8. How Long We Keep Your Data
DK999 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, plus any additional period required by applicable legal, regulatory or audit obligations.

Where deletion is not technically possible within standard operational systems, dk999 will anonymise the data so that it can no longer be attributed to you as an individual.
9. Cookies and Similar Technologies
DK999 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform to ensure it works properly, to remember your preferences and to understand how Pakistani players are using the site. Below is a plain-language breakdown of the cookies we use and why.
Essential Cookies Required
These cookies are necessary for the dk999 platform to function. They handle session management, login state, and security features such as CSRF protection. Without these cookies the platform simply cannot operate. They cannot be disabled.
Performance & Analytics Cookies Optional
These cookies collect anonymous information about how players use dk999 – which pages are visited most, where errors occur, and how long sessions last. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual players. It helps us improve the platform. You can opt out of these from your account settings.
Preference Cookies Optional
These cookies remember your preferences – such as your preferred language, game display settings and notification preferences – so you do not have to reconfigure them every time you log into dk999. Disabling these means your preferences will not be saved between sessions.
Marketing Cookies Optional
If you have opted in to receive promotional communications, marketing cookies help dk999 understand which offers are relevant to you and track whether promotional campaigns are effective. You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time without affecting your ability to use the platform.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your dk999 account settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly.
