Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply website operators with analytical information about how their sites are being used. Cookies are stored by your web browser and can be read by the website that created them on subsequent visits. Each cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originated, the lifespan of the cookie, and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique identifier. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They serve as a memory mechanism for websites, allowing them to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others persist on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them (persistent cookies). The use of cookies is an industry standard practice employed by virtually all modern websites.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

atlantis-treasure.org uses several categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose. Below is a detailed breakdown of the cookie types deployed on our website and their functions.

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic security features. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without severely impacting your ability to use the site. Examples include cookies that maintain your session state as you navigate between pages and cookies that implement security measures to protect against cross-site request forgery.
• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies, primarily through Google Analytics, to collect anonymized and aggregated data about how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate through the site, and where users may encounter difficulties. The information gathered includes the number of visitors, the pages they visit, the time spent on each page, the source that referred them to our website, and the device and browser they are using. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information solely to improve the content, structure, and performance of atlantis-treasure.org.
• Advertising and Affiliate Cookies: Our website contains affiliate links to licensed online casino operators. When you click on these links, affiliate tracking cookies may be set by our affiliate partners or their tracking platforms. These cookies record the fact that you arrived at the casino website via a link on atlantis-treasure.org and enable our affiliate partners to attribute any subsequent registration or activity to our referral. We do not control the cookies set by third-party affiliate networks or casino operators, and their use is governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of those third parties.
• Preference Cookies: Preference cookies, also known as functionality cookies, allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred language or region, font size settings, or other customizable elements of the user interface. These cookies enhance your browsing experience by personalizing the website to your preferences so that you do not need to reconfigure settings each time you visit. Preference cookies are not essential for the website to function but contribute to a smoother and more tailored experience.

3. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or receive a notification each time a cookie is being set so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis. The method for managing cookies varies by browser. In Google Chrome, navigate to Settings then Privacy and Security then Cookies and Other Site Data. In Mozilla Firefox, go to Settings then Privacy and Security then Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, open Preferences then Privacy then Manage Website Data. In Microsoft Edge, go to Settings then Cookies and Site Permissions. Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of atlantis-treasure.org may not function as intended. Essential cookies, if blocked, may prevent the website from loading correctly or cause errors during navigation. Analytics data collection will stop if you block analytics cookies, which does not affect your experience but does limit our ability to improve the website based on usage data. You may also opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to the cookies we set directly, certain cookies may be placed on your device by third-party services integrated into our website. We do not have direct control over third-party cookies, and their use is subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties. Third-party services that may set cookies through atlantis-treasure.org include Google Analytics, which sets cookies to track and analyze visitor behavior across our website, and affiliate tracking platforms used by the casino operators we recommend, which set cookies to attribute referrals and track conversions. If we embed any content from external platforms such as video players or social media widgets in the future, those platforms may also set their own cookies. We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website. We regularly audit the third-party services integrated into atlantis-treasure.org and remove or replace any services that do not meet acceptable standards of data protection and transparency.

5. Cookie Duration

The lifespan of cookies used on atlantis-treasure.org varies depending on their type and purpose. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session state during a single visit to the website and do not persist between browsing sessions. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period or until you manually delete them. Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics typically have a duration of up to 24 months. Preference cookies that store your language or display settings may persist for up to 12 months to ensure your preferences are remembered between visits. Affiliate tracking cookies set by third-party casino partners generally have a duration ranging from 30 to 90 days, depending on the specific affiliate program and its terms. You can view and delete individual cookies stored on your device at any time through your browser's cookie management interface.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and atlantis-treasure.org does not currently alter its data collection or tracking practices in response to DNT signals from browsers. However, you can manage your tracking preferences through the cookie controls described in Section 3 of this policy, which provide more granular and effective control over the cookies stored on your device. We will continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and may update our practices in the future if a broadly accepted technical standard emerges.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in our data practices, updates to applicable laws and regulations, or improvements to our website. When we make changes to this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to check this Cookie Policy periodically so that you remain informed about our use of cookies. Material changes that significantly affect your privacy rights or the types of cookies we deploy will be highlighted through a notice on our website. Your continued use of atlantis-treasure.org after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
