Types of cookies
Proprietary and third-party cookies: Our websites use proprietary and third-party cookies. This distinction refers to the domain that installs the cookie on your device. Proprietary cookies are installed by the website you are visiting (e.g., cookies installed by GearboxSoftware.com). Third-party cookies are installed by a different domain than the Internet site the user is visiting. If a user visits a site and a third-party entity installs a cookie on the user's device through the visited site, the cookie is considered a third-party cookie.
Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain on a user's device for the period of time specified in the cookies themselves. They are activated each time the user visits the site that installed the cookies themselves.
Session cookies: These cookies allow the operators of the sites visited to link a user's actions during a browsing session. The browsing session begins when a user opens the browser window and ends when the user closes the browser window. Session cookies are temporary. Once the browser is closed, all session cookies are deleted.
