COOKIES POLICY

Last updated: 16 February 2026

PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

This Cookies Policy explains how DATAFORGE INNOVATIONS LTD, whose registered office is at 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London, England, W1W 5PF (“we”, “us”, or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on the website located at https://clickandplaygames.com (the “Website” or “Platform”). These technologies are used to support secure functionality, maintain essential operational features, measure Website performance, analyse engagement, and, where enabled, conduct lawful advertising measurement, conversion tracking and remarketing in accordance with applicable Australian law and applicable advertising platform requirements.

This Cookies Policy is intended to be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. To the extent that information collected through cookies and similar technologies constitutes “personal information” (as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)), it is handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”), our Privacy Policy, and the consent choices you make via our consent controls.

Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function correctly and to maintain security and integrity. These cookies cannot be disabled through our on-site controls. Other cookies are non-essential and are used for purposes such as analytics, measurement, optimisation, advertising measurement and remarketing. Non-essential cookies will only be activated where you have provided valid consent through an appropriate consent mechanism implemented on the Website (the “Consent Management Platform” or “CMP”), where such consent is required or appropriate having regard to applicable Australian law and industry expectations.

Where configured, the CMP may support industry-standard consent frameworks and signals (for example, IAB-aligned consent signals) and may enable or enforce consent states for measurement tools to support transparency and partner compliance requirements.

This Cookies Policy describes:
- the categories of cookies and similar technologies used on the Website;
- the purposes for which these technologies are deployed;
- the third parties that may set cookies and similar technologies through the Website; and
- the options available to you for managing or withdrawing consent to non-essential cookies.

By using the Website, you acknowledge that strictly necessary cookies will operate as required for the performance and security of the Platform. The use of any non-essential cookies will only occur where you have provided valid consent via the CMP, where enabled and applicable. You may withdraw or adjust your consent preferences at any time, subject to technical limitations and the operation of your browser.

1.  DEFINITION AND FUNCTION OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are small text files or alphanumeric identifiers stored on your device or browser when you access a website. Cookies and similar technologies enable functions such as maintaining session integrity, preserving user preferences, supporting security features, and facilitating analytics and measurement.

Cookies may be placed directly by the operator of the Website (“first-party cookies”) or by authorised external service providers (“third-party cookies”). First-party cookies are deployed by the Platform to support core Website functionality, security and stability. Third-party cookies may be set by approved partners for purposes including analytics, advertising measurement, conversion tracking, remarketing, fraud prevention, performance monitoring and consent management. Cookies may expire at the end of a browsing session or persist for longer periods depending on their configuration.

Cookies used on the Website may be classified as:
- Session cookies: used to store temporary data that expires automatically when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: remain stored on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
- First-party cookies: deployed directly by the Website.
- Third-party cookies: implemented by approved external partners.

Cookies and similar technologies are deployed for limited, specified purposes and are subject to the consent controls described in this Cookies Policy where non-essential technologies are used.

2.  PLATFORM APPLICATION OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies for limited and clearly defined purposes to support the secure, lawful and efficient operation of the Website.

2.1 Core operational and security purposes

Strictly necessary cookies are deployed automatically because they are required to:
- deliver core Website features and maintain session integrity;
- maintain Website security and system integrity;
- detect, prevent and mitigate unauthorised access, misuse, and malicious activity;
- support essential operational processes such as load balancing and error handling; and
- record and apply cookie and tracking preferences where consent tools are implemented.

2.2 Analytics, measurement, optimisation and diagnostics

Subject to your consent choices (where applicable and enabled), non-essential technologies may be used to:
- collect aggregated and/or pseudonymised analytics about Website usage and performance;
- evaluate user engagement and technical behaviour;
- troubleshoot issues and improve stability and responsiveness; and
- produce internal reporting to improve the Services.

2.3 Advertising measurement, conversion tracking and remarketing

Subject to your consent choices (where applicable and enabled), we may use certain cookies and similar technologies to:
- measure advertising performance and attribution;
- measure conversions and campaign effectiveness;
- support remarketing and personalised advertising, where enabled; and
- prevent invalid traffic and advertising fraud.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Platform is a free-to-play social casino entertainment service and does not offer real-money gambling, wagering or betting. Advertising technologies used on the Website are intended to support lawful marketing and measurement activities and compliance with applicable partner policies.

2.4 Consent capture, storage and enforcement

Where implemented, the CMP is used to:
- display a cookie notice and preference controls;
- capture, store and apply your consent choices;
- enforce consent states by enabling or disabling non-essential technologies; and
- record consent signals and preference states for compliance and operational purposes.

Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without consent as they are required for Website functionality and security. All non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising measurement technologies, will only be activated where you have provided valid consent through our CMP where enabled, or where otherwise permitted under applicable law.

3.  CATEGORIES OF COOKIES DEPLOYED ON THE PLATFORM

Cookies and similar technologies used on the Website are organised into categories to assist you in understanding their purposes and managing your choices.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used to ensure core Website functionality, system security, abuse prevention, session integrity and the enforcement of consent preferences. These cookies are required for the Website to operate and cannot be switched off in our systems.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced usability by remembering user preferences, interface settings and accessibility options, where applicable. Functional cookies are treated as non-essential unless they are strictly necessary for core functionality.

