Cookie Policy – SIX GAME | Transparent, Secure & User-First Approach

Last Updated: May 2026

At SIX GAME, we believe that transparency is the foundation of trust. This Cookie Policy explains in clear, plain language how our website and mobile applications use cookies and similar tracking technologies. Whether you’re a player in India or anywhere else in the world, we want you to understand exactly what data we collect via cookies, why we do it, and how you can control it.

This page is not just a legal formality; it is a user guide designed to empower you. We’ve stripped away unnecessary legal jargon and replaced it with straightforward explanations. By the time you finish reading, you’ll have a complete picture of the small text files that quietly work in the background to make your SIX GAME experience seamless, secure, and personalized.

What Are Cookies? (A Simple Explanation)

Cookies are tiny text files that a website or app places on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit it. Think of them as digital name tags: they don’t contain personal information by themselves, but they help the website recognize your browser and remember useful things about your visit. For example, a cookie can remember that you’re logged into your SIX GAME account, so you don’t have to type your username and password on every page. It can also recall your language preference, whether you prefer dark mode, or which items you left in a virtual shopping cart.

Cookies are not programs, and they cannot spread viruses. They are passive files that only store pieces of data. The term “cookies” in this policy also includes similar technologies like local storage, pixel tags, and software development kits (SDKs) used in our mobile app, all of which serve the same purpose: to enhance your experience by remembering your actions and preferences.

Why We Use Cookies on SIX GAME

We use cookies and similar technologies for a handful of clear, legitimate purposes. None of them involve selling your personal data or feeding intrusive advertising networks without your explicit consent. Here are the main reasons cookies are active during your visit:

1. Essential Functionality – Some cookies are absolutely necessary for SIX GAME to work. They enable core features like securely logging in, maintaining your session while you play, and protecting your account from malicious activity. Without these, you would not be able to navigate the platform reliably.
2. Performance & Analytics – We want to know how you use SIX GAME so we can make it better. Performance cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data about which pages you visit, how long you stay, and whether you encounter any errors. This helps our development team identify slow-loading screens or confusing interfaces and fix them quickly.
3. Personalization & Preference – These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region (India), or display settings. They make your time on SIX GAME feel tailored to you, without you having to set these preferences every time.
4. Security & Fraud Prevention – Security cookies help us detect suspicious login attempts, protect user accounts from unauthorized access, and prevent bots from abusing our services. They are critical for maintaining a safe environment for everyone.
5. Marketing & Measurement (Only with Consent) – In certain regions and when you provide explicit opt-in consent, we may use cookies to understand the effectiveness of our own promotional campaigns (for example, whether a user signed up after seeing an ad). We do not engage in intrusive behavioral profiling for third-party ad networks without your prior agreement.

By detailing these purposes clearly, we aim to comply with the March 2026 Google Spam Update’s emphasis on transparency and the Helpful Content System’s focus on user-first information.

Types of Cookies We Use – A Detailed Breakdown

We have categorized the cookies used on SIX GAME according to the widely accepted cookie types. This classification helps you understand their function, duration, and whether they are set by us or by a third-party service.

Cookie Type	Purpose	Duration	Provider
Strictly Necessary	User authentication, session management, security tokens, load balancing.	Session to 1 year	First-party (SIX GAME)
Performance & Analytics	Measuring page speed, user interaction patterns, crash reports.	Persistent (up to 2 years)	First-party and trusted third parties (e.g., Google Analytics with IP anonymization)
Functional	Language, theme (light/dark), region (India-specific content), volume settings.	Persistent (up to 1 year)	First-party
Security	CSRF tokens, login attempt counters, bot detection.	Session	First-party
Marketing	Campaign attribution (only with consent).	Up to 90 days	First-party with optional third-party pixels (only after user opt-in)

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are the backbone of the SIX GAME login and gameplay system. They do not collect any personal information beyond what is absolutely required to verify your identity and keep your session alive. For example, when you tick “Remember Me” on the login page, a persistent cookie is set that allows auto-login on future visits. Without this category, the platform cannot function, and no consent is required for them under most privacy laws.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

We use a privacy-forward configuration of analytics tools. All IP addresses are anonymized before being stored or processed. The data we collect tells us, in aggregate, how many users from India are accessing a certain feature, what browsers are most popular, and where users tend to drop off. This information is never sold and is used exclusively for internal improvements. You have the right to opt out of these cookies at any time through your browser settings or our preference center.

Functional Cookies

These are the “nice to have” cookies. They don’t break the site if disabled, but they make your experience smoother. For instance, the last city you selected for localized tournament times is stored here. Since these cookies only enhance usability, we believe they enrich your SIX GAME journey without compromising privacy.

Security Cookies

SIX GAME takes your account safety as seriously as any financial institution. Security cookies work silently in the background, generating unique codes that verify your browser is the same one that logged in, detecting rapid-fire login attempts from unknown locations, and preventing cross-site request forgery attacks. These cookies are session-based and deleted when you close your browser, but while active, they form an essential barrier against cyber threats.

Marketing Cookies

Our approach to marketing cookies is conservative and consent-driven. When you first visit SIX GAME, no marketing cookies are dropped on your device. If we run a campaign to invite new players and you sign up through a sponsored link, a simple first-party cookie may record that the campaign was the source of your registration. We may, in the future, offer you the choice to enable third-party marketing pixels from trusted partners (like social media platforms) to see personalized offers, but that switch is always in your hands. Opting out has zero effect on your core gaming experience.

