For logged-in users, cookies remember session IDs and preferences for easier navigation within the website.

Logging Out

When you log out of the site, all associated cookies are deleted to ensure security. If you encounter issues accessing certain features or data after logging back in, please clear your browser's cache or contact our support team.

Security-Related Cookies

Our platform includes various measures to protect user data and secure sessions:

CSRF Protection

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection is enforced through a cookie, which helps defend against malicious requests attempting to steal sensitive information.

Browser Storage Technologies

We make use of several browser storage technologies beyond cookies for storing different types of content. These include LocalStorage and SessionStorage.

  • Local Storage: Stores data on your device in the same location as other applications.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but its contents get deleted once you close your web browser.

Third-Party Integrations

Our website may feature integrations with external third-party services. These integrations use cookies and might also collect additional information, such as:

Google Analytics

Used for aggregated analytics purposes only (e.g., page view metrics).

  • Data Collected: Browser type, device info
  • Storage Location: Client-side via your browser's storage mechanism (not directly through third-party servers)

How do we ensure compliance with cookie consent regulations?

We comply strictly with GDPR guidelines regarding explicit user consent, right to withdraw consent at any point through browser controls or our preference center. 

Browser Cookie Controls

Most modern web browsers offer users the option to enable and disable cookies entirely.

Clearing Cookies

If you've saved a session ID cookie accidentally, clearing these will log out of your session completely while disabling essential functionality for our website. We encourage users to access browser settings manually whenever possible rather than using third-party tools that might have side effects on site performance.

Site Functionality Impact when Cookies are Disabled

While cookies can enhance your user experience with us, they're not necessary for all actions such as viewing public content like blogs or FAQs without logging in. However:

  • Some login-based functionality requires enabling these technologies.
  • Browsing experiences will be slightly suboptimal and lack personalized information due to missing session details.

Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimization

Our analytics tools help us improve the load times and page rendering efficiency for all users, including those on slower connections like public Wi-Fi. For faster loading speeds consider whitelisting our domain in browser cache storage or opting-in through third-party browser extensions specializing in blocking external resource requests that slow down your web pages.

Aggregated Analytics Information

We use anonymous aggregated data to optimize the performance of Pai Gow and enhance user experience without invading users’ privacy:

What Do We Collect?

Data may include but not be limited to: time on page, most viewed content areas, overall engagement metrics. None of this is personally identifiable information (PII), so your specific online behavior remains completely anonymous.

User Experience Improvements

Improving the browsing experience is an ongoing process that's based both on our technical diagnostics and user feedback collected through direct interactions like email contact forms or through third-party tools such as Net Promoter Score questionnaires integrated into chat widgets.
