(hereinafter referred to as the Cookie Policy or the Policy)

Effective Date: May 17, 2023

This Policy applies to cookies used by the website https://top-mc-servers.net/ and its sub-sites (hereinafter referred to as Website). The owner and operator of the Website is the data controller identified in section 1. The processing activities described in this Policy apply to visitors of the Website (hereinafter referred to as Visitors or Data Subjects).

hereinafter referred to as the Data Controller

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to the Visitor's device (e.g. mobile phone, laptop) during browsing for the expiry time set in the cookie. Cookies do not harm the user's device, and the owner and operator of the Website does not have access to any password or data stored on the device of the data subject even if cookies are enabled. The Visitor can therefore browse the website and use the online services of the website operator in complete safety even if cookies are accepted. Cookies contain information generated in relation to the device used by the Visitor, but this does not allow the Data Controller to directly identify the Visitor.

The Visitor can, naturally, ensure at any time that no cookies are placed on the device used by him by configuring his browser accordingly. Most of the web browsers provide a help function which will explain how to ensure that the user's browser does not accept new cookies, and how to delete and block existing cookies. For more information on this, please see section 4 of this Policy.

3. Types of cookies

According to their purpose (function), the following cookies can be distinguished:

  • Technical cookies are used to ensure the technically correct and smooth operation of the Website. Without these cookies, the smooth and proper use of the Website cannot be guaranteed.
  • Functional cookies ensure the convenient and smooth operation of the Website and facilitate its use. These cookies enable the website to remember the mode of operation chosen by the user (e.g. accepting the use of cookies, so that the user does not need to accept the cookie settings repeatedly at each visit). Without the information contained in these cookies storing the user’s preferences, the Website may function less conveniently and smoothly.
  • Analytical cookies collect statistical information about the Visitor’s use of the Website, such as the subpages viewed or the length of time spent on each subpage. The purpose of these cookies is to optimise and improve the website and its content and functions, thereby improving the user experience and ensuring the provision of an adequate level of service.
  • Marketing cookies are used to display targeted, personalized advertising on various advertising platforms (e.g. Google), with the aim of displaying relevant and attractive advertisements to individual users.

Based on their expiry date, there are session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are only temporarily stored on the device of the user (e.g. computer, notebook or mobile device) and their validity is limited to the user's current session. At the end of the session or when the browser is closed, this type of cookie is automatically deleted from the visitor's device. In contrast, persistent cookies are stored on the browsing device of the user after leaving the website and enable the website to recognize the Visitor as a returning visitor. The retention period of the data in the cookie in this case can vary from a few days to years, but may be deleted by the visitor at any time. These cookies are used to store user preferences, such as the user accepting cookies.

Based on their origin, there are first-party cookies and third-party cookies. If the cookie is installed on the Data Subject's device by the web server of the Data Controller, it is a first-party cookie, which is not shared with other websites or advertising partners. By contrast, if the source of the cookie is a code embedded in the website by an external service provider (e.g. Google), it is a third-party cookie. Its primary function is to track user activity online and then display advertisements based on that activity.
