We (meaning Mike Bithell Games Limited) use technologies on our website and online services (which we'll call the ‘Services’) to collect information that helps us improve your online experience. We refer to these technologies, which include cookies, collectively as “cookies.” This policy explains the different types of cookies used on the Services and how you can control them. We hope that this policy helps you understand and feel more confident about our use of cookies. If you have any further queries, please contact us at contact@bithellgames.com.

1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. They are widely used in order to make websites or other online services work or to be better or more efficient. They can do this because websites and other online services can read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information that will make your use of them more convenient (e.g. by remembering your user preferences).
2. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?
Below we list the different types of cookies we may use on the Services.
Essential Cookies. These cookies are essential to the operation of our Services in order to enable you to move around it and to use its features. Without these cookies services you have asked for, such as accessing secure areas of a website or paid-for content, cannot be provided. These cookies are essential for using the service and therefore cannot be turned off without severely affecting your use of it.
Performance Cookies. Performance cookies, which often include analytics cookies, collect information about your use of the Services and enable us to improve the way it works. For example, performance cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on our website, allow us to see the overall patterns of usage on the Services, help us record any difficulties you have with the Services and show us whether our advertising is effective or not. We also use cookies to help you navigate within our website and travel back to pages. Performance cookies on the Services may include:
Targeting or Advertising Cookies and Technologies. We and our service providers may use targeting or advertising cookies and other technologies to collect information (e.g. IP address device ID, general location information etc) and deliver advertisements on the Services that we believe are more relevant to you and your interests. For example, we may use targeting or advertising cookies to limit the number of times you see the same advertisement on our Services and to help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies remember what you have looked at on the Services and we may share this information with other organisations, such as advertisers.
You can choose to prevent your device’s advertisement identifier being used for interest-based advertising by updating the settings on your device. For more information about targeting and advertising cookies and technologies and how you can opt out and otherwise control these, you can visit http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ or http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html. Opting out does not mean you will not receive advertisements, it just means the advertisements may be less relevant to your interests. Targeting and advertising cookies on the Services may include:
3. HOW DO THIRD PARTIES USE COOKIES ON THE SERVICES?
In some circumstances, we may work with third parties to provide features on the Services. For example, third-party advertisers and other organisations may use their own cookies to collect information about your activities on the Services and/or the advertisements you have clicked on (which will be detailed above). This information may be used by them to serve advertisements that they believe are most likely to be of interest to you based on content you have viewed. Third-party advertisers may also use this information to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements. We do not control these cookies and to disable or reject third-party cookies, please refer to the relevant third party’s website. You can also learn more about controlling cookies in section 4 below.
