Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on this website (the “Site”), including when you browse pages, create an account, or use Site features. It also explains how you can manage your cookie choices.

Cookies help the Site run smoothly, stay secure, load faster, and remember useful preferences. Some cookies are placed by us, and some are placed by trusted third-party providers we use for security, analytics, and marketing.

Cookies, Explained in Plain English

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the Site to recognize your browser, keep sessions working correctly, and understand how the Site is used.

We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, SDKs, local storage, and device identifiers. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies.”

How Cookies Power a Better, Safer Experience

Cookies are used for several key purposes:

• Functionality - keeping you signed in, remembering settings, and enabling core features.
• Security - detecting suspicious activity, preventing fraud, and protecting accounts.
• Performance - improving page speed, balancing traffic, and reducing errors.
• Analytics - understanding which pages are used most, what content is helpful, and where users run into issues.
• Marketing - showing relevant promotions and measuring the effectiveness of ads (where permitted by law and your choices).

The Main Types of Cookies We Use

Different cookies do different jobs. Some are always necessary, while others depend on your preferences and local legal requirements.

Essential Cookies - The Ones the Site Can’t Run Without

Essential cookies are required for core Site operations. They help with actions like loading pages correctly, maintaining secure sessions, preventing unauthorized access, and enabling basic account tools. If you block these cookies, the Site may not function properly.

Functional Cookies - Built for Convenience

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as language preferences, region, and other settings that personalize your experience. Disabling these can mean you’ll need to reselect preferences more often, and some features may feel less tailored.

Performance and Analytics Cookies - Built to Improve

These cookies help us understand how the Site performs and how visitors interact with it - for example, which pages are visited, how long pages take to load, and whether users encounter errors.

We use this data to improve navigation, fix issues faster, and make the Site more reliable. Analytics data is typically aggregated and used to spot patterns rather than to directly identify you.

Marketing Cookies - Promotions That Match Your Interests (When Allowed)

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure campaign performance. They can be set by us or by advertising partners.

If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant and less useful.

Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our behalf, such as:

• Analytics and performance measurement tools
• Security and fraud-prevention services
• Customer support tools (for example, chat functionality)
• Advertising and attribution partners (where enabled)

These third parties may collect information about your browser or device and your use of the Site over time. Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies, not ours.

Consent - How We Handle Your Choices

Where required by applicable law, we request your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as certain analytics or marketing cookies). You can change your preferences at any time through the cookie controls available on the Site (if presented), or by adjusting your browser settings as described below.

If you continue using the Site after making your selections, we will apply them going forward unless you update them.

Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies in Your Browser

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including:

• Viewing which cookies are stored
• Deleting existing cookies
• Blocking all cookies or only third-party cookies
• Setting rules per website

Common browser paths include settings labeled “Privacy,” “Security,” or “Cookies.” If you delete cookies, you may be signed out of your account, and some preferences may reset.

To learn more about account-related details on this platform, you can also review PrizePicks.

What Happens If You Block Cookies

Blocking cookies can change how the Site behaves. For example:

• You may need to log in more often
• Certain pages may not load correctly
• Some features may not work reliably
• Preferences (like language or region) may not be saved
• Security checks may be stricter or trigger more often

Essential cookies are especially important - disabling them can prevent the Site from operating as intended.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no universal standard for how websites must respond to DNT, the Site may not respond to DNT signals in a consistent way across all browsers. We will continue to monitor developments and adjust where appropriate.

Policy Updates - When We Make Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the Site operates. When we do, we will update the “last updated” date by publishing the revised version on this page. Changes take effect once posted, unless otherwise required by law.
