What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. These files contain information that helps websites remember your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior. When you return to Shikaka, your browser sends this stored information back to our servers, allowing us to provide you with a personalized gaming experience.
Cookies cannot access other files on your device or install software. They contain only the information that you provide to a website or that the website places there during your visit. Most cookies are completely harmless and serve essential functions that make websites work properly.
How We Use Cookies
Shikaka uses cookies to operate our online casino platform effectively and provide you with the best possible gaming experience. We use cookies to maintain your login session, remember your game preferences, process transactions securely, and ensure our website functions correctly across different devices and browsers.
Our cookies also help us understand how players interact with our games and services, which areas of our site are most popular, and how we can improve our offerings. This information allows us to optimize our platform performance and develop new features that our players want.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for Shikaka to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Essential cookies include those that authenticate your identity, maintain your gaming session, remember items in your shopping cart, and ensure secure transactions. They also help us comply with regulatory requirements and maintain the integrity of our gaming platform. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for basic site operation.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and measure how players navigate through our casino games and services.
We use this data to improve our website structure, identify popular games, and optimize page loading times. Analytics cookies also help us identify technical issues and understand which marketing campaigns are most effective. All information collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on the Shikaka platform. These cookies remember your preferences, such as language settings, currency choices, game favorites, and display options. They help provide personalized content and remember your choices so you do not have to re-enter information repeatedly.
Functional cookies also power features like live chat support, game recommendations based on your playing history, and customized promotional offers. While not strictly essential, these cookies significantly improve your user experience by making the site more convenient and tailored to your preferences.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements. These cookies are used to deliver targeted promotions, measure advertising campaign effectiveness, and limit the number of times you see the same advertisement.
Shikaka works with advertising partners who may place cookies on your device to show you relevant casino promotions on other websites you visit. These cookies help us provide you with offers that match your gaming interests while ensuring our marketing efforts reach the right audience efficiently.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are placed by external services that appear on Shikaka pages. These may include payment processors, game providers, analytics services, and advertising networks. Each third party has its own privacy policy governing how they use cookie information.
Common third-party cookies on our site include those from payment gateways that process deposits and withdrawals, game developers who provide our casino games, and social media platforms that enable sharing features. We carefully select our third-party partners and require them to maintain appropriate data protection standards.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session or up to 30 days. Analytics and functional cookies may persist for up to two years to provide consistent service and accurate long-term data. Marketing cookies generally last between 30 days and one year, depending on the specific advertising campaign requirements.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites. However, disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of the Shikaka platform.
To manage cookies, access your browser settings and look for privacy or security options. You can typically choose to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or set up custom rules for specific websites. Remember that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and playing games on our platform.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals. Shikaka does not alter its data collection practices when it receives Do Not Track signals from browsers.
If you prefer not to be tracked, we recommend using your browser's cookie management tools to block tracking cookies specifically, rather than relying solely on Do Not Track signals.

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through our website or by email if you have an account with us.
We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how Shikaka uses cookies and similar technologies. The date of the most recent update will always be displayed at the top of this policy.
