Cookie Policy

Scorez Digital Limited ("we", "us", "our") operates https://scorez.io and its associated mobile applications (collectively, the "Platform"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how we use them on the Platform, what choices you have, and how to manage your preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Alongside cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:

• Pixel tags / Web beacons — Tiny transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that signal when a page or email has been opened.
• Local storage — Data stored directly in your browser for functionality purposes.
• Device fingerprinting — A method of identifying a device based on its configuration and settings, used in certain fraud-prevention contexts.
• SDK-based tracking — Mobile Software Development Kits (SDKs) used in our apps that perform similar functions to cookies in a mobile environment.

For convenience, all of the above are collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies based on their purpose. You can manage your preferences for each category via the Privacy Settings on our Platform.

2.4 Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the Platform operator's permission.
