Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser so it can recognise you on the next page or the next visit. This policy covers the MyGameZone poker games – Social Poker Holdem, The Poker Club Pro, Global Poker and Blue Chip Poker (“the games”) – and the website mygamezone.app. It adds detail to the cookies section of our Privacy policy.
We only use cookies that the games need to work. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not let advertisers track you through the games.
2. Cookies in the games
Each game sets its cookies only on its own address (for example socialpoker.mygamezone.app), so every game and every device keeps its own.
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
perfectpoker_session, thepokerclub_session, global_poker_session | Session: keeps you logged in while you move between pages, and protects forms and payments. Needed for the games to work. | Until you close the browser |
poker_hash | “Remember me”: logs you in automatically on this device. Set only when you log in; removed when you log out. Readable only by our server. | Up to 120 days |
mgz_ref | EARN CHIPS: set only when you open a friend’s invite link, so the invite is credited if you create an account. Removed once used. | 30 days |
All of these are strictly necessary for a service you ask for (logging in, staying logged in, accepting an invite), so they do not need your consent under the UK and EU cookie rules. We still show a cookie notice the first time you visit.
3. Storage in your browser
Besides cookies, the games save a few things in your browser’s local storage: that you have seen the cookie notice, and your game settings such as sound and the last lobby tab. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us for tracking. Clearing your browser’s site data removes it.
4. Third parties
Some services we use set their own cookies, under their own policies, only when you use them:
- Stripe and PayPal – on their payment pages, to process the payment and prevent fraud;
- Cloudflare Turnstile – the check against bots on sign-up and password reset;
- Meta (Facebook) – when you play through Facebook or Facebook Instant Games, or open our Facebook page.
5. The mygamezone.app website
The mygamezone.app website itself sets no cookies and uses no tracking or analytics. Links to Facebook and Instagram take you to those sites, which have their own cookie policies.
6. How to control cookies
You can see and delete cookies in your browser settings, and block them for any site. If you block or delete the cookies above, you will need to log in again, and the games may not let you log in at all without the session cookie. Logging out removes the “remember me” cookie.
7. Changes and contact
If we add or change cookies, we will update this page; the date at the top shows the latest version.
