Plain-language summary
We set cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, count page visits (via Google Analytics), and track affiliate referral clicks. You can decline analytics and affiliate cookies. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off — they keep the site working.
2. How PokerWix Uses Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes: to operate the Site (strictly necessary), to understand how visitors use the Site (analytics), and to track affiliate referrals so we can pay commissions to the correct partner (affiliate tracking).
We do not use cookies to display targeted advertising, build individual user profiles for third-party ad networks, or track you across unrelated websites.
3. Cookie Categories
The table below lists every cookie we set, grouped by category. Use the consent banner or your browser settings to control non-essential cookies.
Strictly Necessary
Always onThese cookies are essential for the Site to function. They cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take — such as logging in, setting your cookie preferences, or filling in forms.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| pw_session | pokerwix.com | Maintains your authenticated session after login. | Session |
| pw_consent | pokerwix.com | Stores your cookie consent preferences. | 1 year |
| pw_csrf | pokerwix.com | Cross-site request forgery protection token. | Session |
Analytics & Performance
OptionalThese cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve site performance. All data is aggregated and anonymised.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies listed above are set by third-party services (e.g. Google Analytics). These providers have their own privacy policies and may combine data collected on our Site with data from other websites they track. We have no control over third-party cookies once they are set.
Google Analytics data is processed under Google's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options to control cookies:
• Cookie consent banner — the first time you visit pokerwix.com, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your selection at any time by clearing the pw_consent cookie and refreshing the page.
• Browser settings — all modern browsers allow you to refuse some or all cookies, or to delete cookies that have already been set. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions (Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge).
• Opt-out tools — for Google Analytics specifically, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For affiliate-tracking cookies, simply do not click affiliate links.
Note: blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent core site features (such as login) from working correctly.
6. Cookie Consent
On your first visit, we show a consent banner. Strictly necessary cookies are deployed immediately (they are required for the banner itself to function). Analytics and affiliate cookies are only set if you click "Accept" or interact with affiliate links.
You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Doing so will delete existing non-essential cookies and prevent new ones from being set.
7. Cookie Lifetimes
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have a fixed expiry date shown in the table in Section 3. We do not set any persistent cookies with a lifetime longer than 2 years.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We will notify you of material changes via the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
