Cookie Policy

Strictly necessary

Essential to basic Site operation – page navigation, core security functions, fundamental display logic. These do not require consent and cannot be switched off through our preference tool, though blocking them at the browser level may break parts of the Site.

Analytics and performance

Tell us how visitors actually engage with our Gates of Olympus content – which articles about the tumble mechanic or the free spins structure get read, how long visitors stay, what referred them here. Collected and reported in aggregated, non-identifying form.

Affiliate tracking

Set the moment you click through to a casino offering Gates of Olympus, recording that the referral came from this Site so a resulting registration can be credited to us. These cookies log only a click event and a timestamp.

Preference cookies

Remember your cookie consent choices and any display settings, keeping the Site consistent across repeat visits.

How Our Consent Banner Actually Works

On your first visit, you’re shown a banner with three choices: accept all non-essential cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or open detailed settings to choose by category. Continue browsing without picking one, and we set only strictly necessary cookies – we never treat silence as consent for analytics or affiliate tracking.

Whatever you choose gets saved in a preference cookie, which is what stops the banner reappearing on every page load. Clear that cookie along with everything else, and the banner shows up again next visit, since we no longer have any record of your earlier choice.

Some cookies here come from tools we use, primarily Google Analytics, whose own privacy terms govern data it processes (policies.google.com). We do not allow advertising networks or data brokers to set cookies on this Site, and nothing here supports retargeting.

Once an affiliate cookie is set and you move on to a casino platform, our visibility ends there. We cannot see whether you registered, deposited, or played – we only eventually learn whether a commission was credited, reported back through the casino’s own affiliate system, separate from anything in your browser.

What We Genuinely Cannot See

It is worth being explicit about the limits of our own visibility here. We have no dashboard, no log, and no technical mechanism showing us your account activity, your balance, or your gameplay at any casino we link to. The cookie’s job ends the moment you arrive at that platform; everything afterward is invisible to us until, and unless, a commission report eventually comes back through the affiliate network itself.

You can manage cookies through our on-site preference tool, available on first visit and reachable any time afterward; your browser’s native settings, which let you block or delete cookies outright; or Google’s opt-out extension at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, stopping Analytics tracking across every site, not just this one.

Paths vary by browser: Chrome under Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data; Firefox under Settings, then Privacy & Security; Safari under Preferences, then Privacy; Edge under Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.

Blocking non-essential cookies won’t stop you reading our content, but may reduce personalization and limit referral accuracy. Blocking everything, including necessary cookies, at the browser level can interfere with the consent tool itself, sometimes producing a loop where the banner keeps reappearing.

What Happens If You Block Absolutely Everything

Blocking every cookie at the browser level, strictly necessary ones included, can cause parts of this Site to behave unpredictably. The consent tool itself depends on a cookie to remember your prior choice, so total blocking can produce a frustrating loop where the banner never stops appearing. Using our on-site preference panel to manage non-essential categories individually tends to give more precise control with fewer unintended side effects than blanket browser-level blocking.

Where a cookie processes information qualifying as personal data, our Privacy Policy governs that processing in full – legal basis, retention, your rights. Analytics cookies anonymize IP addresses before storage; affiliate cookies tie to a click, not an identifiable individual.

We revise this Policy as our cookie usage evolves, publishing the current version here with an updated date.
