Last Updated: September 7, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how FanDuel Sportsbook & Casino uses cookies, web beacons, and local storage to deliver secure, responsive sports betting and casino operations.
Cookies are small text files placed onto your computer, smartphone, or tablet when visiting websites. They are universally employed across online gaming portals to ensure user session stability, authenticate player logins, remember personal preferences, and track marketing attribution links.
Along with cookies, we utilize related technologies including pixel tags, local storage objects, and device fingerprint tokens to verify geographic eligibility and shield players against account takeover attempts.
We classify our cookies into four functional categories:
| Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Vital for website navigation, encrypted login sessions, CSRF security, and shared wallet balance display. | Session / 1 Year |
| Functional Cookies | Remembers your odds display format (American, Decimal, Fractional), language preferences, and favorite sports markets. | 6 Months to 2 Years |
| Performance & Analytics | Monitors page loading speeds, in-game animation frames, and error diagnostics across Google and Bing crawler tools. | 1 Year |
| Marketing & Affiliate Attribution | Tracks promotional referrals originating through official affiliate links (`/go/`) to distribute welcome bonuses accurately. | 30 to 90 Days |
When you click any promotional banner or "Join Now" CTA button pointing to `/go/`, a temporary attribution cookie is created. This cookie contains zero sensitive personal details; it merely transmits a unique campaign identification code to our account registration database.
This tracking ensures that when your account is successfully verified, bonus benefits such as the $1,000 Play-It-Again insurance and free casino spins are immediately and automatically added to your bankroll without manual intervention.
Most modern web browsers allow you to manage or delete cookies via their security settings:
Important Note: Blocking Strictly Necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into your FanDuel account, viewing active betting slips, or conducting financial transactions.
We may periodically update our Cookie Policy to mirror technical enhancements or modifications in regulatory guidelines. Any modifications will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date.
