What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — whether a computer, tablet, or smartphone — when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on return visits and store certain preferences or technical data. Cookies play an essential role in making modern websites function efficiently and providing a seamless user experience.
Some cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser (known as "session cookies"), while others persist on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them (known as "persistent cookies"). Neither type of cookie can access other data stored on your device or compromise your privacy.
How MidnightKiwi Uses Cookies
We use cookies on midnightkiwi.com for several important reasons. They help us deliver a functional, secure, and enjoyable social gaming experience. Specifically, cookies allow us to:
- Keep you signed in during your session so you can navigate between pages without repeated logins.
- Remember your display preferences, such as language settings or theme choices.
- Understand how visitors interact with our platform, which pages are most popular, and where users encounter friction.
- Monitor platform performance, identify technical issues, and improve load times.
- Verify that you have completed our age verification process, so you are not prompted each time you visit.
- Store your cookie consent preference so we respect your choices across sessions.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the core operation of MidnightKiwi. Without them, fundamental features such as account authentication, session management, and security protections would not function. Essential cookies cannot be disabled, as doing so would prevent the platform from operating correctly.
- Session Identifier: Maintains your active session while you browse the platform.
- Age Verification: Records that you have confirmed you are 18 or older, avoiding repeated checks.
- Cookie Consent: Stores your cookie preference selection so we honour your decision on subsequent visits.
- Security Token: Helps protect your account from cross-site request forgery and other threats.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand visitor behaviour on an aggregate level. They collect anonymised data about page views, session duration, bounce rates, and navigation patterns. This information is vital for identifying areas of improvement and ensuring the platform meets user expectations.
- Page View Tracking: Records which pages you visit during a session without identifying you personally.
- Performance Metrics: Measures page load times and resource delivery speed to help us optimise the platform.
- Referral Source: Identifies the website or search engine that directed you to MidnightKiwi.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering choices you make and providing tailored features. While the platform can operate without them, disabling these cookies may reduce the quality and personalisation of your visit.
- Display Preferences: Remembers settings like your preferred layout or font size.
- Recently Played: Keeps track of games you have recently enjoyed so you can return to them quickly.
- Language Selection: Stores your language preference if multiple options are available.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over which cookies are stored on your device. When you first visit MidnightKiwi, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the banner again.
Additionally, most web browsers offer built-in settings that let you block or delete cookies. The steps vary by browser, but you can typically find these controls in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser's settings menu. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impair the platform's core functionality.

Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, trusted third-party services integrated with MidnightKiwi may place their own cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's own privacy and cookie policies, and we do not have direct control over them. Examples of third-party services that may set cookies include:
- Analytics Providers: Services that help us measure site traffic and user engagement using aggregated, anonymised data.
- Content Delivery Networks: Platforms that accelerate the delivery of static assets like images, fonts, and scripts to improve your loading experience.
We carefully vet all third-party partners to ensure they maintain robust data protection standards and comply with applicable privacy regulations.