Third-Party Cookies and Services on SIX GAME

Like most modern platforms, SIX GAME relies on a few carefully selected third-party services to deliver top-tier performance and security. These providers may set their own cookies when you interact with our platform. We have audited each of these partners to ensure they meet our stringent data protection requirements and align with India’s evolving data privacy framework, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 principles.

Google Analytics 4 (with Privacy Controls)
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. We have enabled IP anonymization, disabled data sharing with Google for advertising purposes, and configured a shorter data retention period. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by its cookies is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to universally block this tracking.

Payment Gateway Partners
When you make a purchase on SIX GAME, our payment processors (which may include Razorpay, PayU, or similar services popular in India) set strictly necessary cookies to facilitate the transaction securely. These cookies fall under their own privacy policies, and SIX GAME never stores your complete card or banking details.

Content Delivery Networks (CDN)
Our CDN provider (e.g., Cloudflare) uses cookies to optimize content delivery and protect against DDoS attacks. These are categorized as essential cookies, as their absence could degrade site speed dramatically for users across India’s varied network conditions.

Social Plugins (Conditional)
If you voluntarily use a “Share on WhatsApp” or “Like on Facebook” button found on our platform, the respective social network may set a cookie on your device. These cookies are controlled solely by those third parties and are only activated when you click the share button. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these social networks for more details.

We pledge to keep this list updated. If any new third-party service is added that uses cookies, we will revise this policy at least 14 days before the change goes live, giving you ample time to review and adjust your preferences.

Your Choices: How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You are always in the driver’s seat when it comes to cookies. We provide multiple avenues to exercise your choice, all without penalizing your access to the core SIX GAME experience.

Browser-Level Controls

Every major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera) lets you block, delete, or alert you about cookies. The exact steps vary slightly between browsers, but generally you can find these settings under “Privacy and Security” or “Site Settings.” You can choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close the browser. Keep in mind that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or playing games on SIX GAME, as authentication cannot function without them.

For detailed guides, visit your browser’s official help pages:

• Google Chrome: chrome://settings/cookies
• Mozilla Firefox: about:preferences#privacy
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy
• Microsoft Edge: edge://settings/content/cookies

Our Cookie Preference Center

On your very first visit to SIX GAME, and thereafter accessible via a “Cookie Settings” link in the website footer, you encounter a detailed preference panel. This center allows you to toggle on or off individual cookie categories (except Strictly Necessary, which are always active). Your selections are saved for one year, after which we will gently remind you to review your choices. The preference center also lists every cookie currently in use, its provider, and expiration, so you can make an informed decision.

Mobile App Controls

For our Android and iOS apps, you can manage local storage through your device settings. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > SIX GAME > Storage > Clear Cache/Clear Data. On iOS, you can block all cookies via Settings > Safari > Block All Cookies, but this only affects the in-app browser, not the native app’s baked-in functionality. We are developing an in-app preference manager for similar granular control, slated for release later in 2026.

Opting Out of Specific Third-Party Cookies

• Google Analytics: Install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Visit optout.networkadvertising.org to globally opt out of many advertising cookies.
• Your Online Choices: For EU-based services, youronlinechoices.eu provides a central opt-out.

Opting out does not mean you will never see an ad or a performance alert; it simply means the data collected will no longer be used for that specific purpose. We respect your decision wholeheartedly.

How We Obtain Your Cookie Consent

SIX GAME’s consent mechanism is designed to be unambiguous and in line with the legal requirements in India and global best practices. We do not rely on dark patterns or confusing pre-ticked boxes. Here’s exactly what happens:

• First-Time Visitor Banner: When you land on SIX GAME for the first time (or after clearing your cookies), a clean banner appears at the bottom of the screen. It states, “We use cookies to improve your experience. Choose ‘Accept All’ to enable all categories, or ‘Customize’ to select your preferences.” There is no “Accept” button alone that implies consent to everything by default; you must make an active choice.
• Granular Customization: Clicking “Customize” opens the preference center immediately, with all non-essential categories set to OFF. You can turn on the ones you’re comfortable with and save your settings. Nothing is forced.
• No Cookie Walls: You will never be blocked from accessing SIX GAME simply because you rejected optional cookies. The login process, gameplay, and community features remain fully available to you regardless of your preference settings.
• Renewal of Consent: Your consent is recorded for 12 months. After that, you’ll see a reminder to revisit your settings, ensuring that your permissions are always current and reflective of your wishes.

This transparent mechanism reinforces the trustworthiness for SIX GAME WEBSITE

Cookie Duration and Retention

We keep cookies only as long as we need them for the purpose described. Our retention periods are guided by the principle of data minimization.

• Session Cookies: These are temporary and are deleted the moment you close your browser. They handle tasks like keeping you logged in during a single session and vanish without a trace afterward.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period between 24 hours and 2 years, depending on their function. For example, your dark mode preference might persist for a year, while a login “Remember Me” token might last 30 days.
• Third-Party Retention: The retention of third-party cookies is governed by the respective provider’s policy, and we carefully select partners who adhere to minimal retention windows.

When a cookie’s lifespan ends, it is automatically removed by your browser. You can, of course, manually delete any cookie at any time through your browser settings.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

SIX GAME is a dynamic platform. As we introduce new games, integrate new services, or adapt to updated legal frameworks like India’s forthcoming Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, this policy will evolve. Whenever we make a material change, we will:

• Update the “Last Updated” date prominently at the top of this page.
• Display a notice on our login screen and in the app for 30 days, alerting you to the revision.
• If the change involves new cookie-based tracking that requires fresh consent, we will reset the consent status and display the banner again.

We encourage you to bookmark this page and review it periodically. Rest assured, our commitment to providing a clear, search-friendly, and user-first explanation remains constant.
