What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device when you visit. They let the site remember things between pages and between visits, such as that you are logged in or which currency you chose. On their own they are harmless snippets of data, but used well they are what turns a clunky website into a smooth one. Similar technologies, including local storage and tracking pixels, do comparable jobs, and this policy covers all of them under the single word cookies for simplicity.
Lama bet uses cookies to keep the casino working properly, to remember your settings, to understand how the site is used, and, where you agree, to show you offers that are actually relevant. This page explains each type, why we use it, and how you can switch the optional ones off without breaking the parts of the site you need.
The Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies do the same job. We group ours into four categories so you can see exactly what each is for.
| Category | What it does | Can you disable it? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps you logged in, holds your session, secures the cashier and enables core navigation. | No — the site cannot run without these. |
| Functional | Remembers preferences such as language, currency and layout so you do not reset them each visit. | Yes, though some convenience is lost. |
| Analytics | Collects anonymised data on how pages and games are used so we can improve the experience. | Yes. |
| Marketing | Helps show promotions relevant to your interests and measures whether they are useful. | Yes. |
Why Essential Cookies Cannot Be Switched Off
Essential cookies are the plumbing of the site. They keep you securely signed in as you move between the lobby, the cashier and the games, they protect against certain kinds of fraud, and they hold the temporary session that lets a deposit or a bet complete without dropping halfway. Because these are needed for the casino to function at all, they are set automatically and cannot be turned off from within the site. They do not track you across other websites or build an advertising profile; their job begins and ends with making Lama bet work.
Functional, Analytics and Marketing Cookies
Beyond the essentials, the optional cookies improve the experience but are not strictly required. Functional cookies remember the small choices that make return visits smoother, such as keeping the site in your language and currency. Analytics cookies gather anonymised, aggregated information, which pages are most visited, where players run into friction, how new features perform, so we can make the site better without ever identifying you personally.
Marketing cookies are the ones most people care about. Where you have agreed, they help us tailor the promotions you see and measure whether an offer was relevant, so you get fewer irrelevant messages rather than more. You are never obliged to accept these, and turning them off does not reduce your access to games, bonuses or the cashier. Consent is yours to give and yours to withdraw.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You stay in control of the optional cookies. When you first visit, the consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential categories, and you can revisit that choice at any time through the cookie settings on the site. Beyond our own controls, every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies from its privacy or settings menu, and you can set it to warn you before a cookie is stored.
Bear in mind that blocking all cookies, including the essential ones, will stop parts of the casino from working, since you may not be able to stay logged in or complete a transaction. Clearing cookies also resets your saved preferences, so you will need to choose your language, currency and consent options again. How your personal data is handled more broadly is set out in our privacy policy, linked in the footer.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookies fall into two groups by lifespan. Session cookies exist only while you are actively using the site and vanish the moment you close the browser tab; they handle short-lived jobs such as keeping a deposit flow intact from start to finish. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period, anything from a few days to many months, so the site can remember you between visits, for example keeping your chosen language and currency without asking again each time.
The length a persistent cookie lasts depends on its job. A preference cookie might live for a year so your settings survive a long gap between sessions, while an analytics cookie may expire far sooner. Whatever the duration, you can delete cookies at any point through your browser, which resets the clock and clears the stored data. Doing so simply means the site treats you as a first-time visitor until the relevant cookies are set again.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Not every cookie is set by us directly. First-party cookies come from the Lama bet domain and cover the core jobs of running your account and remembering your preferences. Third-party cookies are placed by the trusted services we integrate, such as analytics tools that help us understand site usage in aggregate, or measurement tags that tell us whether a promotion reached the right audience. These operate under their own privacy terms, and we work only with providers that meet appropriate standards.
We do not use cookies to build intrusive profiles or to track you around the wider internet for its own sake. The third-party cookies we allow exist to keep the site working well, to measure performance honestly, and, where you have consented, to make marketing more relevant rather than more frequent. You can decline the optional categories without losing access to the games, the cashier or any part of the core service.
Why Cookies Benefit You
It is easy to think of cookies as something done to you rather than for you, but the everyday reality is more practical. Without them, you would have to log in on every page, re-enter your currency each visit, and lose your place in the cashier if a step timed out. Cookies are what make the site feel continuous rather than a series of disconnected screens, and the security cookies in particular are a quiet line of defence against certain kinds of account fraud.
The optional cookies add convenience and relevance on top of that foundation, and you decide how much of it you want. Our aim is to be transparent about what each cookie does so the choice is genuinely yours, informed rather than buried in legal text. If anything on this page is unclear, our support team can explain how a specific cookie is used and help you set your preferences the way you want them. We would rather you understood and chose your settings than clicked accept out of habit, so the controls are kept simple and the explanations plain.
