This Cookies Policy ("Policy") is a part of our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. All the terms in this Policy are used in the same meaning as in these documents.
This Policy describes the details on the processing of your data within the Services by use of cookies and other automated collection means.
The Policy defines the following aspects of the automated data collection:
- what are cookies and other means of automatic collection;
- what means do we use within the Website and the Games and whether we collect your personal data in such a way;

What are cookies and other automated data collection means?
We use the cookies and other automated data collection means when you visit our Website, other QuartSoft branded websites, and all pages related to them, our social games available on Facebook, on the Website and via the mobile applications.
a. Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of code that are stored on your browser when you use websites or other services. They are installed on your browser to enable different features, for example, to facilitate navigation on the website, to remember user’s choices or to serve the user with the ads which best reflect their interests. With the use of cookies, some services collect statistics in aggregated form.
In some cases, cookies are used to collect data that is recognized to be personal data, such as IP addresses and data linked to the IP address (traffic data). The usage of such cookies is regulated by the data protection laws. That is why you as a user obtain more rights to control the collection and processing of some data, and in most cases you are asked for your consent.
Cookies could be placed by the website owner and third parties.
b. Other means of automated data collection
Cookies are not efficient for use in mobile applications. That is why the owners of the applications use alternatives enabling to collect device fingerprints like screen resolution, browser settings or the operation system to track online movements of the user. A lot of such data would not be considered personal data unless it could be linked with some other data, for instance, to form a profile of such a user.

How does the Company deal with data collected through the cookies?
The cookies usage message for the Website and message about similar technologies for the Applications were the first messages that you were likely to see when you visited our Services. In most cases we do not ask you for a consent to install them, if we install cookies that are strictly required for the functioning of the Website in general and some of its features in particular (e.g. the very option to refuse some cookies). To ensure transparency and compliance, we utilize Consent Management Platforms (e.g., SFBX or Google Consent Mode via Playwire) on our Services. These tools allow you to manage your preferences for different cookie categories. On specific domains where Google Consent Mode is enabled, if you decline consent for advertising or analytical cookies, Google services will adjust their behavior. In such cases, they will only process non-identifying, aggregate signals (pings) to maintain basic service functionality and measurement without identifying you personally.
Data that we collect with the cookies, where it is personal data, are processed in accordance with provisions of our Privacy Policy. For instance, our employees and sub-contractors may be able to access these data. Moreover, your data may be processed on our behalf by the third-party service providers mentioned above. For more information on our practices, see our Privacy Policy.
