Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files saved on your device when you visit our website. They help us tell visitors apart, keep core functions working and remember your settings.

Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies keep page navigation, secure login, account authentication, fraud checks and gameplay working, so they cannot be switched off. Performance cookies count visits and errors in an anonymous form so that we can improve the site. Functionality cookies remember choices such as your username, language, region and game settings. Targeting and advertising cookies record pages, games and general behaviour on our site to show more relevant adverts, to limit how often you see the same advert and to measure campaigns.

Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies last only while your browser is open. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set time or until you delete them, and they are read again when you come back. We use both kinds.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies come from partners we work with, such as game suppliers, advertising networks, analytics services and social media platforms. We do not control how those partners place them.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or in the settings menu of your mobile device. If you block strictly necessary cookies, signing up, logging in and parts of the site may stop working. The Reality Check reminder may also stop working without cookies or in private browsing.
