What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help a site work, remember your choices, and understand how visitors interact with pages. Similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) are treated as cookies in this policy.
Cookie categories
- Necessary: age-verification status, load balancing, security, session continuity. These run every time and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics (optional): anonymous usage metrics to improve features and stability (for example, page views and error rates).
- Marketing (optional): campaign attribution and reach measurement, if enabled.
How we use cookies
We use necessary cookies to operate core features (age gate, cookie banner, basic navigation). With your permission, we set analytics and marketing cookies to understand usage patterns and measure our communications. We do not use cookies to run real-money gambling, and we do not sell personal data.

Control
Use the cookie banner to choose Yes / No / Partial. You can change your choice any time:
- Open the banner via the link in the footer on any page (Cookie Policy), or clear cookies in your browser.
- Blocking optional cookies will not affect necessary functions (age gate, basic navigation).
Browser controls
You can also manage cookies at the browser level (block, delete, or allow per-site). Check the help pages for your browser or device. Note that blocking all cookies may break site functionality.
Third-party cookies
Where we embed third-party tools (for example, analytics) those providers may set their own cookies. Their use is governed by their policies. We only load such tools if you opt in via the banner.
International transfers
Where analytics or CDNs route traffic outside Malaysia, data protections are applied by the respective providers under their transfer mechanisms. We select vendors that implement appropriate safeguards.
Retention
Retention depends on cookie type. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last for the period shown in the table above unless you delete them earlier.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. See our Privacy Policy for details and how to contact us.
