Quick Summary (TL;DR)

GPDS Game Shop is a Philippine digital top-up platform founded in 2018 that sells discounted in-game currency, vouchers, and digital products for Mobile Legends, Honor of Kings, Genshin Impact, Valorant, and other popular games. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on gpdsgameshop.com, why we use them, who sets them, and how you can control them. It is governed by the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

In short, GPDS Game Shop uses four categories of cookies: strictly necessary, functional, analytics, and advertising. We use Google Analytics 4 for traffic measurement, and Meta Pixel, Google Ads, and TikTok Pixel for advertising. Cookies on GPDS Game Shop never store your password, full credit card number, CVV, OTP, or game account login credentials. You can disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings or through the platform-specific opt-out links in Section 7.

1. Introduction

GPDS Game Shop ("GPDS," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at https://gpdsgameshop.com to deliver our top-up service, secure your transactions, understand how visitors use our pages, and run targeted advertising for our gaming community in the Philippines.

This Cookies Policy is a standalone document that describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes they serve, the third parties that set cookies through our site, and how you can manage them. For a broader explanation of how GPDS Game Shop handles personal data outside of cookies, please see our Privacy Policy.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device — your computer, mobile phone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on later visits and remember information about your activity, such as the items in your cart or your preferred language.

Throughout this policy, the word "cookies" also covers similar tracking technologies, including pixels (also called tracking pixels or web beacons — invisible images that record when a page or email is loaded), local storage and session storage (data saved by your browser without using a cookie file), and software development kits (SDKs) (code embedded in mobile applications that performs similar functions).

Cookies can be classified by duration. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, such as 30 days, 13 months, or 2 years, until they expire or you delete them.

Cookies can also be classified by origin. First-party cookies are set by GPDS Game Shop directly when you visit gpdsgameshop.com. Third-party cookies are set by services we work with, such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Cloudflare, when their code runs on our pages.

3. How GPDS Game Shop Uses Cookies

We use cookies on gpdsgameshop.com to keep you signed in to your GPDS account, maintain the contents of your cart during checkout, secure your transactions and detect fraud, remember your language and currency (PHP) preferences, measure how visitors find and use our site so we can improve performance, deliver advertising on Facebook, Instagram, Google Search, YouTube, and TikTok, measure the performance of those advertising campaigns, and detect bots, abuse, and unusual account activity.

Cookies on GPDS Game Shop never store your account password, full credit or debit card number, CVV or CVC code, OTP or verification code, bank account number, or game account login credentials. Sensitive data of that kind is handled by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processors during the transaction itself and is not written into any cookie on your device.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies on gpdsgameshop.com into four categories, defined by purpose.

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for GPDS Game Shop to function and cannot be disabled. They allow you to log in to your account, add items to your cart, complete checkout, maintain a secure session across pages, and protect against cross-site request forgery and other attacks. Common examples include session ID cookies, authentication tokens, and CSRF tokens. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make to give you a better experience. They store your selected language, your currency setting (Philippine Peso, PHP), recently viewed games such as Mobile Legends or Honor of Kings, and similar preferences. Disabling these cookies will not break the site, but you may need to reset your preferences each time you visit.

4.3 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with gpdsgameshop.com so we can improve performance, content, and the top-up checkout flow. GPDS Game Shop uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure traffic sources, the pages you view, the time you spend on each page, the device and browser you use, and the broad geographic region you are visiting from. Data is aggregated and used to identify trends rather than to identify you personally. Google Analytics retention is set to a maximum of 26 months, after which event data is automatically deleted.

4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies (Meta Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok Pixel)

Advertising cookies allow us to run and measure marketing campaigns across major platforms used by Filipino gamers. GPDS Game Shop uses the Meta Pixel for Facebook and Instagram advertising, Google Ads for Google Search, YouTube, and the Google Display Network, and the TikTok Pixel for TikTok advertising. These cookies measure how visitors arrive at our site, track which ads lead to top-up purchases, build audiences for retargeting (for example, showing you a discount on Mobile Legends diamonds after you have viewed our MLBB top-up page), and exclude existing customers from acquisition campaigns to reduce wasted ad spend.

5. Third-Party Cookies on Our Site

When you visit GPDS Game Shop, the following third parties may set cookies through our website. Each operates under its own privacy and cookie policies.

Google LLC sets cookies through Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads for analytics and advertising purposes. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and you can adjust personalized advertising preferences at https://adssettings.google.com.

