Cookie Policy
RataPlay relies on cookies to enhance your experience. This policy explains their function and how to manage them. We seek your active consent before activating non-essential cookies, in line with current best practice.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit our site. They remember your preferences, enable essential functionality, and—with your permission—support our analytics and marketing programmes.
A cookie can be set either by the site itself (first-party cookie) or by a third-party provider (third-party cookie).
2. Categories of cookies
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are vital to the site's core functionality. Because they enable basic operation, consent isn't required and the site cannot function without them.
- **kjb_consent** — stores your cookie preference choice so you won't see the banner repeatedly. Held for: 12 months.
- session-id — a server-side session identifier. Retained for the duration of the session.
2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)
We use analytics cookies solely when you consent via the banner, allowing us to understand visitor behaviour and improve site content and experience.
- _ga, _ga_*** (probable Google Analytics) — anonymised visitor metrics. Kept for up to 13 months.
If you do not accept analytics cookies, these will not be set in your browser.
2.3 Marketing cookies (optional)
RataPlay currently does not use marketing cookies, which require your consent to enable targeted advertising. If this changes, we'll notify you first and update this policy.
3. Giving and withdrawing consent
The first time you arrive at the site you will see a cookie banner with two choices:
- **'Accept all'** — agree to analytics and marketing cookies (where applicable).
- 'Essentials only' — only strictly necessary cookies are set.
Your browser keeps this selection for 12 months. To change your preference, clear the site's cookies and the banner will appear again when you next visit.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also manage cookies directly from your browser. In most browsers you can:
- view and delete stored cookies;
- block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites;
- set the browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Guides for the most common browsers:
- **Chrome:** Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause issues with the site.
5. Retention
RataPlay retains its own cookies for up to 12 months maximum, whilst session cookies expire when you close your browser. Retention periods vary as detailed above.
6. Updates to this policy
We update our cookie policy as required—for instance, when launching new services or adapting to legal shifts. Any substantial changes appear on the site, with the most recent revision date shown at the top of this page.
