Understanding the Cookies We Use

This is a quick, genuine rundown of how this website (the “Site”) – covering Gates of Olympus from Pragmatic Play and the casinos that offer it – uses cookies and similar tech. Pair it with our Privacy Policy for the fuller picture of how we handle data generally. We’ve laid this out to actually answer the questions people have – what these cookies do, how long they stick around, and what real control you have – rather than dumping a copy-paste legal block on you. Posted: June 2026.

// What a Cookie Even Is

A cookie is a tiny text file a website drops on your device when you visit. Your browser keeps hold of it and sends it back on later visits, which is how a site remembers you’ve been there before or recalls a preference you set previously. Cookies just store information – no programs running, no malware hiding inside, nothing beyond a small piece of data. We also use similar tech like pixel tags and local browser storage, all lumped under “cookies” in this Notice unless we say otherwise.

// The Four Types We Rely On

Necessary cookies

Keep the lights on – navigation, security, core display logic. No consent needed, can’t be switched off through our tool, though blocking them at the browser level can break things.

Analytics cookies

Show us how people use our Gates of Olympus content – what gets read about the tumble feature or free spins, how long people stick around, where they came from. All aggregated, nothing personal in any of it.

Affiliate tracking

Kick in when you click through to a casino offering Gates of Olympus, logging that the click started here so we get credit if it leads to a signup. Just a click and a timestamp, nothing more than that.

Preference cookies

Remember your cookie choices and display settings so the Site feels the same every time you’re back.

// What Happens When That Banner Pops Up

First visit, you get three choices: accept everything non-essential, reject everything non-essential, or dig into detailed settings category by category. Keep scrolling without picking one, and we only set the strictly necessary stuff – silence doesn’t count as a yes for analytics or affiliate tracking.

Whatever you pick gets saved in a preference cookie so the banner doesn’t hassle you every page load. Wipe that cookie, and we lose track of your choice, so the banner shows up again next time around.

// What's Actually Running Right Now

Here’s the full list – what each cookie is called, who sets it, what it does, how long it sticks around, and which category it fits. We keep this current as our toolkit changes.

Cookie Name Provider Purpose Duration Category
_ga Google Analytics Gives you a unique ID for usage stats. 2 years Analytics
_ga_* Google Analytics Keeps GA4 sessions consistent. 2 years Analytics
_gid Google Analytics Tells unique visitors apart over 24 hours. 24 hours Analytics
aff_click_id This Site Logs a click-through to a partner casino. 30 days Affiliate
aff_source This Site Remembers the referring page for commission credit. 30 days Affiliate
cc_prefs This Site Saves your cookie consent choices. 1 year Necessary
sid This Site Keeps your browsing session alive. Session Necessary

This list gets updated whenever something changes on our end.

// Cookies From Outside Providers

A few cookies here come from tools we’ve plugged in, mostly Google Analytics, which runs under its own privacy rules (policies.google.com). We don’t allow ad networks or data brokers anywhere near this Site, and nothing here is set up for retargeting you elsewhere afterward.

Once you click through to an actual casino, whatever cookies they set are entirely their business, governed by their own policies – not ours in any way.

What We Genuinely Can’t See After That

Worth being upfront about the limits here. We don’t have a dashboard, a log, or any technical way to see your account, your balance, or what you’re actually doing on a casino’s platform. The cookie’s job ends the moment you land there. Everything that happens afterward is invisible to us unless a commission report eventually comes back through the affiliate network.

// Taking Charge of Your Cookies

A few ways to handle this: our on-site preference tool, which shows up on your first visit and stays accessible afterward; your browser’s own cookie settings, letting you block or wipe things outright; or Google’s opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout if you’d rather not be tracked by Analytics anywhere online.

Each browser does this slightly differently – Chrome under Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data; Firefox under Settings → Privacy & Security; Safari under Preferences → Privacy; Edge under Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Turning off non-essential cookies won’t stop you reading anything here, though it might limit personalization and mess with how accurately we can credit referrals. Block everything, including the necessary stuff, and you risk the consent banner getting stuck in a loop, popping up every single visit.

If You Block Absolutely Everything

Blocking every cookie at the browser level, necessary ones too, can make parts of this Site act strangely. Even the consent tool needs a cookie to remember what you picked, so total blocking can leave that banner reappearing forever. Managing non-essential categories through our own preference panel usually works better than an all-or-nothing browser block, since it’s more precise and avoids those particular side effects.

// Giving (and Taking Back) Consent

We ask for consent the first time you show up, and it works category by category – say yes to analytics, no to affiliate tracking, or vice versa, whatever the tool offers. Change your mind whenever you like through the preference panel. Pulling consent stops new non-essential cookies going forward, but doesn’t undo anything already processed while consent was active.

If we ever add a genuinely new type of non-essential cookie down the line, we’ll ask again rather than assuming consent given for something else automatically covers it.

// Where Cookies Become Personal Data

If a cookie ends up processing something that counts as personal data, our Privacy Policy takes over from there – legal basis, retention, your rights, all of it. Analytics cookies strip identifying detail from IP addresses before storing anything; affiliate cookies track a click, not a person.

// “Do Not Track” Browser Signals

Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” signal. There’s no agreed standard for how sites should react to it, and we don’t currently change anything based on that signal. Section 6’s tools are the more reliable way to actually manage this.

// When We Update This

We revisit and revise this Notice as our cookie setup changes, posting whatever’s current here with a fresh date.
