This cookie policy explains how Bet365 – specifically the editorial site at bet365-offiziell.com.de – uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our pages. It covers what we store on your device, why, and how you can control it. It does not cover the cookies set by the Bet365 operator's own platform; those are governed by their separate privacy documentation.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a web server. When you return to a page, your browser sends that file back, letting the site recognise your session, remember your preferences, or count your visit anonymously. Cookies cannot execute code or access files elsewhere on your device.
We set cookies for three distinct purposes: keeping the site functional, understanding how pages are used, and, where you have consented, personalising the content we show. The table below maps each category to what it does and how long the data persists.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security tokens, language preference | No | Session or up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregate page-view counts, navigation paths, device type | Yes | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing & advertising | Interest-based content, frequency capping | Yes | Up to 12 months |
| Preference | Remembering your cookie-banner choice, display settings | No (stores your decision) | Up to 12 months |
Necessary cookies
These run without your consent because the site cannot function without them. They handle your active session, protect form submissions against cross-site request forgery, and store the language you selected. Disabling them in your browser settings will break navigation.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics to understand which pages attract the most readers and where visitors leave. The data is aggregated – we see that a page had 400 visits from mobile devices in a week, not who those visitors were. We do not use analytics data to build individual profiles. These cookies are only set after you accept them via the consent banner.
Marketing and advertising cookies
Where we display third-party advertising, those partners may set their own cookies to limit how often you see the same advertisement and to measure whether you clicked through. We do not sell your browsing data to advertisers. These cookies require your explicit consent and are not activated until you give it.
Scripts we do not control
Some pages embed content from external services – video players, social sharing widgets, or analytics platforms – that set their own cookies independently of ours. Once those scripts are loaded, their data practices fall under the third party's own privacy policy, not this one.
We limit the number of third-party scripts on this site and review them periodically. Where a script is non-essential we load it only after consent. Even so, we cannot guarantee that a third party will not update their own cookie behaviour between our reviews.
Declining without breaking the site
You can use bet365-offiziell.com.de with only necessary cookies active. Declining analytics and marketing cookies means we collect no data about your browsing patterns beyond what the session itself requires. A handful of features – such as interest-based content recommendations – will not be personalised, but all editorial content remains fully accessible.
Your consent choice is stored in a preference cookie so that you are not asked again on every visit. You can withdraw consent at any time by reopening the cookie banner (link in the site footer) and updating your selection.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies independently of our banner. The steps differ slightly by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies at the browser level will affect every site you visit, not only this one. If you clear cookies after accepting analytics, our banner will reappear on your next visit because the preference record has been deleted.
Updates to this policy
We revise this policy when we add new scripts, change third-party partners, or when data-protection law changes in a way that affects how we operate. The date at the foot of this page reflects the most recent revision. We do not send individual notices for minor wording corrections; material changes – for example, a new category of cookie or a new advertising partner – are flagged on the consent banner for a short period after publication.
Questions about this policy or about a specific cookie you have seen on this site can be directed to [email protected]. We aim to reply within 48 hours.
