Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 23, 2026
Last Updated: October 1, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Ahmed ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you access or use Jackaroo ("the Service").

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser.

Cookies allow websites to:

Keep you signed in
Remember your preferences
Improve security
Maintain sessions
Understand how the Service is used
Improve performance

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you, but they may be linked to your account or device.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the operation of the Service.

Examples include:

User authentication
Session management
Security verification
CSRF protection
Fraud prevention
Load balancing

Without these cookies, certain features may not function correctly.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember settings that improve your experience.

Examples include:

Language selection
Theme preferences
Interface settings
Accessibility options

These cookies help personalize your experience.

Security Cookies

Security cookies help us protect both users and the Service.

They may be used to:

Detect suspicious login activity
Prevent unauthorized access
Verify authenticated sessions
Reduce abuse and fraud

Performance Cookies

Performance cookies help us understand how the Service performs.

They may collect anonymous or aggregated information such as:

Page load times
Feature usage
Error rates
Performance metrics

This information helps us improve reliability and user experience.

Analytics Cookies

We use PostHog Cloud to understand how the Service is used.

PostHog may store cookies or similar identifiers and collect information regarding:

Pages visited
Time spent on the Service
Navigation patterns
Browser information
Device information
Session recordings (form fields are masked)

These cookies are used for product analytics, not for Google advertising. Advertising consent is collected separately through Google’s CMP (see Advertising Cookies below).

Advertising Cookies

Optional Meta ad measurement

Jackaroo can load the Meta Pixel to report normal live match completions to Meta (Facebook and Instagram) so we can measure our ads. Meta receives device and visit information, including browser headers, page address, and identifiers it sets. Internal player and game identifiers stay on your device to prevent duplicate reports and are not included in the event parameters. Forfeits, timeouts, tutorials, and spectators are excluded. This reports normal finishes, not necessarily a player's first-ever match.

This measurement is off unless you turn it on in Settings, under Privacy & ads (Allow or Don't share). That choice is separate from Google’s advertising consent and does not affect gameplay. Choosing Don't share stops future reporting. It does not remove information already sent to Meta. See Meta’s Privacy Policy.

Ads displayed within the Service

Free users may see advertisements within the Service served by Google AdSense.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising consent is collected through Google’s certified consent management platform (Privacy & messaging / Funding Choices, IAB TCF). That dialog is shown by Google when required; Jackaroo does not use a separate custom ad-consent banner for those regions.

Advertising partners (including Google) may use cookies or similar technologies to:

Measure advertising performance
Limit repeated advertisements
Display more relevant advertisements

We do not control cookies placed by third-party advertising providers.

You can reopen Google’s ad privacy / consent controls from Settings when the consent platform is available. Please also refer to Google's Privacy Policy and related advertising settings.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services integrated into Jackaroo may set their own cookies.

Examples may include:

Stripe
Google AdSense
PostHog
Content delivery networks (CDNs)
Embedded content providers

These cookies are governed by the respective third party's policies.

5. Session Cookies

Some cookies are temporary.

These "session cookies" are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

Session cookies help maintain your authenticated session while you are using the Service.

6. Persistent Cookies

Other cookies remain stored after your browser is closed.

Persistent cookies may remember:

Login preferences
Language selection
User settings
Security preferences

Persistent cookies expire automatically after a defined period or may be deleted manually.

7. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to:

View stored cookies
Delete cookies
Block cookies
Receive notifications before cookies are stored

Instructions vary by browser.

Please consult your browser's documentation for details.

8. Effects of Disabling Cookies

Disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the Service from functioning properly.

For example, you may be unable to:

Sign in
Maintain an active session
Use multiplayer features
Access subscription features
Save preferences

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) preference.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, Jackaroo does not currently respond differently based on such signals.

If this changes in the future, this Policy will be updated.

10. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect:

Changes in technology
New Service features
Legal requirements
Third-party integrations

Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by other reasonable means where required by law.

11. Contact

Questions regarding this Cookie Policy may be submitted through the Contact page on the Jackaroo website (/contact) or by emailing [email protected].

Thank you for helping us maintain a secure and reliable experience for all users.
