Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice describes how this website ("Site"), dedicated to covering Gates of Olympus by Pragmatic Play and comparing the casinos that offer it, deploys cookies and related tracking technologies. It is meant to be read alongside our Privacy Statement.



Here is the honest summary of what cookies actually do here: they keep the Site functioning correctly, they help us understand which parts of our Gates of Olympus content readers find genuinely useful, and they let us get credit when a visit leads to a casino registration. None of that requires knowing who you are as an individual, and our approach to cookies has been built around keeping it that way.



Continuing to browse the Site after our consent banner has appeared, without changing the default settings, counts as accepting non-essential cookies as described below. Strictly necessary cookies are set regardless of consent, because the Site simply cannot function without them.

// What a Cookie Is

A cookie is a small text file deposited on your device when you visit a website. Your browser stores it and may return it to the same site on later visits, which is how a site can recognize a returning visitor or recall a preference previously set. Cookies are passive – they can only store data and cannot execute programs.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use related technologies including pixel tags and browser local storage; this Notice uses “cookies” to cover all of them.

// The Four Categories We Use

Strictly necessary. These keep the Site operational: page navigation, core security functions, basic display logic. They are not subject to consent and cannot be disabled through our preference tool; browser-level blocking of necessary cookies may cause parts of the Site to stop working.

Analytics and performance. These show us how visitors actually engage with our Gates of Olympus content – which articles about the tumble mechanic, the multiplier symbols, or the free spins round get genuine attention, how long visitors stay, where they navigate from. All data is aggregated and does not identify any specific individual.

Affiliate tracking. When you follow a link to a casino offering Gates of Olympus, a cookie records that the referral came from here. If you then register and deposit within the attribution window, we receive a commission. These cookies capture a click event and a timestamp only – nothing that could identify you personally.

Preference cookies. These remember your cookie consent choices and any display settings you have adjusted, so the Site behaves consistently across return visits.

2.1 What the Consent Banner Actually Does

On your first visit, a banner offers three options: accept all non-essential cookies, reject all non-essential, or open detailed settings to choose category by category. Continuing to browse without making an explicit choice results in only strictly necessary cookies being set – we do not treat inaction as consent.

Your choice is stored in a preference cookie, which is what prevents the banner from appearing on every page. Clear that cookie entirely and the banner returns on your next visit, because we have no record of the choice you made previously.

If we introduce a new category of non-essential cookie at any point, we will present a fresh consent request rather than relying on consent given for a different purpose.

It is also worth noting what our consent tool is not: it is not a marketing exercise. We have built it to actually function – choosing to reject non-essential cookies genuinely prevents those cookies from being set. This is not universal practice across the web, and we want to be clear that it is how ours works.

// The Current Cookie List

Every cookie currently active on this Site is listed below, including provider, purpose, duration, and category. This list is maintained actively and updated whenever our third-party tool usage changes in any material way.

// Where Third Parties Come In

Some cookies here originate from tools we have integrated, primarily Google Analytics. Google’s own privacy practices govern any data it subsequently processes under its data processing terms. We do not permit advertising networks or data brokers to place any cookies on this Site, and nothing deployed here supports retargeting elsewhere on the web.

Once an affiliate cookie has done its job and you have navigated to a casino platform, our visibility stops completely. We cannot see whether you registered, how much you deposited, or anything about your Gates of Olympus sessions there. We only eventually learn whether a commission was credited, reported through the casino’s own affiliate system long after the fact.

4.1 The Limits of What We Can See

It is worth being explicit here because we know readers have this question. We hold no dashboard, no log, and no technical mechanism showing us your account at any casino. Once you leave this Site, your activity is entirely invisible to us until a commission report eventually surfaces through the affiliate network itself – and even then, that report contains no personal data about you individually.

// Managing Cookies

Three routes exist for managing what runs on your device: our on-site preference tool, shown on first visit and accessible again through the cookie settings link at any time; your browser’s own settings; or Google’s dedicated opt-out tool at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Browser paths vary:

  • Chrome uses Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox uses Settings > Privacy & Security
  • Safari uses Preferences > Privacy
  • Edge uses Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to read our Gates of Olympus content, but it may reduce personalization and limit our ability to attribute referrals accurately. A casino referral that cannot be attributed means we receive no commission for it, which is a commercial consequence we accept as part of respecting user choice.

6.1 What Happens if You Block Strictly Necessary Cookies

The consent tool itself relies on a cookie to remember your choice. Blocking all cookies at the browser level, including necessary ones, can produce a loop where the banner keeps reappearing on every page. Managing non-essential categories individually through our on-site tool typically gives more precise control without this side effect.

// Consent Mechanics

Consent is requested on first visit and operates category by category. Withdrawal is available at any time through the preference panel and takes effect immediately for new cookies going forward. Withdrawing consent does not retroactively undo processing that occurred while consent was active.

The granularity here is worth noting. You can accept analytics cookies while declining affiliate tracking, or accept affiliate tracking while declining analytics. You are not forced into an all-or-nothing choice, though that option is also available if you prefer it.

// Where Cookies and Personal Data Overlap

Where any specific cookie processes data qualifying as personal data, our Privacy Statement governs that processing, including legal basis, retention, and your rights. Analytics cookies anonymize IP addresses before any storage; affiliate cookies track clicks, not identifiable individuals.

// Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a Do Not Track signal. No binding standard currently governs how websites should respond, and this Site does not presently alter its behavior in response to that signal. The controls in Section 6 provide more reliable management.

// Updates

We revise this Notice as our cookie usage evolves, publishing the current authoritative version here with an updated date.
