CandyLand Casino places small data files — commonly known as cookies — on your device when you visit our platform. These files help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and collect anonymised usage data so we can improve what we offer.
Below you will find a breakdown of every cookie category active on our domain, what each one does, and the steps you can take to limit or block them entirely.
General
A cookie is a small text file that a web server sends to your browser. Your browser then stores it locally and returns the data to the server on subsequent visits. Cookies do not contain executable code. They cannot install software, access other files, or transmit viruses. Their sole purpose is to carry short pieces of information between your device and our servers.
Some cookies expire the moment you close the browser — these are session cookies. Others persist on your device for a set period, ranging from a few hours to several months. CandyLand Casino uses both kinds, and the sections below explain exactly which ones apply and why.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies serve several practical roles on our platform. They keep you logged in during a session, store language and display preferences, and help our servers distribute traffic evenly. Without them, every page load would treat you as a brand-new visitor — forcing you to re-enter credentials and settings each time.
We also rely on cookies for analytics. Aggregated, anonymised data on page views, navigation paths, and session duration tells us which areas of the site work well and which need attention. No personally identifiable information is sold or shared with advertisers through this process.
Types of Cookies
Cookies fall into two broad categories based on origin. First-party cookies are set directly by CandyLand Casino and can only be read by our domain. Third-party cookies originate from external services integrated into the site — analytics platforms, live chat providers, and similar tools. Both types may be either session-based or persistent.
From a functional standpoint, the cookies on this site break down further into four groups: backend application cookies, frontend application cookies, live chat cookies, and third-party tracking or analytics cookies. Each group is described in its own section below.
Cookies Groups
The table below summarises the four main cookie groups, listed by function rather than by individual file name. Exact cookie names, retention periods, and purposes vary as we update software or integrate new services — but the categories remain stable. If a new category is ever introduced, this policy will be updated before those cookies become active on your device.
Backend Application Cookies
Backend cookies handle server-side operations that you rarely see but always depend on. Session identifiers, for instance, link your browser to the correct account data. Load-balancing cookies route your requests to the same server cluster throughout a visit, preventing data conflicts. These are strictly necessary. Block them and the site cannot authenticate your login or maintain a stable connection.
Retention for most backend cookies is limited to the active session. A small number persist for up to 24 hours to support features like automatic re-login when you return within the same day. None of these cookies store payment details, passwords in plain text, or any data that could identify you outside our platform.
Frontend Application Cookies
Frontend cookies govern the visible, interactive layer of CandyLand Casino. They remember your chosen language, preferred lobby layout, and whether you have dismissed a particular notification banner. Remove them and the interface resets to default values on every visit — minor but noticeable.
A subset of frontend cookies tracks temporary UI states: open menus, scroll position in game lists, active filters. These expire when the session ends. Persistent frontend cookies — such as the one storing your language choice — may last up to 12 months before the browser automatically deletes them.
Live Chat Cookies
Our live chat widget is provided by an external service. When you open the chat window, the provider sets its own cookies to maintain the conversation thread, store your display name for the duration of the chat, and track whether the session is still active. If you close the browser mid-conversation, these cookies allow the system to restore the chat history when you return — provided the cookie has not expired.
Live chat cookies are classified as third-party because they originate from the provider's domain, not ours. Their retention period typically ranges from the length of the session up to 30 days for conversation-history cookies. Blocking them will not prevent you from using the rest of the site, but the chat feature may not function correctly.
Third-Party Cookies
CandyLand Casino integrates analytics and performance-monitoring tools from external providers. Google Analytics, for example, places cookies that record anonymised visitor behaviour — pages visited, time on site, referral source. This data is aggregated; individual users are not singled out or profiled for advertising purposes on our end.
Other third-party cookies may originate from embedded content or fraud-prevention systems. Fraud-detection cookies help verify that login attempts and transactions are legitimate. They compare device fingerprints and behavioural patterns against known risk indicators. These cookies are essential to maintaining a secure environment, and their retention periods are set by the respective providers — generally between 30 days and six months.
How to Control Cookies
Every modern browser gives you the ability to view, manage, and delete cookies. In Chrome, open Settings, navigate to Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data. Firefox uses a similar path under Preferences and Privacy. Safari users will find cookie controls under Settings, then Privacy. Mobile browsers offer equivalent options in their respective settings menus.
You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies on a schedule. Bear in mind that blocking all cookies will impair core functionality — you will not be able to log in or retain preferences. A more balanced approach is to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones. If you have questions about a specific cookie or need assistance adjusting your settings, contact our support team through the live chat or the contact form available on the site.
