Cookies keep your Wikichance session running the way you expect. This page explains what we store on your device, why, and for how long.
Wikichance is operated by Windward Circle B.V. under licence OGL/2024/1135/0484 from the Curaçao Gaming Authority. We set cookies as the operator of this site, and we take the choices you make about them seriously. Want the fuller picture on how we handle personal information? Our Privacy Policy covers the rest.
A cookie is a small text file. Your browser saves it when you visit a page, and sends it back the next time you return.
Some cookies last only until you close the tab. Others sit quietly for months so we remember your currency as CAD, keep you logged in, or measure which games load slowly. We also use closely related tools — local storage, pixels and tags — and we treat all of them under this policy.
When you first arrive, our banner asks what you'll allow. Strictly necessary cookies run automatically because the site would break without them. Everything else waits for your yes.
Changed your mind? You can reopen the preferences panel at any time and toggle a category off. Withdrawing consent stops future use of those cookies, though anything already collected keeps its original basis. Need a hand doing it? Reach our team through the contact page — we answer 24/7.
Below is a breakdown of what we set and why. Durations are typical values; a browser or software update may refresh them.
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Sign-in sessions, security and fraud checks, routing deposits of C$20 or more, keeping your bet slip intact. These cannot be switched off. | Session to 12 months |
| Functional | Remembering your language, display settings and recently played titles so you don't reset them each visit. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Counting visits and spotting errors or slow pages, in aggregate, to improve performance. | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Measuring campaigns and tailoring offers across sites. Set only with your consent. | Up to 13 months |
Your browser gives you the final say. Every major one lets you view stored cookies, block new ones, or clear them on exit.
Look under Settings, then Privacy or Security, in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may log you out or stop deposits from completing, so weigh that before you clear everything. Playing on a shared device? Clearing cookies when you finish is a sensible habit, and it pairs well with the tools on our responsible gambling page.
Cookies help us honour limits and self-exclusion settings, but they are only part of the picture. If gambling stops feeling fun, support is close by.
