Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable a website to remember your actions and preferences, such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences, over a period of time. This means you don't 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 track how you use the site, allowing us to tailor content and advertisements to your interests.

At Shikaka, we use cookies to enhance your gaming experience, ensure the security of our platform, and understand how our services are being used. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

How We Use Cookies

Shikaka uses cookies for several purposes. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, allowing you to navigate and use essential features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Other cookies help us to understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and if they encounter any errors. This information helps us to improve the design and functionality of Shikaka. We also use cookies to remember your preferences and choices, making your return visits more convenient and personalised. Finally, certain cookies are employed for marketing and advertising purposes, helping us to deliver relevant content and promotions to you.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies, also known as strictly necessary cookies, are fundamental to the operation of the Shikaka website. Without these cookies, our services would not function correctly, and you would be unable to use many of the features that make our platform enjoyable and secure. These cookies enable core functionalities like security, network management, and accessibility. For example, they allow you to log into your account, add funds, place bets, and withdraw winnings. They also ensure the integrity of your session and protect against fraudulent activities. Because these cookies are vital for the website to work, they cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Shikaka website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and if they encounter any error messages. These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies you. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. The data helps us to understand and analyse user behaviour on our site, allowing us to measure and improve the performance of Shikaka. For instance, we might use this data to identify areas of the website that need improvement or to optimise the user journey. By understanding how our services are used, we can make informed decisions to enhance your overall experience.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Shikaka website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, 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 parts of web pages that you can customise. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. Their purpose is to provide a more convenient and personalised experience on Shikaka, saving you time and effort by recalling your settings for future visits.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

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 the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations, such as advertisers. At Shikaka, we use these cookies to tailor our promotional offers and communications to your preferences, ensuring that you receive information about games and bonuses that are likely to be of interest to you. This helps us to make our marketing efforts more efficient and less intrusive for our players.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to the cookies Shikaka sets directly, we also use various third-party cookies for reporting usage statistics, delivering advertisements, and more. Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. For instance, if you visit the Shikaka website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. These cookies are often used by partners who provide services on our behalf, such as analytics providers, payment processors, or advertising networks. We carefully select our third-party partners and ensure they adhere to strict data protection standards. While we do not control the setting of these cookies, we strive to provide you with information about them and options to manage your preferences where possible. Please note that the privacy policies of these third parties govern their use of cookies.

How Long Cookies Last

The duration for which a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and typically expire when you close your browser. They are used to link your actions during a single browsing session. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie itself, or until you delete them. These cookies are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Shikaka uses both session and persistent cookies to provide a comprehensive and efficient user experience. For example, a session cookie might keep you logged in during a single visit, while a persistent cookie might remember your language preference for future visits.

Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting the settings in your web browser. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. Be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of Shikaka and many other websites that you visit. For example, you may not be able to log in or use certain features. The methods for managing cookies vary from browser to browser. You can usually find these settings in the 'Options' or 'Preferences' menu of your browser. You can also use the 'Help' option in your browser for more details. For more information on how to manage and delete cookies, you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. Therefore, Shikaka does not currently respond to DNT signals. We continue to monitor developments in this area and will update our practices if a standard for responding to DNT signals is established. In the meantime, you can manage your cookie preferences directly through your browser settings as described in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section of this policy to control the collection of information for certain purposes.

Shikaka may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. Significant changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on our website or through other appropriate communication channels. Your continued use of the Shikaka platform after any changes to this Cookie Policy will signify your acceptance of such changes.
