Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They contain information about your browsing activity and are commonly used to remember your preferences and improve user experience. When you revisit the website, the cookie is sent back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and provide personalized content.
Cookies are different from other types of tracking technology and are generally considered safe and non-harmful. However, they do collect data about your browsing habits. You have full control over cookies through your browser settings and can choose to disable them at any time.
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of SilverOakManor. Without them, certain features would not work properly. Essential cookies enable you to log in, maintain your session, and keep your account secure. We cannot disable these cookies as the Service requires them to function.
Examples: Session cookies, authentication tokens, security cookies, load balancing cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how players use SilverOakManor, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long users stay on pages, and how users navigate between pages. This information helps us improve the platform, fix bugs, and enhance features. Analytics cookies are provided by third-party services such as Google Analytics.
Examples: Tracking user behavior, measuring page performance, identifying technical issues
Preference cookies remember your choices and settings when you use SilverOakManor, such as your language preference, display settings, notification preferences, and other customizations. These cookies enhance your user experience by allowing the site to remember your preferences on future visits.

Marketing cookies track your interactions with our site to deliver targeted advertisements and promotional content.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent SilverOakManor from functioning properly. Analytics and marketing cookies can typically be disabled without affecting core functionality.
In addition to cookies we set directly, third-party service providers may set their own cookies when you use SilverOakManor. These third-party cookies are subject to their own privacy policies. We have no control over third-party cookies, but we carefully select service providers to ensure they maintain appropriate data protection standards.
Third-party services that may set cookies include: Google Analytics, Facebook, and other advertising networks.
Some browsers include a Do Not Track (DNT) feature. When you enable DNT, your browser sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track your activity. SilverOakManor respects DNT signals and will limit tracking on users who have DNT enabled, except for essential functionality required to operate the Service.
