Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Notice, which explains how we handle your personal data more generally, and our Terms & Conditions.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we place on your device. Cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of our website, which helps us give you a good experience while you browse and lets us improve the site.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons and pixels. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it covers those technologies too.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- keep you signed in and move you securely between pages of the site;
- remember your preferences, such as language, region and display settings;
- understand how the site is used, so we can fix problems and improve it;
- measure the performance of our advertising and show you content that is more relevant to you.
Categories of cookie we use
Strictly necessary
Essential for you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Blocking these will prevent registration and login, and will make some content and functions unavailable.
Performance
Collect information about how customers use the website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether any error messages appear. These cookies do not identify you; the information is aggregated and anonymous.
Functionality
Allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your username, language or region, and to provide enhanced, more personal features. They also remember changes you have made to text size and fonts. The information collected may be anonymised, and these cookies cannot track your browsing on other websites.
Targeting / advertising
Record your visit, the pages you have viewed, the games you have played and your general behaviour on the website. They are used to deliver adverts that are more relevant to you, to limit how often you see a particular advert, and to measure how well an advertising campaign performs. We may share this information with third parties who assist us with analytics.
How long cookies last
Session cookies are created temporarily while you visit the website. Once you leave the site or close your browser, the session cookie is deleted.
Persistent cookies remain on your device and are reactivated when you return to the website that set them. They expire after a period defined in the file, or you can remove them manually.
We use both session and persistent cookies.
Third-party cookies
Third parties may also set cookies through our site, and we do not control those cookies. They are usually performance or targeting cookies. Examples include:
- Game suppliers. We feature games provided by third parties, so you may receive a cookie from a supplier while playing their game.
- Analytics and advertising providers, including providers of web traffic analysis services.
- Social sharing tools. If you use a "Share" feature to post our content elsewhere, the receiving website may set its own cookies.
Because we do not control these cookies, we recommend checking the relevant third party's own policy for details of what they collect and how to manage it.
How to control cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. The help function in your browser will explain how. Most browsers also publish their own guides:
www.allaboutcookies.org offers general guidance on cookies and how to manage them.
Google Analytics provides its own opt-out tool at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you registering or logging in, and parts of the site will not work.
On some mobile devices you may need to consult the device's instruction manual to manage cookies effectively.
Personalised advertising on this site
We may show you on-site advertising based on information collected through cookies. You can choose not to receive personalised adverts from us: visit your account settings to change your advertising preferences. You will still see adverts, but they will not be tailored to your interests.
Changes to this policy
Any changes we make to this Cookie Policy will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email. Please check back from time to time to see any updates.
