When you visit Vave, small text files called cookies are placed on your device. These files help our platform function the way it should — keeping your session active, remembering your settings, and making sure things run consistently from one page to the next. We take our responsibility around data seriously, and this policy is here to explain exactly how we use cookies, what types we deploy, and what options you have when it comes to managing them.
Why We Use Cookies at Vave
Cookies play a practical, behind-the-scenes role every time you interact with our platform. Without them, core parts of your experience simply would not work the way they should. Here is a breakdown of the main reasons we rely on them.
First and foremost, cookies keep you securely logged in during your session. When you authenticate your account and begin playing, cookies make sure you stay connected without being interrupted or kicked out unexpectedly. This is especially important on a platform where active gameplay requires a continuous and stable session state.
We also use cookies to remember your preferences. If you have adjusted language settings, display options, or currency display choices, cookies allow those selections to persist across your visit. You should not have to re-configure your setup every time you arrive.
From a security standpoint, certain cookies help us identify and flag unusual activity. They assist our systems in distinguishing your legitimate session from potentially fraudulent requests, which is a core part of keeping your account protected.
Finally, cookies support the technical performance of our platform. They help our systems understand how different parts of the site are loading and whether any areas may need attention — allowing us to maintain a consistent standard of service for all players on Vave.
Types of Cookies We Deploy
We organize the cookies we use into distinct categories based on their function. Understanding what each type does will give you a clearer picture of how your data is handled when you visit our platform.
Essential Cookies
These are strictly necessary for the platform to operate. Without them, features like logging in, navigating between sections, and maintaining a secure session would not function at all. Essential cookies cannot be disabled if you wish to use Vave in any meaningful way. They include:
- Session authentication cookies – confirm that you are logged in and keep your session active
- Security tokens – help protect against cross-site request forgery and unauthorized access attempts
- Load-balancing cookies – ensure your requests are handled by a consistent server during your session
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how our platform is used — which areas are visited most, how long players spend on certain sections, and whether any errors are occurring. The data gathered through these cookies is aggregated and not used to identify you individually. It helps us understand what is working well and where we may need to make improvements.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow our platform to remember choices you have made so that we can deliver a more consistent experience. This includes things like your preferred language or display settings. These cookies do not track your activity on other websites and are focused entirely on improving how Vave behaves during your visit.
- Language and locale preferences – stores your chosen language setting
- UI customization settings – remembers any interface preferences you have selected
Third-Party Cookies in iGaming
In addition to cookies we place directly, certain third parties may also set cookies on your device when you use our platform. This is common in the iGaming space and worth being transparent about.
Our accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, cryptocurrency options such as BTC and USDT, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal using any of these methods, the relevant payment provider may place cookies on your device as part of their fraud detection and transaction verification processes. These cookies are controlled by those providers and governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review separately.
Some technology and service providers integrated into our platform may also use cookies for operational purposes — for example, to ensure that certain platform features load correctly or that content is displayed as intended. These third-party integrations are selected with due care, and any cookies they place are intended to support the operation of our platform rather than to track your activity independently for unrelated purposes.
We do not have direct control over third-party cookies once they are set, but we work to ensure that the partners we integrate with operate under appropriate data protection standards. If you have concerns about specific third-party cookies, managing them through your browser settings is the most direct route to adjusting what is stored on your device.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
You have real options when it comes to controlling how cookies are used on your device, and we want to make sure you know what those options are.
When you first visit Vave, a cookie consent notice will appear. This gives you the opportunity to accept or decline non-essential cookies before any are placed. You can revisit and update those selections at any time through your Vave cookie settings, accessible via the consent tool on our platform.
In addition to our on-site controls, you can manage cookies directly through your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- View all cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or clear all stored cookies at once
- Block cookies from specific sites or third-party sources
- Set your browser to notify you before any cookie is placed
The steps to do this vary by browser, but the settings are typically found under Privacy, Security, or Site Data sections within your browser preferences.
It is worth noting that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use Vave properly. You may find yourself unable to stay logged in or access certain areas of the platform. Non-essential cookies, such as those used for performance measurement or functionality preferences, can be turned off without disrupting your core access to the site.
To review how your data is handled more broadly, we encourage you to read our full Privacy Policy for complete details on data collection, storage, and your rights as a player.
Policy Updates and How to Reach Us
This cookie policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in applicable regulations, our platform's technical setup, or the guidance issued by relevant data protection authorities. When meaningful changes are made, we will update this page accordingly. We recommend checking back periodically to stay informed about how we handle cookies at Vave.
Vave holds a licence issued by the Curacao Gaming Authority, and our data practices are shaped in part by the compliance requirements tied to that regulatory framework.
If you have questions about this policy or would like clarification on any specific aspect of how we use cookies, our support team is available around the clock. You can reach us through live chat, email, or the contact form on our platform — all available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
