Cookies
Technologies such as cookies, beacons, scripts, and tags may be used by us and our third-party partners. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the website, tracking users’ movements around the Platform, and gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing these types of tracking technologies.
Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They merely recognize your browser. Cookies come in two types: session and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you’ve closed your browser or turned off your computer.
BoardGame2Go uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information allows BoardGame2Go to process online transactions and requests. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you’ve logged in and are required in order to use the Service.
BoardGame2Go uses persistent cookies that only BoardGame2Go can read and use, to identify the fact that you are a BoardGame2Go Member. We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. Users who disable their web browser’s ability to accept cookies will be able to browse our Website but may not be able to use all the features of our Services.
