How Long Cookies Last
The duration for which a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and typically expire as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device for a set period, which can range from a few minutes to several years, or until you manually delete them.
At Gates of Olympus, we use both types of cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are essential for maintaining your login session and enabling core site functionalities during your visit. They are deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These are used to remember your preferences, analyse site usage, and support our marketing efforts. Their lifespan varies depending on their purpose, but they are designed to enhance your experience over multiple visits to Gates of Olympus.
The expiry of persistent cookies is determined by their specific function. For instance, a cookie remembering your language preference might last for a year, while an advertising cookie might last for 30 days. We store cookies only for as long as necessary to fulfil their intended purpose, in compliance with data protection regulations.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting the settings in your web browser. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you choose to block all cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our website, and some functionalities of Gates of Olympus may not work as intended.
You can typically manage cookies in these ways:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies and to delete cookies already stored on your device. The methods for doing this vary from browser to browser, so you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. For example, in Google Chrome, you can go to Settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Cookies and site data.

Do Not Track
Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Therefore, Gates of Olympus does not currently respond to DNT signals.
However, we remain committed to protecting your privacy. You can still manage your cookie preferences as described in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section of this policy. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT and other privacy-enhancing technologies and adapt our practices as appropriate. Our focus is on providing transparency about our data practices and giving you control over your personal information within the framework of applicable data protection laws, including GDPR where relevant to our operations and player base.
