Welcome to united4games.com, an online platform operated by United4Digital Ltd., headquartered in 71-75 Shelton Street Covent Garden, London, England, WC2H 9JQ (hereinafter referred to as "We" or the "Company").

In our ongoing effort to enhance your browsing experience, we utilize cookies on our website for various functionalities. Allow us to elucidate the nature and utilization of these cookies on our platform.

A Cookie Policy is detailing the methods by which a website or online service employs cookies and related technologies to gather and manage user data. It encompasses details regarding the types of cookies utilized, their respective purposes, guidance on managing or disabling cookies for users, and specifics concerning third-party cookies. These policies serve as crucial tools for ensuring transparency and adherence to data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. They play a pivotal role in informing users about their privacy rights and the handling of their personal data during their interactions with the website.

Some cookies, known as proprium cookies or first-party cookies, are directly conveyed and managed by us. Via these cookies, the Company gathers and handles your personal data. We aim to clarify how we gather this data, the purposes for which it is used, and your associated rights, in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR").

Conversely, other cookies, referred to as third-party cookies, are conveyed and managed by third parties. This policy provides links to the respective policies published by these third parties. We highly recommend you to carefully review these policies.

If you are unfamiliar with cookies, we kindly ask you to thoroughly read this policy alongside the general privacy policy of the Website. This will enable you to make informed choices regarding your preferences.

The Controller prioritizes the utmost protection of the privacy and personal data of its Consumers. For any inquiries related to this Cookie Policy, Consumers are encouraged to contact the Controller at any time via email at support@united4digital.com

A. Understanding Cookies and Their Purpose

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by a consumer send directly to their device (typically, to the browser), where they are stored for transmission back to the same websites during the consumer's subsequent visits (known as proprium or first-party cookies). While browsing a website, a consumer's device may also receive cookies from other websites or web servers (referred to as third-party cookies). This occurs because the visited website may contain elements, such as images, maps, sounds, or links to specific web pages from other domains, which are hosted on servers different from the one hosting the requested page. Simply put, these cookies originate from websites other than the one currently being visited.

Cookies can have a duration limited to a single browsing session on the browser (known as session cookies), which automatically deactivate once the consumer closes the browser. Alternatively, cookies may have a predetermined duration (known as permanent cookies), remaining stored and active on the hard disk until their expiration date. This allows them to continue gathering information during multiple browsing sessions on the browser.

Cookies serve various purposes. Some are essential for enabling you to navigate the Website and utilize its functionalities (referred to as technical cookies). Others are utilized to gather statistical information, either in aggregate or individually, about the number of consumers accessing the Website and how it is utilized (known as monitoring cookies or analytics). Additionally, certain cookies are employed to track your consumer profile and display advertisements that align with your preferences and consumer habits (known as profiling cookies).

To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the various categories of cookies mentioned, please continue reading this policy. Explore how each type functions and the purposes they serve. You are encouraged to freely decide whether to consent to their use or opt out accordingly.

B. Technical Cookies

These cookies are considered first-party cookies as they are conveyed directly by us on the Website. Their primary function is to enhance your browsing experience and ensure the proper functioning of the Website's features.

Technical cookies serve the purpose of memorizing your preferences, such as your selected country, to streamline your browsing experience. These are commonly referred to as functionalities cookies. Unlike session cookies, which expire once the browsing session ends, functionalities cookies are often lasting cookies. They remain stored on your computer even after closing the browser until their scheduled expiration date or until you choose to delete them.

The technical cookies currently used on the Website are as follows:

  1. Cookie's denomination: united4games-accept-cookies

However, please note that blocking the installation of technical cookies or deleting them thereafter may compromise your ability to access the Website, utilize its features in whole or in part, enable or disable certain functions, or receive certain services.

The analytics cookies on this Website are third-party cookies, as they are not directly conveyed or installed by the Company, but by third-party entities. These cookies are utilized to track how consumers navigate the Website.

The following third-party analytics may be installed on the Website without your prior consent, as they are less invasive and anonymized. Third parties cannot access disaggregated data at the IP address level, meaning they cannot identify your specific identity using these cookies:

  1. Cookie's denomination: Vercel Analytics

For this reason, a specific banner is prominently displayed when you access the Website, informing you that:

  1. Third-party analytics cookies are used on the Website.

This ensures that the cookies banner will not be displayed during your subsequent visits to the Website. However, please be aware that if you delete this technical cookie from your browser (as explained in paragraph E, No. 1), your consent tracking will be lost. Consequently, the cookies banner will reappear during your next visit to the Website.

You are entirely free to block the installation of analytics cookies at any time, and doing so will not affect your ability to visit the Website or access its contents in any way. Please carefully review the third-party cookies policies by following the links provided above to learn how to block them.

D. Profiling Cookies

Profiling cookies are utilized to generate a consumer's profile, which is based on the preferences and interests displayed by you during your internet browsing. The purpose is to display advertisements that are tailored to your profile. This allows the advertisements shown on our Website to be more relevant and of interest to you.

Your prior consent is required to install such cookies, as mandated by the current privacy law. Therefore, when you access the Website, a specific banner is displayed, informing you that:

  1. Profiling and/or third-party cookies may be used on the Website.
  2. By accepting cookies via the banner, you are providing your consent to the use of cookies.

If you provide your consent to the use of cookies in this manner, we will track your consent using a specific technical cookie. This will prevent the cookies banner from being displayed during your subsequent visits to the Website. However, please be aware that if you delete this technical cookie from your browser (as explained in paragraph E, No. 1), your consent tracking will be lost, and the cookies banner will reappear during your next visit to the Website.

You are completely free to block the installation of profiling cookies at any time, and this will not in any way compromise your ability to visit the Website and access its contents. If you choose to deactivate behavioral advertising, this does not mean that you will stop receiving advertisements on the Website. However, the banners displayed on the Website may not be tailored to reflect your interests or preferences based on the browser you are currently using.

Certain third-party cookies are installed by entities with which we do not have a direct contractual relationship. Therefore, we provide you with links to intermediary websites that contain lists of third parties installing profiling cookies and links to their privacy policies, where you can find information about their profiling cookies and how to oppose their installation (opt-out):
