Your Preferences and Language Settings
We respect your language preferences and will only use cookies that are relevant to the language you've chosen while visiting Paddy Power Bingo's website.
If you make explicit choices regarding how we can communicate with or provide content for you (e.g., newsletter opt-in), these preferences are stored using functional cookies. This way, our system knows exactly which aspects of your user experience need adjustment.

When visiting Paddy Power Bingo's website regularly, some cookies may help maintain your logged-in status. We strive for seamless continuity between sessions without compromising security.
Security-enhancing measures (e.g., token-based authentication) are implemented with minimal use of session or persistent cookies to protect users' privacy and data while minimizing loss due to potential site compromises.
Examples: qwe_security_token, _qwe_sesstoken
Third-Party Integrations
We often integrate tools from reputable third-party providers (e.g., social media, analytics platforms) that use their own set of cookies. These help enhance our users' experiences and are governed by terms compliant with major standards.
Examples: fb_cookie, _qwe_google_analytics
Marketing or Communication Preferences
Occasionally we'll share your interests through email newsletters tailored to specific preferences (user-defined), using minimal functional cookie support where applicable.
If you're not comfortable storing cookies, our site provides clear links and mechanisms for managing browser-based controls as well as disabling them altogether. This way users always remain in control over their browsing experience on Paddy Power Bingo's platform.
Browser Controls
For both persistent and session-related options available: To manage your cookie preferences at any given time or to delete all stored cookies, please refer directly to the respective browser documentation.
