Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy describes how ruibetencourt.com uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit our website. These technologies help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and provide insight into how pages perform. We use a minimal and practical approach designed to support usability, maintain security, and improve editorial quality without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Some cookies are temporary and expire when your browsing session ends, while others remain for a defined period so your preferences can be remembered between visits. Local storage can also store small data entries on your device for site features such as consent status and age-verification states. These technologies do not give us direct access to your device files and can be managed through browser settings.
We use essential cookies and storage entries for core website functionality. This includes remembering whether you have interacted with consent controls, preserving basic interface behavior, and preventing repeated prompts during a session where appropriate. Without these essential technologies, parts of the site may not work as intended. Because they are necessary for operation and security, essential cookies may remain active even if optional cookies are declined.
We may also use performance-oriented technologies to understand how visitors navigate pages, which sections are most useful, and where technical issues appear. These insights help us improve load speed, mobile readability, navigation clarity, and content structure. Performance data is used in aggregated or pseudonymous form where possible. We do not use cookie data to make gambling decisions on your behalf, and we do not access your casino account credentials through these tools.
Advertising and affiliate measurement may rely on link-tracking parameters when you click outbound offers. In some cases, partner systems can place their own cookies once you leave our website and arrive on an external operator domain. Those cookies are controlled by the third party, not by ruibetencourt.com. Their use is governed by the operator's cookie and privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies carefully before registering or depositing with any external service.
You can control cookie behavior in several ways. You may use our consent banner to accept or reject non-essential categories where available. You can also modify browser settings to block cookies, delete stored data, or receive alerts before a cookie is set. Please note that strict blocking may affect functionality, including page personalization and some navigation features. If you clear storage, your preferences may reset and consent prompts may appear again on future visits.
Cookie retention periods vary based on technical purpose. Session cookies are removed automatically after the browser is closed. Persistent cookies may remain until they expire or are manually deleted. We review retention logic periodically and remove or shorten entries that are no longer justified. Storage duration is aligned with operational need, compliance duties, and troubleshooting requirements, while avoiding excessive long-term persistence wherever possible.
Our website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly use cookies to profile minors. If you believe a child has provided data through this site, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action. We also monitor our tooling choices and may update this policy when legal requirements, technical implementations, or service partners change. Updated versions become effective when published on this page, and continued use indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
Where required by law, we request consent before activating non-essential technologies. You can withdraw consent at any time by changing your settings and clearing relevant storage entries in your browser. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out before the change but will apply to future visits and sessions. If you need assistance understanding or managing your cookie choices, you can contact us for guidance.
