Cookie Policy

What This Policy Covers

This document explains how Imperial Wins uses cookies and similar technologies across our digital platforms. We define these technologies to include browser storage mechanisms, pixels, and software development kits that track or record information. First-party technologies are set directly by our systems, and we act as the data controller for this specific information. We use these tools to ensure the platform functions correctly while offering a secure environment for all users.

The scope extends beyond traditional HTTP cookies to include modern web storage methods such as local storage and session storage. These technologies operate similarly to cookies but can hold larger amounts of data on your device. We collect this information to manage user sessions and remember settings that you choose during your visit. This approach allows us to maintain service continuity without requiring constant re-authentication from players.

This policy works in tandem with our privacy policy to provide a complete picture of data handling. While the cookie policy details the storage and usage of technical identifiers, the privacy policy explains how we process the resulting personal data. You should read both documents together to understand the full scope of our data processing activities. If you have questions about how your data is handled, please refer to the contacts page for support.

We treat all stored information with the same strict standards regardless of the technology used to create it. Whether it is a small text file or a complex script, each piece of code serves a specific function within the platform. We do not collect more information than is necessary to fulfill the stated purposes of each category. This principle guides every decision we make regarding the deployment of tracking technologies on our site.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Cookie Categories Overview

Management of Non-Essential Data

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the settings icon in the footer of any page. This opens a panel where you can toggle each category on or off according to your current needs. Changing these settings updates your record in our database so that the system respects your new choices immediately. You can also visit our contacts page if you require assistance with managing your preferences.

We retain your consent choices for a specific period to ensure that we do not repeatedly ask for your permission. This period is typically twelve months from the date of your last interaction with the consent tool. After this time, we may ask you to review your preferences again to confirm that your choices are still valid. This ensures that our records remain accurate and that we are always compliant with current regulations.

If you choose to disable a category, the system will stop setting new cookies for that purpose immediately. However, existing cookies that were already set before you made your change may remain on your device for their original duration. You may need to clear your browser cache to fully remove these persistent files from your computer. This ensures that no residual data remains to track your activity after you have withdrawn consent.

Third-Party Technologies and Providers

Our platform integrates with various third-party services including analytics firms, payment processors, and affiliate tracking partners. These external providers set their own cookies and access information stored on your device during your visit independently. Each partner determines the specific purpose and duration for their technologies without our direct control.

We do not control the data practices of these third parties, and we cannot guarantee how they use or store your information. It is essential to review the privacy policies of these external providers to understand their specific data handling procedures. They may use this information to build profiles of your interests or share data with other partners in their network.

Third-party cookies are often used for cross-site tracking where an advertiser follows your activity across multiple websites. When you click an advertisement on our site and are then shown related offers on other platforms, this is often the result of such tracking. However, it also means that your browsing history may be shared with multiple external entities.

We monitor our third-party partners to ensure they adhere to the standards we expect regarding data security and privacy. We have vetted all service providers to confirm they comply with relevant data protection laws and regulations. Despite these checks, we cannot be held responsible for the actions or policies of these independent companies.

How Long Cookies Remain Active

Session cookies are temporary and exist only while you are actively using the browser. As soon as you close the window or tab, these files are automatically deleted from your computer or mobile device. This ensures that no lingering data is left behind that could compromise your privacy after you finish your session.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them. We typically set these to expire after thirty days for functional cookies and twelve months for marketing cookies. This balance allows us to maintain a personalized experience while ensuring that old data does not accumulate indefinitely.

We retain a record of your consent decisions so that we know which categories of cookies you have agreed to use. This information is stored securely in our database and is linked to your user account or device identifier. If you log in from a different device, we will ask you to consent again to ensure your choices are applied correctly.

The duration of any cookie is strictly limited to what is necessary to achieve its intended purpose. We do not extend the life of any file beyond the period required to fulfill the service it was designed to provide. If a cookie is no longer needed, we will delete it from your device or allow it to expire naturally.

Managing Your Consent Choices

Methods to Manage Preferences

The consent tool allows you to toggle each category independently, giving you granular control over your data. You can accept strictly necessary cookies while rejecting marketing cookies, or vice versa, depending on your needs. This level of detail ensures that you can customize your experience without sacrificing your privacy rights. We believe that users should have the power to decide exactly what data they share with us and when.

We store your consent choice as a persistent cookie to ensure that we do not ask you to consent repeatedly. This cookie is strictly necessary for the consent mechanism to function and cannot be disabled without losing your settings. It does not track your activity or store any personal data beyond your consent status. You can delete this cookie manually if you wish, but you will be asked to consent again on your next visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be posted on this page with a clear notice of when the update took effect. The date of the last update is displayed at the top of this page for your reference.

We may also notify you of changes through email or a banner on the site if the changes are substantial. You can choose to update your consent preferences if the new policy requires you to agree to different terms. This proactive approach helps ensure that you are always in control of your data.

If we make changes to the types of cookies we use or the purposes for which we collect data, we will explain these changes clearly. We will provide an opportunity to review and adjust your consent settings before the changes take effect. This ensures that you are never caught off guard by unexpected changes to our data practices.

Continued use of the website after an update to this policy implies your acceptance of the new terms. If you do not agree with the updated terms, you should stop using the site and contact us for further information. We value your trust and want to ensure that you are comfortable with our data handling practices.

Browser Settings and Technical Controls

You can also manage cookies directly through your web browser settings, independent of our consent tool. Most modern browsers allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. These controls are managed by your browser software and are separate from the preferences you set with us.

Blocking cookies can have unintended consequences on how the website functions for you. If you block strictly necessary cookies, you may not be able to log in, add items to your cart, or complete a transaction. The cashier and other critical features rely on these cookies to function correctly and to maintain your session state.

We advise that you use the consent tool rather than browser controls to manage your preferences effectively. The consent tool allows you to selectively block categories while keeping essential services running. This approach ensures that you can enjoy the full functionality of the site while still protecting your privacy as much as you prefer.

If you have questions about how to adjust your browser settings or if you encounter issues, please contact our support team. Our team is available to answer any questions you may have about our data practices or technical requirements.
