3. Third-Party Cookies
3.1 Some cookies on Vegas Nova are set by third-party partners who help us deliver our services. These include: (a) game studios and content providers, for game functionality and fair-play verification; (b) Google Analytics, for aggregated usage analytics; and (c) payment processors, for secure transaction handling and fraud screening.
3.2 We do not allow any third party to use cookies for their own advertising or marketing purposes through our platform. Any third-party cookie on Vegas Nova is strictly limited to service delivery, analytics, and security functions.
4. Cookie Lifespan
4.1 Cookies we use fall into two categories by lifespan. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for login authentication, game sessions, and navigation. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period after your session ends. They are used for preference memory, fraud detection baselines, and analytics. Persistent cookies on our platform typically last between 30 days and 24 months, depending on their function.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
5.1 You have several options for managing cookies on our platform.
5.2 Browser settings: most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies through their settings menu. Please note that disabling Strictly Necessary or Security cookies will impair the functionality of our platform, including login, gameplay, and payments. Browser-specific instructions: Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data; Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data; Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data; Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
5.3 Google Analytics opt-out: to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5.4 Do Not Track (DNT): some browsers transmit a Do Not Track signal. Our platform does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for DNT. We will update this position if a recognised standard is adopted.
6. Consent
6.1 When you first visit Vegas Nova, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Strictly Necessary and Security cookies are active by default as they are essential to platform operation. Analytics and Functional cookies require your explicit consent before being activated.
6.2 You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by accessing the cookie preference centre from the footer of our website. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies does not affect your ability to use the core features of the platform.
