Cookie policy
This document explains what cookies Riobet Guide uses, what they are for, and how to turn them off. Cookies on this site serve two jobs: to keep the pages working and to give us anonymised statistics.
A cookie is a small file that remembers your settings
A cookie is a small text file that the site saves in your browser on your first visit. On your next visit, the browser returns it to the site. That is how the site "knows" you have been here before and remembers the settings you chose - the theme, say, or a banner you closed. Cookies contain no viruses and give no access to the files on your device. Most of them store an anonymised identifier, not your personal data.
The site uses three types of cookie, and only one is required
Necessary cookies provide the basic functions: they remember your agreement with this notice and your interface settings. The site does not work properly without them, so they cannot be turned off through the banner. Analytics cookies collect anonymised visit statistics through third-party services. Affiliate cookies record a click on an affiliate link so the operator credits the commission correctly. The last two types are optional - the site reads fine without them.
For reference
Types of cookie on the site and what they do
Category, purpose, and retention period. The specific file names depend on the connected services.
| Type | Purpose | Can be turned off | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Site operation, memory of consent and interface settings. | No | session-12 mo |
| Analytics | Anonymised statistics on visits and on-page behaviour. | Yes | up to 26 mo |
| Affiliate | Recording a click on an affiliate link to calculate the commission. | Yes | up to 30 days |
You can turn off cookies in your browser in a minute
Managing the files is entirely on your side. Every browser has a privacy section where cookies can be deleted or blocked - by site or in full. In Chrome this is "Privacy and security", in Firefox "Privacy and Security", in Safari "Privacy". You can switch on a mode that erases cookies after each session. Note: if you block necessary cookies entirely, some site functions will stop working, while analytics services can be turned off without any loss of convenience.
You give consent yourself and can withdraw it
On your first visit, the site shows a notice about its use of cookies. By continuing to browse or by accepting the notice, you consent to the optional categories. You can withdraw consent at any time - clear the cookies in your browser, and on your next visit you will be asked to choose again. Necessary cookies are set regardless of consent, because the site does not function without them. For more on data processing, see the privacy policy.
