The term “cookies” refers to small text files that are stored on your device when you access our services via browsers or mobile applications.

What are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data sent from a website and stored on the user’s computer or mobile device by the web browser while the user is browsing. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Our platform uses two primary categories of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are crucial for the basic functioning of our online gaming services and enable features such as user login, security, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain elements of the site may not perform properly.
- Non-Essential Cookies: These include cookies that enhance your browsing experience by personalizing content, providing detailed analytics, and assisting in advertisement performance. They may be used to track user behavior to help us understand how our platform is used and where improvements can be made.
In addition to the aforementioned categories, our platform may use session cookies (temporary cookies that expire once the browser is closed) as well as persistent cookies (that remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted). Both types serve distinct functions in terms of performance and security.
