Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device (computer, mobile phone or tablet) when you visit a website like Gambiva Casino. They contain information about the pages you've visited and how long it's been since you last logged in.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to improve your experience while browsing our site. Cookies help us remember:

• What pages you're interested in
• Your language preferences
• Whether you want to stay logged in or not

They also enable some of the website's essential functions, such as remembering what's in your shopping basket.

Types of cookies

We use different types of cookies on our site. Here's a brief explanation of each:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for Gambiva Casino's platform to work properly. We can't function without them!

• Login persistence: keeps you logged in after a period of inactivity
• Shopping basket preservation: remembers the items you've added

No personal data is stored within these cookies.

Session Cookies

Temporary cookies, used when browsing our site.

• Session tracking: helps us know which pages are popular and how users navigate through them
• Language detection: picks up your preferred language based on your browser settings or previous visits

These expire once you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies

Long-term cookies that stay stored even after closing the browser.

• Analytics data storage: stores aggregated analytics information to improve site performance
• Personalisation settings: allows us to remember preferences, such as font size and language choice

Some of these have an expiration date but most are active until you manually delete them.

Functional Cookies

Used to enhance user experience.

• Device recognition: identifies which device is being used for future optimisations
• Marketing preference management: allows users to opt-out from targeted marketing communications

Mostly used for minor functionality improvements and occasional advertising.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Help us understand how our platform operates.

• Traffic monitoring: measures total website traffic, helping identify performance bottlenecks
• Page loading speed analysis: analyses the time taken by each page on the site to load

Anonymous aggregated data is collected using tools like these for better site optimisation.

Preference and Language Settings

Cookies that remember user-specific preferences.

• Preferred language storage: keeps your preferred language saved within the browser
• Personal settings (like font size) are remembered too

These ensure a tailored browsing experience every time you visit Gambiva Casino.

Login/Session Continuity

To streamline login sessions, we use cookies to detect:

• Time elapsed since last activity (logging in or out)
• Persistent login: allows for quicker reconnection after logging off
• Device recognition helps us remember logged-in state

Please note these are mainly temporary and only activated upon request.

Security-Related Cookies

We may employ:

• Data encryption markers, used to indicate a secure session has been initiated.
• Anti-forgery tokens: protects against malicious activities like fake login attempts
• Session hijack detection cookies that identify suspicious login attempts

For internal purposes, we track and validate incoming requests.

Browser Storage Technologies

Cookies aren't the only storage tech on our platform. We use others to keep data safe:

• LocalStorage: allows saving small amounts of local data temporarily (e.g., authentication tokens)
• SessionStorage: preserves information during your visit but discards upon closing
• IndexedDB/Cache API: used by web apps to store persistent, structured data

Browsers will typically manage these automatically for the user.

Third-Party Integrations

Please note that we have partnered with other service providers who collect their own set of cookies. These may track:

• Usage patterns on our website
• Customer engagement metrics (like purchase frequency or abandoned cart rates)
• Additional advertising targeting

We only work with trusted third-party integrators, and all follow standard data protection guidelines.

Marketing/Communication Preferences

Cookies store your communication preferences so we respect:

• Opt-in/out of promotions and newsletter subscriptions
• Choice for language-specific content

These ensure targeted communications based on user interests.

Cookie Consent Management

To comply with EU legislation (GDPR), Gambiva Casino strives to be transparent about its cookie usage. This consent page provides details for users who wish to understand what we collect, how long it's stored and why.

Browser Cookie Controls

Your browser gives you control over cookies.

• You can enable or disable most types of cookies
• Set restrictions on third-party content tracking

Cookies remain in effect until manually cleared by the user through their browser settings.

Site Functionality Impact When Cookies Are Disabled

While Gambiva Casino is designed with functionality first and foremost in mind, turning off or removing cookies might affect site performance:

• Features using browser storage (e.g., user logins, shopping baskets)
• Data stored for accessibility features to not load correctly

You will notice some minor slowdowns but you'll still be able to access all main functionalities.
