Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They contain information that can be read by the website or by an authorised service provider when you return. Cookies do not usually identify you directly by name, but they can recognise a device, browser session or set of preferences.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other tools that collect or store information about how a website is accessed. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a specific distinction is needed.

Cookies can be session-based or persistent. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you remove them. The length of time a cookie remains available can vary according to its purpose, the service using it and your device settings.

Cookies can also be first-party or third-party cookies. First-party cookies are placed by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies may be placed by a service provider that supports functions such as security, analytics, advertising, customer support or embedded content. The use of third-party technologies may be governed by the relevant provider's own privacy information.

Why cookies matter

Some website functions may not work properly without certain cookies. For example, a website may need to remember a login session, preserve information while a page is being used, protect forms from misuse or recognise the device during a secure interaction. Other cookies help us understand broad website activity and improve the way information and features are presented.

The types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on the Candy Casino website may change as website functions, security requirements and service providers change. The main categories are described below. A cookie may have more than one purpose, and not every category will be active on every page or device.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support core website operations and security. They may help with account access, page navigation, session management, fraud prevention, load balancing, error handling and the delivery of requested services. They are generally required for the website to operate as intended and may not be available for deactivation through a preference tool. Blocking them through your browser may prevent some features from working.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies remember choices or settings so that the website can provide a more convenient experience. They may remember language, region, display preferences, consent choices or other options selected during a visit. If you remove or block these cookies, you may need to make the same selections again, and some features may not operate in the same way.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information such as the pages viewed, the links selected, the approximate time spent on a page, the device or browser type and whether a page produces an error. This information is generally used in an aggregated or statistical form to monitor performance, identify issues and improve content, usability and website design.

Security and risk-management technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to help protect the website, accounts and users. They may support authentication, detect unusual activity, reduce automated abuse, assist with fraud prevention and help maintain the integrity of online services. These technologies may operate in the background and can be necessary for a safer digital environment.

Advertising and measurement cookies

Where used and where permitted, advertising or measurement technologies may help assess the effectiveness of marketing, limit repeated advertisements or show content that is more relevant to a user's interests. These technologies may involve third-party providers. You can often control this category through a cookie preference tool, browser settings or controls made available by the relevant provider.

Consent and third-party services

When you first visit the website, you may see a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select categories individually. Your choices may be stored in a cookie or similar technology so that the website can remember them. If you use a different browser, device or browser profile, your choices may need to be made again.

Some cookies are necessary to provide a service that you have requested or to support website security. Other cookies may be optional, depending on the purpose of the technology and applicable requirements. Where consent is required, optional cookies should only be used in accordance with the relevant consent choice. You may be able to withdraw or change your choice at any time through the available cookie settings or by adjusting your browser controls.

Candy Casino may use service providers to host, secure, analyse, maintain or improve the website. These providers may process information collected through cookies or similar technologies on behalf of the website. A provider may also use its own technologies in connection with a service, such as security tools, embedded content, analytics or customer support. We expect relevant providers to handle information in accordance with applicable requirements and their contractual responsibilities.

Third-party websites, applications and services may have their own cookies and privacy practices. If you follow a link to another website or interact with content provided by another organisation, this Cookies Policy may not apply to that activity. You should review the relevant organisation's information before providing personal information or accepting its cookies.

Information that may be collected

Depending on the technology and its purpose, cookie-related information may include an online identifier, IP address, device or browser details, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location derived from technical information, date and time of access, preference selections and general interaction data. Information collected through cookies may be combined with other information where this is permitted and reasonably required for the relevant purpose.

Cookie information may be used for website operation, security, analytics, service improvement, preference management, compliance, prevention of misuse and other purposes described in our Privacy Policy. We do not treat this policy as a promise that every cookie or technology will be used at all times. The services and technologies available on the website may be updated from time to time.

Managing cookies and your choices

You can usually manage cookies in several ways. The options available to you depend on your browser, device, operating system, the website's preference tool and the technology involved. You may be able to accept or refuse optional cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites or receive a notification before cookies are stored.

• Use the cookie preference tool displayed on the website, where available, to review or change optional cookie categories.
• Open your browser settings to view, remove or block cookies stored on your device.
• Adjust mobile device or operating system settings that control tracking, advertising preferences or website data.
• Use privacy controls provided by certain analytics, advertising or technology providers.
• Delete cookies after a session if you are using a shared or public device.
• Review your settings on each browser and device that you use to access the website.

Disabling all cookies may affect the availability, security or performance of the website. For example, you may be unable to remain signed in, save preferences, complete certain steps or use features that depend on a secure session. Blocking optional cookies may reduce analytics or personalised functionality, but it may not prevent all advertising or online measurement carried out by other organisations.

Browser settings can be useful, but they may not control every type of technology. Some local storage, device identifiers, application settings or similar tools may require separate controls. You may also need to repeat your choices after deleting cookies, changing browsers, using private browsing or clearing website data.

Children and age-restricted services

The website is intended for people who are legally permitted to access online gambling services in their location. Cookies and similar technologies must not be used to bypass age, identity, location, account or responsible gambling controls. If you believe that a minor has provided information or accessed a service improperly, stop using the relevant device or account and raise the matter through the available website support process.

Security and retention

We use reasonable measures intended to protect information handled through the website. No online transmission, website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Cookie information may be retained for as long as needed for its purpose, to maintain a record of choices, to support security, to resolve disputes, to meet legal obligations or for legitimate business requirements. Retention periods can vary by cookie and service.

Updates and further information

We may update this Cookies Policy when website features, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or privacy practices change. The latest version will be made available on the website. The date or version shown with the policy may help you identify when it was last reviewed. You should check this page periodically so that you understand how cookies may be used.

This policy is general information about cookies and does not replace the Privacy Policy, website terms, account conditions or any responsible gambling information that may also apply. Those documents may explain in more detail how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, stored and managed.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or wish to ask about your privacy choices, use the support or contact options made available through the Candy Casino website. Do not include passwords, payment details or other sensitive information in a message unless you are using a secure method specifically provided for that purpose.

By using the website after an updated version of this policy is published, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review the updated information. Your use remains subject to any applicable consent requirements and to the choices available through the website, your browser and your device.
