You have control over which cookies are stored on your device when playing Sizzling Hot. You can manage your cookie settings through your browser settings or through our cookie preference centre, accessible from the game interface.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. The method for managing cookies varies depending on your browser. You can typically find cookie settings in the preferences or options menu of your browser under privacy or security sections. Disabling certain cookies may affect your ability to use some features of Sizzling Hot, particularly those requiring authentication or saved preferences.
