V. COOKIES

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your computer when you visit websites. They contain information linked to a web browser and the specific website, residing in a designated folder on your hard drive. Upon revisiting a particular website, cookies enable the page to recognize the visitor, allowing for a more detailed browsing history. A web beacon, typically a transparent graphic image of minimal size (often 1 pixel), is positioned on a website to monitor user behavior during their visit.

Cookies enhance visitor-friendliness by eliminating the need for repetitive data entry, such as login credentials or screen settings, upon each visit.

Types of cookies:

• Two major categories of cookies are commonly distinguished:
• First-party cookies: These are generated by a website to enhance its functionality, govern technical aspects like language preferences, or retain items in an online store's shopping basket. First-party cookies are created and placed by the visited website.
• Third-party cookies: These are generated and stored on your computer by a third party other than the website you are visiting. They capture user behavior, with examples including social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter, as well as tools like Google Analytics, widely used for website visit measurement.

It's recommended to review the privacy statement of the respective game distributor before engaging in gameplay.

For more details regarding the use of cookies and web beacons by third parties, including their purposes and the information gathered, please refer to the privacy policies of these third parties. Your acceptance of Play8' Privacy Policy, through your use of the site implies that third parties may deploy cookies and/or web beacons for advertising and tracking purposes.
