This Cookie Policy explains how COMPAR OF LIFE ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website comparoflife.com. Our Platform complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR requirements. We believe in providing complete transparency about what data we store and how we optimize your experience on our Brutalist-Luxury social casino site.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you load a webpage. They allow the website to recognize your browser, save your preferences, and track traffic statistics. Cookies can be:

Session Cookies: Temporarily stored on your device and automatically deleted when you close your web browser.
Persistent Cookies: Stored on your device for a pre-determined duration (e.g. 30 days or a year) to remember your preferences (like cookie consent status) when you return to the site.

We also use "Local Storage" tokens which function similarly to cookies but can store larger data sets directly inside your browser cache.

2. HOW WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies and local storage tokens to achieve the following:

To check and store your age verification status, ensuring minors under 18 cannot access our slots.
To remember your cookie consent preferences (whether you accepted or declined optional tracking).
To load layout components and responsive parameters smoothly on your device.
To record game session high scores and virtual credit balances locally in your browser cache.
To monitor anonymous platform metrics, such as unique visits, bounce rates, and traffic sources, to optimize system performance.
