Cookies policy
Everything you need to know about cookies on Planet of Dreams.
What are cookies
As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored, however this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.
For more information on cookies and your rights around them, see the Information Commissioner’s Office guidance on cookies and similar technologies.
Managing your consent
When you first visit our site we ask for your cookie preferences through our consent banner. You can accept or reject each category of cookie, and you can change your choices at any time using the cookie settings link. Strictly necessary cookies are always on because the site cannot work without them; all other categories are only used if you consent to them.
You can also prevent or delete cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this). Be aware that blocking some cookies may affect how this and other websites work.
The cookies we set
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off. They include a session cookie that keeps you signed in, a “remember me” cookie if you choose to stay logged in, and a cookie that stores your cookie-consent choices so we don’t have to ask you on every visit. We also use Google reCAPTCHA on some forms (such as sign-up) to protect against spam and fraudulent activity, which may set cookies from Google – see Google’s Privacy Policy.
Functionality
These cookies remember choices and context relevant to your account and entries so we can tailor your experience. This includes remembering which draw brought you to the site so an entry can be attributed correctly, and recording an affiliate code if you arrived via a referral, so we can credit the right person.
Analytics
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it, such as which pages you visit and how long you spend on them. We use our own first-party analytics (Ahoy) alongside Google Tag Manager, which we use to load and manage our analytics and advertising tags.
For more information, see the official Google Tag Manager page.
Marketing
These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show you more relevant adverts. They include click identifiers and cookies set when you arrive from an advert on Meta (Facebook) or TikTok, as well as UTM campaign parameters that record which marketing campaign brought you to the site.
For more information, see Meta’s Cookies Policy and TikTok’s Cookies Policy.
More information
Hopefully that’s clarified things. You’re always free to adjust your cookie preferences using the cookie settings link, and turning off a category won’t stop the core site from working – it may just mean a less tailored experience.
However if you are still looking for more information then you can contact us via email at support@planetofdreams.co.uk.
