What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website or use our online services. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can store information specific to a user’s session and can help personalize your experience. Although cookies do not contain personal information by themselves, they can be linked to data stored on our servers and may contribute to your overall profile when combined with other information.

In addition to cookies, our site utilizes similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects to collect and store technical and statistical data. Understanding how these technologies work and how they contribute to our service allows you to make informed choices regarding your privacy and data security.

How We Use Cookies

At WheelMystic, our use of cookies is designed to improve your experience on our social casino platform by remembering your preferences, enhancing navigability, and providing customized content when you return. The data collected through cookies may include, for example, your session details, language settings, device information, and browsing patterns, which allow us to continually optimize our website's performance and user interaction.

Specifically, cookies are used for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the website, including security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, some features of the website may not operate correctly.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting data on page visits, navigation paths, and other analytical information. This data allows us to improve structure and usability.
• Functionality Cookies: Functionality cookies are used to offer enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering your preferred settings and gaming preferences on our social casino platform.
• Advertising and Targeting Cookies: These cookies are utilized for delivering advertisements that are more relevant to you by analyzing your interests and online behavior. They also help in reporting the performance of advertising campaigns and ensuring that ads are not repeated excessively.

We use both first-party cookies, which are set by WheelMystic, and third-party cookies provided by external partners. While first-party cookies are under our control, third-party cookie usage is subject to the privacy policies of the respective providers.

Third-Party Cookies and Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies set directly from our site, we may enable cookies from third parties such as analytics providers, advertising partners, and social media networks. These third-party cookies allow us to monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and understand user behavior without compromising individual privacy.

It is important to note that while we take great measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the data collected through these cookies, third-party providers are responsible for maintaining their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they manage the data collected via cookies.

You have complete control over your cookie preferences. Most web browsers feature settings that allow you to block or delete cookies. The exact procedures vary from browser to browser; however, you can usually find instructions on how to adjust your settings from your browser’s "Help" or "Settings" menu.

If you choose to disable cookies, please be aware that some parts of the website may not function as intended, and you might experience reduced functionality in areas that rely on cookies to store your session information or actions.

Data Security and Storage

At WheelMystic, the security of your data is of paramount importance. We employ advanced security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and secure data storage protocols, to protect the information we collect via cookies and related technologies. This data, while mostly non-personal, is stored securely and is accessible only to authorized personnel.

In compliance with data protection laws, particularly the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the United Kingdom Data Protection Act, we ensure that data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. The retention period is carefully determined based on legal, operational, and technical criteria, and users have the right to request deletion of their data where applicable.

We also incorporate regular security assessments and updates to our system to mitigate any potential vulnerabilities. Despite these rigorous efforts, it is important to remain vigilant, as no system can be entirely impervious to security breaches.
