Cookie Statement – EEA

General Information

Edobx is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who uses our websites and applications. This cookie statement—referred to as the “Cookie Statement – EEA” or simply “Cookie Statement”—is designed to provide transparency regarding Edobx’s privacy practices and principles. It details the data we collect from visitors to our websites in the European Economic Area (EEA)* and explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on edobx.com and its alternative domains (the “Edobx Website”). Additionally, it offers background information on cookies and how you can manage your cookie settings.

Edobx B.V. (“Edobx,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is responsible for processing your data through the Edobx Website. For more detailed information on how Edobx handles your data and your privacy rights, please refer to Edobx’s Privacy Statement.

Please note that Edobx may update this Cookie Statement periodically. If significant changes are made, we will inform you. You are also encouraged to check this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about the latest version.

Please note that we determine your region of access based on your IP address. If you use a VPN connection, the Cookie Statement displayed may not correspond to your actual location.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that can be placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other electronic devices used to access the internet through a web browser. When you visit a website, it can place these cookies on your device via your web browser. Examples of popular web browsers include Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, and Opera.

There are two main categories of cookies:

First-Party Cookies: These are cookies that Edobx places on your device for its own purposes.
Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies placed by or for an external party (e.g., another company). Typically, these cookies are used for advertising and tracking purposes. Conversely, Edobx may also receive cookie information from third parties when you visit other websites.

Purpose of Cookies: Once a cookie is placed on your device, it allows your device to be recognized as you browse through the Edobx Website using the same web browser. For example, the Edobx Website may use cookies to “remember” your language preferences, the games you’ve played, and your progress in those games. If these cookies are placed by a third party, that third party may use the cookies for similar purposes.

For more detailed information about cookies, you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Lifecycle of Cookies:

Default Period: Cookies are only valid for a specified period. Once this period expires, the cookie is automatically removed by your web browser. In the case of local storage, Edobx ensures that it is removed after the duration specified in the Cookie Table.
Validity Period: The lifespan of a cookie varies. Some cookies are only valid for the duration of a single browser session, while others can recognize your device if you visit the Edobx Website again during a new session, sometimes up to six months later.
Early Deletion/Refusal of Cookies: You can manually delete a cookie before its validity period expires. Additionally, you can choose to refuse cookies that require your consent. For more information on managing your cookies and cookie settings, please refer to the section below titled “How Can You Manage Cookies and Cookie Settings?”.

Similar Technologies: Besides cookies, other techniques can be used for similar purposes, including:

HTML5 Local Storage: HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects can be used in the same way as cookies.
Web Beacons: Web beacons (also known as “tags” or “tracking pixels”) are snippets of programming code that can be embedded in web pages, emails, and ads. They can notify the sender when these web pages, emails, or ads have been viewed or clicked by you.

When we refer to “cookies” below, we also include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

What Type of Cookies Do We Use?

Edobx uses three types of cookies on the Edobx Website: (1) functional cookies, (2) analytical cookies, and (3) advertising cookies. Below is more detailed information on each type.

(i) Functional Cookies

Definition: Functional cookies are essential for the proper layout and navigation of a website. These cookies are either (1) placed solely to facilitate communication over an electronic communication network or (2) strictly necessary to provide you with the service you requested.
No Consent Required: Functional cookies can be placed without your consent, as they are crucial for the website’s operation.

(ii) Analytical Cookies

Definition: Analytical cookies are used to analyze and map how users interact with a website. This information helps improve the quality and effectiveness of Edobx’s services.
Not Always Consent Required: Edobx may place analytical cookies without your consent if the information gathered has little or no impact on your privacy. These cookies are used to assess the quality or effectiveness of the provided service.

(iii) Advertising Cookies

Definition: Advertising or targeting cookies are used to analyze user activity and sessions, allowing Edobx to deliver a more personalized experience. These cookies are often set by third parties with whom Edobx runs advertising campaigns, enabling us to serve ads relevant to you, even on other companies’ websites.
Consent Required: Advertising cookies can only be placed with your prior consent.

Who Places Which Cookies?

(i) Edobx Cookies

Some cookies are placed directly by Edobx or on behalf of Edobx. This includes all functional cookies, some analytical cookies, and certain advertising cookies. For a complete overview of these cookies, including their types, names, purposes, whether they are first-party or third-party cookies, and their validity periods, please refer to the detailed cookie overview provided here.

(ii) Developer Cookies

Game developers on the Edobx Website may also include cookies in their games. For instance, they might use cookies to track your in-game progress or points. Edobx is not responsible for these cookies; the game developer determines what data is processed and for what purpose. However, to ensure your data is protected even while playing games, Edobx has implemented two key measures:

Contractual Safeguards: We have included specific data protection clauses in our contracts with game developers.
Cookie Information List: We have compiled a list of cookies used by game developers, categorized by game, to inform you on behalf of the developers. This list allows you to determine which cookies may be placed based on the games you play, and decide if you want to adjust your cookie settings accordingly.

Please note that this list may not be exhaustive, as it excludes randomized cookies placed with fewer than 100 website visitors. Additionally, the cookies used by developers may change over time, so we update this list daily.

(iii) Secondary Domains

The Edobx domain (edobx.com) also hosts several secondary pages: developers.edobx.com, about.edobx.com, jobs.edobx.com, and shop.edobx.com. Edobx does not place or use any cookies on these sub-domains and has ensured that no cookies requiring consent under applicable law are placed without your approval.

(iv) Externally Hosted Games and Other Websites

This Cookie Statement applies only to cookies used when you visit the Edobx Website. Edobx is not responsible for cookies placed by other parties when you visit external websites, even if you were referred to those websites from the Edobx Website. To help you make informed decisions, we include a banner if you play a game hosted on a third-party website via our platform, notifying you that you are accessing a third-party website.

If you have any questions about the cookies used on our website or the organizations we work with, please feel free to contact us at privacy@edobx.com.

How Can You Manage Cookies and Cookie Settings?

Cookie Settings on the Edobx Website

On the Edobx Website, you can easily manage your cookie preferences by clicking on the ⚙️ icon. This allows you to customize settings such as:

Geolocation and Device Information: Decide if your precise geolocation and device characteristics can be used.

Browser Settings

Most internet browsers allow you to adjust settings so that you receive a warning before a cookie is placed. You can usually configure your browser to refuse all cookies or only third-party cookies. Additionally, you can delete cookies that have already been placed on your device. Remember to adjust these settings separately for each browser and device you use.

Impact on Website Functionality

If you choose to block or delete certain cookies, some parts of the Edobx Website or specific functions may not work properly. Deleting or refusing cookies doesn’t mean you won’t see advertisements anymore; however, the ads you do see may be less relevant to you.
