Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-14

BigQPlay uses cookies and browser storage to run the site and improve your experience. This page explains what each cookie does and how you can control them from the consent banner.

Categories we use

Essential — always on. These keep you signed in, remember your language, and defend against fraud. Turning them off would break the site.
Analytics — optional. Anonymised page views and game plays that help us understand what’s working.
Advertising — optional. Cookies from ad partners that let us fund the free games and, when enabled, personalise which ads you see.

Games from our partner GameMonetize

Some games on BigQPlay are supplied by our partner GameMonetize and run in a frame served from gamemonetize.co. These games show ads delivered by Google (Google Ad Manager) inside the game frame, so the GameMonetize game SDK and Google can set and read their own advertising cookies there — for example ogdpr_advertisement, ogdpr_tracking, __gads, __gpi and IDE (see the table below).

A partner game’s frame only loads after you press Play now; until then no request is sent to GameMonetize.
If you visit from the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we load these games only after you allow the Advertising category. If you withdraw that consent later, a running partner game is closed.
These cookies are controlled by GameMonetize and Google under their own policies: the GameMonetize privacy policy and how Google uses cookies in advertising.

Manage your preferences

You can change your choices at any time. Use the “Manage preferences” button below to reopen the consent modal.

The cookies

The table on this page lists every cookie by category, purpose and retention. Third-party cookies from the ad slots on our own pages appear only after you accept the “Advertising” category; partner game frames follow the rules in the GameMonetize section above.
