COOKIE POLICY
LAST REVISED: 30 APRIL 2021
This Cookies Policy describes how cookies and similar technologies are used on our websites and web properties (e.g., widgets and applications) that contain or link to this Cookies Policy (which are referred to in this policy collectively and individually as the "Site"). It is intended to operate with and be read together with the cookies banner and privacy preference center that link to it.
"We" (or "us" or "our") means BlackGeeza Entertainment, LLC or the relevant member of our group that operates the specific Site (as indicated on the Site or in our Privacy Policy).
We may change this Cookies Policy from time to time, so please check back periodically for updates. This Cookies Policy was last revised on the date specified at the top of the policy.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of information that the Site's server transfers to the browser's cookie file on your device so that the contents of that cookie can be retrieved and read.
Cookies do not usually record your name or specific contact details, but some cookies may assign an identifier to an individual. To the extent that cookies collect and process personal data, this is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
There are other technologies we use on the Site that work in a similar way to cookies by storing or accessing information on a user's device, such as:
HTML5 local storage – this is mainly used to store and retrieve data in HTML pages from the same domain.
Local Shared Objects – this is commonly called a "Flash cookie" and is a piece of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user's computer, typically to support website advertisements and videos.
Device fingerprinting – this is a way of identifying a unique device by combining certain attributes of the device without necessarily having to know the IP address or setting cookies.
Scripts – these are lists of commands executed by programs or scripting engines, which are used to generate Web pages and to automate computer processes.
Tracking pixels/web beacons – these are small pieces of code loaded when a user visits a website, which can be used to track site visits, user behavior, ad impressions, and other online activities.
Plugins – these are add-ons for a program that adds functionality to it – for example, a plugin is used to enable you to watch a video on the Site.

Cookies List
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the Site will then not work.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers. If you do not allow these cookies, some services may not function optimally.
Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to analyze site usage so we can measure and improve our site's performance. This may include cookies from third-party analytics services. These cookies collect aggregated data. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not receive data about your site visits and will not be able to make improvements based on this.
Sale of Personal Information
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, if you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. The use of cookies for certain purposes, such as targeted advertising, may be considered a "sale" under the Act. You may exercise your right to opt-out of the sale of personal information by using this toggle switch. If you opt-out, we will not deploy targeting cookies, and we may not be able to offer you personalized ads.
Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners. They may be used to build profiles of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. These cookies may share information with third parties. We also use social media plug-ins, social media tracking, and cross-device tracking. If you do not allow these cookies, you will not be able to use social functionality and will experience less targeted advertising.
