YaYoYe ("YaYoYe", "we", "our" or "us") is involved with and responsible for the processing of your personal data via the YaYoYe Website.

Please note that YaYoYe may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If YaYoYe makes significant changes, we will let you know. You can of course also check this Cookie Policy to ensure that you are aware of the most updated version.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small bits of data that can be placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone or other electronic device ("device") with which you can surf the internet via a web browser. A website that uses cookies can then place these cookies on your device via your web browser if you visit this website. Examples of web browsers are: Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and Opera.

There are two different categories of cookies:

1. First party cookies. Cookies which YaYoYe places on your device for its own purposes.
2. Third party cookies. Cookies placed by or for an external/third party (e.g. other company). Usually these are cookies for the purpose of advertisement and tracking. Vice versa, YaYoYe may also obtain cookie information obtained by third parties when you visit other websites.

Purpose cookies. After a cookie is placed on your device, your device can be recognized as you surf through the YaYoYe Website via the same web browser. This will for instance enable the YaYoYe Website to \'remember\' your language settings, which games you played and your progress in these games. If these cookies are placed by a third-party, such third-party can (also) use the cookie for the same purposes.

For more information on cookies, please be referred to the website www.allaboutcookies.org.

Lifecycle cookies. After a cookie is placed on a device, it is only valid for a certain period.

1. Default period. After the validity period of a cookie passes, the cookie is automatically removed by the web browser. For local storage: YaYoYe will make sure that it is removed after the time specified in the Cookie Table below.
   The validity period varies per cookie. For example, some cookies are only valid during the browser session. Other cookies can also recognize your device if you visit the YaYoYe Website during a new browser session, e.g. for a year after being placed.
2. Early deletion/refusal of cookies. You can choose to delete a cookie manually before its validity period has passed. You can also decide to refuse the cookies which may only be used with your consent. For more information on this, please see the section below: "How can you manage cookies and cookie setting?".

Similar technologies. In addition to cookies, other techniques can also be used for similar purposes, such as:

1. HTML5 Local Storage. HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects can be used for the same purposes as cookies.
2. Web beacons. Web beacons (also called "tags" or "tracking pixels") are bits of programming code that can be included in web pages, emails, and ads. Web beacons can notify the user when those web pages, emails, or ads have been viewed or clicked on by you.

Below, when we speak of "cookie", we also mean the similar technologies described above, unless we say otherwise.
