1. What are Cookies & Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small alphanumeric data packets downloaded onto your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit an online portal. Similar technologies include web beacons, software development kits (SDKs), pixel tags, and HTML5 browser local storage. At ClubGG, these tools enable our servers to remember your device, keep you signed in, preserve sound and table felt themes, and combat unauthorized credential abuse.
2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for session authentication, 256-bit TLS security verification, and load balancing across our gaming cluster. Without these cookies, services like the Member Portal and secure login cannot operate.
- Performance & Telemetry Cookies: Aggregate data on page load latencies, WebSocket network disconnections, and error telemetry. These metrics allow our infrastructure engineers to optimize real-time poker table response times.
- Functional Preference Cookies: Preserve your preferred poker table layout, 4-color deck toggle, sound volume preferences, and language selection across gaming sessions.
- Sweepstakes Verification Cookies: Assist in confirming that you are connecting from an eligible jurisdiction where ClubGG sweepstakes satellite events are legally compliant.
