This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how Playto, Inc., a Delaware corporation at 8 The Green, Ste R, Dover, DE 19901, United States ("Playto", "we", "us" or "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use Playto websites, account interfaces, checkout experiences and other online services.

This Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains how Playto processes personal information more generally.

The rules that apply to storage or access technologies vary by jurisdiction. Playto therefore applies consent, notice and opt-out controls according to the law applicable to the relevant user, technology and purpose.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored in a browser or device. They can help a website recognize a browser, maintain a session, remember settings, detect suspicious activity, understand usage or support other website functions.

Similar technologies can perform comparable functions without using a traditional browser cookie. These may include local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits, device identifiers, link decoration and other technologies that store information on or access information from a device.

For convenience, this Policy uses the term "cookies" to include cookies and comparable storage or access technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

First-party cookies are set or read by Playto-controlled domains. Third-party technologies are supplied by another organization whose technology appears on or interacts with a Playto page.

Third parties may support functions such as payment processing, fraud prevention, identity verification, analytics, customer support, embedded content or advertising where enabled.

A third party may act as Playto's processor or service provider, as an independent controller, or in another legally recognized role depending on the activity. The Privacy Policy explains these role distinctions more generally.

Depending on the production configuration, Playto may use the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary and essential technologies for requested services, security, authentication and core technical operation.
  • Preference and functionality technologies that remember settings or adapt the service to user choices.
  • Analytics and performance technologies used to understand use of Playto and improve reliability or usability.
  • Advertising and marketing technologies used, where enabled, to measure campaigns, attribute conversions or support targeted advertising.

The legal treatment of a technology depends on its actual purpose and configuration, not only the category label assigned to it.

Playto may use cookies that are necessary to provide a service you request or to keep the website and platform secure and operational.

These technologies may support functions such as:

  • maintaining a logged-in or checkout session;
  • authenticating users and protecting accounts;
  • remembering security or privacy choices;
  • maintaining transaction or checkout state;
  • routing traffic and balancing system load;
  • preventing duplicate submissions;
  • detecting and preventing fraud or abuse where necessary for the requested service or security; and
  • preserving technical settings required for the service to function.

Where applicable law permits these technologies without consent, Playto may use them without an opt-in. An essential classification does not permit Playto to reuse the same technology for unrelated advertising or tracking.

Preference or functionality technologies may remember language, region, display settings or other choices and can adapt how Playto appears or functions.

Where the applicable law requires consent, Playto will request consent before activating the technology. Where a jurisdiction provides a specific exemption for low-risk preference or appearance technologies, Playto may rely on that exemption only when its conditions are satisfied.

A technology is not treated as essential merely because it is convenient or improves Playto's business operations.

Playto may use analytics and performance technologies to understand how visitors and users interact with the website and platform, measure reliability, identify errors, understand navigation patterns and improve product performance.

Depending on the tool and configuration, analytics information can include page views, session events, device or browser characteristics, referral information, approximate location and interaction data.

In jurisdictions that require consent for the relevant analytics technology, Playto will not activate it until the required consent has been obtained. Where a jurisdiction permits limited statistical analytics without consent, Playto will rely on that exception only if the actual configuration satisfies the statutory requirements.

Where Playto uses advertising or marketing technologies, they may help measure campaigns, attribute visits or conversions, limit repeated advertising, build audiences or show Playto advertising on other services.

Advertising technologies are not treated as strictly necessary merely because they help Playto acquire customers or measure marketing performance.

Playto will use these technologies only where permitted by applicable law and will provide any required consent, opt-out or privacy-choice mechanism.

Nothing in this Policy states that Playto currently conducts every form of behavioral advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising or data "sharing" defined by U.S. privacy law. Legal treatment depends on the technologies actually deployed.

When you use a Playto checkout or payment experience, cookies or similar technologies may be used to maintain the checkout session, remember transaction state, authenticate a user, prevent duplicate submissions, protect payment credentials, detect fraud or support a selected payment method.

Payment, banking, wallet, identity or fraud-prevention providers may also use their own technologies in connection with a hosted, embedded or redirected experience.

Where a payment or security technology is strictly necessary for the service you request, it may operate without optional-cookie consent where applicable law permits. Where the technology has additional analytics, advertising or cross-site purposes, those additional purposes must be assessed separately.

Playto does not classify every fraud-prevention or payment technology as automatically exempt from consent. The classification depends on the actual function, configuration and applicable law.

A Playto page may include an embedded or integrated third-party service, such as a payment interface, support tool, scheduling widget, video or other interactive feature.

Where an embedded technology is non-essential and applicable law requires prior consent, Playto should prevent the technology from activating until the required choice has been made.

Where the third party independently determines how it processes data through its own service, its privacy and cookie terms may also apply.

Where applicable law requires prior consent, Playto will request a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous choice before using the relevant non-essential technologies.

Consent-based categories should not be activated through pre-selected options where affirmative consent is required. Continuing to browse alone is not treated as consent where the law requires a positive action.

Where Playto offers an "accept" option, the interface should provide an accessible way to refuse non-essential cookies or manage categories without making refusal materially harder than acceptance.

If the purpose or use of a consent-based technology changes materially, Playto may request fresh consent where required.

