Cookie policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a site saves in your browser when you visit. They contain short pieces of information, for example a random session identifier or a remembered display setting. The next time you open the page, your browser reads them again.

Thanks to this, the site can remember small details between individual visits and you don't have to set everything up from scratch. A cookie is not a program in itself and cannot run any code on your device.

Related technologies, such as the browser's local storage, serve a similar purpose. For simplicity, we include them in this text under the shared term cookies.

Cookies come in two common forms. First-party cookies are set by the very site you are viewing and tend to be tied to how it works. Third-party cookies belong to other services, and we try to keep them to the necessary minimum.

What types of cookies we distinguish

We divide cookies according to what they are for. The following table summarises the main categories and their purpose without naming specific technical files.

Essential cookies cannot be switched off from within the site, because without them the page wouldn't work. Analytics and preference cookies are supplementary, and their use depends on your consent and browser settings.

We try to give every category a clear purpose. We don't use cookies to build personal profiles or to sell data to third parties.

Cookies and traffic measurement

We use analytics cookies in order to understand how the portal is used. We are interested, for example, in which pages people open, how they move between them, and where the content could be improved.

We process measurement data in aggregate form. We don't try to establish your identity from it and we don't link it to a name or contact details. It is statistics that show us trends, not specific people.

This measurement is directly connected to how we work with privacy. You will find details on data processing in our privacy policy, where we also describe just how little information about a visit arises.

If you refuse analytics cookies, the portal continues to work. We only lose part of the anonymous statistics that help us decide which topics about the Dukat.bet brand to expand and which to explain more clearly.

How long cookies are kept

The retention period differs by type of cookie. Some of them exist only during a single visit and automatically disappear when you close the browser. We call these session cookies.

Other cookies remain stored even after you close the window, so the site can remember your settings on your next visit. These more persistent cookies have a preset validity, after which they delete themselves, or you can remove them manually sooner.

We deliberately don't state specific times in hours or days, because they can change according to purpose. What matters is that you can delete any cookies at any time in your browser and start with a clean slate.

How to manage cookies in your browser

The decision about cookies is always yours. You will find most settings directly in your browser, which lets you allow cookies, restrict them to selected sites, or block them entirely.

Common options that browsers offer:

• view and delete already-stored cookies,
• block third-party cookies,
• set automatic deletion after the window closes,
• use private browsing mode.

The procedure differs slightly from one program to another. We describe the specific steps for a computer on the desktop browser page, where you will find where the cookie settings usually hide.

Bear in mind that blocking essential cookies may impair the correct display of some parts of the portal. You can refuse analytics and preference cookies without losing access to the content.

Changes to the policy and contact

We may amend this policy from time to time if the way the portal works with cookies or traffic measurement changes. The current wording is always available on this page, and for a larger revision we will state a new update date.

If something in the text isn't clear to you or you have a question about data processing, get in touch via the contact page. We'll be glad to explain how we handle cookies and what you can set yourself.
