Cookies Policy
What we store on your device, and why
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies GAMEDRP LTD uses on gameodrop.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Change your choice at any time
You can review or withdraw your consent whenever you like.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences — such as the contents of your basket or whether you are signed in — across pages and visits.
We also use technologies that work in a similar way, and we treat them the same as cookies in this policy:
- Local storage and session storage — larger data stores inside your browser, used for interface state.
- Pixels and web beacons — tiny images or scripts that record that a page or an email was opened.
2. The categories we use
Strictly necessary Always active
These cookies are required for the website to function. They keep your basket and your login session working, remember your cookie choice, protect the checkout against fraud and bots, and balance server load. The site cannot be provided without them, so they do not require your consent and cannot be switched off here.
Analytics Optional
These help us understand how visitors find and use the store — which pages are viewed, which searches return no results, where checkout is abandoned. The results are aggregated and used to fix problems and improve the catalogue. They are only set if you accept them.
Marketing Optional
These are used to measure the performance of our campaigns and to show you relevant offers for games on other sites and social platforms. They may be set by our advertising partners and can be used to build a profile of your interests. They are only set if you accept them.
3. Cookies we set

4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by companies that provide services to us, or by content embedded in our pages:
- Cloudflare — bot protection and Turnstile challenges on forms and at checkout (strictly necessary).
- Our payment service providers — fraud screening and secure payment pages (strictly necessary).
- Mailchimp (Intuit) — newsletter sign-up and email open and click tracking (marketing).
- YouTube — where a game trailer is embedded in a page. We load YouTube only after you accept marketing cookies, or when you click to play.
- Social networks — Facebook and Instagram, where a share or follow element is present (marketing).
We do not control third-party cookies. Please see each provider’s own cookie and privacy notice for details.
5. How to manage cookies
On our site
Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit, or the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. You can accept everything, reject everything optional, or choose category by category. Your choice is remembered for 12 months and applies to this browser and device.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies:
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the basket, the checkout and the sign-in process. Deleting cookies also deletes your saved cookie preference, so the banner will appear again.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends it, optional cookies are treated as rejected unless you later choose otherwise in our cookie settings.
6. Legal basis
We set strictly necessary cookies on the basis that they are essential to provide the service you have requested, as permitted by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the EU ePrivacy Directive. All other cookies are set only with your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
7. Changes to this policy
We review this policy whenever we add or remove a service that uses cookies, and at least once a year. The “Last updated” date above shows the current version.
