Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on gamelyprog.com to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand where our visitors are coming from. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to site owners. Think of them as little notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits.
Most modern websites use cookies in some form. They can't harm your computer or files, but they do store data that helps create a better browsing experience for you.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies serve the same purpose. Here's how we categorize the different types used on our site:
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and form submissions. Without these, the site simply wouldn't work as intended.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices (like language settings or region) so you don't have to set them every time you visit. They make your experience more personalized and convenient.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. They tell us which pages are most popular, how long people stay, and where they might encounter issues. This information helps us improve the site over time.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing habits to deliver content and advertisements that might interest you. They also help us measure how effective our marketing campaigns are and refine our outreach strategies.
Specific Cookies in Use
Below is a breakdown of the actual cookies you might encounter on gamelyprog.com:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your session as you navigate through pages | Session |
| user_prefs | Stores your language and display preferences | 1 year |
| analytics_token | Tracks page views and user behavior for site improvement | 2 years |
| marketing_id | Identifies returning visitors for targeted content | 6 months |
| consent_status | Records your cookie preferences and consent choices | 1 year |
Why We Need Cookies
Cookies serve multiple purposes that benefit both you and us. They help us understand what's working and what needs improvement. For example, if we notice that people leave a particular page quickly, we can investigate and fix whatever might be causing confusion.
- Remember your login status so you don't have to sign in repeatedly
- Keep track of items in your inquiry or contact form as you browse
- Understand which content resonates most with our audience
- Identify technical issues that might affect user experience
- Personalize content based on your location and preferences
- Measure the effectiveness of our educational programs and outreach
Without this data, we'd be making decisions in the dark. Cookies give us visibility into how real people use our site, which directly informs how we improve it.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes we use services from other companies that set their own cookies. For instance, if we embed a video or use analytics tools, those providers might place cookies on your device. We don't control these third-party cookies, but we only work with reputable partners who respect user privacy.
Common third-party services we use include web analytics platforms and content delivery networks. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle cookie data.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control of how cookies are used on your device. Most browsers allow you to manage or block cookies through their settings. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies might affect how well the site functions.
Browser Settings
Here's how you can adjust cookie settings in popular browsers:
Each browser handles cookies a bit differently, but the general principle is the same. You can decide what level of tracking you're comfortable with and adjust accordingly.
Data Retention and Your Rights
We keep cookie data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the duration specified in the cookie details above.
You have the right to access information about what cookies have been set and to request deletion of cookie data associated with your browsing. You can also object to certain types of tracking or request that we limit how we use cookie data.
If you clear your browser cookies, any preferences you've set on our site will be reset. You'll need to configure your choices again the next time you visit.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do the tools we use to run our website. We review this cookie policy regularly and update it when needed. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when the most recent changes were made.
If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll notify you through a prominent notice on the site or via email if you've provided your contact information.
