1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

Cookies we use on the Ligetoria website are not designed to turn your visit into an online casino session. They simply support the smooth operation of an information-focused website that represents our real-world bistro, bar, and offline Poker Room in Hungary.

Session cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are typically used to remember selections you make during a single visit, such as keeping a simple page state or ensuring forms and navigation behave as expected. Once you close your browser, these cookies are deleted.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They help us remember your preferences (for example, cookie consent choices) so that each time you return to check our menu, events, or poker schedule, you do not have to repeat the same selections.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to keep our hospitality website simple, reliable, and welcoming for guests who are exploring Ligetoria before visiting us in person. Our main reasons include:

• Ensuring website functionality: Cookies help basic site features work correctly, such as page navigation, security protections, and simple forms (for example, the contact form on Contact Us).
• Improving user experience: Cookies allow us to understand how visitors browse the site so we can make it easier to find sections like our Bistro Menu, Poker lounge details, and Weekly Events.
• Remembering your preferences: Cookies store choices such as your cookie consent settings and, where applicable, language or region-related preferences for our Hungarian venue.

We do not use cookies to create gambling profiles or to offer any online betting services. All poker activities we describe occur exclusively in our offline Card Lounge at the Ligetoria premises.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies used on the Ligetoria website fall into the following categories:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off through our on-site tools. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as requesting a page, submitting a form, or interacting with our age restriction overlay.

• Maintain secure server sessions and protect our guests against malicious activity.
• Remember your acknowledgement of the age restriction notice where applicable to the Poker Room and Card Lounge pages like Poker and CardLounge.
• Store your core cookie consent decision so that the banner does not repeatedly appear on every page.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies collect anonymized, aggregated information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which pages are popular (for example, Cuisine or Community), how guests arrive at our site, and whether our content clearly explains that Ligetoria is a physical, offline venue.

Data collected through analytics cookies is used only to improve our website and hospitality services. We do not use it to identify you personally or to promote online gambling.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as cookie settings or the way information is displayed. This might include:

• Remembering that you have dismissed certain information banners.
• Keeping your consent preferences consistent across different pages, such as About or Privacy Policy.

4. Managing Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookies used by the Ligetoria website in several ways:

Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored on your device.
• Delete all or selected cookies.
• Block cookies from specific websites.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Set your browser to delete cookies when you close it.

You can usually find these controls in your browser's “Options”, “Settings”, or “Preferences” menu. For detailed instructions, please refer to your browser's help documentation.

Impact of disabling cookies

If you choose to block or delete cookies, the Ligetoria website will continue to function, but some features may work less smoothly. For example, you may need to re-confirm cookie consent, and certain embedded services (such as maps showing our location) may be limited or require manual activation.

5. Cookie Consent Mechanism

When you first visit the Ligetoria website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom or top of the page. This banner explains, in clear language, that we use cookies and provides you with the opportunity to accept or adjust your preferences where applicable.

Our consent mechanism is designed to:

• Inform you about the types of cookies we use and the purposes they serve.
• Allow the use of essential cookies, which are required for the site to function, even if other cookies are declined.
• Store your consent state in a dedicated cookie so we can honor your choices during future visits.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings and, where made available, revisiting our on-site cookie settings tools.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Ligetoria website may be set by third-party providers to support features that help guests find and visit our physical bistro and poker lounge.

Examples may include:

• Analytics services: Tools that help us measure anonymous visitor statistics, such as which pages receive the most attention and how often guests consult our Events calendar.
• Embedded map services: Where we embed a map to show our location, the map provider may set cookies to deliver and improve the map experience and to prevent abuse.

These third-party cookies are governed by the respective provider’s cookie and privacy policies, which may differ from ours. We recommend that you read those policies for details about how your data is handled by each third party.

We do not permit third parties to use cookies on our site for online gambling or betting services. All poker-related experiences we describe are conducted exclusively at our offline Card Lounge inside the Ligetoria venue.

7. Data Protection and Privacy

Cookies can, in some cases, be linked to information that may be considered personal data under applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Where cookies collect or are associated with personal data, we handle that data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains:

• The categories of personal data we may process.
• The purposes for which we use personal data.
• The legal bases we rely on, including legitimate interests and consent.
• Your rights as a data subject under Hungarian and EU law.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard any personal data that may be linked to cookies, ensuring that your online interactions with our website remain aligned with the safe, respectful hospitality we offer in our physical bistro, bar, and poker lounge.

8. Cookie Duration

Different cookies remain on your device for different periods of time. In general:

• Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain for a predefined period, which may range from a few hours to several months, unless you delete them earlier.

The duration of persistent cookies is set according to their purpose. For example:

• Essential security or authentication-related cookies are kept only as long as necessary to maintain safe sessions.
• Analytics cookies may be retained for a period that allows us to observe meaningful trends in how visitors discover and use pages such as Menu, Poker, and Community.
• Preference cookies (such as consent choices) may be kept for a longer period so that you do not have to repeat your selections every time you revisit the site.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the way we run our neighborhood bistro and Poker Room website.

When we make significant changes, we will:

• Update the text of this page.
• Revise the “last updated” date below.
• Where appropriate, display a notice on key pages such as the homepage or show an updated cookie banner.