3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies collect aggregated information on usage patterns, device types and Platform responsiveness in order to assess performance and improve service quality. These cookies operate only with consent where enabled and applicable.

3.4 Marketing and Advertising Measurement Cookies

Marketing and advertising measurement cookies are used for consent-based advertising measurement, conversion attribution and, where enabled, remarketing and personalised advertising in accordance with your consent choices and applicable requirements.

3.5 Unclassified Cookies

Unclassified cookies are cookies undergoing review for appropriate categorisation. We do not intentionally activate unclassified cookies for non-essential purposes without appropriate classification and, where applicable, consent.

All third-party cookies deployed on the Platform are subject to reasonable due diligence and are intended to be used only for purposes consistent with this Cookies Policy and our Privacy Policy.

4.  IMPLEMENTATION OF NON-COOKIE TRACKING METHODS

In addition to cookies, the Website may deploy other technologies that perform similar or complementary functions. These may include web beacons, tracking pixels, tags, local storage and script-based tools that enable measurement, diagnostics, consent management and lawful advertising attribution where enabled.

Non-cookie technologies may be used for:
- Platform security and fraud mitigation;
- service optimisation and diagnostics;
- aggregated analytics and performance monitoring;
- advertising measurement, conversion tracking and remarketing (where enabled); and
- consent capture, storage and enforcement.

Where such technologies are non-essential, their operation is governed by our CMP (where implemented) and will activate only where you have provided valid consent, where enabled and applicable.

4.1 Common non-cookie technologies

The Website may use:
- Tracking pixels: to record page impressions, advertising views and interaction events for analytics and attribution.
- JavaScript tags: to measure interactions, manage consent signals and render dynamic content securely.
- Local storage objects: to retain user preferences, consent states and technical configuration data.
- Script-based libraries: to support diagnostics, performance monitoring and event tracking.

Where these technologies involve the collection of personal information, that information is handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the APPs and our Privacy Policy.

4.2 Examples of technologies and third-party providers

Depending on configuration from time to time, technologies that may be present on the Website include:
- Google Tag Manager: used to deploy and manage scripts.
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4): used to analyse Website usage and performance.
- Google Ads conversion tracking: used for conversion tracking and campaign measurement where enabled.
- Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET): used for conversion tracking and attribution where enabled.
- Microsoft Clarity: used for interface diagnostics and aggregated usage insights where enabled.
- Meta Pixel: used for conversion measurement and attribution where enabled.
- CAPTCHA or anti-abuse tools (for example, Google reCAPTCHA): used to prevent fraud, automated abuse and spam submissions where enabled.
- Consent management platform (for example, CookieYes, where implemented): used to capture, store and enforce user choices and consent preferences, including IAB-aligned consent signals where supported.

The above list is provided for transparency and may change depending on operational configuration. Not all tools will necessarily be active at all times. Where any tool is active, its operation is subject to the choices available through the CMP (where implemented) and/or your browser controls, as applicable.

5.  USER CONTROL OF COOKIE CONSENT PREFERENCES

You may manage how non-essential cookies and similar tracking technologies operate on your device.

5.1 Consent management platform controls

Where implemented, the CMP enables you to:
- accept or reject categories of non-essential cookies;
- review information about cookies and technologies, including provider, purpose and duration, where presented by the CMP;
- modify or withdraw your consent at any time, with effect as implemented by the CMP and relevant technologies; and
- store your preferences across future visits, unless you clear cookies or site data.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for security and core functionality.

The cookie preference controls are typically accessible via the initial cookie banner displayed on first visit and may also be accessible at any time through a persistent link on the Website (where implemented). If you disable certain categories of cookies, you may still browse the Website. However, certain analytics, diagnostics, optimisation, advertising measurement or remarketing functions may be reduced or unavailable.

Your selections are saved locally in your browser and will remain in force unless you delete cookies, clear site data, use a different device or browser, or the CMP is configured to refresh consent after a defined period.

5.2 Withdrawal of consent and deletion of non-essential cookies

Where you withdraw consent, the CMP is intended to prevent further activation of non-essential technologies going forward. Existing cookies may remain on your device until they expire or are deleted via browser controls. Where technically feasible and supported by the relevant technology, withdrawal of consent may also trigger deletion or deactivation of certain non-essential cookies.

5.3 Privacy rights

Where cookies or similar technologies involve the processing of personal information, your rights under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) remain unaffected. You may submit privacy requests using the contact details set out in Section 10 of this Cookies Policy and Section 12 of our Privacy Policy.

6.  BROWSER-LEVEL COOKIE AND SITE DATA MANAGEMENT

In addition to the controls available through our CMP (where implemented), you may manage cookies directly through your browser’s privacy and security settings. Most modern browsers provide tools that allow you to:
- view, block or delete cookies (individually or in bulk);
- disable third-party cookies independently of first-party cookies;
- apply cookie rules to specific websites;
- clear local storage, cached files and site-specific data; and
- set global or per-site preferences relating to tracking technologies.

