This website, its related and connected sites that link to this Policy (the “Site”) is operated by Riot Games Merchandise, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Riot Games”). For purposes of this Agreement (defined below), “you” and “your” mean the user of the computer interacting with the Site.

This Riot Games Cookie Policy (this “Policy”) explains the different types of cookies and tracking that may be applied during your visit to the Site.

I. WHAT IS A COOKIE?

“Cookies” are small pieces of data (often text files) that are placed on your computer or device by the websites you visit. As a standard feature of major browser applications, cookies are widely used to make websites work or operate more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of those websites about users’ browsing experiences. When users return to those same websites again, their browser sends the previously-stored cookies back to the website, which allows it to recognize the user and remember important information to make his or her use of the website more personalized or convenient (e.g., by remembering the user’s saved preferences).

Although cookies serve many valuable functions, some users may prefer not to allow them or to limit their use by the websites they visit. Many browsers give you the ability to manage cookies to suit you by changing your browser settings. For example, some browsers will allow you to set up rules to manage cookies on a site-by-site basis, which gives you the ability to disallow cookies from websites that you do not trust. More information about cookies and details of how to manage or disable them can be found on http://www.allaboutcookies.org and/or http://www.aboutcookies.org.

PLEASE NOTE: if you choose to disable cookies on the Site, your experience may be diminished and some of the Site’s features and/or functionality may not work as intended.

II. WHAT COOKIES DOES THE SITE USE?

Like many popular websites today, the Site uses different kinds of cookies to run properly. Depending on the nature of your interactions with us, some or all of types of cookies identified below may be stored in your browser by Riot Games and its service providers and business partners. Additional information about the choices that may be available to you with respect to the Site’s use of cookies and similar technologies can be found in How Do I Manage Cookies? below.

A. Essential Cookies. “Essential Cookies” are critical to supporting the Site’s intended functionality. They allow our visitors to do things like move around the Site, use its core services, and access its key features. Without these Essential Cookies, the Site will not perform as smoothly for you as we would like it to, and we may not be able to provide the Site or certain related content, services, and/or features you request.

Process Cookies and Security Cookies are two examples of Essential Cookies that may be used on the Site. Process Cookies make the Site work by supporting and/or delivering services that our visitors expect, such as being able to navigate between the Site’s pages or accessing secured portions. Security Cookies provide necessary checks and controls to protect the Site and its visitors. Among other things, they help us to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of access credentials, and maintain the confidentiality of user data.

Preference Cookies allow us to better personalize your Site visit(s), including by remembering your preferred region, language, or display settings.

Preference Cookies on the Site may store information like your selected language and geographic region to help us show you appropriate options and display content accordingly when you return to the Site. For example, by remembering your region and language, the Site may be able to provide you with local articles, and do so in your local language. We may also use Preference Cookies to capture your preferred audio and visual settings (e.g., text size, font, resolution, etc.), reference websites, the sequence of pages within the Site that you visit, and other similar details about your browsing behavior and/or choices about how the Site behaves or looks.
