Natural8 uses browser technologies to support website functions, remember visitor preferences and understand how people interact with its pages. These technologies can also help show relevant content based on browsing behaviour, device type and previous interactions.
Browser-stored files are small pieces of information kept on a device. Natural8 also refers to related technologies such as device identifiers and web beacons. The sections below explain their purposes, the types of information involved and the controls available to visitors.
Purpose of Cookies on the Website
These technologies help Natural8 maintain website functionality and tailor parts of the site to individual visitors. They can remember browsing activity, browser type, device information and previously viewed products or promotions.
They can also help identify how a visitor reached the website, such as through a search engine or affiliate network. This provides information about traffic sources and how users navigate the site.
Categories of Files in Use
Natural8 uses different types of browser technologies for operational, analytical and recognition purposes.
| Technology type | Main purpose |
| Session cookies | Maintain an active web session |
| Persistent cookies | Retain information until expiration |
| Analytics tools | Measure website usage |
| Web beacons | Count visits to selected pages |
| Device identifiers | Support recognition functions |
Session-based files are particularly relevant to website poker because the browser needs to accept them before a visitor can log in or register. Persistent technologies remain stored for longer according to their individual settings.
Third-Party and Analytics Scripts
Natural8 uses analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with its website. The policy also refers to electronic images known as web beacons or spotlight tags, which can be used to count visits to particular pages.
These technologies provide statistical information about website use. Natural8 states that information collected through these methods is not sold or passed to other parties for their own independent use.
Websites operated by third parties can have separate privacy and browser-data practices. Their handling of visitor information is not automatically covered by Natural8’s own policy.
Storage Periods and Data Collected
The storage period depends on the type and purpose of the technology. Session data normally exists only during the active browser session, while persistent files remain until their defined expiration.
Information associated with these technologies can include browsing activity, browser type, device type, preferred products and the route through which a visitor reached the website. Natural8 also automatically logs IP addresses for statistical and advertising purposes.
The policy does not specify one universal retention period for every technology. Instead, storage duration depends on its specific function and configuration.
Managing Preferences in Your Browser
Visitors can manage browser-data preferences through their browser settings. Depending on the browser and device, users can:
- Reject new cookies before they are stored.
- Receive notifications when a website attempts to place cookies.
- Delete cookies that have already been saved.
- Adjust permissions for individual websites where supported.
The exact controls depend on the browser being used. Changes made through browser settings can affect Natural8 as well as other websites.
Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Disabling these technologies can affect website functionality and personalised features. Natural8 states that visitors may lose access to certain parts of the site, including casino games, poker tournaments, promotions and personalised offers.
Session cookies are particularly important for the web-based poker service. A browser configured to reject them may therefore prevent login or registration through the website.
FAQ
Does Natural8 sell information collected through cookies?
No. Natural8 states that information collected through these technologies is not sold or passed to other parties for their own independent use.
What happens to my saved preferences if I delete Natural8 cookies?
Removing stored files can clear information saved by the browser, including certain preferences or settings associated with previous visits. These choices may need to be configured again during a later visit.
Can a new browser session affect my previous website activity?
Closing the browser can end information stored only for the current session. Persistent files can remain available until they expire or are manually removed, so their behaviour differs from session-based storage.
Does Natural8 use web beacons to access personal information?
The policy describes web beacons as tools for counting visits and analysing website use in aggregate. They are not described as tools for directly accessing personal information.
What happens if session cookies are blocked?
The website may be unable to establish the session required for login or registration. Other functions that depend on active session data may also become unavailable.
