Cookie Policy

The cookies placed by ocbet.casino fall into three categories, listed below from "needed for the site to work at all" to "entirely optional".

• Session cookies. Small, short-lived cookies that disappear when you close the browser tab. They are used to keep the state of the page coherent across clicks — for example, so that a navigation preference set on the current page survives until you leave. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking parts of the site, because they are the site working.
• Preference cookies. Longer-lived cookies that remember a choice you made on an earlier visit — a cookie-banner answer, a language fallback, a dismissed notice. These cookies are convenient rather than necessary, and they are not used to identify you.
• Analytics cookies. Cookies set by a privacy-focused analytics tool that counts visits in aggregate. They are used to answer questions like "how many readers opened this article yesterday", not to track an individual across the web. Where supported by the tool, the IP address used for the measurement is anonymised at source.

We do not place advertising or retargeting cookies on this site, and we do not host social-media widgets that would set a third-party cookie on your device without your action.

A cookie is a small piece of text that a website asks your browser to store on your device. On your next visit, the browser sends the cookie back to the site that set it, which allows the site to recognise a returning visitor and to keep settings between pages.

There are a few useful distinctions between cookies. A session cookie lives only for the current browser session and vanishes when you close the tab. A persistent cookie survives longer — from a few minutes to several months — and is used for remembering preferences across visits. A first-party cookie is set by the domain you are visiting; a third-party cookie is set by a service embedded into the page, such as an analytics tool or a social-media widget, and modern browsers are increasingly restrictive about them.

Cookies are not programs and cannot run code on your device. The information they carry is limited to what the site itself places into them. In practice that means a cookie can keep a boolean ("the user dismissed the banner"), a short identifier that groups anonymous page views into a single session, or a preference value ("dark mode"), and little more.

Every modern browser lets you review, limit and delete the cookies on your device, and the controls sit in the browser's settings regardless of which website set the cookie. In Chrome and Edge, open Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, the equivalent panel is Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. In Safari on macOS, Safari → Settings → Privacy. On mobile, the same menus are available in the browser's own settings.

From these panels you can block third-party cookies entirely, delete all cookies for a specific site, block cookies from a specific site going forward, or clear everything on quit. Private-browsing or incognito windows automatically discard cookies at the end of the session.

A browser-level ad-blocker or privacy extension such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger adds another layer of control by preventing many analytics and advertising cookies from being set in the first place. If you prefer the strictest option, both the browser settings and an extension can be combined.

If you block the cookies we classify above as essential, parts of ocbet.casino may not work as intended — a preference may not persist from page to page — but the editorial content of the site will remain readable.
