Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device when you visit a website or application. This policy explains how Golden Genie Casino uses cookies and why they are necessary.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are used to store information about your interaction with our site, such as login details, language preferences, and session activity. They can be thought of as temporary storage units that help us remember what you've done while on our site.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for various purposes:

  • To identify you when logged in or during a session

  • For analytics to understand user behavior and optimize the performance of our application

Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website's basic functionality. They enable us to provide a smooth browsing experience:

  • Login persistence: Remembering login details so you don't need to log in multiple times
  • Session continuity: Maintaining session state after refreshes or idle periods

Session Cookies

Session cookies expire when the browser closes, meaning they're only stored temporarily while you use our site. They're used for tasks like:

  • Managing your session ID and login details
  • Tracking user activity during a single visit

  • Language and timezone settings

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with our platform. They're essential for identifying issues and optimizing performance, but they also provide insights into user behavior that can be used to improve the overall experience.

  • Performance cookies: Enable features such as crash reporting and error analysis

Preference and Language Settings

Cookies help you customize your browsing experience by remembering:

  • Your preferred language
  • Timezone settings for correct date and time display

This information is stored on your device, so even if you close the browser or clear data, these preferences can be remembered upon return.

Login/Session Continuity

We use cookies to maintain login sessions. This ensures that you don't have to re-login each time a page loads in between short periods of idle time and allows for seamless navigation within our site while maintaining security measures.

Some technologies may identify your browser or device, allowing us to understand visitor demographics or improve targeted advertising campaigns if you choose to enable this feature. However, we respect users' preferences regarding data collection by honoring their settings choices.

  • Anti-forgery tokens (CSRF protection)

These cookies help maintain the integrity of our system and protect user information.

Browser Storage Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, we use other local storage solutions within supported browsers. This allows us to store even more data about your visit without using actual cookie technology:

  • Web Storage: Enables storing larger amounts of structured data
  • IndexedDB: Offers high-performance client-side storage for efficient caching and content optimization

Some integrations with third-party services use cookies. These include social media platforms, analytical tools, or advertising networks to track interactions within these domains.

We only allow trusted companies to place cookies related to such features:

  • Social Media Cookies: Used by our integration partners
  • Advertising Technology (Cookies): Allow targeted ads

Some third-party integrations use cookies for personalization or behavioral analysis, enabling you to be contacted with relevant offers based on your interests. However, this requires explicit opt-in consent.

If a user has chosen not to enable personalized advertising or communication through these means, we respect their decision and don't collect this information.

  • Disabling Cookies in Your Browser: Note that this may hinder certain functionalities of our site, such as remembering login credentials.

Site Functionality Impact When Cookies Are Disabled

While we strive for seamless functionality even without cookies:

  • Login Persistence: You might need to relogin frequently if session cookies are blocked or deleted.
  • Session Continuity: Disruptions in browsing experience due to lost session data
