Cookie Policy

Introduction and Purpose of This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains in detail how Crownplay uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies to recognize users who visit our platform. On this page, you will find comprehensive explanations of what these technologies are, why we use them, and what your rights are in controlling their use. Our goal is to ensure maximum transparency regarding the methods of collecting and storing technical data during your browsing. We invite you to read this document carefully to fully understand the impact of cookies on your user experience.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or any other internet-enabled device) when you visit an online platform. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make platforms work or to make them work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting and analytics information. Cookies set by the platform owner are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the platform owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the platform (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our platform and when it visits certain other platforms.

Why We Use Cookies

We use first- and third-party cookies for various reasons. Some cookies are technically necessary for the operation of our platform, and we refer to these as "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies allow us to track and target the interests of our users to improve the experience on our platform. Third parties serve cookies through our platform for analytics and other legitimate purposes. Specifically, the use of cookies allows us to keep your session active, remember your language preferences, analyze traffic flows to optimize servers, and ensure the security of transactions and user data.

Categories of Cookies Used

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our platform and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, the services you have requested, such as shopping carts or electronic invoicing, cannot be provided. Since these cookies are strictly necessary for the provision of the platform, you cannot refuse them without affecting the functioning of the platform itself. They are usually set only in response to actions taken by you that constitute a request for services, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our platform is used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us personalize our platform for you. They help us know which pages are most or least popular and see how visitors move around the platform. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you visited our platform and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the platform to provide advanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personalized experience based on your previous visits and selections. For example, they may remember your preferred language or the region you are in. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Where applicable, these cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions such as preventing the same ad from reappearing continuously, ensuring that ads are displayed correctly for advertisers, and in some cases, selecting ads based on your interests. They may be set on our platform by our advertising partners. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Currently, we limit the use of these cookies to campaigns strictly necessary for the promotion of our services, without selling profiles to third parties.

Approach to Consent and Preference Management

We respect your right to privacy and offer you tools to manage your cookie preferences. When you first access our platform, you will be shown a cookie banner that will allow you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your choices. You can change these preferences at any time by visiting the privacy settings section or by clicking on the cookie management link in the footer of our platform.

How to Manage Cookies in Browsers

In addition to the consent tools provided on our platform, you have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies through your web browser's controls. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through browser controls vary from one browser to another, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. For example:

In Google Chrome, you can manage cookies by going to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.

In Mozilla Firefox, go to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.

In Apple Safari, go to Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.

Please note that if you choose to reject cookies, you will still be able to use our platform, although your access to some features and some areas may be limited.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report statistics on platform usage, serve advertisements on and through the platform, and so on. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our platform. We do not have complete control over these cookies. We encourage you to consult the privacy policies of these third parties for more information on how they use cookies and your rights in relation thereto.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We therefore invite you to revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the beginning of this Policy indicates when it was last updated.
