1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage. For example, we use your browser’s local storage to remember that you confirmed you are 18 or older on our age gate, so we don’t ask you on every visit.
2. Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to work, including keeping you securely signed in (session cookies), load-balancing, and security/fraud prevention. These cannot be switched off.
- Preferences — remember choices such as your age-gate acknowledgement and display settings.
- Analytics / performance — help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it (used only with your consent where required).
- Marketing — where permitted and consented to, used to measure and tailor promotions.
3. Why we use them
We use these technologies to keep your account secure, remember your preferences and age confirmation, support responsible-gaming and fraud controls, and (with consent) to analyze and improve the Platform.
4. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and clear our locally stored age-gate acknowledgement by clearing your browser data. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may break sign-in and other core features. Where required, we will ask for your consent to non-essential cookies and let you change your choices.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties we use (for example payment, identity-verification, or analytics providers). Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.
6. Changes and more information
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. For more on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy. [Operator: insert a full cookie inventory and consent-manager details once finalized with counsel.]
