    Cookie Policy

    This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by PermitPlay.com.

    What is a cookie?

    A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a computer, mobile device, or other equipment of a user accessing the internet. The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).

    We may also use "web beacons" (also known as "clear gifs" or "pixel tags") or similar technologies on our site to allow us to determine whether you have visited a web page or received a message. A "web beacon" is typically a transparent image (though it can also be a visible one) located on a web page and helps us measure the success of marketing campaigns and improve our site’s performance. These technologies may also allow us to report your viewing of a web page to other organizations. In many cases, "web beacons" rely on cookies to function properly, so blocking cookies will affect their operation.

    What are cookies used for?

    These files make it possible to recognize the user’s device and present content in a relevant manner, tailored to the user’s preferences. Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users and support PermitPlay.com’s efforts to provide convenient services to users, e.g., online privacy preferences and relevant advertising. They are also used to generate anonymous aggregated statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content while excluding the personal identification of the user.

    How does our website use cookies?

    We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s device until the session ends or the application (web browser) is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for a period defined by the cookie parameters or until manually deleted by the user.

    We use cookies to personalize content and ads, provide social media features, and analyze traffic. We also share information about how you use our site with our social media, advertising, and analytics partners. These partners may combine the information with other data you have provided or that they have collected as a result of your use of their services.

    Do cookies contain personal data?

    Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies can only be gathered to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. This data is encrypted in a way that makes it inaccessible to unauthorized persons.

    First-party cookies

    A visit to this site may place cookies for purposes such as:

    1. Essential Cookies. Necessary for the functioning of the website. We may use essential cookies to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of user accounts, or provide specific site features.

    2. Traffic Measurement Cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around the website while using it. This helps us improve the way the website works.

    3. Functionality Cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to the site. This allows us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (e.g., your language or region selection).

    4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies. These record your visit to the site, the pages you visited, and the links you clicked. We will use this information to make the site more relevant to your interests. Additionally, this information may be shared with third parties for the same purpose—to make the site more relevant for you. For example, based on these types of cookies, the products and services preferred by a user can be identified, and this information can later be used to deliver appropriate advertising messages to the respective user.

    Third-party Cookies

    In addition to our own cookies, we may also use third-party cookies to report website usage statistics and improve marketing efforts.

    • Tracking Cookies. These monitor behavior on the site and connect it to other metrics to allow for a better understanding of usage habits.
    • Optimization Cookies. These allow real-time tracking of user conversions from various marketing channels to evaluate their effectiveness.
    • Partner Cookies. These provide our partners with conversion metrics so they can optimize their paid marketing efforts.

    Below, you can find more details about how we use these services on our website and how you can disable them. PermitPlay.com assumes no responsibility for the data protection policies or procedures of partner websites.

    A. Social Media Plugins

    Our website uses “plugins” from social media operators (e.g., www.facebook.com). All social media plugins on our website are clearly marked. When you access pages on our website that contain a social media plugin, your browser will establish a direct connection to the server of the social network operator. The content of the plugin will be transmitted directly to your browser by the operator’s server and integrated into the website. By integrating the plugin, the social network operator receives information that you have accessed our page. If, during your visit to our website, you are logged into a valid social media session, the visit may be attributed to the respective user account. If you interact with the plugin, that information will be transmitted to and stored by the social network operator. If you want to prevent your data from being collected by the social network operator via our website, you must log out of the operator’s service before visiting our website.

    Information regarding the purpose, scope of data storage, further processing, usage, and your rights, as well as configuration options, can be found in the social network operator’s data protection policies, which are independent of this data protection statement. For Facebook, you can find these policies at: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies.

    B. Google Analytics Web Analysis Service

    Our website uses the “Google Analytics” web analysis service provided by Google Inc. for statistical purposes. This web analysis service uses so-called “cookies” (see above under "Cookie Usage"). Cookies generate only anonymous information about the use of our website. This information is transmitted to Google Inc.’s servers in an EU member state or outside the EU (e.g., in the USA) and stored there. Google Inc. ensures an adequate level of data protection in the USA by participating in the Privacy Shield project—see details at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnaNAAS.

    Google Inc. may transmit this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google Inc. Neither we nor Google Inc. will associate your IP address with any other data saved by Google Inc. or by us.

    To manage whether you wish to send cookies to the Google Analytics service, you can access: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en.

    C. Google AdSense Online Advertising Service

    Our website uses the “Google AdSense” online advertising service provided by Google Inc. to serve online ads. This advertising service on our website uses so-called “cookies” (see above under "Cookie Usage"). Cookies generate only information about the use of our website. This information is transmitted to Google Inc.’s servers in an EU member state or outside the EU (e.g., in the USA) and stored there. Google Inc. ensures an adequate level of data protection in the USA by participating in the Privacy Shield project—see details at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnaNAAS. Google Inc. may transmit this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google Inc.

    To manage whether you wish to send cookies to Google AdSense, you can access: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

    Please note that blocking cookies for Google may have various implications unrelated to our site (e.g., when you click on an ad from the search engine www.google.com to access our site, Google may not allow the site to load).

    Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising—it simply means that the ads will no longer consider your preferences and interests, as determined by your browsing behavior.

    The above list can be modified. For information or requests based on the rights of data subjects under GDPR, you may contact the Data Protection Officer at the following email address: [email protected].

    Your Cookie Options

    In general, an application used to access web pages allows Cookies to be saved to the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that automatic Cookie management is blocked by the web browser, or the user is informed each time Cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and methods of managing Cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser).

    Restricting the use of Cookies may affect certain functionalities of the webpage. In this regard, Essential Cookies (without which our website cannot function properly) cannot be edited.

    If you wish to delete cookie files stored on your devices and configure your web browser to refuse cookie files, you can use your web browser's preference settings. Typically, you can find cookie navigation settings in the "Options," "Tools," or "Preferences" menus of the web browser you use to access our Websites. Depending on existing web browsers, various methods may be used to disable cookie files. For more information, please visit your browser's website:

    • Cookie Settings in Internet Explorer – Internet Explorer

    Why Cookies Are Important for the Internet

    Cookies are the central point for the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests.

    Refusing or disabling cookies may render some websites unusable. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertisements – it just means that ads will no longer consider your preferences and interests, as indicated by your browsing behavior.

    Examples of Important Uses for Cookies:

    • Content and services tailored to user preferences – categories of products and services.
    • Offers tailored to user interests – remembering passwords.
    • Retaining child protection filters for Internet content (family mode options, safe search features).
    • Limiting the frequency of ad display – restricting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a website.
    • Providing more relevant advertising to users.
    • Measurement, optimization, and analytics features – such as confirming a specific level of traffic on a website, identifying what type of content is viewed, and how a user reaches a website (e.g., via search engines, direct access, other websites, etc.). Websites use these usage analyses to improve their platforms for the benefit of users.
