Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Card Rush ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our services (collectively, the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Card Rush) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Service and the purposes they perform are described below:

• Opt-out links: Some third-party advertising networks provide opt-out mechanisms, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA), or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI).

Please note that essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with our Service.
