Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Cosmo Fame Limited ("we", "us", or "our"), operator of TheGamingOfWorld (gamingofworld.com), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our global fantasy football platform. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remaining on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).

2. How We Use Cookies

TheGamingOfWorld uses cookies for several purposes: to ensure the website functions correctly, to remember your preferences and login session, to store your cookie consent choice, to analyse how visitors use our platform, and to improve our services. Without certain cookies, some features of the platform may not work as intended.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of TheGamingOfWorld. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure login, session management, and cookie consent storage. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as the website would not function properly without them. The cookie consent preference itself is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key "cookie_consent".

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, favourite club, display settings, and league filter preferences. These cookies enhance your experience but are not strictly necessary for basic platform operation. If you disable functional cookies, some personalised features may not be available.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with TheGamingOfWorld. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information about page views, navigation paths, time spent on pages, and error occurrences. This data helps us improve platform performance, identify popular features, and fix usability issues. Analytics cookies require your consent before being placed on your device.

3.4 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. These cookies track your browsing activity across sessions to build a profile of your interests. We only use marketing cookies with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or by clearing stored preferences.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that we use to enhance functionality. These may include analytics providers, payment processors, and embedded content services. Third-party cookies are subject to the respective privacy policies of those providers. We recommend reviewing their policies for detailed information about their cookie practices.

5. Cookie Duration

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for varying periods: cookie consent preferences are stored indefinitely until cleared; functional preference cookies typically last 12 months; analytics cookies generally expire after 24 months; and marketing cookies may last up to 12 months depending on the provider.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit TheGamingOfWorld, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen asking for your consent. You can click "Accept" to consent to all cookies or "Dismiss" to dismiss the banner. Your choice is saved in localStorage and the banner will not appear again unless you clear your browser data.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications when cookies are being set. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of our platform, including account login and squad management.

7. Browser-Specific Instructions

To manage cookies in popular browsers: Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies; Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data; Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data; Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions. Refer to your browser's help documentation for the most current instructions.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites you visit that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. TheGamingOfWorld does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can manage tracking through our cookie consent banner and browser settings.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our cookie practices. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we use cookies.
