What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser on your first visit. The next time you open the page, your browser sends them back, so the site can remember your settings or recognise that you have been here before. In themselves they are not programs and they run nothing on your device.
Most modern sites use cookies, because without them the page could not hold on to even simple things — for example a remembered language or a closed notice. A file usually contains a name, a value and an expiry date, after which it removes itself.
This page is an information page devoted to an overview of the Dukat.bet brand and its features. That is why our use of cookies is modest too and serves mainly the correct running of the site and its anonymous measurement. How we process personal data in general is described in the privacy policy.
The types of cookies we distinguish
We divide cookies by what they are for. Essential files are needed by the site for its basic operation, and without them parts of the site would not display correctly. Analytics and preference cookies add to your comfort, but they are not necessary for the page itself to display.
| Type |
What it is for |
Example of use |
| Essential |
basic running and security of the site |
remembering cookie consent, technical session |
| Analytics |
anonymous measurement of traffic |
number of visits, which pages are read |
| Preference |
remembering your choices |
display language, closed notice |
Essential cookies are always stored, because without them the site would not work. Analytics and preference files are optional, and you can limit their use at any time directly in your browser, as described below.
Analytics and preference cookies in more detail
Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used — which sections interest people and where, on the other hand, they lose their way. We process this data in an aggregated and anonymous form, so we cannot identify a particular person from it. It serves to make the content about the Dukat.bet brand gradually clearer.
Preference cookies remember small choices that make it easier for you to return to the site. Typically this is a chosen language, or the fact that you have already closed an information bar and do not want to see it every time you open the page.
Neither of these types is needed for the page to load at all. If you block them, the site remains functional — you only lose some of the convenience, for example a remembered language. The decision is always yours and can be changed at any time.
How long cookies are kept
By how long they last, we distinguish two kinds of files. Session cookies exist only during a single visit and disappear the moment you close the browser window. Persistent cookies remain even after you close it and are deleted either once their validity expires or when you remove them by hand.
The length of validity is set by the file itself and differs according to its purpose. Essential and preference cookies tend to be short- to medium-term, while analytics files may have a longer validity so as to capture repeat visits too. The exact values depend on the specific file and may change over time.
What matters is that none of these files stays on your device forever. Each has its own expiry, and you can delete them all sooner at any time — either by clearing your browsing history or in the cookie settings.
How to manage cookies in your browser
You have full control over cookies in your browser. In its privacy settings you can view existing files, delete them individually or in bulk, and decide whether and which new ones may be stored. You can make the change at any time and independently of this page.
The procedure differs slightly by browser, but the principle is the same:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage website data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
You can also use private browsing mode, in which cookies are not kept after you close the window. If you block absolutely all files, including the essential ones, parts of the site may not behave as expected — but that is true of most sites on the internet, not just this one.
If you have a question about how we work with cookies, get in touch through the contact page. We are glad to add the details.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to consent to cookies for the site to work?
Essential cookies are needed for the basic running of the site and are always stored. Analytics and preference files are optional — if you refuse them, the site remains functional, you only lose some of the convenience.
How do I delete cookies that are already stored?
Open the privacy settings in your browser and choose the option to delete cookies and site data. Alternatively, clear your browsing history. You can also remove the files individually for a specific site.
Do you collect my personal data through cookies?
We process analytics cookies in an anonymous and aggregated form, so we cannot identify a particular person from them. How we approach personal data in general is described in the privacy policy.
How long will cookies stay on my device?
Session cookies disappear when you close the browser, while persistent ones are deleted once their validity expires or when you remove them by hand. No file stays stored forever.
