This Cookie Policy explains how Chancemania ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit chancemania.net (the "Site"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

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 more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser until they expire or are deleted. Session cookies are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
2. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including:
- Web beacons: Small graphic files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to detect when a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Pixels: Code snippets that track user behaviour and conversions on our Site.
- Local storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that allow data to persist on your device beyond a single session.
- Scripts: Pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with the Site.
For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

6. Your Choices and Controls
6.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of the Site. Some features may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.
6.2 Opt-Out Tools
For analytics and advertising cookies placed by third parties, you may be able to opt out directly through those third parties' platforms or through industry opt-out tools. We are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of these tools.
6.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, the Site does not currently alter its behaviour in response to a DNT signal.

Some cookies may collect or be associated with personal data, such as an IP address or browsing behaviour that can be linked to an individual. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes the legal basis for processing, your rights, and how to exercise them.
You can contact us regarding privacy matters at help@chancemania.net.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
