Key facts and contents

- Hawkplay iOS Version
- Open Settings, then General, then Software Update to see the iOS you run.
Playing the lobby in your phone’s browser needs three site settings in order, and none involves a file. Pop-ups, notifications and cookies decide whether a session stays clean or fills with prompts. This page gives the exact taps for Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone, and it sits with the antivirus page on phone safety, where the case for the browser is made.
The lobby loads at wwww.hawkplay.com, the host that hawkplay.com forwards to, so every setting below applies to that address once you have typed it yourself.
Chrome site settings on Android
Chrome keeps all per-site controls under one menu. Open it like this.
- Open Chrome and tap More at the top right.
- Tap Settings, then Site settings.
- Pick a category: Pop-ups and redirects, Notifications, or cookie controls.
- For a single website, open the site, tap Page info beside the address bar, then Permissions.
Safari site settings on iPhone
Safari’s switches live in the Settings app, not in the browser.
- Open Settings and tap Apps.
- Tap Safari.
- Turn on Block Pop-ups.
- Tap Advanced to reach the cookie switch.
Pop-ups and redirects
Chrome blocks pop-ups by default and marks the address bar “Pop-up blocked” when it stops one. Google adds that not every pop-up is an ad: some genuine sites show content in pop-up windows, and you can tap Always show for one page without changing the global rule.
| Browser | Where the switch is | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome, Android | More, Settings, Site settings, Pop-ups and redirects | Off blocks pop-ups and redirects |
| Safari, iPhone | Settings, Apps, Safari, Block Pop-ups | On blocks pop-ups |
If pop-ups keep coming after you block them, Google’s page names two causes: a notification subscription you gave earlier, or malware on the device. The first is a setting; the second is covered on the antivirus page’s malware signs.
Notifications
By default Chrome alerts you whenever a website wants to send notifications, and you can change that at any time. Open Site settings, then Notifications, and use the switch at the top. To allow quieter prompts, tap Use quieter messaging: a site can still ask, but no pop-up shows, and you only see a message under the address bar.
For one site, open it, tap Page info, then Permissions, then Notifications, and choose Allow or Block. Chrome may also remove a site’s permission on its own if you have not visited in a while, and it tells you.
On iPhone, Apple’s notification page covers notifications for an app rather than a website. Swipe left over an alert, tap Options and choose Mute for 1 Hour, Mute for Today, View Settings or Turn Off.
Cookies and site data
Cookies are files created by the sites you visit. Chrome says sites use them to keep you signed in, remember preferences and give locally relevant content. There are two types: first-party, created by the site in the address bar, and third-party, created by other sites whose content the page embeds.
| Task | Chrome on Android | Safari on iPhone |
|---|---|---|
| See or change the cookie rule | Site settings, Third-party cookies | Settings, Apps, Safari, Advanced |
| Delete one site’s cookies | Page info, Cookies and site data, Delete | Not covered on the saved Apple page |
| Allow cookies | Allow third-party cookies, or add a site exception | Turn off Block All Cookies |
Google warns that deleting cookies can sign you out of sites that remember you, and that blocking cookies can stop sites working as you expect. Turn them back on before you decide a login is broken.
Settings that depend on your phone version
Menu names move between versions. If your Chrome menu reads Permissions where this page says Site settings, or your Safari menu is laid out differently, check your system number first. The Android version steps for Settings and the iPhone iOS version check show how to read it.
FAQ
Where are site settings in Chrome on Android?
Open Chrome, tap More at the top right, tap Settings, then Site settings. From there you reach Pop-ups and redirects, Notifications and cookie controls. For one website, tap Page info beside the address bar, then Permissions.
How do I block pop-ups in Safari on iPhone?
Open the Settings app, tap Apps, tap Safari and turn on Block Pop-ups. Apple's guide lists exactly those three steps.
Do I need to allow cookies to log in to a casino lobby?
Chrome's help page says sites use cookies to keep you signed in and to remember preferences, and that blocking them can stop sites working as you expect. If a login keeps sending you back to the form, check that cookies are allowed for that site.
Should I allow notifications from a casino site?
You do not need to. Chrome alerts you whenever a site wants to send notifications and lets you change the choice at any time, per site or for all sites. Blocking them keeps promotions and reminders off your lock screen.
Paano i-clear ang cookies ng isang website lang?
In Chrome on Android, open the site, tap Page info beside the address bar, tap Cookies and site data, then tap Delete next to the stored data. Only that site's data goes, and you may be signed out of it.
