Certain technologies are used on our Website to collect data about your visit or use as stated below:

• Cookies
  
  
• The Website uses so called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on our visitors’ computers and are possible to use to monitor what a visitor does on the Website.
  
  
• There are two types of cookies: 1) a persistent cookie remains on the visitor’s computer for a fixed time; 2) a session cookie is stored temporarily in the computer’s memory while the visitor is on the website. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser.
  
  
• GameStop uses the following cookies:

Name and type of cookie	Purpose and additional information	Deletion
Google Analytics, __utma, persistent cookie.	This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit to a site from that web browser. If the cookie has been deleted by the browser operator, and the browser subsequently visits a site, a new __utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to a site and it is updated with each page view. Additionally, this cookie is provided with a unique ID that Google Analytics uses to ensure both the validity and accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure.	2 years.
Google Analytics, __utmb, persistent cookie.	This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with a site. When a user views a page on the site, the Google Analytics code attempts to update this cookie. If it does not find the cookie, a new one is written and a new session is established. Each time a user visits a different page on the site, this cookie is updated and expire in 30 minutes. You can modify the default length of a user session with this method: _setSessionCookieTimeout().	30 minutes.
Google Analytics, __utmc, session cookie.	Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to determine whether or not to establish a new session for the user. For backwards compatibility purposes with sites still using the urchin.js tracking code, this cookie will continue to be written.	When the session ends.
Google Analytics, __utmz, persistent cookie.	This cookie stores the type of referral used by the visitor to reach a site, whether via a direct method, a referring link, a website search, or a campaign such as an ad or an email link. It is used to calculate search engine traffic, ad campaigns and page navigation within the Website. The cookie is updated with each page view to the Website.	6 months.
Google Analytics, __utmv, persistent cookie.	This cookie passes the information provided via the _setVar() method, which is used to create a custom user segment. This string is then passed to the Google Analytics servers via the utmcc parameter.	2 years.
Google Analytics, __utmx, persistent cookie.	When the optimizer script executes, this cookie stores the variation the visitor is assigned to for each session, so the visitor has a consistent experience on the site. See the Website Optimizer Help Center for more information.	18 months.
Inloggning, .ASPXAUTH, session cookie/persistent cookie.	This is used by the ASP.NET framework to define whether a user is logged in or not. If you choose not to tick “Rembember me” when logging in, the cookie is a session cookie.	2 days (if ”Rembember me” is ticked).
Sessions-ID, ASP.NET_SessionsId, session cookie.	This is set by the ASP.NET framework and it identifies uniquely the user session on the server; it’s used by the framework to pass information between server requests.	When the session ends.
Load balancing, AWSALB, persistent cookie.	This is used by the load balancer to make the session “sticky”, so that user is always sent to the same server.	7 days.
