4. Examples of Platform-Related Cookie Purposes
To help you understand how cookies power our features, here are a few examples:
- Logged-in user session: We use secure, HttpOnly cookies to keep your account securely logged in.
- Guest session continuity: If you are browsing without an account, a cookie may track your temporary points or predictions.
- Consent or preference storage: Saving choices about UI layouts or cookie banners so you aren't asked repeatedly.
- Security and abuse prevention: Preventing multiple rapid requests or detecting suspicious login attempts.
- Stream embed functionality: Third-party providers use cookies to load video players securely.
5. Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Services
Because Zero1 Gaming heavily integrates live content and external logins, third parties may set cookies when you use our platform:
- Twitch Embeds: The Twitch video player and chat integrations may set their own cookies according to Twitch's privacy policies.
- Kick Embeds: Kick live streams embedded on our site may also set tracking or session cookies.
- OAuth Providers: When logging in via Google, Apple, Amazon, Twitch, or Kick, those services may set cookies on their respective domains during the authentication flow.
These services manage their own cookies under their respective policies. Zero1 Gaming does not control third-party cookies.
6. Cookie Duration
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:
- Session Cookies: These expire when you close your browser or after a defined period of inactivity. They are used for temporary functionality.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a defined period (such as days or months) unless manually deleted. Authentication sessions may persist for multiple days to support login continuity, where permitted.
7. Managing Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, but access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.
