Cookies do not damage your hardware, cannot run executable programs, and cannot deliver viruses to your device.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies deployed across aviator-game-online.co.ke into four distinct operational tiers:

C. Analytics & Performance Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated technical information to help us optimize site layout, page speed, and content relevancy:
