Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a personalized user experience, remember preferences across sessions, enable authentication flows, and collect anonymous analytics about how users interact with a service. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties such as analytics providers, game providers or advertising networks ("third-party cookies").

At PK2026 Game we also use similar technologies including HTML5 localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB for offline APK functionality, pixel tags embedded in email communications, and the Android Install Referrer API for mobile attribution. These technologies are covered by this Cookie Policy unless otherwise stated.

2. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the basic operation of pk2026 bet and cannot be disabled in our consent management system. They are set in response to actions you take such as logging in, completing forms or setting security preferences. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but doing so will cause core site functionality including authentication, deposits and game sessions to fail.

• Game session authentication and wallet balance synchronization.

• RNG seed negotiation and outcome verification.

8. localStorage, Web Storage and Client-Side Persistence

In addition to HTTP cookies, PK2026 Game uses browser Web Storage APIs including localStorage and sessionStorage for performance optimization and offline APK features. These storage mechanisms persist data directly within your browser or WebView and are not automatically sent to our servers with every HTTP request.

• localStorage: Stores UI theme, language preference, last-viewed games, promotional banner dismissal state, draft KYC form inputs and cached game asset manifests. Maximum storage: 5 MB. Persists across browser restarts until manually cleared.
• sessionStorage: Stores temporary per-tab data including in-game spin results cache, form validation state and navigation history. Automatically cleared when you close the browser tab.
• IndexedDB (APK only): Used by the PK2026 Game Android application for offline game asset caching, PWA functionality and install-time performance. Data size up to 50 MB, cleared only on app uninstall.

9. Android APK Install Referrer Cookie

When users download and install the PK2026 Game Android APK, we utilize Google Play Install Referrer API and our own install referrer cookie mechanism to attribute the installation to the correct marketing source, referral code or Grand Partner affiliate link. This attribution is required to correctly award referral bonuses and track marketing ROI.

The install referrer cookie captures: referring URL, UTM parameters, Grand Partner referral ID, click timestamp, device model, Android OS version and APK version (currently v4.6.1, 18.5MB). Data is retained for 90 days after install for attribution reconciliation, then aggregated and anonymized for reporting. You may opt out of install referrer tracking by disabling the advertising ID in your Android device settings before installation.

Your consent choice is recorded in the pk_consent localStorage key and a server-side consent log. The banner will resurface after 12 months or whenever we add new cookie categories requiring additional consent. Consent is scoped per domain, per device and per browser profile.
