F. Opting Out of Third-Party Tailored Advertising
In games that serve third-party tailored ads, we provide a toggle button to disable them.
For more information about tailored advertising and your choices to prevent third parties from delivering tailored web and mobile web advertising you can visit www.aboutads.info. To opt out, for businesses that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance, you can exercise that option at www.networkadvertising.org/choices and www.aboutads.info/choices.
If you live in the EU, you can get information and exercise your choices at www.youronlinechoices.com.
These opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Sloty Games. Sloty Games does not control, operate, or endorse these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools. They are listed here only as a convenience for players.
In addition, if you do not want to receive third-party tailored ads, you may opt-out by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device. You can also reset the advertising identifier (like an IDFA) from your device’s Settings, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to the previous advertising identifier. Further, depending on the platform provider (such as Apple or Google), you may be able to download apps, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “AppChoices” app, that offer to provide you with control regarding the collection and use of cross-app data for tailored advertising. Like the opt-out tools mentioned above for web, these mobile opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Sloty Games. Sloty Games does not control, operate or endorse these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.
Please note that you may still receive advertisements from Sloty Games and third parties within Sloty Games games even if you opt out of tailored advertising; these ads will not be tailored to you.
G. Opting Out of Cookie Tracking
You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your device or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit the Adobe website and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel.
If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of our Service because Sloty Games cookies are necessary for providing the Service.
