Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how rankings-game.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using the site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy and your choices (where we rely on consent).

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, to support security features, and to provide information to the site owner about how the site is used. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics provider). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them). Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which may be used for similar purposes; when we refer to "cookies" in this policy we may also be referring to these where relevant.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes. Essential cookies are necessary for the site to function and cannot be switched off; they are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie consent preferences or using age verification. We use a cookie (or similar storage) to remember whether you have accepted or rejected non-essential cookies, so that we do not show the cookie banner again on every visit and so that we can respect your choice. We may use cookies to maintain session state, to keep the site secure, and to ensure that certain features work correctly. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies for targeted advertising on this site. We respect your consent; when you first visit the site you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored and applied on subsequent visits until you change it or clear your cookies.

Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies: These are required for the operation of the site. They include, for example, cookies that remember your cookie consent choice and support the age verification modal. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work properly. Functional cookies: These allow the site to remember choices you make (such as your cookie preference) and to provide enhanced or more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Performance or analytics cookies: If we use these, they help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting and reporting information anonymously (e.g. number of visitors, pages viewed). This helps us improve the site. We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites for marketing purposes.

Your choices

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. When you first visit the site, you can use the cookie banner to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the cookies stored by your browser for this site and then revisiting the site; you will be presented with the cookie banner again and can make a new choice. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings; you can typically block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. The method for doing this varies by browser; you can usually find instructions in your browser's help or settings menu. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how the site works. For example, if you block all cookies, we may not be able to remember your cookie consent choice, so the banner may appear on every visit, and some features may not function as intended.

Third-party cookies

Our site contains links to third-party websites, including online gambling operators and responsible gambling organisations. When you click on these links and leave our site, those third-party sites may set their own cookies and collect data in accordance with their own policies. We do not control third-party cookies or the data practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party site you visit. We do not use third-party advertising networks or social media plug-ins that set cookies for tracking or advertising on our site.

Duration of cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g. one year) or until you delete them. The cookie we use to store your consent preference is a persistent cookie so that we can remember your choice on future visits. You can delete it at any time via your browser settings if you wish to change your choice.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in the technologies we use, or in the law. We will post the updated policy on this page. Your continued use of the site after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If we make material changes that affect how we use cookies, we may also prompt you to review your cookie choices again. We encourage you to check this page periodically for the latest information.
