LottoPlay.net Cookie Policy
Lottoplay.net (“We”, “Us”, “Our”, the “Website”) employs cookies. By accessing and using the Website with cookie-accepting browser settings, your use implies consent to our cookie practices, as initially communicated upon your first visit to our Website.
This Cookie Policy outlines what cookies are, the rationale and methods behind our use of both Own and Third-party cookies on our Website, and details your cookie preferences, specifically your options if you choose not to accept cookies from us.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites you visit send and store in your web browser. They enable websites (or third-parties) to recognize your visits (though not your individual identity), gather analytical data, and enhance their services and user experience.
Cookies fall into two categories: “persistent cookies” and “session cookies”. Persistent cookies are saved on your disk and remain there until they expire (as per their set duration) or until you manually remove them. Session cookies, on the other hand, are temporarily stored in memory for the duration of your visit. They are deleted when you exit the website (or close the browser), thereby ending your “session”.
Additionally, cookies can be classified as either “first-party” or “third-party”. First-party cookies are placed in your browser directly by the website you are visiting. In contrast, third-party cookies are set by external entities or services, such as advertising networks or analytics tools used by the website.
How Do We Use Cookies?
Cookies serve numerous purposes. Based on their function, they can be categorized into four types:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are vital for navigating and utilizing the website’s features. Without them, websites would not function correctly.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies gather data about how visitors use a website, providing operators with insights into visitor interactions. This information is used to enhance website functionality.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies remember your choices, like language preferences, so you donβt have to reset them each time you visit. They help personalize your experience on the website.
