What Are Cookies
The Dog House Megaways uses cookies, like many online services. Cookies are small text files downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. The type of cookie used depends on its purpose, as explained in the sections below.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.

Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, The Dog House Megaways also makes use of various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the service, deliver advertisements on and through the service, and so on. These cookies are set by a domain other than our website. For example, we might use Google Analytics to help us understand how our site is used, or social media plugins that allow you to share content. These third parties have their own cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
We carefully select our third-party partners so they adhere to high standards of data protection and privacy. While we cannot directly control the cookies set by these third parties, we work only with reputable providers. Your consent for these cookies is managed through our cookie consent tool.
How Long Cookies Last
The duration a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a "session" or "persistent" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and are erased from your device when you close your web browser. They are typically used for essential functions, such as maintaining your login session while you are actively browsing The Dog House Megaways.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, which can range from a few minutes to several years, or until you manually delete them. These cookies are used to remember your preferences, track your activity over time, or provide personalised content. For example, a persistent cookie might remember your language choice for your next visit to The Dog House Megaways. The exact expiry date for each persistent cookie can usually be found in your browser settings.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the power to manage and control cookies. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalised to you. It may also stop you from saving customised settings like your login information.
You can manage cookies through:
- Browser Settings: You can usually find cookie settings in your browser's "Options" or "Preferences" menu. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set.
- Cookie Consent Tool: When you first visit The Dog House Megaways, you will see a cookie banner providing options to accept or reject different categories of cookies. You can revisit your preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" link, usually located in the footer of our website.
- Opt-Out Tools: For specific third-party advertising cookies, you can often opt out directly through industry-specific opt-out pages, such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page.
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies, especially essential ones, may impact the functionality and accessibility of The Dog House Megaways website.
Do Not Track
Some internet browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. This allows you to signal to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, The Dog House Megaways does not currently respond to DNT signals. We continue to monitor developments in this area and may implement a standard once one is established and widely adopted.
In the meantime, you can manage your privacy preferences and cookie settings directly through your browser and our cookie consent tool, as described in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section of this policy.
