What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply information to the owners of the site.
Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” (deleted automatically when you close your browser). They can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services that operate on the website (“third-party cookies”).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on destroyerminis.com (“the Website”), why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on this Website: essential cookies, analytics cookies, and affiliate tracking cookies.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the Website. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies.
We do not use essential cookies to collect personal information or to track your behaviour. These cookies are strictly functional and are set by our own website.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our Website. Google Analytics cookies collect anonymised data about your visit, including which pages you view, how long you spend on the site, which website referred you, and what device and browser you are using.
This data is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify individual visitors from it. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses, meaning your full IP address is not stored.
Analytics data helps us improve our Website by understanding which content is most useful, identifying technical issues, and making informed decisions about future content. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link on our Website (a link to a third-party casino platform), the casino operator may set cookies on your device to track that the referral originated from Destroyer Minis. These cookies enable the operator to attribute your visit to our site, which is how we earn affiliate commissions that fund our operations.
These are third-party cookies set by the casino operator, not by Destroyer Minis. We do not control the content, duration, or data collected by these cookies. Each casino operator has its own privacy policy and cookie practices, and we recommend reviewing their policies before clicking affiliate links.
Affiliate cookies do not cost you anything. You are never charged more as a result of being referred through our site.

| [Various] | Casino operators | Set by third-party casino platforms when you click an affiliate link. Used to attribute referrals and track conversions for affiliate commission purposes. | Varies (typically 30–90 days) | Persistent / Third-party |
Note: Third-party affiliate cookies vary by casino operator. The specific cookies set depend on which affiliate link you click. We do not control the names, content, or duration of these cookies.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, third-party services may set cookies on your device when you visit our Website:
- Google Analytics (Google LLC): Analytics cookies as described above. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Affiliate network and casino operators: When you click affiliate links, the destination website may set tracking cookies. These are governed by each operator’s own cookie and privacy policies.
We do not have control over third-party cookies and are not responsible for the data they collect. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our Website.
