Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. These files contain information that helps websites remember your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior. At Shikaka, we use cookies to enhance your gaming experience and ensure our platform operates smoothly.

Cookies cannot access other files on your device or install software. They serve as a communication tool between your browser and our servers, allowing us to recognize you when you return to our casino and maintain your account security throughout your session.

How We Use Cookies

Shikaka uses cookies for several essential purposes that directly benefit your experience on our platform. We collect information about how you interact with our games, which pages you visit, and how long you spend in different sections of our casino. This data helps us identify technical issues, improve game performance, and customize content based on your preferences.

We also use cookies to maintain your login session, remember your language settings, and track your responsible gambling limits. Without certain cookies, you would need to re-enter your login credentials every time you navigate to a new page, and your personalized settings would reset with each visit.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for Shikaka to function properly and cannot be disabled without severely impacting your ability to use our services. These cookies enable core functionality including user authentication, session management, and security features that protect your account from unauthorized access.

We use essential cookies to remember your login status, maintain your gaming session, process deposits and withdrawals securely, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. These cookies also help us detect and prevent fraudulent activity on your account.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how players use Shikaka by collecting information about page views, game preferences, and user behavior patterns. We analyze this data to identify popular games, optimize our website performance, and improve the overall user experience.

These cookies track metrics such as which games you play most frequently, how long your gaming sessions last, and which promotional offers generate the most interest. This information helps us make data-driven decisions about game selection, website layout, and promotional strategies.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and settings. When you select your preferred language, adjust display settings, or customize your dashboard layout, functional cookies store these choices so they persist across your visits to Shikaka.

These cookies also remember your responsible gambling settings, including deposit limits, session time limits, and self-exclusion preferences. This ensures your protective measures remain active even if you clear your browser cache or access your account from different devices.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies help us deliver relevant promotional content and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies track which promotional emails you open, which bonuses you claim, and how you respond to different marketing messages.

We use this information to personalize promotional offers, avoid showing you advertisements for games you already play regularly, and ensure our marketing communications align with your interests. You can opt out of marketing cookies without affecting your ability to play games or access core features at Shikaka.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on Shikaka are set by third-party services that we integrate with to provide enhanced functionality. These include payment processors, game providers, customer support platforms, and analytics services. Each third-party provider operates under their own privacy policies and cookie practices.

We carefully select our third-party partners and require them to meet strict data protection standards. However, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services if you want detailed information about their specific cookie usage and data handling practices.

How Long Cookies Last

Cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for predetermined periods. Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session, while preference cookies may persist for several months to maintain your settings.

Analytics and marketing cookies generally expire after one to two years, though some may have shorter lifespans. We regularly review and update cookie expiration periods to ensure they align with their intended purposes and comply with applicable data protection regulations.

Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences or our cookie management tool. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or receive notifications before cookies are set. However, disabling essential cookies will prevent you from accessing your Shikaka account and playing games.

To modify cookie settings in popular browsers, access the privacy or security section of your browser settings. You can also delete existing cookies, though this will reset your preferences and may require you to log in again.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that sends signals to websites requesting not to track user behavior. Currently, there is no industry standard for responding to these signals, and Shikaka does not alter its cookie practices based on Do Not Track requests.

We provide alternative methods for controlling your privacy preferences through our cookie management tools and account settings, which offer more granular control over data collection and usage.

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable regulations. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through your registered email address or by displaying a prominent notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how Shikaka uses cookies and how these practices may affect your privacy and gaming experience.

Our team can provide additional information about specific cookies and help you adjust your privacy settings according to your preferences.
