Last Updated: July 24, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how PlayOtter ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our mobile application (collectively, our "Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PlayOtter) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content and analytics).

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service.

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Purpose: Ad targeting, frequency capping, measuring ad effectiveness

Data collected: Ad interaction data, interests, browsing patterns

Third-Party Cookies

Our Service may contain advertising and other content from third parties such as Google AdSense, social media platforms, and analytics providers. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your use of our Service and other websites.
