What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when a website loads. They contain identifiers that help the site recognize your browser, maintain a session, and apply settings you select. Some cookies are set directly by this domain, while others originate from third parties that provide analytics or embedded services. Cookies may be session-based and expire when you close your browser, or persistent and remain until they reach a defined end date.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies to support site functionality and measurement.
- Strictly necessary: enable core features like page navigation, load balancing, and fraud checks. These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly.
- Functional: remember choices such as language, region, and user interface preferences to provide consistent settings on future visits.
- Performance and analytics: collect aggregated, pseudonymous metrics on visits, clicks, and error rates so we can diagnose issues and refine content.
- Advertising and affiliation: measure the performance of campaigns and, where applicable, limit how often a message is shown.
- Security: detect unusual activity and help prevent misuse of forms and services.
Legal Basis and Consent
Where required by law, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies. You can grant, decline, or later adjust consent through our on-site controls. Strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interests, because the site would not function properly without them.
Consent choices apply to rainbet-ie.com and may also apply to subdomains that share the same consent tools. If you clear your browser data or use a different device or browser, you may need to set your preferences again.
Managing Cookies
You are in control and can manage cookies in two ways.
- Use our consent banner or settings panel to opt in or out of non-essential categories.
- Adjust your browser controls to block, delete, or limit cookies. Popular browsers provide help pages on cookie management and private browsing.
Note that blocking certain cookies may affect how pages load or how preferences are saved. Essential functions such as session continuity may not work as intended if all cookies are disabled.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages may include content, analytics tags, or widgets from third parties. These partners place their own cookies to deliver services, compute aggregated metrics, or attribute traffic. Third-party cookies are governed by the policies of those providers. You can limit their use via our consent settings where available, or through browser-level restrictions.
Cookie Lifespan and Scope
Session cookies expire when you end your session. Persistent cookies last longer and have a fixed lifetime that typically ranges from a few minutes to two years, depending on purpose and provider. Expiration is coded into each cookie.
Cookies set on rainbet-ie.com are intended for use on this domain and compatible subdomains. They cannot access data on unrelated sites. Identifiers stored in cookies are not used to directly identify you but may be linked with other data you provide according to the site’s Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect technical changes, legal requirements, or improvements to our services. Updates take effect upon publication on this page. Material changes will be highlighted through the site interface or an updated notice within the consent tool.
