Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about you or your actions when interacting with our website. They help us tailor the experience and functionality, allowing you to enjoy a seamless browsing experience.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for various purposes:

Essential functions: Cookies support key features like log-in persistence, which ensures that you remain logged in as long as your session remains valid.
Session management: We utilize session cookies to associate multiple requests from the same user during a limited time span. This facilitates smoother navigation and reduces errors by ensuring our servers can recognize returning sessions.

Essential Cookies

These are required for navigating or accessing certain services. They expire when you leave our website, except in cases of log-in persistence as mentioned above:

Session cookie: Our primary session management solution ensures that user data remains available while interacting with the site.
Login cookie: This persists after your first login to facilitate return visits without needing re-authentication.

Session Cookies

These are temporary and are removed once you close your browser. We use these for analytics, performance improvement, and security:

Performance cookies: These help us understand how our users navigate the site so that we can improve its structure and user interface.
Security cookies: They track suspicious patterns of activity to prevent unauthorized access.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for longer than session cookies. We use persistent cookies when you decide to save preferences or language settings:

Preference cookies: These store any changes made to appearance, layout options, font sizes, color schemes.
Language cookie: This stores the selected language of content on our site.

Functional Cookies

We may also set functional cookies for customizing your user experience. For instance, adjusting the layout or color scheme can result in these types of cookies being stored:

Layout settings: Adjustments to default spacing between sections.
Color palette selection: Custom themes chosen by users.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These are used to collect data about how you navigate our site, providing insights into usability issues. They help improve the user experience without personally identifiable information:

Google Analytics cookie: This is an essential tool for understanding behavior on our website.
Analytics performance metrics: We use this aggregated data not only to understand visitor patterns but also inform future updates and features.

Preference and Language Settings

If you choose to set your preferences, we save those as persistent cookies to ensure that they stick across visits. You can always update these settings or revert back:

User-defined colors: Your chosen palette is stored.
Layout overrides: Any alterations made by the user persist.

Upon successful login and provided no changes are initiated in preference, your browsing session continues uninterrupted with our server remembering you. Upon log-off, these cookies disappear to maintain a secure environment for future interactions:

Secure authentication cookies: These safeguard access while logged in.
Clear cache after exit: Cookies are cleared upon departure.

Device Recognition

Sometimes we employ specific technologies that work similarly to cookies but serve broader purposes such as tracking legitimate use of services across multiple sessions and detecting malicious behavior. For instance, recognizing repeated attacks from one user may trigger system responses designed to protect your data:

Browser fingerprinting: Some tools track device characteristics for analytics without the use of traditional cookies.
Device recognition headers: We may set a unique header on our pages that can identify legitimate users and sessions.

Security-related Cookies

These help keep interactions secure by monitoring suspicious behavior, such as multiple attempts to access accounts from different locations:

Two-factor authentication cookie: When enabled during login, it recognizes TFA credentials for seamless re-authentication.
Session timeout cookie: This auto-logs you out after extended periods of inactivity.

Browser Storage Technologies

Modern browsers support cookies and other storage options to optimize your interaction with websites:

LocalStorage is used when users grant us permission through permissions dialogs provided by their browser, so that it allows for efficient and smooth functioning without the need for actual session persistence.
Cache: Your interactions are temporarily stored within cache, but this does not impact cookie preferences or storage policies.

Third-party Integrations

LuckyWave Casino partners with various service providers to further improve performance:

Social media buttons: These may generate their own cookies when interacted with by users. Users should check terms of those respective third parties for detailed cookie policy information.
Third-party analytics: In addition to Google Analytics and performance metrics collected locally, other integrated services can track how we function as a system.
