Cookie Policy
1. Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small text documents that a website places on your browser, mobile device, or computer system when you access specific pages. They contain small data strings that help identify your connection and store basic functional preferences to ensure a smooth browsing experience.
2. Scope of this Cookie Policy
This document governs how Game Social Inc. uses cookies and similar local storage mechanisms when you browse our pages and launch slot simulators on GameSocial.sbs. This policy details each cookie category, its operational purpose, and your management choices.
3. Non-Commercial Operating Rules
Because GameSocial.sbs is entirely non-commercial and does not require registration or profiling, we do not implement commercial marketing cookies, advertising pixels, retargeting files, or behavior tracking scripts. Our cookies are restricted solely to essential technical utilities.
4. Essential and Functional Cookies
We deploy a functional cookie to log your choice on our cookie consent banner (i.e., whether you accepted or declined cookies). This cookie is essential because it prevents the site from showing you the banner repeatedly on every page reload.
5. Session-Based Temporary Files
We use session cookies to hold temporary parameters during your active visit. These parameters enable the game iframe switcher to function properly and help speed up page load times. These files are stored in your device's memory and are cleared automatically when you close the tab.
6. Third-Party Game Iframe Cookies
Our slot library loads game simulations via direct iframes hosted on third-party servers (Mascot, Play'n GO, Inspired Virgo, etc.). These external networks may set their own functional cookies to store player preferences (such as audio volume, spin speed) and to execute standard security checks.
7. Network Security Cookies
Our hosting and security providers may write cookies to confirm that your connection is secure, prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) exploits, and ensure that your browser is not an automated malicious bot. These files help preserve the stability of our platform.
8. User Consent Mechanism
When you enter GameSocial.sbs, our cookie banner displays information about cookie usage. Clicking "Accept All" records your active consent. Clicking "Decline" prevents the website from loading non-essential script elements, leaving only core functional parameters active.
9. Managing Settings in Google Chrome
If you use Google Chrome, you can manage cookies by navigating to Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Third-party cookies. There you can block all third-party cookies, allow them, or set exception rules for specific domains like GameSocial.sbs.
10. Managing Settings in Safari
When browsing on Apple devices with Safari, you can configure cookie permissions by opening Settings -> Safari -> Advanced -> Website Data. Safari blocks third-party trackers automatically, but you can block all cookies manually through this interface.
11. Managing Settings in Firefox and Edge
On Mozilla Firefox, open Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Enhanced Tracking Protection. On Microsoft Edge, go to Settings -> Cookies and site permissions. Both browsers allow you to search, delete, and block site-specific cookies as you choose.
12. Lifespan of Stored Cookies
The lifespan of our cookies varies: (a) session cookies expire automatically once you close your browser tab, while (b) functional consent preference cookies are stored in your browser for up to twelve (12) months, unless you clear them manually.
13. PIPEDA Compliance and Contact
This Cookie Policy aligns with Canadian privacy guidelines. If you have questions regarding our use of cookies, contact Game Social Inc., 150 King Street West, Toronto, ON M5H 1J9, Canada, or email us at support@gamesocial.sbs.
