What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable a website to remember your actions and preferences, such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences, over a period of time. This means you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also be used to track how you use the site, allowing for a more personalised browsing experience.
At AstraLuck, we use cookies to enhance your gaming experience, ensure the security of your account, and understand how our services are being used. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
How We Use Cookies
AstraLuck uses cookies for several purposes. Primarily, they are essential for the operation of our website and services. For instance, cookies allow you to log in securely, place bets, and manage your account. Without these cookies, certain functionalities of the AstraLuck platform would not be available. We also use cookies to gather analytical data, which helps us understand how players interact with our site. This information is crucial for identifying areas for improvement, optimising our website's performance, and ensuring that our content is relevant and engaging. Furthermore, cookies help us to remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or game settings, making your return visits more convenient. Finally, some cookies are used for marketing purposes, enabling us to deliver more relevant advertisements to you both on and off our platform.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies, also known as strictly necessary cookies, are fundamental to the operation of the AstraLuck website. These cookies are crucial for enabling you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, making deposits, and initiating withdrawals. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like secure login sessions or transactional processes, cannot be provided. They do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes or remember where you have been on the internet. Essential cookies are typically session-based, meaning they expire once you close your browser, but some persistent essential cookies may be used to remember your login status for a short period to improve user convenience.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works. At AstraLuck, we use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify popular games or sections, and understand user navigation patterns. This data helps us to continuously optimise our platform, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all our players. By understanding how our services are used, we can make informed decisions about future developments and improvements.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. AstraLuck uses functional cookies to remember your preferences, such as your chosen language, currency, or game settings, saving you time and effort on subsequent visits.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. AstraLuck may use these cookies to tailor promotional offers and advertisements to your interests, both on our platform and on third-party websites. This helps us ensure that you receive information about games and promotions that are most likely to appeal to you, enhancing your overall experience with AstraLuck.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, AstraLuck may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the service, deliver advertisements on and through the service, and so on. Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one the user is visiting. For example, if you visit a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. These cookies are typically used for cross-site tracking, retargeting, and serving advertisements. While we carefully select our third-party partners, we do not have direct control over their cookie practices. However, we ensure that all our partners adhere to strict data protection standards and comply with relevant privacy regulations. You can manage third-party cookies through your browser settings, as detailed in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section of this policy.
How Long Cookies Last
The duration for which a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and typically expire when you close your browser. They are primarily used to link your actions during a single browsing session. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device for a set period specified within the cookie itself, or until you delete them. These cookies are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits to a website. For example, if you choose to "remember me" on a login page, a persistent cookie will be used. At AstraLuck, we use both session and persistent cookies. The exact duration of persistent cookies varies depending on their purpose, ranging from a few hours to several months or even years. We regularly review our cookie usage to ensure that cookies are not retained longer than necessary for their intended purpose.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the AstraLuck website. You can typically find these settings in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser. For more detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers, you can visit the browser's respective website. Please be aware that disabling essential cookies may impact the functionality and security of your account, potentially preventing you from accessing certain features or services on AstraLuck. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. Doing so may require you to re-enter your login details or preferences on subsequent visits.
Here are some common ways to manage cookies:
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it or not. You can also set your browser to refuse all cookies or to delete cookies after you close your browser.
- Opt-Out Tools: For some third-party advertising cookies, you can use industry-specific opt-out tools. For example, the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) offer tools to opt out of targeted advertising from participating companies.
- Mobile Device Settings: For mobile devices, you may have settings that allow you to control advertising identifiers or reset them.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers may transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites with which the browser communicates. There is no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to these signals. As such, AstraLuck does not currently respond to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT technology and the implementation of a universal standard. In the meantime, you can manage your cookie preferences directly through your browser settings and other available tools as outlined in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section.

AstraLuck reserves the right to update or modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Cookie Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. Your continued use of the AstraLuck platform after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We will indicate at the top of the policy when it was last updated.
