For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” means DRAGO BROS LTD, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 16604927, with its registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom, operating the Drago2 game service. For the purposes of this Cookie Policy we are the data controller; you can find our full details in our Privacy Policy. We use cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information about your device and your use of the game (the “Game”) and of our websites at drago2.com, board.drago2.com and guide.drago2.com (the “Websites”, together with the Game, the “Services”). You can find out more about cookies and how to control them below.
1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your browser or device when you visit a web address. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web address on each subsequent visit, or to another web address that recognises that cookie. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to website owners.
Cookies do many different jobs, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering that you are logged in, and generally improving your experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have used the Services before, or whether you are a new visitor. Cookies also help us safeguard the security of your account and detect cheating, automation and fraud against our Services.
First party cookies are cookies set directly by the operator of the website you are visiting — in most cases here, that is us. Third party cookies are set by an external service used by that website, and can be read by that external service.
Cookies remain on your device for different periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and allow the Services to recognise your device when you return.
2. How do we use cookies?
We use cookies to:
- verify your log-in details and maintain a secure session while you are signed in to your account;
- protect the Services and your account against fraudulent, automated or abusive activity, including cross-site request forgery;
- operate and administer the Services, including the forum and the guide;
- remember your preferences, such as your chosen language and display settings;
- understand traffic flow and how visitors move through our Websites, in aggregate;
- diagnose faults and improve the stability and performance of the Services; and
- provide support when you contact us.
3. What types of cookies do we use?
The cookies we use fall into two categories: essential cookies and analytics and performance cookies. The table below sets out the cookies actually placed by our Services, what they do and how long they last.
| Name and type | What it does and what data it processes | Duration | First or third party |
|---|---|---|---|
ci_sessionEssential |
Maintains your signed-in session on drago2.com and links your requests to your account. Stores a random session identifier, not your credentials. | 2 hours | First |
csrf_snrtrPanelEssential |
Security token used to verify that form submissions genuinely originate from our own pages, protecting your account against cross-site request forgery. | 2 hours | First |
wsc_*_user_sessionEssential |
Maintains your signed-in session on the forum at board.drago2.com and remembers forum display preferences. | Session | First |
XSRF-TOKENEssential |
Security token for the forum, serving the same anti-forgery purpose as above. | Session | First |
drago2-policy-langEssential (local storage) |
Remembers the language you selected on this policy centre so that you are not returned to a different language on your next visit. Stored in your browser’s local storage; never transmitted to us. | Until you clear it | First |
drago2_themeEssential (preference) |
Remembers whether you chose the light or dark appearance, and shares that choice across drago2.com, board.drago2.com and guide.drago2.com so the sites do not change appearance as you move between them. Stores only the word “light” or “dark”; it identifies nothing about you and is not used for analytics. | 1 year | First |
_ga, _ga_*, _gidAnalytics |
Google Analytics 4. Distinguishes visitors and sessions so that we can produce aggregate statistics on how the Websites are used, which pages are visited and where errors occur. Processes a randomly generated identifier, your truncated IP address, approximate location, device and browser information, and the pages you view. | Up to 24 months (_ga), 24 hours (_gid) |
Third (Google) |
__cf_bm, cf_clearanceEssential |
Placed by Cloudflare, which protects our Websites against automated attacks and distributed denial of service. Distinguishes human visitors from bots and keeps the Websites available. | 30 minutes to 1 year | Third (Cloudflare) |
The Google Analytics properties in use are G-Q09V3Y9SC4 and G-JRXLXSXJ53 on drago2.com and G-WB7WYZT367 on guide.drago2.com. Google acts as our processor for this purpose. You can read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
4. Information provided through cookies
For the purposes set out in section 3, cookies used on our Services may collect:
- your IP address (truncated before storage in the case of analytics);
- the date and time you connected to the Websites;
- your approximate location, derived from your IP address at country or city level;
- how long you spend on the Websites;
- information about the device, operating system and browser you use;
- your language settings and preferences;
- the pages you visit and the links you click; and
- the website that referred you to us, where applicable.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell or share cookie data with advertising networks. No advertising or social media tracking pixels are placed by our Services.
5. Legal basis for using cookies
Essential cookies are placed because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested — signing in, keeping your account secure, and keeping the Websites available. These do not require your consent.
Analytics and performance cookies are placed on the basis of your consent, which you may give or refuse when you first visit the Websites and may withdraw at any time. Where you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, this reflects the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Where you are in Türkiye, it reflects Article 5 of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK).
6. Control of cookies
You can control cookies in several ways.
Through your browser. Most browsers allow you to see which cookies are stored, delete them individually or in bulk, and refuse cookies altogether. The relevant settings are usually found under “Privacy” or “Cookies and site data”. Please be aware that if you block essential cookies, you will not be able to sign in and parts of the Services will not work.
Through Google’s opt-out. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across all websites by installing the browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
By contacting us. If you would like to know exactly what is stored against your account, or want analytics data associated with you deleted, write to [email protected] and we will action your request as described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices, our Services or the law. When we do, we will revise the effective date shown at the top of this page. Where a change materially affects how we use cookies or the information they collect, we will draw it to your attention through the Services before it takes effect, as required by applicable data protection law.
