Cookies from the demo game
The Play Demo button loads Hot Ross inside an iframe from Hacksaw Gaming. The provider can set its own cookies for the game session. These cookies belong to the provider, and we cannot read or delete them.
Cookie from casino links
The Play for Money and Claim buttons pass through our click-tracking service. It sets one cookie with an anonymous visitor ID on its own domain for one year. That cookie lets a later casino sign-up be credited to hotross.com.
