Cookie Policy
Revision: June 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains, in real detail, how this website ("Site"), built around covering Gates of Olympus by Pragmatic Play and the casinos offering it, deploys cookies and similar tracking technologies. It is meant to be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers our broader data practices.
We have written this document with the goal of it actually being useful to read, rather than existing purely as defensive legal text nobody ever opens. Continuing to use the Site once our cookie banner has been displayed, without changing the default settings, indicates your acceptance of non-essential cookies as described below. Strictly necessary cookies are deployed regardless of consent, since the Site is technically incapable of functioning without them.
Cookies on this Site serve a narrow, specific set of practical purposes: making sure pages render and function correctly, helping us understand which Gates of Olympus content genuinely serves our readers, and allowing us to receive proper credit when a visit to this Site results in a registration at a partner casino. None of that requires knowing your specific identity as an individual, and our entire approach to cookies has been built around that underlying principle.
// Contents
// The Categories of Cookies We Actually Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential to the basic operation of the Site – covering page navigation, fundamental security functions, and core display logic. They do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our on-site preference tool, although blocking them at the browser level may cause parts of the Site to stop functioning correctly.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies tell us how visitors actually interact with our Gates of Olympus content – which articles about the tumble mechanic, the random multiplier symbols, or the structure of the free spins round attract genuine attention, how long visitors remain on a given page, and what source referred them here in the first place. All data collected through these cookies is aggregated and does not identify any specific individual.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click through to a casino platform offering Gates of Olympus, a cookie is set that records the fact that the referral originated from this Site. This is what allows us to receive a commission should you go on to register and deposit at that casino. These cookies log only a click event and an associated timestamp – nothing capable of identifying you as an individual.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember the cookie consent choices you have made, together with any display settings you may have adjusted, ensuring the Site behaves consistently across repeat visits.
How Our Consent Banner Actually Functions
The first time you arrive at this Site, you are presented with a banner offering three distinct choices: accept all non-essential cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or open a detailed settings panel allowing you to choose category by category. Should you take no action and simply continue browsing, only strictly necessary cookies will be set until you make an explicit choice – we do not, under any interpretation, treat silence or inaction as implied consent for analytics or affiliate tracking cookies.
Whatever choice you make is stored in a dedicated preference cookie, which is what prevents the banner from reappearing on every single page you load. Should you clear your cookies entirely, including that specific preference cookie, the banner will reappear on your next visit, simply because we no longer hold any record of the choice you previously made.
// The Role of Third Parties
Certain cookies on this Site originate from third-party tools we have chosen to integrate, principally Google Analytics, whose own privacy practices govern any data it subsequently processes (details available at policies.google.com). We do not, under any circumstance, permit advertising networks or data brokers to place cookies on this Site, and nothing deployed here is used to support retargeting of any kind.
Once an affiliate cookie has been set and you proceed onward to an actual casino platform, our visibility into your activity ends entirely at that point. We cannot observe whether you registered, made a deposit, or actually played Gates of Olympus – we only eventually learn whether a commission was credited to us, and that information is reported back through the casino’s own separate affiliate system, entirely independent of anything stored in your browser.
// How Long Each Type of Cookie Persists
Session cookies are automatically deleted the moment you close your browser, and are never retained on your device beyond that point.
Persistent cookies remain active on your device for the specific duration listed in the table found in the section above, or until you choose to delete them manually.
// How You Can Actually Manage These Cookies
Several distinct mechanisms exist for managing the cookies operating on your device: our own on-site preference tool, presented on your first visit and reachable at any subsequent point through the cookie settings link on the Site; your browser’s native settings, which allow you to block or delete cookies outright; and Google’s dedicated opt-out browser extension, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, which halts Google Analytics tracking across every website you visit, not merely this one.
The exact path differs slightly by browser: in Chrome, the relevant settings sit under Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data; in Firefox, under Settings, then Privacy & Security; in Safari, under Preferences, then Privacy; and in Microsoft Edge, under Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from reading any of our Gates of Olympus content, though it may reduce personalization and limit our ability to attribute referrals accurately. Blocking every cookie at the browser level, including strictly necessary ones, can interfere with the consent tool itself, occasionally producing a loop in which the banner reappears on every single visit because it has no way of remembering your prior choice.
// Consent and How to Withdraw It
Consent to non-essential cookies is requested on your first visit and operates on a granular, category-by-category basis – you might accept analytics cookies while declining affiliate tracking cookies, or structure your preference the other way around, depending on the specific options presented through our consent tool. You may withdraw consent at any point through the on-site preference panel.
Withdrawing consent stops new non-essential cookies from being set going forward, but does not retroactively affect any processing that was already completed while consent remained active. Should we introduce any new category of non-essential cookie in the future, we will present a fresh consent request rather than relying on consent you previously gave for an entirely different purpose.
// Where Cookies Intersect With Personal Data
Where any specific cookie processes information that qualifies as personal data under applicable law, our Privacy Policy governs that processing comprehensively, including the legal basis relied upon, the applicable retention period, and the rights available to you as a result. Analytics cookies anonymize IP addresses before any storage occurs; affiliate cookies remain tied to a click event rather than to any specific, identifiable individual.
// Do Not Track Browser Signals
Certain browsers offer the ability to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites you visit. No binding technical or legal standard currently exists governing how websites should respond to that signal, and this Site does not presently alter its behavior in response to it. The mechanisms described in the management section above offer considerably more reliable and granular control over tracking on this Site.
// Revisions to This Cookie Policy
We review and revise this Policy periodically as our specific cookie usage evolves, publishing the current and authoritative version here together with an updated revision date.
// Contact
Any question relating to cookies on this Site can be directed to us through the contact form available here, and we genuinely read and act on what comes through that channel.
