WPT Global Cookie Policy in Philippines for Website Data and Preference Control

This page covers how WPT Global handles tracking technologies across its website and app for players in the Philippines. The service runs four categories: required, technical, functional, analytical, and marketing files – each pulling different data, from device identifiers and browser configurations through to user preferences and consent records.

WPT Global Required Cookies for Basic Site Operation

Required files sit at the core of data transfer between your browser and the platform’s servers, kicking in the moment you take any action – loading a page, submitting a form, moving between sections. Because these technical files keep WPT Global pages functional, they are treated as essential for access rather than optional tracking tools. The Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 doesn’t call for consent here, since these are the bare minimum for the service to work at all. No personal data gets collected through this category for profiling or ads.

ScopeCurrent domain only
Data typeNon-personal session identifiers
ActivationAutomatic on page load
DeletionAutomatic on browser close

This category skips the consent panel entirely – it runs the moment you open the site, no opt-in needed.

WPT Global Philippines Technical Cookies for Login and Account Use

Technical files shape how the website and app look and behave for players in the Philippines – everything from page layout across screen sizes to account creation steps, login sessions, and in-profile activity tracking. The 2024 National Information and Communications Technology Household Survey from the Philippine Statistics Authority puts mobile phone usage among internet users at 98.8%, so getting cross-device rendering right isn’t optional. Turn this category off and you lose login access along with account settings entirely.

WPT Global Functional Cookies for Preferences and Settings

Functional tracking on the platform is what keeps the service feeling the same each time you come back. Pick a display currency, set your interface language, tweak in-app options – those choices get saved and loaded automatically on every return visit. Republic Act No. 10173 puts these files in the opt-in bucket: they won’t land on your device until you actively approve them via the consent banner. Filipino players jumping between mobile data and home Wi-Fi get the most out of this layer, since it cuts out the need to reset preferences every time the connection changes.

Functional TypeEffect If Declined
Language preferenceInterface reverts to default language
Currency displayDefault currency shown regardless of location
Search historyPrevious in-app searches not retained
UI layout settingsDisplay configuration resets each session

Functional files sit in their own lane – tweaking consent here has zero knock-on effect for analytical or marketing categories in the preference panel.

WPT Global Analytical Cookies for Website Improvement

Analytical tracking hands the site hard numbers on how it actually gets used. The data covers viewed pages, referral paths, click sequences, scroll depth, and search terms from inside the poker client. Every bit of it goes through aggregation and anonymization under the National Privacy Commission’s personal data processing standards, which means no session trace can be pinned to a real account. Pull consent for this category any time – nothing on the platform stops working.

WPT Global Marketing Cookies and Browser Management Options

Marketing files let the platform and partner ad networks tailor promotions to your browsing patterns. What gets collected: IP addresses, device identifiers, browser type, and visit frequency. Third-party tags from ad networks can follow activity beyond the site’s domain, which puts this category under the tightest consent rules in both the Philippines Data Privacy Act and the ePrivacy Directive. Saying no to marketing tracking doesn’t touch your poker access – only whether promos are personalized to you.

To manage or disable these files on your device, follow the steps below.

  1. In Chrome: open Settings, select Privacy and Security, click Cookies and other site data, and choose your preferred level.
  2. In Safari on iPhone or iPad: go to Settings, tap Safari, scroll to Privacy and Security, and toggle the option.
  3. In Firefox: open Settings, select Privacy and Security, locate the Cookies and Site Data section, and set your blocking preference.
  4. In Internet Explorer: open Internet Options, click the Privacy tab, and use the slider to select your level.

Browser-level changes take priority over whatever’s saved in the consent banner for that category.

FAQ

What happens to my WPT Global cookie preferences if I clear my browser history?

Clearing browser history wipes all stored tracking data, consent decisions included. On your next visit the consent prompt comes back up, and you’ll need to go through functional, analytical, and marketing categories again.

Can WPT Global cookies track me across other websites I visit?

First-party files stay within the WPT Global domain – they don’t follow you anywhere else. Marketing tags dropped by third-party ad partners may pick up activity on other sites running the same ad infrastructure.

How often does WPT Global update its cookie list?

New features, tool changes, or shifts in requirements under the Philippines Data Privacy Act can all trigger an update to the platform’s tracking list. The safest approach: check this page any time a fresh consent prompt pops up during a WPT Global session.

Are WPT Global cookies safe for players using mobile wallets in the Philippines?

Tracking files have no connection to GCash, Maya, or any other mobile wallet. All collected data stays inside the platform’s own analytics environment and never reaches payment processors handling deposits or withdrawals.

What is the difference between session cookies and persistent cookies on WPT Global?

Session files clear out the moment you shut the browser. Persistent files stick around for a defined stretch and reload on your next WPT Global visit – keeping language picks and consent records in place so you’re not starting from scratch every time.
