6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

abd999 uses the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function correctly. These include session authentication cookies and security tokens. The Platform cannot operate without them.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language, currency display (BDT/৳), and notification settings to provide a more personalised experience.
• Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised, aggregated data about how players use the Platform, including pages visited, time on site, and navigation paths. This data is used solely to improve the abd999 user experience.
• Security cookies: Help detect and prevent fraudulent login attempts, identify unusual account activity, and protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from accessing core Platform functionality, including logging in to your abd999 account. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not affect your ability to play but may reduce the personalisation of your experience.

7 Data Retention & Storage

abd999 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active account data (identity, contact, gameplay records) is retained for the duration of your account registration and for a minimum of five (5) years following permanent account closure.
• Financial transaction records, including deposit and withdrawal histories, are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years in accordance with financial record-keeping obligations.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be associated with your identity. Where data is anonymised rather than deleted, it may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.
