This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy and should be construed in conjunction with our Terms of Use.
Capitalized terms in this Cookie Policy that are not explicitly defined here have the meaning of the respective capitalized terms in the Yes-Games Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Like most companies, when you visit or interact with the Platform, we and our service providers may use cookies and other tracking technologies to store information, including pixels (also known as “web beacons” or “transparent GIFs”), local Storage and device identifiers to help deliver, protect, and improve the platform. For example, we can use it to save your settings, personalize content, tailor advertisements to your interests, combat fraud and abuse, and optimize the function and your access to the platform.
This policy explains how and why we use these technologies and the choices you have. We use “cookies” and “similar technologies” to refer to all of these technologies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit websites. This records information about your activity, including what pages you visit, what content you listen to, what ads you click on, your preferences and other actions you take on the platform.
Cookies can be “persistent” or “session-based”. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a fixed period of time or until you delete them, session cookies are deleted after you close your web browser.
Similar technologies
We use other data collection technologies that have similar functionality to cookies, including pixels, local storage, and device identifiers. The specific names and types of cookies we use may change from time to time as we improve and update the platform, but we’ve provided some basic definitions to help you understand this policy.
Pixel – A pixel is a small piece of code on a web page or in an email notification that, usually together with cookies, identifies our users and records user behavior. Like many services, we use pixels to learn if you have interacted with certain web or email content. This allows us to measure and improve our services and personalize your experience.
Local Storage – Local storage is an industry standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. We use local storage to customize what we show you based on your use of our content and other past interactions with the platform.
Device identifiers – We also use device identifiers, also known as mobile ID and advertising ID, for the purposes explained in this policy. For example, to recognize your device when you return to the Platform or otherwise use the Platform.
Software Development Kits (SDKs) – We may use third parties, including our service providers and business partners, who use Mobile SDKs to collect information that allows them to recognize your device when you return to the Platform. For example, we may use this technology to analyze your interaction with the Platform, including content and advertising, and to enable analytics and other features through mobile devices.
How we use cookies
While we use cookies to provide, measure, and improve the Platform in a variety of ways, the cookies we use generally fall into one of the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies (operational) – These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions by you that constitute a service request – e.g. For example, set your privacy preferences, log in, or fill out forms. You can set your browser to block or warn you about these cookies, but some areas of the website will then not work. These cookies do not store any personal data. Cookies, which are necessary to secure the platform and to combat fraud, are also considered strictly necessary. These cookies enable and support our security features and help us detect malicious or unauthorized activity. We also use cookies to combat fraud and other activities that violate our policies or otherwise affect our ability to provide the Paffect platform. Cookies also help us fight spam and phishing attacks by enabling us to detect computers and devices used to create large numbers of fake Yes-Games accounts. Such cookies ensure the proper functioning of our services and are therefore absolutely necessary. The use of these cookies is in our legitimate interests.
Performance Cookies – These cookies allow us to count unique visitors and traffic sources in order to measure and improve the performance of our website. This allows us to see which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. If you do not allow these cookies, only anonymous information about your behavior on Yes-Games will be collected, so we will not know when you have visited our website.
Functional cookies – These cookies enable the provision of enhanced functionality and personalization options for the website. They can be set by us or by third parties whose offers we have integrated into our websites. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these offers may not work properly. For example, if you continue to use the Platform or return, we may recognize your username and retrieve your settings and content preferences. If you delete, block or refuse these types of cookies, the platform will only offer you limited functions.
Targeting cookies (personalization/advertising) – These cookies may be set by our advertising partners through our website. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising on other websites. They do not store directly personally identifiable information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will see ads that are less personalized.
Communication Cookies – These cookies allow us to show you personalized messages, tips and offers for Yes-Games products based on your use of our platform. If you turn off this setting, the notifications you see may be less relevant.
Cookies related to the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) – This framework provides our users with detailed choices and guarantees that publishers and providers registered in this framework comply with the standards of the IAB TCF and only use information for their advertising that willingly divulge them. The IAB TCF is only used for vendors/publishers and provides detailed choices. Publishers will honor the choices made, guaranteed by the IAB. See the consent management platform for extensive documentation with more details.
