You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

For users under 13, we recommend parental supervision and guidance when using our gaming platform.

Regular security audits and updates
Secure server configurations
Limited data collection (localStorage-based approach)
