Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

When you use our online services, cookies and other tracking technologies work in different ways to give you the best possible experience across our sites. Every website owned by our company uses cookies. We employ cookies and other tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixels, tags, and APIs. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your computer's browser or on your mobile device when you visit a website. On each subsequent visit, the cookie is sent back to the originating site, or to another site able to recognize it, in order to record the user's online activity. There is also a difference between session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies have a longer lifespan and are not removed automatically when you close your browser. We try to limit the cookies we use or authorize to a period of less than five years. Only in special circumstances, for example for security reasons and when it is strictly necessary, will cookies be kept for longer.

2. The use of cookie files; cookies serve different purposes.

Cookies allow us to identify you as the same user across different pages or sites. The information we collect through cookies may include, among other things: - your IP address; - the date and time you use our services; - details about your software and hardware; - details about the browser you are using; - information about the operating system of the device used to access our services, such as the latest version of applications and your language settings; - activity logs.

2.1. Which cookie files do we use?

Necessary cookies: cookies may be necessary or non-necessary. Necessary cookies serve only to carry out or facilitate transmission over the network, or are indispensable for providing the online service you have requested. Under applicable law, we do not need your consent to collect this type of cookie.

Technical cookies: we strive to offer visitors an advanced, easy-to-use site that automatically adjusts to their needs and preferences. To achieve this, we use technical cookies to display our site, make it work correctly, create your user account, allow you to log in, and manage your activity. These technical cookies are absolutely essential for our site to function properly.

Functional cookies: we also use functional cookies to remember your preferences and help you use our site efficiently and conveniently (for example, these cookies remember your preferred currency, language, your searches, and the settings you have previously chosen). These functional cookies are not strictly essential for our site or app to work, but they offer extra features and make your poker experience more complete.

Analytics cookies: we use these cookies to better understand how visitors use our site. This means we can find the best ways to optimize and improve the site and assess whether our advertising and communications are effective. The data we collect may include the pages you viewed, the referring URL, and the last page you visited before leaving, the type of platform used, the emails you opened and interacted with, plus date and time information. It also means we can use detailed data about how you interact with the site, such as the number of clicks on a given page, mouse movements and scrolling activity, the search terms you used, and the text you typed across the various pages. We employ analytics cookies as part of our online advertising campaigns to understand how users interact with our site after seeing an online ad (which may include ads on third-party sites). Analytics cookies may also be used so that our business partners know whether their customers are using offers integrated into their sites. In addition to our own cookies, we also use Google Analytics (including the UserID feature), segment.io, and their respective analytics services to raise the quality of our site and provide a good experience.

Marketing and advertising cookies: we may use these cookies to personalize the ads you see. This helps us measure the effectiveness of advertising. We share part of the information collected by cookies with third parties that provide advertising services. We use third-party cookies to collect player data such as IP address, user ID, location, device, browser, and visit frequency.

These third parties aggregate the data and then provide us with anonymized information about the players who play on our site, which we use to build marketing campaigns and carry out analysis. Please note that we do not have access to the personal information contained in this data; in other words, we can only access the aggregated, anonymized data.

3. How to manage the use of cookies

In the settings of browsers such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome, you can set which cookies to accept and which to refuse. Where these settings are located depends on the browser you use. Use your browser's information/help function to find the settings you need. If you choose not to accept certain technical and/or functional cookies, you may not be able to use some features of our site. At this time, we do not support the "Do Not Track" browser setting.

Should a universal standard be adopted that defines the exact meaning of "Do Not Track" browser signals, we will review this Cookie Policy again. To control data collection for analytics purposes through Google Analytics, you may need to visit the following link: the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (available for the desktop version only).

The Google Analytics opt-out add-on is compatible with Chrome, Internet Explorer 11, Safari, Firefox, and Opera. To learn more about cookies and how to manage or remove them, visit the information/help section of your browser.
