What Cookies Are and How Long They Last
A cookie is just a small text file that gets placed in your browser, or on your device, the moment you visit a site, and it gets sent back to that same site, or sometimes to other sites that recognize it, whenever you return. Over time that builds up a bit of a record rather than treating every single visit like a blank slate. Some cookies are session-based and vanish the second you close your browser, while others stick around much longer. WPT Global generally caps cookie lifespans at around 5 years, going beyond that only in specific cases, security purposes being the main one.
Categories of Cookies Used Across the Platform
Required cookies handle the basic technical groundwork needed just to deliver whatever service you’re actually asking for, and because they’re strictly necessary, no consent is needed to use them. Technical cookies go a bit further, supporting things like creating an account, logging in, and keeping the site running properly overall. Functional cookies aren’t strictly necessary the same way, but they still add real value, remembering things like your chosen currency, language, or previous searches so you’re not resetting everything every single time you come back.
Analytics and Advertising Cookies Explained
Beyond just running the site, WPT Global also leans on analytical cookies to understand how people actually use the platform, what pages get viewed, how someone entered or left a session, which browsers or devices show up most. Tools like Google Analytics, including its UserID function, plus services like segment.io, help build that picture out in more detail. Marketing and advertising cookies work alongside all this, shaping which ads a visitor ends up seeing and measuring how well those campaigns are actually performing, sometimes pulling in third-party data such as IP address, device type or how often someone visits, though that data typically gets aggregated and anonymized before it ever reaches WPT Global in any identifiable form.
Cookie Preferences for Players in Thailand
Players in Thailand can manage which cookies they’re okay with directly through their browser settings, whether that’s Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or whatever else you happen to use. Exactly where those settings live varies from browser to browser, so checking the browser’s own help section is usually the quickest way to track them down. Worth flagging though: turning off certain technical or functional cookies can end up limiting which features on the site actually work properly, since some of that functionality depends on those cookies being active in the first place.
Do Not Track Signals and Browser Compatibility
WPT Global doesn’t currently support the ‘Do Not Track’ browser signal, mostly because there’s still no single agreed-upon standard across the industry for what that signal is actually supposed to mean in practice. If a clearer, more universal standard shows up down the line, this Cookie Policy will get revisited with that in mind. In the meantime, anyone wanting more control over analytics tracking specifically can use something like the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which works across most major desktop browsers, including Chrome, Internet Explorer 11, Safari, Firefox and Opera.
WPT Global Operator Details and Responsible Data Use
WPT Global is run by Everstronglink Limited, a company incorporated in Costa Rica, and the platform operates under a license from the Tobique Gaming Commission. Payments run through Kashxa Limited, a Cyprus-registered company acting as payment agent on behalf of the license holder. That structure ties data handling back to an actual licensed operator rather than some anonymous online brand. Alongside that, WPT Global restricts its services to players aged 18 and over and treats data collected through cookies as part of a broader commitment to protecting player privacy and supporting responsible engagement with the platform overall. Checking cookie settings every so often is a simple way to stay in control of what’s being tracked, rather than leaving default settings untouched indefinitely.
