Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pistolo uses cookies and similar technologies on pistolofficial.com. It describes what cookies are, why they may be used, the types of cookies that can appear on the website and the choices available to users.

By continuing to use pistolofficial.com, you may allow cookies to be stored on your device where this is permitted by applicable law and according to the preferences selected through the available cookie controls.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can place on a user’s browser or device. They help websites remember information about a visit, maintain sessions, improve functionality and understand how pages are used.

Some cookies remain only for the duration of a browsing session, while others can stay on the device for a longer period unless they are deleted manually or expire automatically.

Cookies may be used for purposes such as:

Keeping users signed in to their account
Remembering language, currency or interface preferences
Maintaining secure browsing sessions
Supporting account and website functionality
Understanding how visitors use different sections of the website
Measuring website performance
Identifying technical problems
Improving navigation and page usability
Supporting promotional and marketing functionality where permitted

Types of Cookies Used on pistolofficial.com

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support core website functions and may be required for pistolofficial.com to operate correctly.

These cookies can be used for functions such as account login, session management, security protection, fraud prevention and maintaining user selections during navigation.

Because these cookies are required for essential website functionality, disabling them may prevent certain parts of Pistolo from working properly.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies can be used to remember choices previously made by a user. This helps make future visits more convenient and reduces the need to select the same options repeatedly.

Examples may include:

Preferred language
Selected currency
Regional settings
Display preferences
Previously selected website options

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies may help Pistolo understand how users interact with pistolofficial.com. Information collected through these technologies can be used to evaluate website traffic, navigation patterns and technical performance.

This may include information about:

Pages visited
Time spent on particular pages
Navigation between website sections
Browser and device type
General website performance
Technical errors or failed page loads

Where possible, this information may be used in aggregated form to improve the website and identify areas requiring optimisation.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies support optional website features that are not strictly required for basic operation but can improve convenience and usability.

These cookies may help remember specific interface choices, support embedded website features or maintain settings connected with certain account functions.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Where permitted, marketing cookies may be used to help deliver promotional content, measure campaign performance and reduce the display of repetitive advertisements.

These technologies may also be used to understand whether a visitor reached pistolofficial.com through a particular marketing or affiliate campaign.

Marketing cookies that require consent will be used only where the required permission has been provided.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Pistolo may use both session cookies and persistent cookies.

Session cookies normally remain active only while the browser is open and are deleted after the browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies may remain stored on the device for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.

The lifespan of an individual cookie depends on its purpose and configuration.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly by pistolofficial.com and are generally used to support website functionality, account sessions, preferences and performance.

These cookies are controlled through the Pistolo website environment and are used in connection with services provided directly through the platform.

Third-Party Cookies

Some features available on pistolofficial.com may involve services provided by third parties. These providers may place or access cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Third-party services may include:

Payment providers
Website analytics services
Security and fraud-prevention services
Customer support tools
Advertising or marketing platforms
Embedded technical services

Pistolo does not control the internal cookie practices of independently operated third-party services. Users should review the privacy or cookie information provided by the relevant third party where additional details are required.

Cookies and Account Security

Certain cookies may be used to help maintain secure sessions and identify potentially unusual activity. These technologies can support login protection and help reduce the risk of unauthorised access.

Users should avoid sharing account credentials and should sign out after using Pistolo on a shared or public device.

Cookies Used for Login Sessions

When a user signs in to Pistolo, cookies may be used to maintain the authenticated session while the user moves between pages.

If these cookies are deleted or blocked, the user may be required to log in again or certain account functions may become unavailable.

Cookies and Language Preferences

pistolofficial.com may use cookies to remember language or regional preferences selected by the user.

This can help ensure that the appropriate version of the website or selected interface option is displayed during future visits.

Cookies and Promotional Tracking

Where promotional or affiliate tracking is used, cookies may help identify the source through which a user reached pistolofficial.com.

This information can be used to measure campaign performance, attribute registrations correctly or determine whether a particular promotion is applicable.

Such tracking does not automatically mean that personally identifiable information is shared with advertising partners.

Managing Cookie Preferences

Users may be able to control optional cookies through a cookie consent or preference tool available on pistolofficial.com.

Where such controls are provided, users can choose which non-essential cookie categories they wish to allow.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for the website to function correctly.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern browsers provide settings that allow users to review, block or delete cookies.

Browser settings can generally be used to:

View stored cookies
Delete existing cookies
Block all cookies
Block third-party cookies
Allow cookies only from selected websites
Remove cookies automatically when the browser closes

The exact procedure depends on the browser and device being used.

What Happens If Cookies Are Disabled?

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the operation of pistolofficial.com.

Depending on which cookies are disabled, users may experience issues such as:

Repeated login requests
Loss of saved website preferences
Reduced functionality in certain account sections
Incorrect language or regional settings
Difficulty completing certain website actions

Disabling non-essential analytics or marketing cookies should not normally prevent basic website access, but some optional functionality may become limited.

Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, Pistolo or its service providers may use similar technologies where appropriate.

These may include local storage, pixels, tags, browser storage or other technologies that perform functions comparable to cookies.

References to cookies in this policy should therefore be understood to include similar technologies where relevant.

Cookie Data and Personal Information

Information collected through cookies may sometimes be associated with account or technical information, such as an IP address, browser identifier or session ID.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, it is handled in accordance with the Pistolo Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.

Cookie Retention

The period for which a cookie remains stored depends on its purpose.

Some cookies expire when the browser is closed, while others may remain for a defined period to remember preferences, maintain security functions or provide analytics information.

Cookies may also be deleted earlier if a user removes them through browser settings or changes the relevant consent preferences.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

Pistolo may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, cookie technologies, service providers or applicable requirements change.

The latest version will be published on pistolofficial.com. Users are encouraged to review this page periodically to stay informed about how cookies are used.
