What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. These files contain information that helps websites remember your preferences, login status, and other details about your visit. At Shikaka, we use cookies to provide you with a personalized and secure gaming experience.
Cookies cannot harm your device or access personal files. They simply store data related to your interactions with our website, such as your language preference or items in your shopping cart. Most modern browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer.
How We Use Cookies
Shikaka uses cookies for several important purposes. We collect data to ensure our platform operates correctly, provide personalized content, analyze user behavior, and comply with regulatory requirements. Our cookie usage helps us maintain account security, process transactions, and deliver relevant promotional offers.
We categorize our cookies based on their function and purpose. Some cookies are essential for basic website operation, while others enhance your experience or help us understand how players interact with our games and services. All cookie usage complies with applicable data protection laws and our licensing requirements.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for Shikaka to function properly. These cookies enable core features like account login, transaction processing, and security verification. Without these cookies, you cannot access your player account or use our gaming services.
Essential cookies include session identifiers that maintain your login status, security tokens that protect against fraud, and technical cookies that ensure proper website functionality. We do not require your consent for essential cookies because they are strictly necessary for providing the services you request.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website and identify areas for improvement. These cookies collect information about page views, click patterns, time spent on different sections, and user journey paths through our platform.
We use this data to optimize game performance, improve navigation, and identify technical issues. Analytics cookies also help us understand which games are most popular and how players prefer to interact with our platform. This information guides our development priorities and helps us create better gaming experiences.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and settings. These cookies store information like your preferred language, currency, game display options, and notification preferences.
When you return to Shikaka, functional cookies ensure the website appears in your chosen language and displays content relevant to your location. These cookies also remember your game history and favorite games, making it easier to find content you enjoy. Functional cookies improve usability but are not essential for basic website operation.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies help us deliver relevant promotional content and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies track your interactions with promotional materials, bonus offers, and marketing communications.
We use marketing cookies to personalize bonus offers based on your gaming preferences and to avoid showing you the same advertisement repeatedly. These cookies also help us understand which marketing channels are most effective and optimize our promotional strategies. You can opt out of marketing cookies through your browser settings or our cookie preference center.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on Shikaka are set by third-party services we use to enhance our platform. These include payment processors, game providers, customer support tools, and analytics services. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of their respective providers.
We carefully select third-party partners and ensure they meet our security and privacy standards. However, we cannot control third-party cookie practices directly. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of our partners if you want detailed information about their cookie usage.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookie duration varies depending on their type and purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually.
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session or up to 30 days for security purposes. Analytics and functional cookies may persist for up to two years to provide consistent experiences across visits. Marketing cookies generally expire within 90 days, though some may last up to one year for campaign tracking purposes.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences or our cookie management tool. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies from specific websites. You can also set your browser to notify you before accepting cookies.
Disabling certain cookies may affect your Shikaka experience. Essential cookies cannot be disabled while using our services, but you can opt out of analytics, functional, and marketing cookies. Keep in mind that blocking functional cookies may require you to reset your preferences each time you visit our website.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that sends signals to websites requesting not to track user activity. Currently, there is no industry standard for interpreting these signals, and Shikaka does not respond to Do Not Track requests automatically.
Instead, we provide granular cookie controls that allow you to specify your tracking preferences directly. You can use our cookie settings or browser controls to achieve similar results to Do Not Track functionality.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through our website or other communication channels.
The updated policy will take effect immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how Shikaka uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
