Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Pick N Win Competitions Limited uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies on picknwincompetitions.com, and what choices you have.
Browser Storage
3.1 In addition to cookies, the Website uses browser storage to keep account pages working smoothly. This is distinct from cookies but serves similar functions. The following items may be stored:
| Key | Storage | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pnw_auth_user_cache | Local storage | Caches your account profile locally so the app can restore your signed-in view quickly. This can include account identifiers, name, email, date of birth, phone number, verification status, preferences, tier, and account statistics. Cleared on logout. | Until logout or browser clearing | Strictly necessary |
| pnw_cookie_consent | Local storage | Stores your response to this cookie notice so the banner does not reappear on every visit. | Until cleared or policy version changes | Strictly necessary |
| pnw_social_prefill | Session storage | Temporarily stores profile details returned by a social sign-in provider, such as name, email, photo URL, and provider, so you can complete your account profile. | Until profile completion, tab close, or clearing | Strictly necessary |
| pnw_intended_destination | Session storage | Stores the page you were trying to reach so the Website can return you there after profile or account steps are completed. | Up to 24 hours or until used | Strictly necessary |
| pnw_intended_destination_set_at | Session storage | Stores the timestamp for the intended destination so stale redirects can be ignored. | Up to 24 hours or until used | Strictly necessary |
3.2Firebase Authentication (our login infrastructure, provided by Google) also stores your authentication token in your browser's IndexedDB to maintain your logged-in state between visits. This data is strictly necessary for the login system to function and is cleared when you log out.
3.3 Some browser or device settings may block local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. If that happens, login, profile completion, verification, or protected account pages may not work as expected.
