1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, SDKs, and device identifiers. These tools help websites function and provide information about how the website is used.

2. Why We Use Cookies

Rankeno does not use cookies for affiliate tracking. We use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Strictly necessary purposes (keeping you signed in to Rankeno Play if you have an account, securing sign-in, and protecting the Site from automated abuse)
• Analytics (measuring Site traffic and how visitors interact with pages)

3. Cookies and Tools We Use

A. Strictly necessary cookies (set by Rankeno)

These cookies are required for the features you use and cannot be switched off in our systems. They contain random identifiers or signed values, never your password.

• __Host-rk_play — keeps you signed in to Rankeno Play (only set when you sign in; up to 30 days, removed when you sign out).
• __Host-rk_play_oauth and __Host-rk_play_pending — protect “Continue with Google” sign-in from forgery while it is in progress (10–15 minutes).
• rk_pb — shows the Site you are a real browser so pages load without an anti-bot check (up to 7 days).

Rankeno Play also stores a few game preferences (such as sound on/off) in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device.

B. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics may set first-party cookies or use identifiers to distinguish unique users and sessions and to measure engagement.

Common Google Analytics cookies for GA4 may include:

• _ga (used to distinguish users)
• _ga_<container-id> (used to persist session state)

B. Advertising cookies (Google AdSense and partners)

We may show advertising served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. These vendors may set third-party cookies (for example Google's IDE, DSID or NID cookies on the doubleclick.net and google.com domains) to measure ad delivery, limit how often you see an ad, and — where you have not opted out — personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites.

• Opt out of personalized ads: Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance).
• How Google uses data from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4. Consent (EEA/UK and other regions)

In some regions (such as the EEA/UK), analytics cookies may require your consent under applicable laws. Where required, we will request your consent before placing analytics cookies.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Browser controls: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies.
• Consent controls: If we provide a cookie banner/preferences tool, you can change your selections there.
• Google Analytics opt-out: Google offers tools (such as a browser add-on) that may allow you to opt out of Google Analytics tracking.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the effective date.