Other cookies for registered users – For registered users, we use other advertising services that are also based on cookies. You will be given various choices to allow or decline cookies for our advertising partners. Although some of these cookies are referred to as “advertising cookies”, they may be usable without your consent because they are necessary for the security of your data and our services or are used to provide certain functions and analytics of the Yes-Games service.
Third party cookies
We allow certain service providers to set cookies and similar technologies on the Platform for the same purposes described above, including collecting information about your online activities over time and across different websites and devices in order to show you more relevant advertising.
Third party analytics are used to monitor and measure usage of this website so that we can continue to create engaging content. These cookies may collect information such as how long you have stayed on the website or the pages you have visited so that we can understand how we can improve the website for you. We occasionally test new features and make minor changes to the way the site is delivered. When we test new features, these cookies may be used to ensure you get a consistent experience when using the site, while also allowing us to understand which optimisations our users appreciate most.
You may also encounter cookies and tracking technologies from our third party marketing service providers.
Additionally, we may partner with ad networks and programmatic exchanges to show you ads. These third-party networks and exchange providers may use cookies, pixels or uhUse similar third-party technologies to collect information, including your device identifier, IP address, or advertising ID. The information these third parties collect may be used to help us deliver more relevant advertising to you, which may be on or off the Platform as described above.
Because we sell services, we need to be able to keep track of statistics about the number of visitors to our site who actually make a purchase. These cookies therefore track this type of data. This is important to you because it allows us to accurately forecast business and monitor our advertising and product costs to ensure the best possible price.
We use advertising to offset the cost of running this site and to provide funds for further development. The behavioral advertising cookies used by our Platform are designed to ensure that we provide you with the most relevant advertisements, wherever possible, by anonymously tracking your interests and presenting similar things that may interest you.
Several partners serve advertisements on our behalf and affiliate tracking cookies simply allow us to see if our customers have come to the site through one of our partner websites so that we can reward them accordingly and provide bonuses to our affiliate partners where appropriate. they can grant you for a purchase.
We also use social media buttons and/or plugins on the platform that allow you to connect to your social network in various ways. The social media networks set cookies through their own website. These may be used to enhance your profile on their website or to supplement the data they hold for various purposes explained in their respective privacy policies.
Third party cookies are governed by the privacy policy of that third party.
Yes-Games works with reputable advertising partners to bring you content and advertisements about products and services that you may like. Advertising partners are classified by purpose, function and websites. By purpose, some cookies may be subject to your consent or refusal, while others are based on our legitimate interests. Within the cookie management platform you can go to the relevant cookie category and see which cookies are direct and which are third party.
Your Choices and Controls
Yes-Games wants to offer you sensible ways to protect your data. You have some options to control or limit the use of cookies by us, our partners and other third parties. Please note, however, that cookies are important for many aspects of the platform – if you disable cookies you may not be able to use all the features of the platform. To the extent that you opt out of personalized ads using the following mechanisms, you may still receive ads when using the Platform, but these will not be tailored to your interests.
Consent Management Platform (“CMP”)
We use a consent management platform (“CMP”) to give you choices about which cookies you consent to. Some countries allow such cookies to be set as default, subject to applicable law, but you can also access and make choices in your profile settings.
The CMP allows you to consent to the setting of optional cookies by us and our third party partners. Third-party cookies can also be managed according to the purpose for which your data is processed or the involvement of certain third-party partners. The CMP also enables us to retain evidence of your consent.
Strictly necessary cookies and other cookies based on our legitimate interests (security and anti-abuse) are not subject to any choice by you in relation to our CMP, but are used in our legitimate interests. These interests have been balanced against your interests in not collecting your data and not setting such cookies on your devices, and why such use of cookies is deemed necessary for our services has been adequately documented. For example, you can disable these cookies in your browser settings, but doing so will effectively prevent you from using our Service, or at least the most important parts of it.
