Cookies Policy for Candyland Casino

This page explains how Candyland Casino uses cookies and similar browser technologies to support site functionality, remember your preferences, measure performance, and keep your account secure. The goal is practical: help you understand what each category does and how to control it from your browser or account settings.

What are cookies and browser storage?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They hold data such as session identifiers, language choices, or preference flags. Modern sites also use related client-side storage options like localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB. Those technologies serve similar purposes but behave differently in terms of lifetime and when data is sent to the server.

Why Candyland Casino uses cookies

Keep you logged in and maintain session state while you browse.
Remember language and display preferences so pages load in your chosen format.
Measure site performance and aggregate usage patterns to improve speed and stability.
Provide basic security checks and detect suspicious activity during a session.
Support third-party features such as embedded players, payment flows, and analytics tools.

Cookie categories

Below are the cookie types you may encounter on Candyland Casino and what they do.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for the site to function. They enable core features like account login, secure session handling, server-side preferences, and checkout or payment initialisation. Disabling these cookies will prevent access to account areas and some transactional features.

Session cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open. They store temporary data such as session IDs and short-lived state required for navigation. Session cookies expire when you close the browser and are not kept long term.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a fixed period and help restore preferences between visits. Examples include a remembered language setting or a non-sensitive display preference. The retention period varies by cookie but is controlled by the site or the third-party provider that sets it.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable features that improve usability. They remember choices like sound preferences, grid or list view, and selected filters. Removing these cookies may reset those choices to defaults.

Preference and language settings

Cookies and localStorage entries keep track of language selection, content formats, and accessibility options. When you set a language or toggle interface options, the site stores that choice so subsequent pages display correctly without additional input.

Login and session continuity

Login persistence uses secure session tokens. If you choose a "remember me" option, a persistent token helps maintain your session across visits. For security, some tokens are flagged as HttpOnly and Secure so they are not accessible to client-side scripts and are only sent over encrypted connections.

Device recognition

Cookies and device fingerprints can be used to recognise devices you have used before. This speeds up login checks, helps detect unusual account access, and supports device-specific settings such as preferred payment methods or default language.

Security-related cookies

Security cookies help prevent fraud, detect automated traffic, and limit abusive behaviour. They can store short-term tokens used during sensitive operations and may support measures such as automatic session timeout after extended inactivity.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated, non-identifying information about site usage: pages visited, time on site, load times, and error rates. This data is used to diagnose performance issues, optimise page load, and understand overall usage patterns. Information is typically reported in aggregate form rather than linked to an individual user.

Technical diagnostics and optimisation

Technical cookies assist with troubleshooting and performance tuning. They may record events such as failed network requests, asset load times, and client-side errors. That data helps engineers prioritise fixes and improve stability for all users.

Third-party integrations

Third-party services used on the site may set their own cookies. This includes embedded payment widgets, content providers, social plugins, and analytics partners. These cookies are governed by the third party's policies. Candyland Casino does not control those cookies directly, but we aim to limit third-party storage to necessary or consented purposes.

Marketing and communication preferences

If you opt in to promotional communications, cookies may record that choice and tailor in-site messages or offers. Marketing cookies are used to measure campaign performance and, where you consent, to show relevant offers across partner sites. You can change these preferences at any time through the cookie settings or your account.

Cookie consent management

On first visit a cookie banner gives you clear options to accept, reject, or customise cookie categories. Your selection is stored so the same choices apply on return visits. You can revisit and update choices from the cookie settings link located in the site footer or from your account privacy panel.

Browser cookie controls and clearing cookies

You can manage or block cookies using your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to:

See and delete individual cookies or all cookies stored by a site.
Block cookies from third parties or block all cookies.
Enable private or incognito modes where session cookies are cleared after the window is closed.

If you clear cookies or block them entirely, some features such as staying logged in, saved preferences, and certain payment flows may not work correctly.

Clearing or disabling cookies - practical impact

Disabling cookies may cause:

Forced logouts and inability to access account-restricted areas.
Loss of saved preferences like language, theme, or display options.
Broken payment initiation sequences or interrupted transactions.
Reduced relevance of in-site messages and promotions.

Browser storage technologies explained briefly

Cookies are sent to the server with requests when configured to do so. LocalStorage and sessionStorage are local to the browser and are not automatically transmitted to the server. IndexedDB is used for larger structured data storage on the client. Each has pros and cons for privacy and persistence; Candyland Casino uses them only where they improve functionality or performance.

Aggregated analytics and privacy

Analytics data is used in aggregated form to understand trends, such as which pages are most visited or where users experience errors. Aggregated reports do not identify individual users. When analytics data is associated with a session for troubleshooting, it is handled with access controls and retained only as needed.

Managing your cookie choices

To update cookie settings at any time:

Open the cookie settings from the footer link or your account privacy panel.
Adjust categories such as functional, analytics, and marketing.
Save changes to update stored preferences immediately.

Revoking consent will disable non-essential cookies going forward; previously collected data related to those cookies may be anonymised or deleted according to our data handling practices.
