1 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that a website stores on your computer or phone. Each file carries a unique ID that lets the site recognise your browser when you return.
2 Why We Use Them
Cookies allow us to:
- Remember you – keep you signed in and preserve your preferences.
- Improve performance – learn how visitors navigate so pages load faster.
- Personalise content & ads – show recommendations and advertising that match your interests.
3 Types of Cookies We Set
Category | What They Do |
---|---|
Strictly Necessary | Enable core features such as secure login and account areas. Without them, the site won’t work properly. |
Performance | Collect anonymous analytics (e.g., pages viewed, log-in status) so we can reduce server load, fix bugs, and test new features. |
Functionality | Remember how you customise the site—toolbar positions, edits made while logged out, and other settings. These do not track you across other sites. |
Targeting | Work with our partners to deliver ads relevant to your interests and measure campaign results. They may recognise your device on other sites. |
4 First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies
- First-party cookies are placed by Games to run essential features such as secure sign-in.
- Third-party cookies come from trusted partners:
- Google Analytics – provides aggregated traffic stats (your IP is truncated). Opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google AdSense / DoubleClick – displays ads tailored to your browsing, or simply to page content in certain regions. Details: policies.google.com/technologies/ads
5 Cookie Lifespan
- Session cookies vanish when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay until their expiry date or until you delete them.
