COOKIE POLICY

 

This Cookie Policy explains how Tandem (“Tandem”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://www.tandem.pro/ (the “Website”) or use online services that link to this Cookie Policy. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

Tandem is an iGaming advertising and performance marketing platform operating from Hungary. Depending on the service you use, cookies and similar technologies may support Website functionality, account security, analytics, campaign measurement, attribution, fraud prevention, personalization and advertising.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They may allow a website to recognize your browser or device, remember settings, maintain a session, measure usage or support other functions.

We may also use technologies that perform similar functions, including pixels, tags, web beacons, scripts, SDKs, local storage and other device or browser identifiers. References to “cookies” in this Policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.

2. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE MAY USE

• Strictly Necessary Cookies. These are required for the Website or a service requested by you to function properly. They may support page navigation, secure areas, authentication, session management, load balancing, consent preference storage, security and fraud prevention. Where permitted by applicable law, these cookies are used without consent because the relevant service cannot operate properly without them.
• Analytics and Performance Cookies. These help us understand how visitors use the Website, which pages or features are used, how users arrive at the Website, and whether technical or performance issues occur. We use this information to improve the Website and our services. Where consent is required, these cookies are activated only after you consent.
• Functionality Cookies. These remember choices or settings, such as language, region, interface preferences or other features, so that we can provide a more convenient or personalized experience. Where required by law, they are used only with your consent.
• Advertising and Marketing Cookies. These may be used to measure advertising campaigns, limit repeated advertising, build or use audience segments, understand campaign effectiveness, or show content or advertising that may be more relevant to you. These cookies may be set by Tandem or by third-party advertising partners and are used only where permitted by law and, where required, after your consent.
• Attribution and Affiliate Tracking Cookies. In connection with certain Tandem campaigns or partner services, cookies or similar identifiers may be used to attribute a visit, registration, conversion or other agreed action to a traffic source, campaign or partner. Where such tracking is not strictly necessary for a service expressly requested by the user, it is activated only where the required consent or other applicable authorization has been obtained.

3. FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

First-party cookies are set by or on behalf of Tandem through the Website. Third-party cookies are set by external service providers or partners whose technology is integrated into the Website or relevant services.

Third parties may include, depending on the configuration of the Website and services at a given time:

• analytics and website measurement providers;
• advertising and media platforms;
• affiliate, attribution and campaign-tracking providers;
• security, anti-fraud and abuse-prevention providers;
• content, hosting, communications or technical service providers.

The precise third parties and cookies used may change over time. Where available, the current list, purposes and lifetimes of cookies are shown in the Cookie Settings or consent management interface on the Website. Third parties may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies where they act as independent controllers.

4. LEGAL BASIS AND CONSENT

For users in the European Economic Area and other jurisdictions with similar rules, Tandem applies the requirements of applicable data protection and electronic communications laws, including the GDPR and applicable national rules implementing the ePrivacy framework.

• Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are required to provide a service expressly requested by you or are otherwise exempt from consent requirements under applicable law.
• Non-essential cookies, including analytics, functionality, advertising and non-essential attribution cookies, are used only after obtaining consent where consent is required by applicable law.
• Where cookie-derived information constitutes personal data, the subsequent processing of that personal data is carried out on an appropriate legal basis as described in our Privacy Policy.

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. You may refuse non-essential cookies without losing access to core Website functionality, except where a particular feature genuinely depends on a cookie that is necessary to provide that feature.

5. COOKIE BANNER AND PREFERENCE MANAGEMENT

When you first visit the Website, where required by law, our cookie banner or consent management tool may allow you to:

• accept all non-essential cookies;
• reject all non-essential cookies;
• choose cookies by category; and
• review additional information about the cookies and technologies used.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Settings control made available on the Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

We may store a strictly necessary consent-preference cookie or similar record so that the Website can remember your choices. We may ask you to renew your preferences periodically, or sooner where our cookie practices materially change.

6. BROWSER AND DEVICE CONTROLS

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and to control how websites store information on your device. Browser settings differ, so you should consult the help or privacy settings of your browser for instructions.

If you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Website or Platform may not function correctly, and you may be required to sign in again or reset preferences.

Some browsers or devices may also provide privacy signals or tracking-prevention mechanisms. Where applicable law requires Tandem to recognize a legally binding browser or device signal, we will process that signal accordingly. Other signals, including “Do Not Track” settings, may not have a uniform legal or technical standard and therefore may not always be interpreted in the same way by all services.

7. INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH COOKIES

Depending on the cookie or technology, information may include:

• IP address or truncated/pseudonymized IP information;
• browser type, operating system, device type and technical identifiers;
• pages visited, buttons or links clicked, timestamps and session information;
• referring and destination URLs;
• language, region and similar preferences;
• campaign, partner, source, click or attribution identifiers;
• conversion or event information associated with a campaign;
• security, fraud-prevention and abuse-detection signals; and
• consent choices and cookie preference records.

Where this information can identify or relate to an identifiable person, it is treated as personal data and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8. COOKIE RETENTION

Cookies may be session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier. We aim to keep cookie lifetimes proportionate to their purpose.

Specific cookie names, providers and retention periods may be displayed in the Cookie Settings panel or other cookie information interface on the Website. If the Website introduces or removes a provider, these details may be updated without requiring changes to the general descriptions in this Policy.

9. COOKIES USED FOR CAMPAIGN AND AFFILIATE SERVICES

Tandem may provide campaign measurement, attribution or affiliate-related services to business partners. In this context, a click or other event may contain a campaign identifier, partner identifier, click identifier or similar pseudonymous reference used to determine whether an agreed action should be attributed to a particular source.

The way a particular Advertiser, Affiliate, Traffic Partner or other business partner uses cookies or similar technologies on its own websites, applications or services is governed by that party’s own legal obligations and policies. Tandem does not authorize partners to deploy cookies or tracking technologies unlawfully or without any consent required by applicable law.

Business partners are responsible for ensuring that any required notices and consents are provided and obtained before sending Tandem personal data or device-derived information through tracking, postback, attribution or campaign systems.

10. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some providers supporting cookies or similar technologies may process information outside Hungary or the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, Tandem applies the transfer safeguards described in our Privacy Policy, as applicable.

11. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Depending on your location and the nature of the processing, you may have rights in relation to personal data collected through cookies, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection, as well as the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

More information about these rights, how to exercise them, and how to contact the relevant supervisory authority is provided in our Privacy Policy.

12. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Website, technologies we use, our services, our business practices or applicable law. The updated version will be published on the Website and the Effective Date will be revised. Where required by law, we will request renewed consent before using newly introduced non-essential cookies.

Questions concerning personal data may also be submitted using the contact method specified in our Privacy Policy.
