopt new tools, retire old ones, or respond to regulatory changes. The date at the foot of this page shows when it was last revised. Significant changes are flagged in our site updates, though you're not required to accept new terms — you can simply stop using the site if a change is unacceptable.
No change will ever apply retroactively to data already collected under a previous version.

If your question concerns the operator's own tracking or data practices once you've registered an account on their platform, you'll need to contact their support team directly — we have no access to those systems.
