Data Privacy & Tracking Notice

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are compact text files placed onto your device's browser by websites you visit. At ACR Poker, cookies and equivalent HTML5 web storage mechanisms (localStorage and sessionStorage) are employed to retain authentication tokens, preserve user interface preferences (such as 4-color decks and custom bet sizing buttons), prevent account hijacking, and verify game table state integrity.

2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy

We classify cookies into four distinct functional tiers:

Cookie Category Purpose & Operation Retention Period
Strictly Necessary Maintains member login sessions via ./login/, verifies CSRF tokens, and anchors SSL security handshake layers. Session / 30 Days
Table & UI Preferences Remembers sound preferences, avatar choices, card back felt styles, and table tiling setups. Up to 12 Months
Security & Anti-Fraud Detects bot scripts, rapid geolocation changes, and unauthorized credential stuffing attempts. Persistent / 90 Days
Analytics & Performance Monitors aggregate server latency, game load durations, and error reports to optimize 60fps rendering. 6 Months

3. Essential Role in Anti-Collusion Security

Unlike standard commercial blogs, an international gaming cardroom requires continuous device integrity checks. Cookies tied to unique hardware hashes help our automated security neural network verify that the person competing in high-stakes cash tables is the genuine account owner and not an unauthorized third-party bot farm. Disabling security cookies may prevent your account from participating in real-money poker cash tables and tournaments.

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies

Most web browsers (Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge) automatically accept cookies by default. You can adjust your browser settings to decline third-party analytics cookies or prompt you prior to acceptance.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will render the ACR Poker login portal and real-money cashier unresponsive, as authenticated sessions cannot be preserved without secure token verification.

5. Third-Party Analytics Tools

We may utilize anonymized statistical trackers to observe page responsiveness and regional loading latencies. These metrics do not collect or correlate unencrypted personal identities, poker hands, or cryptocurrency transaction addresses.
