When you access or use ONCE POKER’s content, products, or services, we may collect information from your devices using cookies and similar technologies to enhance your user experience. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, why and how we use them, how you can control their use, how to manage your cookie preferences, the impact of adblocker technologies, and how to contact us.
 

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files downloaded to your device when you visit a website, which your web browser sends back to the site or other sites that recognize them on subsequent visits. Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are small graphic images used to track webpage access or content interaction for usage analysis. Flash cookies are locally stored browser plug-ins that support interactive and multimedia content. Mobile applications may use device mechanisms or technologies that function like cookies on platforms such as Apple iOS or Android. In this policy, we use "cookies" or "similar technologies" interchangeably to refer to technologies that store data on your browser or device or help us collect personal information and identify you as described below. For more information on controlling cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

Cookies serve various purposes to improve your online experience and ensure relevant content and functions are delivered effectively. We use session cookies, persistent cookies, and local storage across our sites. Session cookies are temporary, enabling efficient navigation or preference retention during your visit. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor or deliver relevant advertisements. Locally stored text files, accessible only by you, are not transmitted by your browser. Software Development Kits (SDKs) are pre-built third-party application components that support mobile operating systems like iOS and may be used on our websites or digital platforms.

How Do We Use Cookies?

Cookies are placed on your device in two ways: first-party cookies, set by us as the site operator, and third-party cookies, set by other parties to collect browsing habits or provide tailored content. We use four main categories of cookies: Strictly Necessary, Functionality, Performance, and Third-Party Marketing/Targeting Cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies are essential for navigating our websites and using requested features, such as playing a poker hand. They enable your device to download or stream information, allowing you to move between pages, stay logged in during your session, and update game selections. These cookies may collect personal data like your IP address, location data, or login status to function but do not retain preferences or usernames beyond your current visit. They are deleted when you close your browser.

Functionality Cookies recognize you on return visits, remembering choices like language or marketing preferences to provide enhanced features. They store information about your game selections or product usage and may display relevant content links. These cookies may collect personal data to deliver these services and expire after a maximum of two years, though you can delete them earlier via your browser settings.

Performance Cookies collect data on website usage to provide aggregated statistics, helping us test and improve site performance for a better user experience. They track how our websites are used, assess ad effectiveness, and identify errors. Tools like Google Analytics may manage these cookies, collecting anonymized browser data without personally identifying you when not logged in. These cookies have varying validity periods, with some deleted on browser closure and others lasting indefinitely until removed via browser settings.

Third-Party Marketing/Targeting Cookies deliver advertisements relevant to your interests, limit ad frequency, and measure campaign effectiveness. They record your website visits, pages viewed, and product selections to tailor content and ads, including geotargeting and retargeting based on your location or browsing history. Third parties, such as advertising networks, place these cookies with our permission, collecting anonymized data without linking to your name or personal details. These cookies may remain active for up to 13 months.

How Can You Control the Use of Cookies?

You can block some or all cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers like Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Safari are available online. Be aware that blocking cookies may impair some website functions. Mobile platforms may offer controls for third-party data sharing in app stores or browsers; refer to your device manual for details.

How Can You Manage Your Cookie Preferences?

To change your privacy preferences, visit our consent management platform on our website. Note that removing consent for a cookie type may leave a disabled cookie on your device, which we will not collect. You can manually remove cookies using your browser settings, as described above.

What Happens If You Use Adblocker Technologies?

Adblocker technologies may prevent us from prompting you to manage cookie settings or fully experiencing our website’s features. To optimize your experience, consider disabling adblockers and reviewing your cookie preferences via our consent management platform.
