Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sharker Casino (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and related pages (including the page available at “/cookie-policy”). It also explains the choices you have, how to manage your preferences, and how cookies may impact your experience.

By using our site, you understand that cookies may be stored on your device, depending on your settings, your location, and the consent options available to you.

What Cookies Are (In Plain English)

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit. They help the site recognize your device, remember preferences (like language), keep you signed in (where applicable), and understand how people use the site.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies - deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies - stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
• First-party cookies - set by our website.
• Third-party cookies - set by service providers we use (like analytics or advertising partners).

Why We Use Cookies (And Why You Might Actually Want Them)

We use cookies to make the Sharker Casino experience smoother, safer, and more useful. Depending on the cookie type, cookies may help us:

• Keep the site working properly and securely.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and suspicious activity.
• Remember your settings and preferences.
• Measure site performance and fix issues faster.
• Understand what content players find helpful, so we can improve navigation, pages, and features.
• Deliver relevant messaging and measure marketing performance, where allowed by law and your choices.

The Different Types of Cookies We May Use

We may use the following categories of cookies. Not every cookie is used on every visit, and some only apply if you opt in.

Essential Cookies (The “Site Has to Work” Ones)

Essential cookies are required for core functionality and security. Without them, the site may not load correctly, features may break, or important protections may not work.

These cookies may support actions such as:

• Load balancing and basic site performance.
• Security protections and fraud prevention.
• Remembering privacy choices (so we don’t ask you repeatedly, where applicable).

Because they are necessary to provide the website, essential cookies are typically not optional.

Functional Cookies (More Comfort, Less Repeating Yourself)

Functional cookies help the site remember choices you make, so your experience feels consistent from visit to visit. For example, they may remember:

• Language, region, or display preferences.
• Basic customization settings.

If you disable these cookies, some personalized features may not work as expected, and you may need to reset preferences more often.

Performance and Analytics Cookies (How We Learn What Players Like)

Performance cookies, including analytics cookies, help us understand how visitors interact with the site. They show us things like:

• Which pages are visited most often.
• How players move through the site.
• Whether pages load quickly, or if errors occur.

We use this information to improve site speed, content quality, and overall usability. These cookies don’t exist to identify you by name, but they may collect device and browser information, and they may use identifiers to distinguish unique visitors.

Marketing Cookies (Only When Allowed, and Only If You Say Yes)

Marketing cookies can help show you more relevant ads or measure the success of campaigns. They may be set by us or by third parties, and they can track activity across websites or apps over time.

If you choose not to allow marketing cookies, you can still use the site, but ads you see may be less relevant, and some promotional measurement may be limited.

Third-Party Cookies and Services We May Use

Some cookies may be placed by third-party providers that help us operate, analyze, secure, or promote our services. These providers may change over time, but typically include categories such as:

• Analytics providers (to understand traffic and improve pages).
• Security and anti-fraud services (to protect the platform and users).
• Payment, login, or embedded content tools (where applicable).
• Advertising or attribution partners (to measure marketing, if enabled).

Third parties may process information under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies directly if you want deeper detail on how they use cookies and identifiers.

How Consent Works (Your Choices Matter)

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies). Your options may include accepting all cookies, rejecting non-essential cookies, or selecting specific categories.

You can also change your decision later by adjusting your browser settings (and, where available, your on-site cookie settings). Keep in mind that clearing cookies can remove your saved preferences, which may cause the consent prompt to appear again.

How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

• View what cookies are stored.
• Delete all cookies, or cookies from specific sites.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block all cookies (not recommended for the best experience).
• Set rules to clear cookies when you close the browser.

Here are the typical paths (names vary by browser and version):

• Google Chrome - Settings - Privacy and security - Cookies and other site data
• Safari - Settings - Privacy - Manage Website Data
• Mozilla Firefox - Settings - Privacy and Security - Cookies and Site Data
• Microsoft Edge - Settings - Cookies and site permissions - Manage and delete cookies and site data

If you use multiple devices (phone, tablet, laptop), you’ll need to update settings on each one.

What Happens If You Block Cookies

If you block or delete cookies, parts of the website may not function as intended. For example:

• Some pages may load slower or display incorrectly.
• Preferences might not save, so the site could feel less personalized.
• Security features and fraud prevention tools may be less effective.
• You may see repeated prompts (like cookie banners) because your prior choice was erased.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites must respond, our site may not respond to all “Do Not Track” signals in the same way. We still provide cookie controls through consent tools (where available) and browser settings.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate the site. When we update it, we will revise the content on this page, and the changes will apply from the time the updated version is posted.

If the changes are significant, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
