Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device, such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable a website to remember your actions and preferences, like login information, language, font size, and other display preferences, over a period of time. This means you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also be used to collect data about your browsing habits, which can then be used to tailor content and advertisements to your interests.

At GeckoPlay, we use cookies to enhance your gaming experience, ensure the security of our platform, and understand how our services are being used. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how GeckoPlay uses them, the types of cookies we employ, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

GeckoPlay uses cookies for several purposes. Primarily, they help us to operate our website effectively and securely. Cookies allow us to remember your preferences, provide personalised content, and analyse our site traffic. By understanding how you interact with GeckoPlay, we can continuously improve our services and offer a more tailored and enjoyable experience.

• Authentication: Cookies help us identify you when you log in, so you do not have to re-enter your credentials every time you visit a new page.
• Security: We use cookies to detect and prevent fraudulent activities, ensuring a safe environment for all our players.
• Personalisation: Cookies enable us to remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or game settings, to customise your experience on GeckoPlay.
• Performance and Analytics: We use cookies to gather information about how visitors use our website, which pages they visit most often, and if they encounter error messages. This data helps us improve the performance and design of GeckoPlay.
• Advertising: Cookies help us deliver relevant advertisements to you and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Essential cookies are fundamental to the operation of the GeckoPlay website. Without these cookies, certain core functionalities would not be available, and you would not be able to use our services as intended. They are necessary for you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, managing your account, and processing transactions.

These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting privacy preferences. Because they are essential for the website to function, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site works. Your consent is not typically required for these cookies under relevant data protection laws, as their purpose is strictly to enable the provision of a service explicitly requested by you.

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the GeckoPlay website. This includes data such as which pages are visited most often, the time spent on each page, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. The insights gained from analytics cookies help us understand user behaviour, identify areas for improvement, and optimise the performance and design of our website.

For example, we might use analytics cookies to determine which games are most popular, or to identify issues with our site navigation. By analysing this data, GeckoPlay can make informed decisions to enhance the user experience and ensure our platform remains efficient and user-friendly. We use reputable third-party analytics providers for this purpose, who are also committed to data privacy.

Functional cookies allow the GeckoPlay website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For instance, these cookies can remember your username, language preference, or the region you are in. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customisable parts of web pages. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

These cookies are designed to improve your experience by making the website more convenient and efficient for you. If you choose to disable functional cookies, some features of GeckoPlay may not work correctly, or your experience may be less convenient. For example, you might have to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.

Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations, such as advertisers.

At GeckoPlay, we use these cookies to tailor our marketing efforts, ensuring that you receive information about promotions and new games that are likely to appeal to you. This also helps us avoid showing you irrelevant advertisements. While these cookies do not directly store personal information, they can uniquely identify your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

In addition to the cookies set by GeckoPlay directly, we also use various third-party cookies. These cookies are set by domains other than our own. Third-party cookies are often used for site analytics, advertising, and social media integration. For example, we may use services like Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with our website, or integrate social media sharing buttons that set their own cookies.

The use of third-party cookies is subject to the respective privacy and cookie policies of these third parties. GeckoPlay does not have direct control over these cookies or the data they collect. We carefully select our third-party partners to ensure they adhere to high standards of data protection and privacy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties for more information on their cookie practices.

The duration for which a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie.

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain on your device only until you close your web browser. Once you close your browser, session cookies are deleted. They are typically used for essential functions, such as enabling you to navigate between pages without having to log in again on each page.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie itself, or until you delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Persistent cookies are used for various purposes, including remembering your preferences, analysing site usage, and delivering targeted advertisements.

The exact expiration period for each cookie used by GeckoPlay varies. You can usually find this information in your browser's cookie settings.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of GeckoPlay and your ability to use certain features. You may also need to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit our site.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Each browser provides different methods for managing cookies. Typically, these settings can be found in the "Options," "Tools," or "Preferences" menu of your browser. You can usually:

• See what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block cookies from specific sites.
• Block all cookies from being set.
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the help section of your browser or visit websites like AllAboutCookies.org. Please note that if you clear your cookies, you may also clear any opt-out cookies, meaning you would need to opt out again.

"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When DNT is enabled, it sends a signal to websites indicating that the user does not want their online activities to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Therefore, GeckoPlay does not currently respond to DNT signals.

We will continue to monitor developments around DNT and other privacy technologies. In the meantime, you can manage your privacy preferences, including cookie settings, through the methods described in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section of this policy. Your privacy remains important to GeckoPlay, and we are committed to providing transparency regarding our data practices.

GeckoPlay may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies and related technologies.

Significant changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on our website or directly to you, where appropriate. Your continued use of the GeckoPlay platform after any modifications to this policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our dedicated support team is available to assist you with any inquiries you may have regarding your privacy and data protection at GeckoPlay.

You can reach us through the following methods:

• Email: [email protected]