For users protected by EU electronic-privacy rules, Playto will obtain consent before storing or accessing information on a device unless an applicable exemption permits the technology without consent.

Common exemptions can include technologies used solely to transmit communications or technologies that are strictly necessary to provide an online service specifically requested by the user.

Analytics, advertising and other non-essential technologies will be assessed according to the law applicable in the relevant EEA jurisdiction. Where consent is required, the technology will not be set before consent, and withdrawal must be available.

Consent under electronic-privacy rules and a lawful basis for subsequent processing of Personal Data are related but distinct requirements. Satisfying one does not automatically satisfy the other.

United Kingdom rules governing storage and access technologies were amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. Playto may use a technology without consent where a valid UK statutory exception applies.

In addition to communications and strictly necessary exceptions, UK law can permit certain technologies used solely to collect statistical information about use of a service with a view to improving it, and certain technologies used to adapt or improve the appearance or functionality of a service.

Where Playto relies on one of those UK statistical or appearance/functionality exceptions, Playto will provide clear information about the technology and a simple, free way to object, and will comply with the other conditions of the exception. The statistical exception is not used for advertising, individual tracking or profiling merely because a tool also provides analytics.

If the conditions for an exception are not met, Playto will obtain consent where UK law requires it.

You may change or withdraw cookie consent for future use through Playto's cookie-preference interface where available.

Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before the withdrawal. After withdrawal, Playto will stop the affected consent-based technologies for future activity to the extent required and technically applicable.

A small essential record may be retained to remember your privacy choice so that Playto does not repeatedly ask for the same preference.

Playto may keep records of cookie choices where reasonably necessary to demonstrate consent, honor an objection, prevent repeated prompts or maintain a legally required opt-out.

A consent record may include the choice made, consent categories, date and time, policy or banner version, device or browser identifier, region information and other information reasonably necessary to demonstrate the choice.

Consent records are handled under the Privacy Policy and should be retained only for an appropriate period.

Playto's production website should provide a cookie-preference or consent interface where required by applicable law.

The live interface, or another current notice linked from it, should identify the technologies actually deployed and, where required or reasonably appropriate, their category, provider, purpose and duration.

This Policy intentionally does not invent cookie names, vendor names or expiry periods. The production inventory must reflect the live technology stack. If Playto adds, removes or materially reconfigures an analytics, advertising, support, payment or other technology, the inventory and consent configuration should be updated accordingly.

Cookies may be session-based or persistent.

  • Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends.
  • Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiry period or until deleted.

Playto should configure duration so that it is proportionate to the purpose and applicable law. A technology should not be assigned an unnecessarily long lifetime merely for convenience.

The current live inventory controls the description of the duration of the particular technology actually deployed.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, limit or block cookies through browser settings. Blocking all cookies can affect authentication, checkout, security, saved preferences and other functionality.

Browser controls operate separately from Playto's own preference interface. Deleting cookies may also delete the record of your prior choices and cause the preference banner to appear again.

Controls and terminology differ by browser and device, so consult the settings or support materials provided by your browser or device provider.

Some browsers and extensions can send privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control ("GPC").

Where applicable U.S. privacy law requires Playto to treat a recognized universal opt-out signal as a request to opt out of covered sale, sharing, targeted advertising or profiling, Playto will honor the signal to the extent required.

A GPC signal and European-style cookie consent are different legal mechanisms. A U.S. opt-out signal does not by itself constitute affirmative consent to technologies that require opt-in consent under another applicable law.

U.S. state privacy laws may regulate certain cookie-derived information as a sale, sharing, targeted advertising or profiling even where a European-style cookie consent rule does not apply.

Where Playto engages in processing that triggers a legally required opt-out, Playto will provide the applicable choice through the cookie-preference tool, a privacy-choice mechanism, a recognized universal opt-out signal or another lawful method.

Playto does not sell personal information in exchange for money. Some state laws use broader definitions of "sale" or "sharing," so the legal classification depends on the actual technology and data flow.

Information collected through cookies can constitute personal information even where it does not directly state a person's name.

Depending on the technology, information may include IP address, cookie or device identifiers, browser characteristics, approximate location, session information, page interactions, referral information, account state, security events and advertising or analytics events.

Playto processes that information under the Privacy Policy, including the sections describing purposes, legal bases, sharing, international transfers, retention and privacy rights.

Cookie-derived information may be processed by service providers or other third parties that support the applicable purpose, such as hosting, security, analytics, support, payment or advertising providers.

The categories of recipients, Playto's privacy roles and international-transfer safeguards are described in the Privacy Policy. A specific technology may also be subject to the third party's own notice where that third party acts independently.

Playto should not activate a third-party technology merely because the third party offers its own cookie notice. Playto remains responsible for the notices and choices required for Playto's own deployment of the technology.

Playto is designed for businesses and professional-service transactions and is not intended for children.

Playto does not intentionally use advertising technologies to profile children through the Playto service. If applicable law imposes heightened consent or opt-out requirements based on age, Playto will apply those requirements to the extent the relevant processing occurs.

Playto may update this Policy to reflect changes in its websites, products, cookie stack, privacy practices or applicable law.

If a change materially affects a consent-based purpose, Playto will request renewed consent where applicable law requires it rather than relying only on an updated policy.

The live cookie-preference interface may change more frequently than this Policy as individual technologies are added, removed or reconfigured.
