III. Overview of Data Processing Techniques

Our services utilize what are known as cookies, which are essentially small text files or pixels stored on a user's display device. These technologies are employed to gather specific user preferences and technical details that can help identify a user. In this context, any device identifiers or similar mechanisms are also referred to as "cookies" if they fulfill the same function. Our use of cookies is aimed at enhancing the user-friendliness of our services. Certain features of our services necessitate the ability to identify users. We also deploy cookies for analyzing user behavior and for directing targeted advertising. These cookies reside on the user’s device.

Cookies can be either permanent, remaining on your device for an extended period, or session-based, which are temporarily stored and removed following the service's usage.

Our cookies fall into four categories: essential, functional, performance, and marketing. Your device will only store cookies with your consent, except for those deemed essential. It's important to note that refusing cookies may lead to diminished functionality of our website.

• Essential cookies are pivotal for our services' operation. Their absence could lead to the unavailability of certain services or features or may result in improper service presentation.
• Functional cookies allow us to remember your preferences for enhanced and tailored features like service personalization, inquiry recognition, or other service requests, ultimately elevating your service experience.
• Performance cookies, or analytics cookies, gather data on how you use our services, helping us to boost their functionality. These cookies enable us to identify the most frequented pages, understand our services' overall usage patterns, highlight any service usage issues, and assess the effectiveness of our advertisements.
• Marketing cookies are utilized by us and our partners to deliver promotions more aligned with your interests and preferences. These cookies help in limiting repetitive advertisement exposure during our services, and in gauging or boosting the efficiency of our marketing endeavors. They record activities such as the actions taken in a game or which advertisement led you to our game. This data is shared with advertising clients on a pseudonymous basis. Advertisement displays contribute to our service operations and their ongoing development.

Additionally, cookies assist in counting occurrences like registrations or purchases, information which is then shared with marketing partners for optimization and/or billing purposes.

Upon using our services, users are informed about our cookie policy. Should a user prefer not to have cookies stored on their device, wish to remove an existing cookie, or want to be notified about cookie storage, they can adjust their device settings accordingly. Specific instructions can be found in the browser or device's help section.

Please be aware that disabling cookies may restrict full access to our services' functionalities. Also, third-party services accessed through ours may use cookies, over which we have no control. We advise reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties

IV. Foundations for Data Processing

The justification for processing personal information through the use of cookies is based on Art 6.1.a of the GDPR, Article 5 of the EU ePrivacy Directive, and Section 25 of the TTDSG (Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act).

V. Objectives of Data Processing

The utilization of technically essential cookies aims at facilitating user navigation. Certain functionalities of our platform can't be offered without these cookies. The information collected through such essential cookies isn't employed for generating user profiles. On the other hand, analytical cookies are deployed with the goal of enhancing the quality and content of our services. Through the use of these analytical tools, we gain insights into service usage, enabling continuous refinement of our offerings. The processing of personal data through these necessary cookies is justified under the applicable laws as they serve critical objectives. Furthermore, our interest lies in promoting our services and attracting new clients through targeted advertising, carried out by our advertising partners with your consent, in line with Art 6.1.a of the GDPR, Article 5 of the EU Privacy Directive, and Section 24 of the TTDSG.

VI. Lifespan of Cookies

We utilize two primary categories of cookies: session and persistent. Session cookies are temporary, only residing on your computer or device from the moment you access our site until you exit your browser or application - at which point they are removed. Conversely, persistent cookies stay on your device until they are either manually deleted or reach their designated expiration date, activating with each visit to our site.

VII. Rights to Objection and Deletion

Since cookies are stored and transmitted from your device, you, as the user, maintain complete control over their utilization. By adjusting your internet browser or mobile device settings, you can disable or restrict cookie transmission. Any cookies stored previously can be deleted at any time, a process that can be set to happen automatically. Should cookies be disabled, it might result in the inability to fully leverage all functionalities of our services.

VIII. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Cookie Policy as needed, without prior notice. The 'last updated' date at the top of this document will be adjusted to reflect any changes made. Such amendments will become applicable to you and your data from the revised date onwards. We recommend periodically reviewing this document. In case of discrepancies between the current version of this Cookie Policy and earlier editions, the most recent terms will take precedence, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
