Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for Shikaka to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. These cookies enable core functionality such as account authentication, payment processing, and security features that protect your personal and financial information.
Without essential cookies, you would not be able to log into your account, place bets, or access many of our casino games. These cookies also help us detect and prevent fraudulent activity, ensuring a safe gaming environment for all players. Essential cookies typically expire when you close your browser or after a predetermined security timeout period.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how players interact with the Shikaka website and mobile applications. We collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on different sections, and which games are most popular among our player base.
This data allows us to identify technical issues, optimize game loading times, and make informed decisions about new features and game additions. All analytics data is processed in aggregate form and cannot be used to identify individual players. You can opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings without affecting your ability to play games or access your account.
