This Cookie Policy explains how Pokey Prizes ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on pokeyprizes.com. By continuing to use our site, you agree to our use of essential cookies. For optional cookies, we will ask for your consent via our cookie banner.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by other organisations (such as our payment processor) are called "third-party cookies".
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or completing a payment. No consent is required for these cookies.
