• Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the Platform to function. These cannot be disabled as they are required to maintain your login session, process transactions, and operate game software. No consent is required for these cookies under applicable Philippine guidelines;
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred game categories, and display settings to improve your experience on the phl788 platform;
• Analytical cookies: Collect anonymised or pseudonymised data about how users interact with the Platform (pages visited, time on page, error messages) to help us improve service quality and performance;

You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings or via the phl788 cookie preference centre. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform.

9. Marketing Communications

With your explicit consent provided at registration or in your account settings, phl788 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, special events, and platform updates via email or SMS to your registered Philippine mobile number.

You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by updating your notification preferences in Account Settings, by replying STOP to any SMS message, or by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect our right to send you transactional and service-related communications (such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts), which are sent on the basis of contractual necessity.
