What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to site owners about how visitors interact with their content.

When you visit https://urbanpont88.com, cookies can be stored on your browser to:

• remember technical details needed to load pages quickly and reliably,
• help keep your session secure while you move between sections such as the Menu or Events pages,
• understand which parts of the site are most useful, so we can improve our content for future guests, and
• remember certain preferences, such as language or consent settings.

Almost every modern website uses cookies or similar technologies. On urbanpont88, we use them strictly to improve usability, service performance, and security — never to operate any form of online gambling or remote play. Our focus remains entirely on our land‑based, offline bistro and poker lounge experience in Hungary.

Types of Cookies We Use

To support a fast, reliable, and user‑friendly website, we group our cookies into the following categories:

Where required by law, non‑essential cookies (such as analytics or certain functional cookies) are only activated once you have provided your consent through the cookie banner or similar controls on the site.

Essential Cookies Explained

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without them, certain core features would not function properly, and you may not be able to access key areas or use important tools.

On urbanpont88, essential cookies may be used to:

• remember your cookie consent options so the banner does not reappear on every page load,
• help maintain the technical security of the site by detecting unusual or malicious activity,
• enable navigation between pages such as Menu, Location, and Contact Us without repeatedly re‑authenticating or losing the context of your visit, and
• support accessibility‑driven layout behavior so that core content remains usable across devices.

Because these cookies are necessary for the service you request (browsing and using our website), they generally do not require your explicit consent under applicable regulations, although we still describe them here for transparency.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with urbanpont88 so that we can keep content relevant, improve navigation, and maintain strong site performance.

These cookies may, for example, collect anonymized information on:

• which pages are visited most frequently (such as the Events Calendar or About page),
• how visitors arrive on the site (for example, through search engines or direct visits),
• approximate device and browser types used to view our content, and
• aggregate engagement trends, such as the average time spent on articles.

Performance and analytics cookies are configured so that they do not identify you personally. Data is either anonymized or aggregated. Where required by law, these cookies are only placed on your device if you have granted consent through our cookie banner or similar settings.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over how cookies are used on your devices. You can modify, accept, or reject cookies at any time using the tools built into your browser or device.

Depending on your setup, you can usually:

• block all cookies,
• allow cookies only from certain websites,
• delete cookies when you close your browser, and
• review and remove specific cookies that have already been set.

Instructions for managing cookies can typically be found in the “Help” or “Settings” menu of your browser. For convenience, you can look up guidance for popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on their official support pages.

Please note that if you block or delete essential cookies, some parts of https://urbanpont88.com may not function correctly. For example, navigation to key sections like Menu, Poker, or Location might degrade, and some preference‑based features may be unavailable.

Third‑Party Cookies on urbanpont88

In certain cases, third‑party cookies may be set when you visit urbanpont88. These cookies are controlled by external providers and are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Third‑party cookies may appear when we, for example:

• embed a map service on the Location page to help you find our physical bistro and poker lounge in Hungary, or
• use an analytics platform to understand overall site usage and improve our articles and event information.

We select third‑party providers that commit to robust privacy and security practices. However, we do not control how these third parties use their cookies once they are set. Where required, we will seek your consent before enabling third‑party cookies that are not strictly necessary for the website to function.

For more information about how third‑party services handle your data, we recommend reviewing their respective privacy and cookie policies, which are typically accessible directly from their websites.

Data Retention & Security

Cookies have different lifespans, which can range from being deleted when you close your browser (session cookies) to remaining on your device for a defined period (persistent cookies). At urbanpont88, we aim to keep cookie durations proportionate to their purpose and no longer than necessary.

In practice, this means:

• essential cookies are retained only for as long as required to provide secure, stable access to the website,
• performance and analytics cookies are configured with retention periods that allow us to observe meaningful trends without storing data indefinitely, and
• functional cookies are limited to reasonable time frames that match the convenience they provide.

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any data associated with cookies from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. This includes secure server configurations, restricted access, and regular monitoring of the overall security posture of https://urbanpont88.com.

For further details on how we handle personal data more broadly, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
