This page explains how cookies work on Ucobet, what information gets stored when you visit, and how you can control which ones stay active. We keep the technical jargon to a minimum – you'll find plain explanations of what happens behind the scenes and what it means for your privacy.
What cookies actually do on this site
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It helps the site remember things like your language preference or whether you've already dismissed a notification banner. Cookies don't contain personal details like your name or payment information – they store only the data needed to keep the site functioning or to measure how visitors interact with it.
Some cookies disappear the moment you close your browser; others stick around for weeks or months so the site can recognise you on your next visit. Each one has a specific job, and you'll see exactly which ones we use below.
The cookies this portal sets
We use a small number of cookies to keep the site running smoothly and to understand how people use it. Here's what each category does:
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keep the site functional – load balancing, security checks, session management | Session or up to 24 hours |
| Analytics | Track visitor counts, popular pages, bounce rates – helps us improve content | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Remember your choices – language, cookie consent status | Up to 1 year |
Necessary cookies run automatically because the site won't work properly without them. They handle things like keeping you logged into the content management system if you're an editor, or remembering that you've already dismissed the cookie notice.
Analytics cookies require your consent. We use them to see which articles get the most traffic, how long people spend reading, and where visitors drop off. The data is aggregated – we don't track individual journeys or tie activity to a name.
Preference cookies store choices you've made, like declining analytics or choosing a language. Without them, you'd see the cookie banner on every visit.
Third-party scripts and embedded content
Some pages carry content hosted elsewhere – embedded videos, social media buttons, or analytics tools run by companies other than us. Those services may set their own cookies when you load the page, and their privacy policies govern how that data is used.
We use Google Analytics to measure site traffic. Google processes the data under its own terms, which you can review at policies.google.com/privacy. You can block Google Analytics specifically by installing the browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If a page embeds a YouTube video, Google sets cookies the moment the video frame loads – even if you don't press play. The same applies to Twitter timelines, Instagram posts, and similar widgets. We don't control those cookies; the platforms do.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies. The exact steps vary slightly, but the principle is the same: you decide which ones stay and which ones go.
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From here you can block all cookies, block third-party ones only, or clear cookies already stored.
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose Standard, Strict, or Custom tracking protection, and clear data whenever you like.
Safari: Preferences → Privacy. Tick "Block all cookies" to stop new ones, or click "Manage Website Data" to remove existing ones site by site.
Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions. Block or allow cookies, and clear browsing data from the same menu.
Good to know: blocking necessary cookies may break parts of the site – forms might not submit, pages might not load correctly, and your language preference won't stick. Analytics and preference cookies are safe to block without affecting functionality.
What happens when you decline cookies
If you refuse analytics cookies through our banner, we won't track your visit. The site still works – you can read every article, follow every link, and contact us without any loss of features. The only thing that changes is we won't know you were here.
Declining preference cookies means the banner appears every time you visit, because the site has no way to remember that you've already answered. Necessary cookies stay active regardless – they're not optional, because the site can't function without them.
You can change your mind at any time. Most browsers let you delete cookies retroactively, and our banner (if still visible) lets you adjust your consent without digging through settings.
When this policy changes
We review this page whenever we add a new feature, integrate a third-party tool, or update the analytics setup. Changes appear here first, with the revision date at the bottom. There's no email notification – checking back now and then is the way to stay current.
Big changes – like switching analytics providers or adding a new category of cookies – get flagged at the top of the page for a few weeks so regular visitors notice.
