Cookie Policy
Definition of Cookies
A cookie is a small text file created by a website and stored on the user’s device (such as a computer or smartphone) when they access the website. This text file holds basic information about the user’s interactions with the website, which can be retrieved during subsequent visits. Cookies play an essential role in the functionality of websites today.
Without them, many services would be difficult to deliver, such as retaining items in an online shopping cart or keeping users logged into accounts. It is important to note that cookies cannot access or execute files on your device, nor can they transmit viruses. They merely store certain information related to your web browsing activities.
Additionally, cookies can be temporary or persistent. Temporary (or session) cookies expire and are deleted once you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period or until you manually delete them. Our website utilizes both types of cookies to ensure you receive the most optimized experience.
The use of cookies enhances our ability to provide services that meet user expectations and streamline online interactions. This mechanism is widely adopted and integral to the efficient functioning of websites, especially those in the online entertainment sector, where personalized experiences are key to user satisfaction.
