1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide analytical information to site owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

TideWinnz (tidewinnz.com) uses cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage) for the following purposes:

a) Essential / Functional Cookies

These are necessary for the Platform to function properly. They include:

  • Age Verification: We store your age confirmation response in localStorage so you don't need to verify your age on every visit.
  • Cookie Consent: We remember your cookie preferences so the consent banner isn't shown repeatedly.

b) Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the Platform, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and which devices are used. This data is collected anonymously and helps us improve our services. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies.

c) Performance Cookies

These cookies help us monitor the Platform's performance and ensure games load efficiently. They may record loading times and any errors encountered during your session.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties when you use our Platform. For example, the embedded game demo (provided by Play'n GO) may use its own cookies to function properly. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these providers.

4. localStorage Usage

In addition to traditional cookies, we use the browser's localStorage feature to store:

  • Your age verification confirmation (tw_age_verified)
  • Your cookie consent preference (tw_cookie_consent)

These values remain stored in your browser until you manually clear your browser data. They contain no personal information and are used solely to improve your browsing experience.

5. Managing and Deleting Cookies

You have the right to accept or decline cookies. When you first visit our Platform, a cookie consent banner will appear, giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View all cookies stored on your device.
  • Delete all or specific cookies.
  • Block all or certain types of cookies.
  • Set preferences for specific websites.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. For example, you may need to verify your age again or see the cookie consent banner on each visit.

To clear localStorage data, you can use your browser's developer tools (usually accessible via F12) and navigate to the Application or Storage tab.

6. Data We Do NOT Collect

TideWinnz wants to be transparent about what we do not do:

  • We do not collect financial information (credit cards, bank accounts, etc.).
  • We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties for marketing purposes.
  • We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.
  • We do not create personal profiles based on your browsing activity.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
