Cookie Notice

Last updated: October 7, 2021

This Cookie Notice explains how Devolver Digital, Inc (“Devolver”, “we”, “us” and “ours”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our Website at devolverdigital.com or navigate to our other websites from this site per the list at the end of this Notice (collectively “Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.


What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners can use cookies for various reasons that can include enabling their websites to work (or work more efficiently), providing personalized content and advertising, and creating website analytics.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Devolver) are called “first-party cookies”. Only the website owner can access the first-party cookies it sets. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and social sharing). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the Website in question and when it visits other websites that have partnered with them.


Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons that are strictly necessary for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to provide Website functionality or enhance visitors’ experience on our Website by providing them with personalized content and advertising. This is described in more detail below:

  • Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
  • Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. These are also used to ensure that a visitor is old enough to view certain content.
  • Analytics and customisation cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Website for you.
  • Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in our cookie consent notice. Click the cookie icon located in the bottom left corner to review them at any time.


What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will often impair their functioning.


How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by using the opt-out mechanism provided.

You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt-out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.


How often will we update this Cookie Notice?

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please, therefore, re-visit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Notice indicates when it was last updated.
