How Cookies Are Used on the 1win Platform
When a user visits the 1win website, small data files known as cookies are saved on their device. These files help the platform remember individual settings and monitor browsing activity across sessions.
Cookies serve several practical purposes on the platform:
- Tracking how users navigate and interact with different sections of the site;
- Monitoring website traffic to identify performance trends;
- Collecting anonymised data to improve overall site functionality;
- Storing user preferences such as language and display settings.
Cookies do not access internal device data, personal files, or sensitive information stored on a user’s device. Their function is strictly limited to improving the on-site experience and ensuring the website operates as intended. No privacy violation occurs through standard cookie technologies used on the platform.
Types of Cookies Used on the Website
The platform utilises three primary categories of cookies, each serving a distinct purpose.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary files that exist only for the duration of a visit. They are automatically deleted once the browser is closed and help maintain continuity during a single browsing session.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period after the session ends. They allow the platform to recognise returning users and retain previously saved preferences.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users interact with the website. This information is used to understand platform behaviour, identify areas for improvement, and refine the overall browsing experience.
All three cookie types serve the shared purpose of making the platform more convenient and personalising the experience to suit individual user needs. No cookie category is used to collect sensitive personal data or transmit information to unauthorised third parties.
Your Cookie Choices
Users have full control over cookie settings through their browser preferences. Most modern browsers provide options to manage, restrict, or remove cookies at any time.
The following actions can be taken directly through browser settings:
- Deleting all existing cookies stored by the browser;
- Blocking cookies from specific websites or all sites;
- Receiving notifications before a cookie is saved to the device;
- Allowing cookies only from trusted or visited websites;
- Restricting third-party cookies while permitting first-party ones;
- Managing Flash cookies stored by browser plugins.
It is important to note that completely blocking all cookies may limit access to certain features on the website. Functions such as auto-login, saved preferences, and language settings may not operate correctly if cookies are fully disabled.
Managing Flash Cookie Settings
Flash cookies, also referred to as Local Shared Objects, are managed separately from standard browser cookies. These files are controlled through the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager, which provides users with options to configure permissions, restrict storage capacity, and adjust security parameters for Flash-based content.
Users can access the Flash Player Settings Manager directly through their browser or via the Adobe website to review and modify how Flash cookies are stored on their device.
Blocking all cookies, including Flash cookies, may disrupt certain website functions. Features such as saved language preferences and auto-login services may not perform as expected when Flash cookies are restricted or deleted entirely. Users are advised to review individual cookie settings carefully before applying blanket restrictions.
