Cookies Policy

LAST UPDATED: 3rd June 2025

This Cookies Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and describes the different types of cookies and other similar technologies that may be used in connection with the Platform to facilitate the Services to You. This Cookies Policy also describes how you can manage cookies and other similar technologies. Please read this Cookies Policy with our Privacy Policy.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Cookies Policy can be found in our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and any other rules, policies or guidelines published on the Platform as applicable to you (collectively referred to as the "Platform Terms"). By accessing our Platform, you agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this Cookies Policy, subject to your choices.

A. What are Cookies and other similar technologies?

Cookies are small files of data in the form of text files created by web browsers you may use and are stored on your device's hard drive. They allow website providers to identify users, store preferential information, and understand users' browsing activities.

There are other similar technologies (as specified below) that allow us and third parties to obtain information about your visits to the Site, usage of the Platform, including to analyze your visiting patterns. We use this information to provide Services on the Platform and to deliver messages and content for us and others that are specific to your interests.

B. Cookies and Similar Technologies – General Information

There are two main types of cookies:

• First-party cookies: These are set by Playto directly when you use our Site.
• Third-party cookies: These are set by other websites or services, such as those of certain third-party service providers whose platforms may be integrated with our Platform to facilitate Services to you (e.g., analytics providers, advertising partners, social media integrations).

Cookies alone cannot typically be used to disclose your individual identity to us, though in some cases we may tie Playto's or third-party cookies to personal information you have provided to us or that we have otherwise obtained about you in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are used to improve your experience of the Platform. For example, we may use cookies to:

• (a) remember your username and password for future visits so that log-in is easier and faster;
• (b) track your response to Platform content for analysis and improvement;
• (c) measure how many people use the Platform, and how they use it, so that we may keep it running quickly and efficiently; and
• (d) help us and others deliver communications and content to you that are relevant and responsive to your interests and location.

Other technologies that may be used include:

• Web beacons (or pixel tags): Tiny graphics used to understand browsing activity and ad effectiveness.
• Social widgets: Buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers (e.g., Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn) that allow you to interact with those social media services when you view a webpage or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget and are controlled by such third parties.
• UTM codes: Strings that can appear in a URL (the web address) when you move from one web page or website to another. The string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.
• Local Storage and Session Storage: Web storage technologies that allow websites to store data in a user's browser.
• SDKs (Software Development Kits): Blocks of code provided by third parties that may be included in our mobile applications to provide functionality such as analytics, social media integration, or advertising.

We may contract with third-party service providers to help manage and optimize our internet business and communications, and these third-party service providers may also use the technologies described in this section to collect certain information.

C. What Cookies and Other Technologies are in Use and Why Do We Use Them?

The specific cookies and similar technologies we use can change. We aim to keep the information below reasonably up-to-date. You can typically find more detailed information about the cookies used on our site through your browser's developer tools or a cookie consent management tool if provided on our site.

Based on the types of cookies often used by platforms like Playto, here's a general list. The actual list will depend on Playto's specific integrations:

The cookies and other similar technologies that we use may change from time-to-time depending on Services we offer. We shall endeavour to update this information from time-to-time. Alternatively, you may also write to us at support@playto.so requesting more information about the cookies we use.

In general, we may use the following types of cookies on the Platform:

• Essential Cookies (or Strictly Necessary Cookies): These are necessary for the Platform to work and enable you to move around it and use its services and features (e.g., logging into your account, maintaining your session). Disabling these cookies will likely make core services and features unavailable.
• Functional Cookies (or Preference Cookies): These allow the Platform to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
• Performance Cookies (or Analytics Cookies): These collect information about how you use our Platform, for instance, which pages you go to most often, and if you get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies you directly. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our Platform works. This includes services like Google Analytics.
• Advertising Cookies (or Targeting Cookies): These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
• Social Media Cookies: These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we may have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks (e.g., Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn). They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

Google Analytics:

We use Google Analytics to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Platform and to better understand how they find and use the Platform. The data collected includes data related to your device/browser and on-site activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions on the Platform. Any data collected is used in accordance with this Policy and Google’s privacy policy. You may learn more about Google Analytics by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

Other Third-Party Technologies:

Some third parties may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about you when you browse the Internet. The information they collect about your online browsing activities over time and across different websites and other online services may be associated with your personal information and used to provide you with targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.

Cookies on Creator’s Page:

When a Creator uses Playto to build their Page, certain essential and functional cookies may be used by Playto to ensure the proper functioning of the Creator's Page for their Members (e.g., session management, remembering login status for Members). Playto does not use these platform-level functional cookies on a Creator's Page to collect Personal Data of Members for Playto's independent marketing purposes.

Creators are responsible for their own use of cookies or tracking technologies they may implement on their Page (e.g., if they embed third-party analytics or advertising pixels for their own purposes) and must comply with applicable laws, including obtaining consent from their Members if required.
