What are cookies?

Don’t be afraid of cookies. It is actually a small text file. A website sends them to your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet). This allows the site to “remember” information about you – your settings, actions on the site, and the device you use.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixel tags, or web beacons, work on a similar principle. They allow collecting data for analytics, advertising, and ensuring the correct operation of the website.

Types of cookies

There are several types of cookies depending on their functions and storage duration:

1. Session cookies – valid only during the session on the website. They are automatically deleted when you close the browser.
2. Persistent cookies – are stored on your device for a certain period of time, even after the session is over. They are used to save your settings for future visits.
3. First-party cookies – are created directly by the By-Gamers website and are used to ensure its functionality.
4. Third-party cookies – are set by other organizations, such as analytical services or advertising networks that work with our website.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies are necessary for the correct operation of the website and the convenience of our readers. Here are the main purposes for which we use them:

1. Basic website functions. These files ensure the stable operation of the platform. They allow you to save your settings and maintain security, in particular during authorization.
2. Improving the comfort of the visitor. Cookies help us remember your preferences, such as the last pages you viewed. This is how we improve the convenience of using the site.

How do we work with third parties?

The By-Gamers platform cooperates with reliable partners such as analytics companies (e.g. Google Analytics) and advertising networks. These organizations use cookies to collect data on the effectiveness of advertising or to analyze user interaction with content.

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend that you read their privacy policies on their respective websites.

How long do we store data?

The duration of cookie storage depends on the type of cookie. Session cookies are valid only during your visit to the website and are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies can remain on your device for several days to several years, depending on their purpose.

How do I manage my cookies?

We are committed to giving you control over how your data is collected and used. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. In your browser settings, you can activate the function of blocking third-party files or restrict the use of certain types of files.

What happens if you disable cookies
