Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve your experience. It applies whenever you browse content, create an account, or interact with features connected to plinko on our platform. Cookies help us remember preferences, measure performance, and keep sessions stable. We also use them to understand which pages are useful and how visitors navigate. By reading this policy, you will learn which cookies we set, why we set them, and how you can control them. If you access tools related to the plinko game, this same policy governs those interactions as well.

The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to provide a clear, human-readable explanation of what our cookies do and how they affect your privacy. We outline the categories we use, the legal bases for processing, and the choices available to you. Our aim is transparency, so you can make informed decisions without technical jargon. The policy also shows you where settings live and what trade-offs might occur when you disable certain tools. Whether you only browse or explore features tied to plinko, these explanations apply equally.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser at the request of a website. Some are session cookies that expire when you close the browser, while others are persistent and last for a defined period. First-party cookies are set by us, and third-party cookies come from providers that deliver analytics or embedded services. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels can serve comparable purposes. We rely on these mechanisms to keep logins stable and to remember preferences for experiences associated with plinko. In areas that reference the plinko game, these tools help pages load reliably and reduce repetitive prompts.

How and why cookies are used

We use cookies to provide core functionality, improve performance, and support security. Functional cookies keep sessions active, remember choices like language, and hold temporary data needed to run parts of plinko features. Performance cookies tell us which pages are working and where users struggle, so we can refine flows around the plinko game without collecting unnecessary data. Security-related cookies help detect unusual activity and prevent unauthorized access. Advertising or measurement cookies, where used, are scoped and limited to purposes described here. You can review details below and decide which categories you prefer when interacting with plinko content.

  • Strictly necessary: session continuity, load balancing, and routing to the correct server.

  • Preferences: language, region, accessibility options, and saved interface choices.

  • Analytics: page views, feature usage, and diagnostic data in aggregate.

  • Security: fraud detection, abuse prevention, and rate limiting.

  • Advertising and measurement: optional reach and frequency metrics based on consent.

Where possible, we minimize data stored in cookies and prefer short retention periods. Analytics values are aggregated and are not used to build personal profiles. If we run A/B tests, identifiers are randomized and rotated to reduce persistence. Some third-party providers process data as independent controllers, and details are presented inside their service dialogs; you may choose not to enable them. When features relate to plinko, disabling certain categories may limit non-essential enhancements but not basic browsing. If you opt out of cookies attached to the plinko game, gameplay pages may still load, yet some convenience features could be unavailable.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port personal data processed via cookies. You can change consent choices at any time using on-site controls or your browser settings. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object and we will assess the request in line with applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. These rights apply even if your interactions are limited to pages connected with plinko.

Before using the steps below, consider whether you want to keep helpful preferences or start fresh with a clean slate. The sequence is designed to give you control without breaking essential functionality. After adjustments, revisit our site to ensure the settings behave as expected. If a change seems ineffective, verify it on the same device and browser you originally used. Follow these steps carefully and document your choices for future reference.

  1. Open our consent manager to allow or deny specific cookie categories.

  2. Adjust your browser settings to block, clear, or limit cookies per site.

  3. Where offered, use third-party opt-outs for analytics or measurement providers.

  4. Clear cookies and local storage, then reload pages to refresh preferences.

  5. If needed, email a rights request so we can assist with cookie-related data.

If you block or delete cookies, some features may stop working as designed, and previously saved choices might be forgotten. Browser controls usually remove first-party cookies per device, so settings on one phone will not affect another. Consent choices will be honored and refreshed periodically to confirm your preferences. If you clear storage and revisit, we may ask for your selection again so that the experience tied to plinko remains consistent. Where optional partners are involved in the plinko game, their tools are activated only after an affirmative action from you. You can always revisit the banner or in-page control to update cookie categories for plinko content.

Contact details

If you have questions about cookies or data rights, contact our privacy team. The preferred channel is email at contact@plinkoapp.org.za, and we aim to respond in a reasonable timeframe. When writing, include your device type, browser, and relevant timestamps to help us investigate. For security, avoid sending sensitive information in plain text. Requests concerning services connected to plinko should specify the pages or features you used. If your inquiry involves the plinko game, mention any consent choices you changed so we can trace the behavior accurately.

Effective Date

This Cookie Policy takes effect on September 17, 2025, and replaces prior versions. We may update the document to reflect changes in technology, law, or our service architecture. Material updates will be announced through an on-site notice or banner before they apply. Each section includes principles that remain stable even as specific providers change. If you continue using features related to plinko after an update, the newest version will govern those interactions. Previous versions can be made available upon request for reference.
