Cookie Policy

This document sets out, in genuine detail, how this website – dedicated to Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus and the casinos where it can be played – makes use of cookies and comparable tracking technologies. Read it together with our Privacy Policy for the complete picture of how we handle data more broadly. Effective: June 2026.

// Cookies, Defined Properly

A cookie is a small data file that a website places on your device the moment you visit. Your browser holds onto that file and may return it to the same site during a later visit, which is the underlying mechanism that lets a website remember you have been there before, or recall a preference you previously set. Cookies are entirely passive in nature – they store information and do nothing else, and cannot run programs or transmit anything resembling malicious software. Alongside traditional cookies, we also make use of closely related technologies, including pixel tags and browser-based local storage, all of which fall under the general term “cookies” throughout this document unless we specifically indicate otherwise.

// The Four Distinct Categories We Rely On

Necessary cookies

Required for the basic functioning of the Site – covering navigation, fundamental security measures, and core display logic. These operate regardless of consent, since the Site simply cannot function without them, and cannot be disabled through our own preference tool.

Analytics cookies

Show us how visitors actually engage with our Gates of Olympus guides – including specific content covering the tumble feature and the free spins structure – tracking which pages prove popular, how much time visitors spend reading, and the paths they take through the Site. All of this is collected and reported in aggregated form that does not identify any individual visitor.

Affiliate tracking cookies

Set the moment you click a link to a casino platform offering Gates of Olympus, recording the fact that the click originated here, which is what lets us receive credit if you go on to register and deposit at that casino. These cookies track only a click and an associated timestamp – nothing capable of identifying you personally.

Preference cookies

Remember the cookie consent choices you have made, together with any display settings you have adjusted, so that the Site feels consistent across each visit you make.

// What Genuinely Happens When That Banner Appears

On your very first visit, you are shown a banner offering three options: accept everything classified as non-essential, reject everything non-essential, or open a detailed settings panel to make your selections category by category. Should you continue browsing without making an active choice, we set only strictly necessary cookies – we never interpret inaction or silence as consent for analytics or affiliate tracking purposes.

Whichever option you select gets stored in a dedicated preference cookie, which is precisely what stops that banner from reappearing on every single page you load afterward. Clear that cookie along with everything else stored on your device, and the banner will reappear on your next visit, simply because we no longer have any record whatsoever of the choice you made previously.

// Exactly What Is Running on This Site Right Now

The table that follows lists every single cookie currently active on this Site, identifying who sets it, precisely what it does, how long it remains active, and which category from Section 2 it belongs to. This list is actively maintained and gets revised whenever the tools we rely on change in any meaningful way.

Cookie Name Provider Purpose Duration Category
_ga Google Analytics Assigns a unique ID used to generate usage statistics. 2 years Analytics
_ga_* Google Analytics Keeps GA4 session data consistent across a visit. 2 years Analytics
_gid Google Analytics Distinguishes unique visitors within a 24-hour period. 24 hours Analytics

aff_source This Site Stores the referring page used for commission tracking. 30 days Affiliate
cc_prefs This Site Saves the specific cookie consent settings you select. 1 year Necessary
sid This Site Keeps your current browsing session active and functional. Session Necessary

This particular list stays current and gets updated as cookies are added to or removed from the Site over time.

// Where Third Parties Fit In

A number of the cookies operating on this Site originate from tools we have chosen to integrate, principally Google Analytics, which operates under its own separate privacy terms governing any data it processes (full detail at policies.google.com). We do not, under any circumstance, allow advertising networks or data brokers anywhere near this Site, and nothing deployed here exists to support retargeting you on other websites later.

The moment our affiliate cookie has done its job and you have moved on to an actual casino platform, our visibility into what happens next ends completely. We have no way of seeing whether you registered, deposited, or actually played anything – the only thing we eventually learn is whether a commission was credited to us, and that information arrives through the casino’s own separate affiliate reporting system, entirely apart from anything ever stored in your browser.

// Taking Real Control Over Your Cookies

A handful of distinct ways exist to manage what runs on your device: our on-site preference tool, which appears on your first visit and remains accessible at any later point through the cookie settings link; your browser’s own native settings, which let you block or delete cookies entirely at your discretion; and Google’s dedicated opt-out browser add-on, found at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, which stops Google Analytics tracking you across every website you visit, not merely this particular one.

Each major browser handles this slightly differently. In Chrome, the relevant path runs through Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, it runs through Settings, then Privacy & Security. In Safari, through Preferences, then Privacy. In Microsoft Edge, through Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.

Switching off non-essential cookies will not prevent you from reading anything published on this Site, though it may limit personalization and reduce our ability to attribute referrals accurately. Blocking absolutely everything at the browser level, necessary cookies included, can interfere with the operation of our own consent tool, sometimes producing a frustrating loop where the banner keeps reappearing because it has no way of remembering any choice you have already made.

// How Consent Works, and How to Take It Back

We request consent to non-essential cookies the first time you visit, and that consent operates on a category-by-category basis – you might accept analytics cookies while declining affiliate tracking cookies, or arrange your preferences the other way entirely, depending on the specific options our consent tool presents. You remain free to revise your choice at any later point through the on-site preference panel.

Withdrawing consent halts the placement of new non-essential cookies from that point forward, though it has no retroactive effect on processing that had already occurred while consent remained active. Should we ever introduce a genuinely new category of non-essential cookie, we will present an entirely fresh consent request rather than assuming that consent given previously for a different purpose somehow extends to cover it.

// Where Cookies Become Personal Data

Wherever a specific cookie ends up processing something that qualifies as personal data under applicable law, our Privacy Policy takes over and governs that processing in full – covering the legal basis relied upon, the retention period that applies, and the rights you hold as a result. Analytics cookies strip identifying detail from IP addresses before any storage takes place; affiliate cookies remain tied to a specific click event rather than to any identifiable person.

// “Do Not Track” Signals From Your Browser

Some browsers are capable of transmitting a “Do Not Track” signal to the websites you visit. No binding technical standard currently governs how a website ought to respond to that signal, and this particular Site does not presently change its behavior in response to it. The tools described in Section 6 above represent a considerably more dependable way to actually manage tracking here.

// When and How We Update This Policy

We review and revise this Policy as our own cookie practices continue to evolve, publishing whatever version is currently authoritative here, together with a freshly updated date.

// Getting in Touch

Any cookie-related question can be directed to us through the contact form on this Site, and we genuinely read through and respond to what arrives via that channel.
