This document explains how Digital Forge LTD (“Digital Forge LTD”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website at https://realplaysonline.com (the “Website” or “Platform”) to provide a secure, compliant, and optimised user experience.
These technologies support essential functionality, performance monitoring, analytics, user preference management, and lawful delivery of advertising and affiliate attribution. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to operate correctly, while others assist in measuring usage or improving usability.
In some cases, cookies and tracking technologies may collect information that directly or indirectly identifies you. Such data is processed in accordance with our[Privacy Policy, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), as well as guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and the Gambling Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP).
This Policy describes the categories of cookies we use, the purposes they serve, and the controls available to manage them.
Cookies are small text or data files stored on your browser or device when you access a website. They help verify identity, maintain session continuity, record preferences, and enable secure system operations.
Cookies may be issued directly by us (first-party cookies) or by authorised third-party service providers (third-party cookies). First-party cookies are deployed by realplaysonline.com to support the Platform’s essential functionality. Third-party cookies are placed by approved partners for analytics, performance, and advertising compliance.
Cookies may remain active only during your browsing session or persist across visits depending on configuration.
Type of Cookie
- Session cookies: Used for temporary data that expires when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.
- First-party cookies: Deployed by this website to deliver core Platform functionality.
- Third-party cookies: Implemented by approved partners for analytics and marketing.
All cookies are deployed in accordance with UK data protection law and ICO guidance on consent and transparency.
We use first and third-party cookies to support lawful, secure, and efficient Platform operation. Certain cookies are required for technical reasons (“essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies). Others help us understand engagement, personalise content, and maintain compliance with advertising and gambling regulations.
Our use of cookies includes:
- Maintaining session integrity and user authentication;
- Managing content preferences, age affirmation (18+), and regional settings for UK users;
- Detecting and preventing unauthorised access or fraudulent activity;
- Enforcing jurisdictional restrictions and ensuring UK compliance;
- Measuring performance metrics such as page load times and session durations;
- Supporting lawful advertising, affiliate attribution, and consent-based remarketing consistent with ASA/CAP guidance and PECR;
- Recording and applying user consent preferences through an IAB TCF v2.2-compliant Consent Management Platform operating under Google Consent Mode v2.
Essential cookies required for operation may be set without consent under Regulation 6(4) of PECR. Non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics, personalisation, or advertising) require opt-in consent, which you can manage through our cookie banner or consent interface
Cookies on this Platform are organised into compliance-based categories. Each category corresponds to a specific purpose and lawful basis under UK data protection law.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies

Deliver relevant promotions, measure conversions, and attribute affiliate activity. Processed under user consent in compliance with CAP and Gambling Commission rules.
- Unclassified Cookies
Temporary diagnostic cookies used for testing or development. Disabled until properly categorised and assigned a lawful basis.
Third-party cookies are subject to contractual controls and must comply with the UK GDPR and the ICO’s International Data Transfer Addendum when transferring data outside the UK. Each partner must implement adequate technical and organisational safeguards and process data solely for authorised purposes.
We also employ other lawful tracking technologies that recognise visits and user interactions for limited analytical and compliance purposes.
- Tracking Pixels: Record page impressions, ad visibility, and campaign engagement.
- JavaScript Tags: Measure usage interactions and render dynamic features.
- Local Storage Objects: Store persistent user preferences and consent records.

These tools are governed by our Consent Management Platform and restricted to the minimum data necessary for lawful operation. Where they involve personal data, all rights and safeguards under the UK GDPR and PECR apply.
You retain full control over non-essential cookies on your device. Preferences can be managed using our on-site Cookie Consent Manager, which allows you to accept or reject non-essential categories in accordance with your privacy choices. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for core Website functions.
The Consent Manager is accessible through the initial banner and the “Manage cookies” link available on the Website. If you decline certain categories, you may continue to browse the Website, although some personalised or analytical functions may not operate properly.
Through our Consent Management Platform, which complies with IAB TCF v2.2 and Google Consent Mode v2, you can:
- Accept or reject specific cookie categories;
- View information about each cookie, including provider, purpose, and duration;
- Withdraw consent at any time, triggering deletion of non-essential cookies where feasible;
