Cookies Notice
Most of this update is cosmetic: headings were reformatted, a broken link domain was fixed, 'tasks' became 'jobs', and 'X' was changed back to 'Twitter'. A new customer-service email contact was also added, which is a small improvement. However, buried in the same edit to the final section, partypoker deleted its promise to actively alert you to policy changes via a cookie banner or pop-up — the notice now only says changes will be posted on the page and that you should check back yourself, shifting the burden of staying informed onto you.
Company drops its promise to actively alert you to cookie policy changes
Before, the company promised two things when it changed this cookie notice: posting the update on the page AND actively flagging it to you by updating the cookie banner or pop-up you see when you visit the site. The second promise is now gone. The notice only says changes will be posted on the page and that you should 'check back frequently' to catch them yourself. This moves the responsibility for noticing changes from the company onto you, making it easier for changes to slip past you unnoticed.
“We will also bring your attention to such changes by updating our cookie banner/ pop-up.”
What you can do — There's no sign-up or opt-out needed now, but since the company no longer promises a pop-up alert, periodically revisit this cookies page yourself to check for updates rather than relying on being notified.

CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE NOTICE
Any changes to this cookie notice in the future will be posted on this page and we will take all measures necessary to communicate any changes to this cookie notice to you. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to this Policy.
Minor wording change in the sentence asking you to check back for updates. No change in substance beyond what's covered in the banner-notification removal above.
This policy was last reviewed and updated: 21/10/2024
The version label at the bottom changed from 'Version November 2025' to a 'last reviewed and updated' date of 21/10/2024, an earlier date than what the prior version displayed. This doesn't change your rights, but it's an odd inconsistency worth noting since it makes it unclear how current the document actually is.
ALSO IN THIS CHANGE, NOT TIED TO ONE PASSAGE
- ± CHANGEDHeadings reformatted
Section headings were changed from bold text to markdown heading style. This is just a visual/formatting change and doesn't affect what the policy says.
**INFORMATION ABOUT OUR USE OF COOKIES**
## INFORMATION ABOUT OUR USE OF COOKIES
- ± CHANGEDPrivacy notice link domain corrected
The link to the privacy notice was updated from a '.de' domain to a '.com' domain. This looks like a broken-link fix, not a change in content.
