A. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your Internet browser. We and our
third-party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies to help us
understand things like what web pages, features, or ads you view and what games
you play. This information helps us keep track of your shopping cart, measure
the effectiveness of our advertising, make sure you don't see the same ad
repeatedly, and otherwise enhance your experience.
We may use tracking pixels or clear GIFs to collect information about
your use of our Services and your response to our marketing emails. We use
Internet log files (which contain technical data such as your IP address) to
monitor traffic on our Services, troubleshoot technical problems, detect and
prevent fraud, and enforce our User Agreement.

technologies in our Services. These technologies may utilize the same cookies or
similar mechanisms as further described below.

across different websites, mobile apps and devices to tailor offers and
advertising to your interests. For instance, you may be presented with an offer
for a game we think you might enjoy. Or, if you express interest in a game, you
may receive an advertisement later for that game or similar Services on DF.
