Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies serve various functions, such as remembering your preferences, tracking your browsing behaviour, and helping to ensure the security of your online activities. They can be temporary, meaning they expire when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

At Panosta, we use cookies to enhance your experience, understand how our services are used, and tailor our offerings to your interests. This policy explains what cookies are, how Panosta uses them, and what you can do to manage your cookie preferences.

Panosta uses cookies for several important reasons, all aimed at improving your interaction with our platform and ensuring the smooth operation of our services. These reasons include maintaining the security of your account, remembering your login details, understanding which parts of our website are most popular, and delivering relevant advertisements. Our use of cookies helps us to provide a personalised and efficient service to all our players.

We classify the cookies we use into several categories, each serving a distinct purpose. These categories help us to manage our cookie usage effectively and provide you with clear information about how your data is handled.

Essential cookies, sometimes called strictly necessary cookies, are fundamental to the operation of the Panosta website. Without these cookies, certain core functions of our platform would not be available. They enable you to navigate our site, log in to your account, and access secure areas. For example, essential cookies help us to remember your login status as you move between different pages, ensuring you don't have to re-enter your credentials repeatedly. They also support critical security features, such as preventing fraudulent activities and protecting user data.

Because these cookies are vital for the website to function correctly, they cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but doing so will prevent the website from operating as intended, and certain services may become unavailable.

Analytics cookies gather information about how visitors use the Panosta website. This data helps us understand user behaviour, identify areas for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of our content and services. For instance, these cookies track which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and if they encounter any errors. The information collected is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not directly identify you as an individual.

By analysing this data, Panosta can make informed decisions about website design, content strategy, and overall user experience. We use this information to optimise our platform, ensuring it remains user-friendly and efficient for all our players.

Functional cookies allow the Panosta website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, these cookies can remember your preferred language, region, or username, so you don't have to set them each time you visit. They also enable us to offer services you have requested, such as remembering your betting preferences or displaying recently played games.

While not strictly essential for the website's operation, functional cookies significantly improve your experience by making it more convenient and tailored to your individual needs. Disabling these cookies may result in a less personalised experience on Panosta.

Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing habits across different websites to build a profile of your interests. This information is then used by Panosta and our advertising partners to display targeted ads on our site and on other platforms you visit.

These cookies also help us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement. They can also be used to track if you have clicked on an advertisement and subsequently visited our website. Panosta uses these cookies to ensure our marketing efforts are efficient and provide value to our potential and existing players.

In addition to the cookies Panosta sets directly, we also use various third-party cookies. These cookies are set by domains other than our own and are typically used for analytics, advertising, and social media integration. For example, we might use third-party analytics services to help us understand website traffic, or third-party advertising networks to manage our promotional campaigns.

When you encounter third-party cookies on our site, it means that the third party is collecting information about your browsing activity. Panosta carefully selects its third-party partners and ensures they adhere to relevant data protection standards. However, the management of these cookies is often governed by the third party's own cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

The duration for which a cookie remains on your device depends on its type. Cookies can be categorised as either session cookies or persistent cookies.

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. Session cookies are typically used to remember your activities during a single visit, such as items in a shopping cart or your login status.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer, predetermined period, even after you close your browser. The duration can range from a few minutes to several years. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits, such as your language choice or login details. Panosta uses persistent cookies to enhance your long-term experience on our platform.

The expiry date of each persistent cookie is set by the cookie's creator. You can typically find information about cookie expiry dates within your browser's settings.

You have control over the cookies placed on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through their settings. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. You can also delete existing cookies from your browser history.

Please be aware that if you choose to disable or block certain cookies, particularly essential cookies, some parts of the Panosta website may not function correctly or may become inaccessible. Your experience on our platform might be less personalised, and you may not be able to utilise all our services. For detailed instructions on how to manage cookies, you can consult the help section of your specific web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Additionally, for advertising cookies, many third-party advertisers offer opt-out mechanisms. You can visit websites like the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) to learn more about opting out of targeted advertising.

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Panosta does not currently recognise or respond to DNT signals from web browsers.

Instead, we offer comprehensive options for managing your cookie preferences directly through our cookie consent tool and your browser settings, as outlined in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section of this policy. We believe this approach provides clear and effective control over your data.

Panosta may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our website and, where appropriate, by other means such as email. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we use cookies. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised.

Your continued use of the Panosta website after any changes to this Cookie Policy signifies your acceptance of the updated terms.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Cookie Policy or Panosta's use of cookies, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our dedicated support team is available to assist you.