Browser-specific cookie management paths include:

• Google Chrome
Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data

• Mozilla Firefox
Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

• Apple Safari
Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data

• Microsoft Edge
Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data

• Brave
Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data

• Opera
Settings > Advanced > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Cookies and site data

Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may impair core Website functionality, including security features, load balancing, error prevention and essential operational processes.

Further information on managing cookies is available from browser providers:

- Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences
- Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-and-website-data-sfri11471/mac
- Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/help/4468242
- Opera: https://www.opera.com/help

Industry opt-out mechanisms for interest-based advertising, where applicable, are also available through independent frameworks, including:
- Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada: http://youradchoices.ca/en/tools
- Digital Advertising Alliance (US): http://www.aboutads.info/choices/
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): https://www.youronlinechoices.com/

These tools are operated by third parties and function independently of the Website and any CMP controls.

7.  USE OF FLASH COOKIES AND LOCAL STORAGE OBJECTS

The Website does not rely on Adobe Flash technology and does not intentionally deploy Flash Cookies, also referred to as Local Shared Objects (“LSOs”). Flash technology has been formally deprecated and is no longer supported by major browsers, operating systems, or modern web standards. Accordingly, no core functionality, gameplay feature, or essential operation of the Platform requires Flash or Flash-based storage.

For completeness and transparency, users should be aware that Flash Cookies function differently from standard browser cookies. LSOs are stored separately from ordinary browser cookie data and cannot be controlled or removed through conventional browser cookie management settings. While the Platform does not utilise Flash technology as part of its normal operation, legacy or third-party embedded content encountered on the wider internet may historically have relied on such storage mechanisms.

In the unlikely event that any legacy Flash-based content is encountered, LSOs may theoretically be used to:
- retain user preferences applied within Flash components;
- preserve state information associated with interactive or multimedia modules;
- maintain consistent playback or configuration settings for embedded media environments; or
- support compatibility with outdated multimedia implementations.

Where present, such technologies would be incidental, optional, and strictly non-essential. They would not form part of the primary operation, accessibility, gameplay experience, or technical infrastructure of the Website.

Users may manage or delete any remaining LSOs through Adobe’s legacy Flash Player Settings Manager available at:
https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

Please note that disabling or removing residual Flash Cookies may affect the behaviour of outdated or legacy media features that rely on obsolete technologies. However, doing so will not affect access to, availability of, or functionality within the core services and simulated entertainment features provided by the Platform.

The Website instead relies on modern web technologies, including HTML5 local storage and comparable browser-based storage mechanisms, to support performance, accessibility, and user experience consistency across contemporary devices and browsers. These technologies may be used to retain user preferences, consent selections, gameplay configuration settings, session continuity information, accessibility options, or technical configuration data required for proper website operation.

Where HTML5 local storage or similar mechanisms are used for non-essential purposes, such storage will operate in accordance with applicable consent choices, user preference controls, and relevant privacy and cookie management settings where enabled and applicable. These modern storage methods are implemented solely to improve usability, maintain technical stability, and ensure compatibility with current browser environments, and do not alter the entertainment-only nature of the Platform.

8.  TARGETED ADVERTISING AND MARKETING TECHNOLOGIES

The Website may use third-party advertising and attribution technologies to measure campaign performance and, where enabled, to conduct remarketing and personalised advertising, subject to your consent choices and applicable requirements.

8.1 Non-personalised advertising by default

By default, advertising and measurement conducted on or in connection with the Website is intended to be non-personalised, meaning it does not use your browsing history, online behaviour or cross-site activity to build profiles or target you individually.

8.2 Personalised advertising and remarketing

Where personalised advertising or remarketing is enabled, it will operate only where you have provided explicit consent through the CMP and where permitted by applicable law and applicable partner requirements. If you refuse consent, marketing technologies may be disabled or operate in a non-personalised mode, depending on configuration.

8.3 Prohibited data use

We do not process or use sensitive information for advertising purposes, including for targeting or remarketing. We do not knowingly deploy personalised advertising to individuals who are under eighteen (18) years of age.

8.4 Common advertising and measurement partners

We may work with recognised advertising and analytics partners, which may include:
- Google Ads (including conversion tracking and consent controls, where implemented);
- Microsoft Advertising with Universal Event Tracking (UET);
- Meta Pixel for consent-based conversion measurement; and
- a CMP (for example, CookieYes, where implemented) for consent capture and enforcement.

We do not sell personal information and we do not rent or trade personal information to third parties.

9.  REVISIONS AND UPDATES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update or amend this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies and similar technologies, developments in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or adjustments to our operational or compliance requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this Policy indicates the date on which the most recent revisions were published.

Where a change materially affects the manner in which non-essential cookies operate or alters your choices and consent options, we may take reasonable steps to bring such changes to your attention. This may include updating the cookie banner or CMP interface.

You are encouraged to review this Cookies Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies and tracking technologies are used on the Website and the controls available to you.
