Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how this website (the “Site”), which covers Gates of Olympus by Pragmatic Play and compares the casinos distributing it, uses cookies and similar browser-level technologies. Read it alongside the Privacy Policy for the complete data picture.

What cookies on this Site actually do: they keep the pages loading and functioning correctly; they tell us in aggregate which Gates of Olympus content gets genuine reader engagement; and they allow us to receive referral credit when a click from here leads to a casino registration. None of this requires identifying you personally, and the approach is built around that constraint.

Continuing to use the Site after the consent banner appears without adjusting settings means accepting non-essential cookies as described in this Policy. Necessary cookies run at all times because the Site cannot function without them.

// What a Cookie Is

A cookie is a small text file a website deposits on your device when you visit. Your browser stores it and may return it on later visits, allowing the site to recognize returning users or recall previously applied preferences. Cookies store data and do nothing else – they cannot execute programs, access other files on your device, or transmit malware.

Throughout this Policy, “cookies” also covers related technologies including browser local storage and pixel tags, unless the context requires a specific distinction.

// Categories We Use

Necessary. These maintain fundamental Site operation: navigation logic, basic security, and core display rendering. They are not subject to your consent and cannot be disabled through our preference tool. Blocking them at the browser level will interfere with how the Site works.

Analytics and performance. These tell us, in statistical and aggregate terms, how readers engage with our Gates of Olympus coverage: which pages about the tumble mechanic, multiplier symbols, Ante Bet, Buy Feature, and RTP configurations attract the most attention; how long visitors spend; and what external sources referred them here. No individual users are profiled; all data is aggregated across all visitors.

Affiliate tracking. These are set when you click through to a partner casino from this Site, recording that the referral originated here. Each cookie captures a single click event and the time it occurred. No personal identifying information is stored, and the cookie does not track any activity you undertake on the casino’s platform after leaving this Site.

Preference. These store your consent choices and any display settings you have applied so the Site behaves consistently across return visits.

How the Consent Banner Functions

Your first visit to this Site triggers a consent banner presenting three options: accept all non-essential cookies, decline all non-essential cookies, or open a detailed preferences panel where you can accept or decline each category individually. Continuing to browse without making a selection means only strictly necessary cookies are set. We do not treat inaction as consent for analytics or affiliate tracking purposes.

Your selection is stored in a preference cookie. Clear that cookie as part of clearing all cookies and the banner will reappear on your next visit, because the record of your previous choice has been removed. Any new category of non-essential cookie introduced in future will prompt a fresh consent request, regardless of prior choices.

This system functions as described. Declining a category genuinely prevents those cookies from being set on your device. It is not a display state change that leaves cookies operating in the background. The preference panel allows you to make category-level choices rather than being forced into accepting everything or nothing.

// Full Cookie Inventory

Every cookie currently active on this Site is listed in the table below. We maintain this inventory actively and update it whenever our use of third-party tools changes in a material way.

// Third-Party Cookies and Their Scope

Some cookies on this Site are set by integrated third-party tools, primarily Google Analytics operating under its own data processing terms. We do not permit advertising networks, retargeting services, or data brokers to place cookies on this Site. Nothing deployed here is used for behavioral advertising or cross-site user tracking of any kind.

Once an affiliate cookie is set and you navigate to a casino, our visibility into your activity ends entirely. We cannot see your Gates of Olympus sessions, your spin outcomes, your tumble chain results, your Ante Bet or Buy Feature use, or any aspect of your account. The only signal we eventually receive is whether a commission was credited by the casino’s own affiliate reporting system, and that report carries no personal data about you individually.

No live data connection exists between this Site and any casino platform. The affiliate cookie records one event: a click that originated from this Site. After that, all activity – including every spin, every tumble sequence, every multiplier symbol event during the free spins round – is on the casino’s infrastructure and completely inaccessible to us.

The Limits of What We Can See

Readers sometimes contact us with questions about specific session outcomes, particular multiplier symbol combinations, or the RTP configuration their casino is running. We have no means of answering these questions from our end. The affiliate cookie records a click. Our data visibility stops there. For any session-specific question, the casino that ran that session is the correct contact.

// Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Three routes are available. First, our on-site preference tool, which appears on your first visit and is accessible at any time through the cookie settings link in the Site footer. Second, your browser’s own native privacy controls. Third, for Google Analytics specifically, Google’s dedicated opt-out browser extension available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Browser paths:

  • Chrome → Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox → Settings > Privacy & Security
  • Safari → Preferences > Privacy
  • Microsoft Edge → Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Disabling non-essential cookies does not prevent you from accessing any Gates of Olympus content on this Site. It may affect some display personalization and will prevent us from attributing a casino referral to this Site if you later register at a partner platform. We accept this as the appropriate consequence of respecting your preferences.

Blocking Necessary Cookies

Blocking all cookies at the browser level, including strictly necessary ones, can disrupt the consent tool itself, which relies on a preference cookie to remember your prior decision. This typically creates a loop where the consent banner reappears on every page. Using the on-site preference panel for granular category-level management avoids this problem while still giving you meaningful control over non-essential cookies.

// Consent and Withdrawal

Consent on this Site operates at the individual category level rather than as an all-or-nothing switch. You can accept analytics cookies while declining affiliate tracking, or any other combination the preference panel supports. Withdraw consent for any category at any time through the preference panel; withdrawal takes effect immediately for new cookies going forward and does not retroactively affect processing that occurred while consent was active.

// Cookies and Personal Data

Where a cookie on this Site processes information that qualifies as personal data under applicable law, our Privacy Policy governs that processing, including the applicable legal basis, the retention period, and the rights available to you. Analytics cookies in our configuration anonymize IP addresses before any data is stored. Affiliate tracking cookies capture click events and timestamps and do not identify the individual who clicked.

// Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a Do Not Track signal to websites they connect to. There is currently no binding legal standard or agreed technical specification that determines how websites must respond, and this Site does not presently alter its behavior in response to that signal. The controls described in Section 6 provide more specific and actionable management.

// Updates

We revise this Policy when our cookie practices change. The current version is always published here with a new effective date. We also review our third-party tool relationships periodically; if a provider changes how it processes data, we reassess the arrangement and update this Policy accordingly.
