  • Session Tokens: Used to maintain active sessions and ensure continuity.

Device Recognition

We use cookies (and other technologies) to identify your device, providing us with information about its characteristics, including browser type, screen resolution, operating system, and more. This allows for targeted content delivery and optimized platform performance.

Security-Related Cookies

Some security-related cookies are used by our website or third-party services to secure transactions, protect against malicious activity, and improve overall browsing safety.

Browser Storage Technologies

Browsers have internal storage technologies that complement cookies in managing user data and site information. These include Local Shared Objects (LSOs), IndexedDB, WebStorage, etc., which we might use depending on the features enabled for your experience.

Third-Party Integrations

Some third-party services like Google Analytics or social media sharing tools may set their own cookies to provide you with additional functionalities. However, these are controlled by the respective providers and not by us. Check those parties' policies for more details about how they use cookies.

You can control your preferences regarding marketing communications directly through our platform's settings or using third-party consent managers. You may opt-in to receive specific types of emails, newsletters, etc., if you prefer to stay updated on promotions and other relevant news.

Impact on Site Functionality When Cookies Are Disabled

This might limit the functionalities that rely heavily on persistent cookies for personalized experiences or optimized performance. We recommend setting up preferences within your browser to allow some types of cookies while blocking others based on your needs and the website's policies.

Aggregated Analytics Information

While analytics tools like Google Analytics gather detailed data, they do it anonymously (with unique identifiers removed) to provide aggregated insights without individual user tracking.

  • Aggregation: Ensures that specific user activity is not identifiable in the dataset.
  • Pseudonymization: Techniques applied on raw data before aggregation ensure anonymous usage statistics are provided.

Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimization

We continuously monitor our website's technical performance using a combination of essential cookies for session persistence, analytics tools like Google Analytics to gather detailed insights without user tracking. This helps optimize platform speed, stability, and overall usability.

By understanding how users interact with our site across various devices, we can adjust parameters that improve the loading time, responsiveness, or any other aspect affecting your experience on Lotterywest platforms.
