Cookie Policy
You have the right to transparency on how we use data about you. We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy for an explanation of our organization as a data controller and the information we collect from you. This Cookie Policy is meant to help you understand what cookies are, and how and why we use them on our site.
Our use of Cookies
These files will be stored in your browser if you visit our website – Winbet. We will only place them if we receive your consent to do so, except to the extent such cookies are needed for the functioning of the site. We use stored data files to optimize your experience and to ensure that our site runs as smoothly as possible. They are used to helping us improve how the site works.
Although tracking files do not usually incorporate personally identifiable information, we may link the cookie information that we obtain to personally identifiable information that you have previously provided to us. Please visit our Privacy Policy for more information on the personal data we process.
About Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device by the websites you access. These are used to remember your actions and preferences over time, e.g., login credentials, language, font size, and display preferences on the website. This makes sure that you do not have to put the details every time you visit or switch pages. These files are used to make the browsing experience better and to enable more efficient navigation. They can also make online marketing more relevant to your interests.
Types of Cookies by Lifespan
They can be divided into two types based on how long they last:
- Session: These are deleted when the user closes the browser. They only work while the browser is open;
- Persistent: These stay on the user’s device for a set time. They help the website remember the user when they come back, making it easier to use the site and keep personal settings without signing in again.
Types of Cookies by Domain
Cookies can be grouped by where they come from:
- First-Party: These are created by the website you are visiting. They belong to the same website;
- Third-Party: These come from a different website, not the one you are visiting. This happens when a webpage includes content (like a JavaScript file) from another site.
Types of Cookies by Storage Location
They can be kept in different places, depending on their type:
- Browser: These come from a website and are saved in the user’s browser. Only that browser can use them;
- Flash: Also called local shared objects, these are saved outside the browser. They can store more information and can be used by different browsers on the same computer.
Other technologies
Other technologies also help store similar information aside from cookies. These consist of data within your web browser or device, device-associated identifiers, and other computer software. All of these technologies are collectively referred to as ”cookies” in this policy.
Which Cookies we use and their Purpose
We employ cookies, as outlined below, to facilitate your experience on our site. An overview of the files we use, their functions, and their sources:
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are important for our website to work properly. They allow basic functions like moving between pages and accessing secure areas. These files also help the site load quickly and run smoothly. They protect the site by recognizing trusted visitors and blocking bots to stop spam.
These stored data files do not collect personal information or connect to your user ID. We suggest keeping them on, as turning them off may cause some parts of the website not to work correctly.
Preference and Functionality Cookies
Preference cookies help the website remember your choices, like your language or location. They also make it easier to use certain features, such as watching videos, leaving comments, or joining live chats.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies collect anonymous information to help us understand how people use our website. These stored data files show us things like how many visitors we have, where they come from, which pages they look at, what they do on the site, how long they stay, and their general location. This helps us make the website better.
Sometimes, the data is shown as heat maps (which highlight popular areas on a page) or as anonymous screen recordings. All the information is combined or hidden to protect your privacy. We mainly use Google Analytics, Clicky, Microsoft Clarity, and Visual Web Optimizer. We might also use other tools to learn more about how people use the website.
Third-Party Cookies
When you visit our website, other companies may place cookies on your device. This can happen for different reasons — for example, if we hire them to provide services for us, or if our website shows their content, like ads, videos, or news. Your browser connects directly to their servers to load this content, so they can set or read their cookies and track what you do online across different websites. Sometimes, these stored data files are needed to track affiliate links and make sure affiliate agreements work correctly.
How to adjust your Cookie preferences
You can adjust the cookie settings at any point. Depending on your preferences, you may also opt to disable these files.
