Cookies Policy for Dolphin Bingo
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience, provide a more personalized service, and understand how our site is used. This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites when you visit them. They contain information about your preferences and interactions with the website. Most modern web browsers accept cookies as a standard feature of their functionality.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies for several purposes, including:
Essential Cookies
We use essential cookies for operational purposes, including:
These cookies cannot be disabled without severely impacting the functionality of our site. They expire when your browsing session ends or after a short period, usually no longer than one week.
Session Cookies
Our site uses session cookies to identify you while you are logged in or interacting with specific features. These cookies do not store any personal data and exist only for the duration of your browsing session.
You can clear these cookies by closing your browser window, which automatically logs out all sessions tied to that device.
Persistent Cookies
In addition to essential and session-based cookies, we use persistent cookies to remember user preferences, such as language settings. These cookies remain on your device until you explicitly remove them or they expire after a specified period (usually 30-60 days).
You can control the retention of these cookies in your browser's cookie management tools.
Functional Cookies
These cookies are used for specific features and functionalities, like allowing logged-in users to post comments. They help improve our site's content delivery and user experience but do not contain sensitive information.
You can adjust or disable functional cookies through browser settings without significantly impacting the overall functionality of Dolphin Bingo.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to monitor how visitors interact with our website, including navigation patterns, average session time, and most popular content. These performance metrics help us refine site optimization strategies for better user engagement and improved search engine rankings.
However, these cookies may be set by third-party services beyond our control, which means they might not adhere strictly to the same data protection standards as ours.
Preference and Language Settings
We use preferences and language setting cookies to customize content delivery based on your preferred settings. These are usually stored for a reasonable period or cleared when you change them in your profile.
To manage these cookie preferences, navigate through our site's built-in user interface options for each section where applicable.
Login/Session Continuity
For logged-in users, our system uses cookies to persist session continuity and minimize the need for frequent re-authentication. This means that if you log out manually or from another device within a short time frame (usually less than 30 minutes), you can resume your activity seamlessly without needing full login procedures again.
Device Recognition
We utilize technology like Device Identification Numbers (DINs) to maintain user context, improve site responsiveness, and enhance search results. This data remains anonymous; we don’t collect personally identifiable information about individual devices.
However, it is used for targeted advertising based on your browsing history and preferences across various websites participating in this ecosystem.
Security-Related Cookies
Some cookies may be specifically designed to maintain our site's security features by managing session-based authentication tokens or verifying authenticity of user input. These cookies have limited scope beyond ensuring the integrity of sensitive areas within Dolphin Bingo’s web interface.
To avoid potential risks associated with malicious attacks on sites, such measures are implemented in alignment with relevant data protection regulations and guidelines for secure web development practices.
Browser Storage Technologies
While not explicitly considered as a category under traditional cookie classification, storage mechanisms (like IndexedDB or LocalStorage) enable improved functionality and user engagement across the modern web. When used responsibly by developers, these solutions support both site performance optimization and personalized experiences without compromising users' data protection rights.
Third-party integrations also often include similar technologies to manage cached resources for a more responsive experience when retrieving specific information from remote servers during subsequent page visits within acceptable time constraints (usually around 1 second).
However, since the usage scope can vary widely between platforms and integrators participating in such projects – they might incorporate data retention policies different than ours.
