FanDuel Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit it. They're like little notes to yourself, reminding you of settings or preferences you've made earlier.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to make our website work better for you and to provide a more personalized experience. We also use them to gather information about how people interact with our site, so we can improve it over time.

Essential Cookies

Some cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. These include:

Session ID: This cookie helps us keep track of your login session and ensures you stay logged in.
Authentication tokens: We use these to verify your identity and grant access to secure areas of our site.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. They help us:

Keep you logged in during a single visit
Track changes made to certain settings or preferences

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies stay on your device between visits, allowing us to remember:

Your preferred language setting
Any customizations you've made to our website (e.g., layout or font size)

Functional Cookies

We use functional cookies to enhance the functionality of our site. These include:

Language and region selection: We store your preference for a specific language or region, so we can serve content in your preferred format.
Customization settings: If you've adjusted any settings (e.g., text size), we'll remember these changes.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how people interact with our site. This helps us:

Track website traffic
Identify popular features or areas of interest

These performance cookies are third-party integrations that allow us to monitor and analyze user behavior.

Preface to Analytics and Performance Information:

While we strive for transparency, specific aggregate analytics data is only shared with our development team. This aggregated information doesn't include individual identifiers and serves the purpose of improving site functionality.

Preference Settings

We respect your right to adjust settings on our website, including:

Language preferences
Customization options (e.g., layout or font size)
Device-specific settings

When adjusting these settings, we'll remember them for future visits using persistent cookies.

Login and Session Continuity:

To provide a seamless experience, we use session ID cookies to ensure that your login credentials persist between pages. This helps maintain continuity during an active session.

Device Recognition

We may set additional cookies when you interact with our site on different devices (e.g., switching from laptop to tablet). These allow us to adapt settings and preferences according to the specific device being used.

Cookies for Security:

Some security-related cookies are necessary for:

Verifying authentication tokens
Detecting potential threats

These essential cookies play a critical role in safeguarding our site against malicious activity.

Browser Storage Technologies

We respect users' browser choices and provide alternatives to traditional cookie usage, like HTML5 local storage or offline data storage. These enable us to store preferences securely without using conventional cookies.

Third-Party Integrations:

Our website incorporates third-party integrations for various features (e.g., social media sharing buttons). Be aware that these parties may set their own tracking technologies, including cookies, when you use our site.

Note on Third-Party Cookies and Aggregated Data:

Where applicable, specific aggregated analytics data might be shared with third-party integrators for functional or technical purposes. However, individual user information remains anonymous in such cases, and we'll only share it if necessary to address a technical issue or optimize performance.

Login/Account Continuity:

We use secure session cookies or other mechanisms (such as OAuth or JWT tokens) when logging you into our system without asking for additional credentials. This way, we minimize user experience interruptions during active sessions and preserve the context of your last action(s).

Security-Related Cookies:

For optimal security features like multi-factor authentication, login timeout prevention, or IP-based geolocation blocking (to protect against automated malicious traffic), our team relies on cookies for session data management.

Cookie Consent Management

We recognize the importance of user consent when it comes to cookie usage. We ask you to choose whether you want us to set functional, analytics/performance-related and third-party integrations-based tracking technologies or not (see below for more details).

However, remember that some essential security features use non-optional cookies for protecting your data.

Browser Cookie Controls:

As a browser user, you have the right to:

Accept all types of cookies
Disable individual categories or entire cookie usage when available through their built-in controls

Clearing Cookies

We want to make it easy for users to manage their online experience. When clearing our site's cookies using your device settings (usually found under Privacy options), we recommend the following:

1. Set your browser preferences accordingly.

2. Understand that some functionality may be impacted, but most services should remain available if you decide against allowing specific categories of technologies from us or third-party integrations.
