This policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are set when you use the SlotOwl website. It covers standard HTTP cookies, local storage entries, pixels and software development kits used to track user interactions across devices. While the privacy policy describes the broader purposes of data processing, this document focuses specifically on the technologies used to store information on your device.

The operator of SlotOwl is responsible for first-party technologies that are set directly by our servers. These technologies include session identifiers that keep you logged in during a visit and preference settings that remember your currency choice. We do not set cookies on behalf of third parties, but we do allow them to place their own technologies when you access features they provide.

We extend this policy to all methods of storage, whether they use browser memory or application data. A pixel might not leave a file on your computer, but it still transmits information to a server. We treat all such mechanisms as covered by this document to ensure you understand what is stored, who stores it, and why it is there.

If you have questions about specific technologies or their purposes, you can contact our team via the contacts page. We aim to keep this policy precise and accessible so you can make informed choices about what you allow on your device while using our services.

This policy covers the scope of cookies used on our platform, including first-party and third-party technologies. It explains the purpose of each category and how you can manage your preferences. For more details on data processing, refer to the privacy policy. If you need further assistance, please contact us via the contacts page.

When you visit SlotOwl, you may encounter technologies set by parties other than us. These include analytics providers, payment processors, and affiliate tracking partners who operate independently. While we do not control these third parties, we require them to comply with data protection laws and to disclose their own purposes clearly. This separation ensures that you understand which entity is processing your data for what specific reason.

For instance, an analytics provider might track your session length to improve site performance, while an affiliate partner tracks your referral source for commission purposes. Each third party determines its own data retention policies and may combine your information with data from other websites you visit. Their separate privacy notices govern their individual processing activities, meaning you should review those documents to understand their specific practices.

We do not have access to the internal operations or data retention periods of these external providers beyond our contractual agreements. This trade-off allows us to offer advanced features and accurate tracking without managing every technical detail ourselves. However, you retain the right to object to certain third-party processing through your consent preferences or by contacting us directly.

It is important to note that some third parties may process data even when you have not consented, provided they have a legitimate interest. This could include fraud prevention systems operated by payment processors that require transaction data to function securely. Understanding these distinctions helps you make informed choices about which technologies to allow on the platform.

Technologies persist for different lengths of time depending on their category and the specific function they serve. Session technologies are deleted when you close your browser, ensuring no trace remains on your device after you leave. This approach balances convenience with privacy by avoiding long-term storage of temporary data that is no longer needed.

Persistent technologies remain until they expire or you delete them, typically lasting from a few days up to two years depending on their purpose. We set expiry dates based on how long the information is needed for the intended purpose, such as remembering your login status or tracking promotional eligibility. Once a persistent cookie reaches its expiry date, it is automatically removed from your device without requiring manual intervention.

We retain consent records indefinitely so that your preferences persist across visits and do not require re-selection each time you return. This ensures that your choices regarding essential versus non-essential technologies are respected consistently without unnecessary interruptions to your experience. However, you can update these preferences at any time through our privacy management tool.

If you choose to clear your browser data manually, you may remove both session and persistent technologies regardless of their designated expiry periods. This action resets your preferences to default, requiring you to make new selections the next time you visit. Understanding these mechanisms helps you maintain control over your digital footprint while enjoying a seamless browsing experience.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. Our commitment to transparency means we will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the site when significant changes occur. This ensures that you are always aware of how your data is being handled and what new technologies we may introduce.

When we make substantial modifications to our practices, we will highlight the key changes directly on the policy page before they take effect. You will have the opportunity to review these updates and understand their implications for your personal data before continuing to use the website. This proactive communication helps maintain trust and ensures you can make informed decisions about your continued engagement with our services.

Continued use of the website after such changes implies your acceptance of the updated terms, as stated in our terms of service agreement. However, if you object to the new provisions, you may choose to withdraw your consent or close your account accordingly. This balance allows us to adapt to evolving standards while respecting your right to control your personal information.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we process your data and what rights you possess. By staying aware of our practices, you can better understand the trade-offs involved in using our platform and make choices that align with your privacy preferences. This ongoing dialogue between us ensures that our practices remain aligned with your expectations and legal requirements.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but be aware that blocking strictly necessary technologies will break the site. Without these fundamental cookies, you cannot log in, maintain a session, or access the cashier functionality. This is because certain technologies are essential for the core operation of our platform and cannot be disabled without compromising service delivery.

Browser-level controls exist independently of the operator's consent tool, meaning they override our in-site preferences if used selectively. If you block all cookies including essential ones, you may find that your account remains inaccessible even if you have previously consented to non-essential categories. This highlights the importance of distinguishing between necessary and optional technologies when configuring your browser.

We recommend using our in-site preferences tool instead of blocking all cookies, as it provides granular control without disrupting essential functions. You can selectively permit marketing cookies while keeping session and functional cookies active to ensure a smooth user experience. This approach allows you to maintain privacy without sacrificing the ability to use our services effectively.

If you encounter any issues related to browser settings or cookie management, please direct your questions to our contacts page for further assistance. Our support team can provide guidance on how to configure your browser to work optimally with our platform while respecting your privacy choices. We are committed to helping you navigate these settings so that you can enjoy our services without unnecessary complications.
