ABOUT COOKIES
Cookies are widely used to allow online sites to function efficiently. They are small text files that (depending on your browser settings) websites and other online services deposit on your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or other device. These small text files are placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a server in the domain that placed the cookie. Some cookies on Crystal Dynamics, Inc.’s and Eidos Interactive Corporation’s websites are placed by third parties acting on our behalf. We use cookies and similar technologies to store and remember your preferences and settings, enable you to sign in, combat fraud, analyze how our services perform and fulfil the other purposes described below. Additionally, our applications use other unique identifiers, such as advertising IDs, for similar purposes.
OUR USE OF COOKIES
We use cookies for several purposes, depending on which of our websites you visit or use, and how you choose to use our websites and services. These purposes include:
Storing your preferences and settings – We use cookies to remember your preferences and settings. For example, cookies can remember your preferred language to enhance your experience on our website. Saving your preferences means you won’t have to reset your preferences every time you visit our websites.
Sign-in and authentication – We use some cookies to authenticate you. These cookies allow you, among other things, to move from page to page within our websites without having to sign into an account (such as a user account) on each page. Should you wish, you can also save your account sign-in information so you don’t have to sign in every time you come back to our websites.
Security, detection, and investigation – We use cookies to process information that can help secure and protect our services, as well as to detect and investigate illegal activities, fraud and abuse.
Social media – Our websites and services may use social media cookies, including cookies that help you share content to your social media accounts.
Interest-based advertising – We may use cookies to collect data about your online activity and identify your interests so that we can provide advertising that is most relevant to you.
Analytics – We use cookies and other unique identifiers to gather usage and performance data. For example, we use cookies to count the number of unique visitors to our websites or create animated heatmap representations of your usage of our websites to understand how our websites are being used and where errors may be occurring. We also use cookies and other unique identifiers to match your data across our websites and games to understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
Performance – We use cookies to understand and improve how our products perform. For example, we use cookies to gather data that helps with load balancing (this helps ensure that our websites remain up and running).
COOKIES COMMONLY USED ON OUR WEBSITES
Some of the cookies we, and third-party companies we hire to provide services on our behalf, commonly use are listed below. This is not an exhaustive list; it is intended to identify some of the primary types of cookies we typically set. If you visit one of our websites, we may set some or all of the following cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Sale of Personal Data
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. These cookies collect information for analytics and to personalize your experience with targeted ads. If you opt out we will not be able to offer you personalized ads and will not hand over your personal information to any third parties. Additionally, you may contact our legal department for further clarification about your rights as a California consumer by writing to us at the email address listed in the section “How to Contact Us.” If you have enabled privacy controls on your browser (such as a plugin), we have to take that as a valid request to opt-out. Therefore we would not be able to track your activity through the web. This may affect our ability to personalize ads according to your preferences.
Social Media Cookies
These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
ADVERTISING COOKIES
We, and third parties operating on our behalf, may place targeted advertising cookies on your device in order to show you advertisements for services and products that will be of interest to you. We may also use these cookies to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement or to show you advertisements more closely targeted to you, based on your browsing behavior.
Targeted advertising cookies uniquely identify your browser and/or device. If you disable these cookies (for example, by following the steps in the (Managing Cookies section below)) you may still receive advertisements from us but they won’t be tailored to your interests.
The Network Advertising Initiative and Your Online Choices websites provide mechanisms for opting-out of some advertising.
RESTRICTING, BLOCKING OR DELETING COOKIES
If you would rather restrict, block, or delete cookies from our websites you can use your browser or device’s operating system to do so. We provide some recommended steps on how to do this below in the Browser Cookie Management section below.
