Cookies Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to our use of cookies and other similar technologies on our website at www.monqigames.com. The purpose of this policy is to provide you with information about what cookies are and how they work. It also explains what cookies we use, what they do, and how you can control what cookies we use when you visit our website.

WHO IS THE DATA CONTROLLER?

A “data controller” is a person or organization who alone or jointly determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data is, or is likely to be, processed. In this sense, Monqi Games (“Monqi Games”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is the data controller.

If you have any questions about cookies or about data protection at Monqi Games in general, you can reach us by email using team@monqigames.com with “Data Protection” in the subject line.

WHY DO WE HAVE A COOKIE POLICY?

In accordance with the EU's Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”), we need to inform you about the cookies we use and obtain your consent when using certain types of cookies, namely functional, performance, analytics, and advertising cookies.

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device (e.g., computer, smartphone, or electronic device that accesses the internet) when you visit a website. Cookies can be useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device, preferences, and generally help to improve your online experience.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

There are three types of cookies that we use: necessary cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. These cookies perform different functions as explained below in the relevant cookies sections.

• Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies are essential in order to provide you with the services you request on our website and in order that we can comply with legal obligations. We do not need to ask for your consent in order to use these cookies, as without them we would not be able to provide the services requested by you. These are always active on the website.

• Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about things like how many people visit our website, what parts of the website people look at, and how many new visitors we have to the website. These cookies help us to monitor how effective our website is and to improve it, tailoring it to our visitors. Analytics cookies are only used if you consent to it in our Cookie Consent Tool.

• Marketing/Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies help us provide you with personalized and relevant services or advertising and track the effectiveness of our digital marketing activities. They are capable of tracking your browser across other websites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. Advertising cookies are only used if you consent to it in the Cookie Consent Tool.

CONSENT

Necessary cookies will always be active on your device, but we ask for your consent to place analytics and marketing cookies and other similar technologies on your device. If at any time you want to change your cookie settings, including withdrawing your consent to this processing, we would encourage you to do this via the links below. You may need to refresh the page before the changes to the settings take effect.

THE COOKIES WE USE

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google. Google Analytics uses a specific form of cookie, which is stored on your device and enables an analysis of your use of our website. The cookies set by Google Analytics for measurement are different for each visitor (i.e., there is not a single Google Analytics cookie ID that is used on all sites using Google Analytics). The information about your use of our website generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The use of this service is based on your consent.

Google uses this information on our behalf to analyze your use of this website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide additional services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data. In the configuration of Google Analytics, we ensured that Google receives this data as a processor and is therefore not allowed to use this data for its own purposes.

In relation to the data transfer into the USA Google’s processing agreement for Google Analytics can be read here. You can disable tracking by Google Analytics with future effect by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your current web browser following this link.

Google Tag Manager

We also use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution enabling us to administer website tags via an interface. Google Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, is a cookie-free domain and does not record any personal data. However, the tool triggers other tags that may record your Personal Data. Google Tag Manager itself does not access this data. If you refuse Analytical/Performance and/ or Marketing Cookies, Google Tag Manager remains in place. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest.

Google AdSense

We also use Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from Google. Google AdSense uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your devices and that allow an analysis of the use of the website. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on these pages.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to Google's contractual partners. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored about you.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Pixel Cookies and Tags

We use so-called Pixel Cookies and Tags (“Pixel Cookies”). A Pixel Cookie is an advertising tool and typically consists of a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to understand and track visitors' activity on our website. For this purpose, Pixel Cookies collect and process information about visitors of our website and the device used (so-called event data).

Event data collected through Pixel Cookies is used for targeting our advertisements and improving ad delivery and personalized advertising. For this purpose, the event data collected on our website by means of Pixel Cookies is transmitted to the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie and, in part, also stored on your device. However, this only happens with your consent, and we and the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie are considered joint controllers. Nonetheless, for the subsequent processing of the transmitted event data, the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie is the sole controller.

For more information about how the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie processes personal data, including the legal basis on which they rely on and how you can exercise your rights, please refer to the following Privacy Policies: Facebook and Instagram.

HOW TO BLOCK COOKIES AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS

If you want to block all cookies, you may be able to do this through the settings in your browser for each browser you use and each device you use to access the internet (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari).

We also offer a Cookie Consent Tool when you first visit our website. This tool allows you to specify your preference about cookies. You can accept or reject them or access this Cookie Policy before giving your consent to cookies or rejecting them. This permits you to make an informed decision about the cookies we use. You are free to accept or reject cookies, but note that after rejecting them, browsing our website might be less user-friendly and the relevant content might be affected.

In addition, if you do not wish to participate in advertising personalization or retargeting/tracking you can object to behavioral advertising at the following websites: Your Online Choices, Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, Network Advertising Initiative, AdChoices the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (Europe only), Facebook Ad Settings, Instagram Ad Settings, and Google Ad Settings.

DOES THIS POLICY CHANGE?

We may update this policy from time to time. This might be for a number of reasons, such as to reflect a change in the law or to accommodate a change in our business practices and the way we use cookies. We recommend that you check here periodically for any changes to this policy. This policy was last updated on Sunday, 15th of December 2024.

WHO SHOULD I CONTACT FOR MORE INFORMATION?