Meta Platforms, Inc. sets cookies through the Meta Pixel to measure Facebook and Instagram advertising performance. Meta's privacy policy is available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy and you can manage personalized ad settings at https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

TikTok (ByteDance Ltd.) sets cookies through the TikTok Pixel to measure TikTok advertising performance. TikTok's privacy policy is available at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy and you can manage personalized ad settings inside the TikTok app under Settings → Privacy → Personalized Ads.

Cloudflare, Inc., which provides our website security and content delivery services, may set cookies to identify trusted traffic and protect against denial-of-service and bot attacks. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

Other third parties may set cookies if you click external links on our site, such as social media buttons, embedded videos, or partner pages. We do not control those cookies, and we encourage you to review the relevant third-party policies before interacting with them.

6. Data Collected Through Cookies

Cookies on GPDS Game Shop may collect your IP address (typically truncated for privacy where supported), browser type, version, and language, device type, model, and operating system, screen resolution and timezone, pages you visit on our site and the time spent on each, the website or advertisement that referred you to gpdsgameshop.com, your interactions with our pages, buttons, and ads, and pseudonymous advertising identifiers used by Google, Meta, and TikTok.

This data is used for four purposes: site functionality (keeping you logged in and your cart intact), analytics (understanding traffic and improving the site), advertising measurement (knowing which ads work), and security (detecting bots, fraud, and abuse). The data is processed under the lawful bases of contract performance, legitimate interest, and consent, in line with Republic Act No. 10173.

7. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have several ways to control cookies on GPDS Game Shop, and you can use any combination of them.

Browser settings. All major browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. Instructions for the most popular browsers are available at the following links: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, and Brave. On mobile devices, cookie controls are usually inside the browser app's privacy or site settings.

Platform-specific opt-out tools. You can opt out of personalized advertising on the platforms we use directly. For Google personalized ads, visit https://adssettings.google.com. For Meta personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram, visit https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. For TikTok personalized ads, open the TikTok app and go to Settings → Privacy → Personalized Ads.

Industry-wide opt-out tools. Two industry coalitions allow you to opt out of behavioral advertising across many participating networks at once: the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page and the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Private or incognito browsing. Most browsers offer a private or incognito mode that limits cookie storage to the duration of the session. This is a fast way to prevent persistent tracking on a single visit.

Mobile advertising identifiers. On Android devices, you can reset or delete your advertising ID under Settings → Google → Ads. On iOS devices, you can disable Allow Apps to Request to Track under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using GPDS Game Shop, but it may affect your experience. For example, you may need to log in more often, your language and currency preferences may not be remembered, and the advertising you see on other sites may be less relevant to your interests as a gamer.

8. Mobile App Tracking

When the GPDS Game Shop mobile application launches, similar tracking technologies — including SDKs from Google, Meta, and TikTok — may be used inside the app to provide the same analytics and advertising functions described in this policy. This Cookies Policy will be updated when the app is released, and additional in-app controls will be made available where required.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites you visit. There is currently no universal industry or legal standard for how websites must respond to DNT signals, and the major analytics and advertising platforms we use do not honor DNT by default. As a result, GPDS Game Shop does not act on DNT signals. You can still control tracking on our site through any of the methods described in Section 7.

10. Cookies and Children

GPDS Game Shop is intended for users who are at least eighteen (18) years old. GPDS Game Shop does not knowingly use cookies to profile or target advertising to children under thirteen (13). If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may use our services only with the verifiable consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Parents or guardians who believe a child has used our services or had cookies set on their device may contact us at [email protected] for assistance, and we will take prompt action to address the concern.

11. Your Rights

Under the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have rights over the personal data collected through cookies on GPDS Game Shop. These rights include the right to be informed about how your data is used (which this policy provides), the right to access the data we hold about you, the right to object to processing for marketing or analytics purposes, the right to request correction or deletion of your data, the right to data portability, and the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.

To exercise any of these rights, send a request to [email protected] with your full name, registered email, and the specific right you wish to exercise. GPDS Game Shop responds to verified requests within fifteen (15) business days, with a possible extension of up to fifteen (15) additional days for complex requests.

If you believe your rights have been violated and you are not satisfied with our response, you may file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines at the 5th Floor, Philippine International Convention Center, Vicente Sotto Avenue, Pasay City 1307, by email at [email protected], or through their website.

12. Updates to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and tracking technologies we use, changes in our service providers, or changes in legal or regulatory requirements. When we update this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page, increment the version number, and for material changes, post a prominent notice on gpdsgameshop.com.
