82 Lottery - Cookie Policy
Read the 82 Lottery cookie policy: the cookies this site uses, why we use them, and how you can manage, disable, or clear cookies in your browser at any time.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device, desktop, smartphone, or tablet, when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and keep your session active. Unlike passwords or payment credentials, cookies do not execute code; they simply store a short string of text that the website reads on subsequent page loads.
Cookies are classified by origin and lifespan. First-party cookies are set directly by 82 Lottery (82lotteryofficial.in.net) to make core features work. Third-party cookies are set by integrated external services, such as analytics providers, to support site performance and measurement. Payment processors such as PhonePe, Google Pay (GPay), and BHIM UPI operate on the 82 Lottery operator's platform, not on this independent informational site; any payment-related cookies they set appear on the operator's domain, not here. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, allowing us to recognise you on your next visit without requiring you to sign in again.
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements because the website cannot function without them. All other cookie categories, functional, analytics, and targeting, require your informed agreement, which you provide via our cookie consent banner on your first visit.
How we use cookies
82 Lottery uses cookies for four primary purposes. First, authentication and security: when you log in to your 82 Lottery account, a session cookie authenticates your identity across every page so you do not need to re-enter your credentials on each click. This cookie also carries a security token that guards against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Second, platform payment processing (on the 82 Lottery operator's domain): when you use the 82 Lottery platform to deposit or withdraw funds via PhonePe, GPay, or BHIM UPI, those payment gateways may set short-lived cookies on the operator's own website. This independent informational site does not process financial transactions and does not itself set or receive payment-gateway cookies.
Third, performance and analytics: we use anonymised analytics cookies to understand which lottery games attract the most players, how long users spend on results pages, and where technical errors occur. This aggregated data drives product improvements without identifying you personally. Fourth, personalisation: functional cookies store your preferred language, currency display, and notification settings so the interface loads exactly as you configured it on every return visit.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles sold to third-party marketers, nor do we share cookie-derived data beyond what is strictly necessary to operate the payment and analytics services described in our Privacy Policy.
