What are cookies and why do we use them?

The technical nature of cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. These files contain a unique identification code that allows our systems to recognize your device during your current session or on a future visit. Technically, cookies enable websites to "remember" information, which is crucial for providing a seamless and interactive online environment.

Purposes of use

The primary purpose of using cookies on our website is to support the basic functions of the site. This includes maintaining secure sessions, remembering your language choice, and ensuring that the graphical elements of Gates of Olympus 1000 are displayed correctly on your screen. Additionally, cookies help us understand how users navigate our pages, allowing us to identify and resolve any technical bottlenecks.

Categorization of cookies used

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of the website. Without these technologies, essential services such as secure logins, fraud prevention, and page navigation would not function properly. As these cookies are necessary for the technical delivery of the requested service, they cannot be disabled via our preference settings. They do not collect information that can be used for marketing purposes.

Performance and analytical cookies

This category allows us to measure visitor traffic and its sources. The data collected by these cookies is fully aggregated and anonymous. They help us determine which parts of the website are most popular and how visitors move across the platform. In Switzerland, we use this information exclusively to improve the overall performance of the platform and tailor the content to the needs of the community.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable broader capabilities and personalization. For example, they can be used to remember settings you selected during a previous visit, such as your preferred region or display options. While these cookies are not strictly necessary for the site's functioning, they significantly improve usability by minimizing repetitive actions.

Advertising and targeting cookies (Limited use)

In some cases, we, or our partners, may use cookies to build a profile of your interests. This is done to show you more relevant content on other websites. We handle this very selectively and ensure that such activities always take place within the strict framework of Swiss privacy legislation. You have the option to refuse this specific type of tracking at any time.
