Cookie Policy
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Battlecat Gaming Ltd ("Battlecat Partners", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technology on www.battlecatpartners.com (the "Affiliate Site").
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains who we are, how we handle personal data and what rights you have.
This policy does not cover:
- our Brand Websites, where players register and play. Each has its own cookie policy; or
- websites and channels run by Affiliates. Each Affiliate is responsible for the cookies it uses and for telling its own visitors about them.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit. They let the site recognise your device and remember information between pages or visits.
In this policy, "cookies" also covers similar technology that stores or reads information on your device, such as local storage, pixels and tracking identifiers in links.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| First-party cookie | Set by the Affiliate Site itself |
| Third-party cookie | Set by another organisation whose service we use on the Affiliate Site |
| Session cookie | Deleted when you close your browser |
| Persistent cookie | Stays on your device for a set period, or until you delete it |
3. How we use cookies
We set strictly necessary cookies automatically. We set every other type only if you agree to it.
| Category | What it does | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in to your Affiliate Account, protects the Affiliate Site against misuse, balances traffic and remembers your cookie choice | No |
| Functional | Remembers preferences such as language, display settings and report filters | Yes |
| Analytics | Shows us how the Affiliate Site is used, such as pages visited and errors, so we can improve it | Yes |
The law lets us set strictly necessary cookies without consent, because the Affiliate Site cannot provide the service you asked for without them. For all other cookies, we rely on your consent under the Applicable data privacy laws. In Malta these include the Processing of Personal Data (Electronic Communications Sector) Regulations (Subsidiary Legislation 586.01) and the GDPR.
Where a cookie collects personal data, such as an IP address or an identifier linked to your Affiliate Account, we handle that data as described in our Privacy Policy.
4. Cookies on the Affiliate Site
The table describes the types of cookie the Affiliate Site sets.
The cookie settings panel on the Affiliate Site shows the current names and providers of the individual cookies.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Battlecat Partners (first party) | Keeps you logged in as you move between pages | Strictly necessary | Session |
| Security cookie | Battlecat Partners (first party) | Protects forms and your account against forged requests | Strictly necessary | Session |
| Load-balancing cookie | Our hosting provider | Routes your requests to the same server | Strictly necessary | Session |
| Cookie-choice cookie | Battlecat Partners (first party) | Stores your cookie choices so we do not ask on every visit | Strictly necessary | 6 months |
| Preference cookie | Battlecat Partners (first party) | Remembers your language and display settings | Functional | 12 months |
| Analytics cookies | Our analytics provider | Counts visits and shows how pages are used | Analytics | Up to 13 months |
Some third-party providers may process cookie data outside the European Economic Area. Section 8 of our Privacy Policy explains the safeguards we use.
5. Affiliate tracking links
Tracking links record that a visitor arrived through an Affiliate, so that New Customers are credited to the right Affiliate Account.
When a visitor clicks an Affiliate's tracking link, the click passes through our tracking system and the visitor is taken to a Brand Website. The referral is recorded using a tracking cookie or a click identifier, which is kept only for as long as needed to credit the referral.
These tracking cookies are set for visitors to Brand Websites, not for Affiliates using the Affiliate Site. The cookie policy of the relevant Brand Website covers them.
If you are an Affiliate, you must also tell your own visitors that your links use tracking technology, and obtain their consent where the law requires it. See the Terms and Conditions and section 12 of our Privacy Policy.
6. Managing your cookie choices
You decide whether we set any cookie that is not strictly necessary, and you can change your mind at any time.
- Cookie banner: on your first visit, a banner lets you accept all non-essential cookies, reject them all, or choose by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. We set no non-essential cookies until you choose.
- Changing your choice: use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of the Affiliate Site. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything done before you withdrew it.
- Renewal: we ask for your choice again after 6 months, or sooner if we change the cookies we use.
- Browser settings: most browsers let you block cookies or delete those already stored. Your browser's help pages explain how.
If you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, you may be unable to log in or use parts of the Affiliate Site. Rejecting functional or analytics cookies does not limit your access to your Affiliate Account or your Commission.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we change the cookies we use or when the law changes. The version number and date at the top show when it was last changed.
If we add cookies that need your consent, we will ask for your choice again through the cookie banner.
8. Contact and complaints
If you have a question about how we use cookies, email info@battlecatpartners.com.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. In Malta this is the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC). Its contact details are in section 15 of our Privacy Policy.
