Cookies Policy
Cookies Policy for BC Game
This Cookies Policy explains how BC Game uses cookies and similar browser technologies to support site functionality, remember preferences, analyse performance, and keep accounts secure. The goal is practical transparency - what these technologies do, why they matter, and how you can control them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser or on your device when you visit a website. They hold information such as session identifiers, preference flags, or non-identifying analytic data. Other browser storage technologies we may use include localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB.
Why cookies are used
Cookies and related storage make the site easier to use and help us keep services running smoothly. Typical uses include keeping you logged in, remembering language and display preferences, measuring site performance, detecting and preventing fraud, and tailoring content to device type.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
Essential cookies enable core functionality needed to operate the site. These include session identifiers, security tokens, and cookies that remember account and authentication state. Without these cookies key features - such as login persistence and secure sessions - will not work properly.
Session cookies
Session cookies exist only for the length of your browser session and are removed when you close the browser. They are commonly used for navigation, temporary preferences, and maintaining an active session while you use the site.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period so the site can remember choices or information between visits. The duration varies by cookie and purpose - from a single visit to several months - depending on the function they support.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies store non-essential preferences, such as language selection, game view settings, or interface choices. These cookies make your next visit more convenient by preserving your preferred options.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies collect aggregated data about how the site is used, such as pages visited, time spent, and error rates. The information is used to diagnose issues, measure feature performance, and prioritise improvements. Data is typically aggregated and does not identify individual users.
Preference and language settings
Cookies for preferences store language, regional display, and other interface settings so the site presents content in your chosen format on future visits.
Login and session continuity
Cookies and secure session tokens keep you logged in across pages and visits according to your session settings. If you opt to remain signed in, a persistent cookie may be used to restore your session without repeated logins.
Device recognition
Device-related cookies help the site detect whether you are on desktop, tablet, or mobile. That recognition improves layout, performance tuning, and helps deliver a consistent experience across devices.
Security-related cookies
Security cookies support fraud prevention, integrity checks, and protection against automated abuse. They can track session anomalies and contribute to secure authentication processes.
Marketing and communication preferences
When enabled, marketing cookies remember whether you have consented to marketing communications and help manage message frequency and channel preferences. These cookies can also prevent showing the same messages repeatedly.
Third-party integrations
Some cookies are set by third parties integrated into the site, such as analytics platforms, game providers, or customer support tools. These third parties operate under their own privacy terms and can set or access cookies when you interact with their services on the site.
Browser storage technologies explained
In addition to cookies, we may use:
localStorage - stores small amounts of data client-side for longer-term preferences;
sessionStorage - stores data for the current browser tab or session only;
IndexedDB - a larger, structured local database used only when needed for complex client-side features.
These technologies work alongside cookies to improve performance and preserve user settings. They are subject to the same browser controls as cookies.
Cookie consent and management
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner or settings panel explains cookie categories and lets you accept or adjust preferences. You can change your choices at any time via the cookie settings link in the site footer or your account privacy settings.
If you withdraw consent for optional cookie categories, those cookies will be disabled and no new cookies in those categories will be set. Essential cookies required for security and basic operation cannot be disabled via the banner without affecting core functionality.
Browser cookie controls - how to change settings
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Controls are usually found in the browser's privacy or settings menu. Blocking or clearing cookies will prevent some features from working as expected. For device-specific guidance, check your browser help pages.
Clearing or disabling cookies - impact on site functionality
Disabling or removing cookies can affect:
Ability to stay logged in or restore sessions;
Saved preferences, such as language and display settings;
Personalised content or remembered gameplay states;
Reliable detection of device and browser for performance tuning.
If you disable essential cookies, you may be logged out or lose access to certain features until cookies are re-enabled.
Technical diagnostics and performance optimisation
We use cookies and storage to collect non-identifying diagnostics - for example, page load times, error traces, and resource usage. This helps troubleshoot issues, speed up pages, and reduce interruptions during play. Diagnostic data is generally aggregated and retained only as long as needed to analyse and fix problems.
Aggregated analytics and user experience improvements
Aggregated analytics provide insights into popular games, feature use, and navigation flows. That anonymised information helps prioritise updates, streamline menus, and improve discovery of featured games. We avoid using cookies to create persistent, personal profiles unless you opt into relevant services.
Managing third-party cookies
Third-party services may place cookies when you interact with embedded features. To control these cookies, use the cookie settings panel or manage them directly via your browser. You can also consult third-party privacy notices for details on how they handle data and how to opt out.
Frequently asked points
Can I use the site without cookies?
You can browse parts of the site without optional cookies, but features like login persistence, saved preferences, and some interactive content may be limited or unavailable.
Are analytics data identifiable?
Analytics are collected in aggregate form and designed to avoid identifying individual users. Where more detailed data is needed for troubleshooting, we apply strict access controls and retain data only as necessary.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technologies or practices. When significant changes occur, we will provide clear notice through the site. For minor updates, the published policy date will be revised accordingly.
