About Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Cookies are commonly used small text files placed on your device or computer. Cookies collect limited amounts of data most often for the purposes of providing website and application functionality and features.
FIRST AND THIRD PARTY COOKIES
When we place cookies directly when you visit our Products, those are called “first-party cookies”.
When one of our third-party service providers, ad partners, or a third party advertiser places cookies, those are called “third party cookies” and we do not have control over the settings on those third-party’s websites and/or applications. First and third party may be placed on your device, computer, or browser when you use our Products. Third party developers and publishers may also use cookies or other technologies within our Products. Such cookie placement is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties and you should visit the websites of third-party providers to obtain further information on how they use cookies .
Persistent and Session Cookies: We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies stay on your browser until they are deleted or expire. Session cookies last until you close a website or browser.
PIXELS
Pixels are tiny images found within a webpage or email. Pixels can also be used to place cookies on a browser. They require a call to a company’s server to render the image on the webpage or email. That call will provide us device and visit information that enables us to understand how you interact with such content (e.g. did you “like” a post).
LOG FILES
Log Files are tracking technologies that we use and automatically store information, such as your Internet Protocol addresses, browser type, operating system, date/time stamp and clickstream data. We maintain server logs for 90 day.
LOCAL STORAGE
Local Storage is storage on your device that we use to store information related to your use of our Products, such as your recent conversation history in the RIFT Games messaging application.
Other Tracking Technologies include mobile advertising IDs, Device IDs, and session tokens that we use to identify and understand your interactions with our Products.
We describe how we use cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g., pixels, ad IDs, etc.) below.

We may also still share some personal information with our partners to help us perform functions such as measuring ad effectiveness, controlling how many times you see an ad, determining ad performance, providing and securing ad, providing aggregate statistics and analytics, and/or reducing ad fraud. In such instances, these partners will act as our services providers.
The above choices will not opt you out of the use of previously collected and shared information or all interest-based advertising (such as that conducted on other sites).
