8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

8.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit j18800. They help the Platform function correctly, remember your preferences and provide analytics data about how users interact with the site.

8.2 Types of Cookies Used

• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options to improve your experience.
• Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about page views, traffic sources and user behaviour to help us improve the Platform.
• Marketing cookies: Used only where you have provided consent, to deliver relevant promotional content. These can be disabled at any time.

8.3 Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will impair Platform functionality. Detailed instructions for managing cookies in major browsers are available through your browser's help documentation.

9. Data Retention

j18800 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory or licensing obligations. The following general retention guidelines apply:

• Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum period following account closure as required by AML and licensing regulations — typically five years or as otherwise mandated by the Operator's licensing jurisdiction.

Upon expiry of applicable retention periods, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents reconstruction.

• Secure storage practices with encryption at rest where applicable
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring
• Staff training on data protection and information security obligations

While j18800 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Platform at your own risk in this respect. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials.

j18800 may transfer your personal data to countries outside Pakistan in connection with the services provided by the Operator and its third-party processors. Where such transfers occur, j18800 takes steps to ensure that adequate protections are in place — including contractual safeguards consistent with the requirements of the Operator's licensing jurisdiction.
