Cookie Policy

The site is deliberately light on third-party scripts. We do not run advertising networks, we do not embed social widgets that drop their own cookies, and we do not include third-party video players that phone home. The only outside connection on a normal page is a small analytics tag whose data stays on our server; it does not share with a global ad exchange. When you follow a link to Zentra Bet, the operator sets its own cookies on its own domain — those are the operator's responsibility and are covered in the operator's privacy policy. If a browser extension on your side adds its own trackers to pages you visit, those are not under our control either; the extension's own privacy page should tell you what it is doing. We review the list of outbound requests on every page at each quarterly audit, and anything we did not expect is flagged and investigated the same week.

If we add a new category of cookies, change the storage duration of an existing one or start working with a new processor, the change goes live on this page first, and a visible notice sits above the policy for thirty days afterwards. We also re-stamp the "last updated" line under the H1 so you can tell at a glance whether the policy you remember is the one in force today. Minor edits (typographic, wording clarifications) are not announced on the top of the page, but the date is still updated. If a material change requires a fresh consent choice — for example, if we ever added a new tracking category — the banner would re-appear even for readers who have already accepted the current set, and your previous answer would not carry forward. We would rather ask one more time than inherit a consent that was given for a different set of cookies.

The consent banner at the bottom of the first screen lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or inspect categories one at a time and choose per category. The choice is remembered for 180 days; after that we ask again, in case your mind has changed. You can also manage cookies at the browser level: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all have an option to block cookies by default, to clear them on exit, or to delete the ones already stored. If you clear cookies, the consent banner will ask you again on your next visit — that is how the browser is supposed to work, not a bug on our side. On mobile, both Safari (iOS) and Chrome (Android) now let you choose a stricter default for all sites at once; that setting overrides any individual decision you made on our banner, and it is a good baseline if you share the device with family. For users who want a one-click reset at any time, a "Review cookies" link sits in the footer of every page and re-opens the banner on demand.

The site uses four cookies in total. `cookie_consent` records your choice from the banner (duration: 180 days, purpose: show or hide the banner). `locale` stores the language preference if you switch (duration: one year, purpose: deliver the right language on the next visit). `_pk_id` is an anonymous analytics identifier used to count unique visitors over a day (duration: 13 months, purpose: aggregate traffic reports). `_pk_ses` is a short-lived companion to the above used to tie page views into one visit (duration: 30 minutes). None of these cookies store personal data; none are shared with third parties. The analytics pair is dropped only if you accept non-essential cookies on the banner; `cookie_consent` is strictly necessary and would be set even if you declined everything else, because it is how the site remembers that you declined. The analytics identifier is a random string, not derived from your IP, your name or any other personal attribute — if you cleared cookies and came back tomorrow, you would be counted as a new visitor.

A cookie is a short text file a website leaves on your device so it can recognise you on your next visit. Most cookies are harmless utility — they remember your language, keep you logged in, or tell the site which theme you chose. Some cookies are built for tracking: they follow you across sites, build an advertising profile and sell the profile to networks. The law requires us to describe which category each cookie belongs to and to ask for your consent before dropping anything beyond the strict minimum needed for the site to work. That is what the banner is for. The categories commonly used across the web are: strictly necessary (the site cannot work without them, no consent required by law), functional (improve the experience without tracking), analytics (count visits and aggregate behaviour), advertising (follow a user across sites to serve targeted ads). We use only the first three; we do not use the fourth. If that balance ever changed, we would say so on this page and in the banner before the change took effect.
