Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Puntr uses cookies and similar technologies on its website at /cookie-policy. It is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why they are used, and what choices you have when visiting Puntr.

Puntr is operated by PLYR INTERACTIVE, INC. As a social sportsbook and sports prediction platform, Puntr uses cookies to keep the site secure, support account features, improve performance, and better understand how visitors use the platform.

If you have questions about how Puntr handles personal information more broadly, you may also review the site’s Puntr page alongside any applicable privacy materials available on the platform.

What Cookies Really Do Behind the Scenes

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognize your browser, remember certain settings, and support features such as logging in, site navigation, security checks, and preference saving.

Some cookies last only while your browser session is active. These are often called “session cookies.” Others remain on your device for a set period after you leave the site, and these are commonly known as “persistent cookies.”

Cookies can be set directly by Puntr, which are often called “first-party cookies,” or by outside providers that deliver services for the website, which are often called “third-party cookies.”

Why Puntr Uses Cookies

Puntr uses cookies to make the website function properly and to improve the user experience. Because the platform includes account features, contest entry flows, leaderboard tools, and payment-related actions, cookies can play an important role in keeping these systems working as expected.

Cookies may be used to maintain secure sessions, remember user settings, support site loading speed, measure traffic patterns, and help diagnose technical issues. They can also assist with fraud prevention, account protection, and the delivery of relevant content.

In some cases, cookies help Puntr understand which pages are useful, where users encounter errors, and how the platform can be improved for desktop and mobile browser visitors.

Essential Cookies That Keep the Site Running

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function. Without them, core parts of the Puntr platform may not work correctly.

These cookies may be used for tasks such as authenticating logins, maintaining account sessions, routing traffic, supporting page security, preventing suspicious activity, processing requests, and remembering privacy or cookie choices. Because these cookies are required for the operation of the site, they generally cannot be turned off through the website’s cookie tools.

If you block essential cookies through your browser, some services may become unavailable. For example, you may have trouble logging in, accessing secure account areas, or submitting contest entries.

Functional Cookies That Remember Your Preferences

Functional cookies allow Puntr to remember choices you make so the website can provide a more personalized experience. These cookies may store settings such as language, browser preferences, display options, dark mode selections, or other non-essential customizations.

They can also help the site remember details that make repeat visits smoother, such as previously used settings on prediction tools or other interface features. If these cookies are disabled, the site may still work, but some preferences may reset each time you visit.

Performance Cookies That Help Improve the Platform

Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. This may include which pages are visited most often, how users move through the site, how long pages take to load, and whether visitors encounter errors.

Puntr may use this information to improve platform speed, fix usability issues, refine leaderboard and contest interfaces, and optimize the site for different devices and browsers. These cookies usually collect aggregated or statistical information, but they may still be treated as personal data under applicable privacy laws when linked to a device or user.

Marketing Cookies and Advertising Technologies

Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, limit repetitive ad displays, and help show more relevant promotions or messages on Puntr or third-party platforms. These cookies can track browsing activity across websites over time, depending on how the related advertising tools are configured.

If Puntr uses marketing cookies, they may be placed by advertising partners, analytics providers, or social media and marketing platforms. Disabling these cookies does not necessarily reduce the number of ads you see, but it may make the ads less relevant to your interests.

Similar Technologies Beyond Standard Cookies

Puntr may also use similar technologies that work like cookies. These can include pixels, tags, local storage, software development tools, and session technologies that help monitor website functionality, improve user experience, and support analytics or security operations.

These tools may collect browser, device, and usage information such as IP address, device type, operating system, pages viewed, timestamps, referral URLs, and interaction patterns. When this information identifies or relates to an individual, Puntr treats it in line with applicable privacy requirements.

Third-Party Services That May Set Cookies

Puntr may rely on outside service providers to support hosting, analytics, security, payments, customer support tools, fraud detection, and website performance monitoring. These providers may place their own cookies or similar technologies when users interact with the site.

Examples of third-party functions may include audience measurement, page error monitoring, payment processing, embedded content, or support-related services. Depending on the tools Puntr uses from time to time, these providers may collect information directly from your browser under their own privacy practices.

Puntr does not necessarily control all third-party cookies once those tools are active. Users should review the privacy and cookie disclosures of relevant third-party services where appropriate.

How Consent Works on Puntr

Where required by applicable law, Puntr requests your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. This may happen through a cookie banner, pop-up, preference center, or similar notice when you first visit the site.

You may have the option to accept all cookies, reject certain categories, or customize your choices. Your preferences can typically be updated later through the site’s cookie settings, if available.

Essential cookies generally do not require opt-in consent because they are necessary for core site operation. However, Puntr may still inform you about them for transparency.

Your Cookie Choices and Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to block cookies, delete stored cookies, receive alerts before cookies are placed, or limit certain tracking technologies.

The exact steps depend on your browser, but cookie controls are commonly available in the privacy or security section of the browser settings menu. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to update your preferences on each one separately.

You can also clear cookies that have already been stored on your device. Doing so may sign you out of accounts, remove saved preferences, and reset parts of the browsing experience.

What Happens If You Disable Cookies

If you disable or delete cookies, some parts of the Puntr website may not function as intended. This can affect both convenience and core functionality.

For example, disabling cookies may interfere with account login sessions, secure navigation, contest entry flows, saved settings, fraud prevention checks, page load consistency, and personalization features. In some cases, users may need to re-enter information or reselect preferences during each visit.

Blocking all cookies may also make certain website sections unavailable or unstable, especially areas that rely on secure account recognition.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others stay on your device until they expire or are manually removed.

The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie. A session cookie may last only for your current visit, while a persistent cookie may remain for days, months, or longer unless you delete it earlier through your browser settings.

Data Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the type of cookie and how the site is configured, cookies may collect information such as:

Your browser type, device identifiers, IP address, operating system, general location data, session activity, page interactions, referring pages, and timestamps. They may also remember settings tied to your account or browser session.

In some cases, this information may be combined with other data Puntr holds about users, especially where needed for security, account access, analytics, compliance, or service improvement.

Children’s Privacy and Sensitive Use Cases

Puntr’s website and services are intended only for users who are legally permitted to access the platform under applicable laws and site rules. Cookies are not intended to knowingly collect information from children or from users who are not authorized to use the service.

If Puntr becomes aware that information has been collected in a way that violates applicable requirements, it may take steps to delete the data and restrict access as appropriate.

Policy Changes You Should Know About

Puntr may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, business practices, or website features. When updates are made, the revised version will be posted on this page with the latest effective date or publication date where applicable.

Your continued use of the site after an update may indicate acknowledgment of the revised policy, to the extent allowed by law. Users should review this page periodically to stay informed about how cookies are used.

As of July 28, 2026, this policy reflects Puntr’s current general approach to cookie use.
