Third-Party Cookies
Our websites will set several types of third-party cookies, and we do not control the operation of any of them. All of the third-party companies value the security of your personal information. Examples of third-party cookies which may be set include:

Temporary vs Persistent Cookies
We use both temporary session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your web browser's help information.
We set persistent cookies to store your game account login and/or password, so you don't have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to detect new users, and track referrals to the site to reward existing users who tell their friends about our games.
