Cookies Policy
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file sent from our website to your browser and stored on your device when you visit or interact with our site. This technology enables us to personalise your online experience, retain user preferences, and track browsing activity for various purposes.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
Cookies facilitate the functioning of our platform by allowing us to customise content, remember your login information, and monitor performance metrics anonymously. By accepting cookies, you can expect an improved browsing experience with faster page loading times, easier navigation, and tailored suggestions based on your interests.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website's functionality. They help manage user sessions, route requests between servers, and enable content delivery networks (CDNs) to load media resources efficiently. You cannot opt-out of these essential cookies without affecting how our site functions.
Session Cookies
Temporary cookies stored in your browser's memory when you visit our site. These are typically cleared once the browsing session is closed or expired within a short time frame, usually no longer than one day. Session cookies ensure that subsequent requests to pages and features function as intended by remembering your actions throughout each user interaction.
Persistent Cookies
Durable cookies stored on your device for an extended period until manually deleted or cleared through browser settings. These allow us to retain preferences like language selection, currency choices, or game save data between sessions, enhancing overall user engagement with our website.
Functional Cookies
These help maintain the functionality of specific features and tools found on our site, including analytics software, content delivery systems (CDS), or performance optimisation libraries that aid in debugging. Functional cookies enhance your browsing experience by dynamically adjusting page layout, providing real-time statistics for developers, or improving server communication protocols.
Analytics & Performance Cookies
Used to collect anonymous data about user interaction and browser configuration for various purposes such as tracking error rates, gauging accessibility compliance (WCAG/Section 508), auditing online security threats, diagnosing performance degradation in specific browsers/platforms. These cookies ensure that our site remains compatible with the ever-evolving web ecosystem while enabling continuous improvement.
Preference & Language Settings
Cookies used to remember your language choice and other settings for user preferences will be stored locally on your browser to automatically adjust content display according to regional dialect, format, or local regulations. This makes navigation more comfortable by simplifying changes between different areas of interest without manually selecting alternatives each time you return.
Login/Session Continuity
Cookies store the encrypted token for your active session after successful login validation to maintain continuity when switching pages on-site, reducing unnecessary log-in prompts and promoting seamless user experience.
Device Recognition & Security Cookies
Technologies are used anonymously in order to monitor activity related problems such as device misbehaviour or fraudulent actions that target our users' assets. This helps protect against data breaches via advanced alerting mechanisms based off of aggregated metrics collected from client browsers across all connected devices on which the service has been enabled.
Browser Storage Technologies
We employ multiple technologies including IndexedDB, WebStorage, and Cache API to enhance overall user experience by ensuring efficient browsing through various web applications within a specific environment while also enabling our systems for managing their operation dynamically without direct intervention from users or developers.
Third-Party Integrations
Cookies used in conjunction with third-party services help analyse browser behaviour or improve page loading performance via network optimization solutions. However, where supported by applicable law, such as California's CCPA, you can prevent these cookies from being set within your own choices.
Marketing & Communication Preferences
Opt-out options are available for advertising-related services that target user interests based on aggregated browsing activity and data derived from cookie tracking technologies employed under the specific legislation and conditions outlined in our Terms of Service.
Please note: Specific information about the different categories above can be requested through our Privacy Request Form.
Cookie Consent Management
Our platform follows strict consent guidelines as laid out by governing authorities like GDPR (European Union) & CCPA (California, USA), ensuring we respect your choices regarding third-party integrations or services tied to specific cookie-related functionalities outlined in these documents. To comply with applicable regulations you may block all cookies or set a do-not-track preference.
Browser Cookie Controls
Your web browser allows for control of accepted and stored cookies through its settings menus. Commonly, browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari & Internet Explorer allow disabling/ blocking individual website-specific cookies based on the type chosen by your selection; please refer to specific software user guides for exact procedures.
Clearing or Disabling Cookies
Manually removing existing cookie data from local storage using browser tools ensures that our site cannot retain information across multiple browsing sessions. Some browsers provide automated cleaning functions which should be employed according to personal preference, usually via an "advanced" tab or section found within privacy options settings.
Site Functionality with Disabled Cookies
When accepting cookies is disabled in your web browser preferences, several features and functionalities may not function optimally including site performance analysis tools such as real-time traffic monitoring software used for internal benchmarking of online platform health & reliability; accessibility support systems can still be accessed manually under a “user defined” option available throughout our menu.
