Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how GameEthos, located in Palo Alto, California, uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at pixelcanvaasstudios.com . It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can do many different things, such as remembering your preferences, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, and generally improving your experience. They can also help to ensure that advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code. They also cannot be used to spread viruses or malware. They are simply text files that store data about your browsing activity.
There are different types of cookies:
- First-party cookies: These are cookies that are set by the website you are visiting directly.
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. This typically happens when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as social media plugins or advertising networks.
- Session cookies: These cookies expire when you close your browser and are typically used to remember what you put in your shopping cart or to keep you logged in during a single session.
- Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple browsing sessions.
How We Use Cookies
At GameEthos, we use cookies for a variety of reasons, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.

- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
- Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies to understand how users interact with our website, helping us to improve its functionality and content. These cookies may track things like how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit which helps us to understand what content is most engaging for our users.
