Goa Games - Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device, computer, tablet, or mobile phone, when you visit a website or use an online platform. They allow the platform to recognise your device on return visits, maintain your session, and remember preferences you have set. Cookies do not execute programmes or carry viruses; they store only a limited amount of data linked to your interaction with the site. Session cookies expire automatically when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically 30 to 365 days, until deleted manually or by expiry.

Cookies may be set directly by Goa Games (first-party cookies) or by external services we integrate with (third-party cookies), such as payment processors like PhonePe, Google Pay, or BHIM UPI, and analytics providers. In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies including web beacons, pixel tags, and browser local storage. References to "cookies" throughout this policy cover these technologies unless stated otherwise. As a real-money gaming platform serving users across India at goagamesapp.in.net, certain cookies are also required to meet responsible-gaming and regulatory obligations.

How we use cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to operate the Goa Games platform. They support user authentication, secure login sessions, CSRF protection, and account integrity checks. Without them, core services, such as signing in, depositing funds via PhonePe or GPay, or reviewing your transaction history, cannot function reliably. These cookies cannot be disabled because the platform depends on them to run securely.

Functional and preference cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make to personalise your experience. They may store your preferred language (English or regional Indian languages), your last-used deposit method, display settings, or game configuration so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit. Disabling these cookies may reduce convenience but will not prevent basic account access.

Analytics and performance cookies

We use analytics cookies to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate the platform, which game categories are visited most, where errors occur, and how fast pages load across different network conditions common in India, including 4G and broadband. This data helps our team improve stability and usability. It does not identify you personally.

Compliance and responsible gaming cookies

To honour applicable Indian gaming guidelines and our responsible-gaming commitments, we use cookies to record session duration and login frequency. These cookies help enforce self-exclusion settings, deposit limits, and cool-off periods that you activate from within your account dashboard.
