Lamabet Cookie Policy
Cookies are a quiet but essential part of how any modern website works, and Lamabet is no exception. This page explains what they are, the kinds we use, the reasons behind each one, and how you can take control of them in your own browser. The aim is to be plain about a subject that is often left vague, so you can decide what you are comfortable with while still enjoying the casino and sportsbook.
Lamabet is an online casino and sportsbook for players in Canada. Some of the technologies described here are needed simply to keep you logged in and your account secure, while others help us understand how the site is used so we can make it better. Where the law requires your agreement before a non essential cookie is set, we ask for it.
What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. The next time you visit, the browser sends that file back, which lets the site recognise your session, remember what you chose, and behave consistently instead of treating every click as a stranger. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses, and the ones that matter for your account hold identifiers rather than your name or your balance in readable form.
Alongside cookies, sites use a few related tools that do similar jobs. Local storage keeps small pieces of information in your browser so a page can load your preferences quickly. Pixels and tags are tiny markers that help measure whether a page or feature was used. Throughout this policy, when we say cookies we mean this wider family of small storage and measurement technologies, not just the classic text file.
How Lamabet uses cookies
We group the cookies on the site into clear categories, each with a defined job. The table below sets them out.
| 🍪 Cookie type | Purpose | Managed how |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site working: signing you in, loading pages, moving safely through the cashier. Without these the platform cannot function. | Always on. These cannot be switched off through a consent choice because the service depends on them, though your browser can still block them. |
| Functional / preferences | Remember choices such as your language, whether you prefer English or French, and small display settings, so you do not reset them each visit. | Optional. You can clear or block them in your browser, at the cost of re entering preferences. |
| Performance / analytics | Measure how the site is used in aggregate: which pages load, where errors happen, which features work. This guides improvements. | Optional and set with consent where required. Data is used in grouped form, not to identify you personally. |
| Security / anti-fraud | Help detect unusual sign in patterns, duplicate accounts and suspicious activity, protecting your balance and the platform. | Treated as necessary for a safe service. Blocking them can trigger extra checks or limit access. |
| Session | Hold the state of your current visit, such as staying logged in as you move between the casino and the sportsbook, then expire when you leave. | Temporary by design. They clear when the session ends or when you sign out. |
Some cookies last only for a single session and disappear when you close the browser, while others persist for a set period so the site can recognise you on your return. In every case the lifespan is matched to the job the cookie does, and nothing is kept longer than its purpose calls for.
Managing or disabling cookies
You are in control of cookies through your own browser, and you do not need any special tool to exercise that control. Every major browser lets you view the cookies stored on your device, delete them, and set rules for the future, such as blocking certain types or asking for a prompt before any new cookie is set. These settings usually live in the privacy or security section of the browser menu, sometimes under a heading like site data or content settings.
In general terms, you can:
- Open your browser settings and find the privacy or security area.
- Choose to see and clear existing cookies and stored site data.
- Set the browser to block third party cookies, or all cookies, or to warn you each time one is offered.
- Use a private or incognito window, which keeps cookies only for that session and clears them when you close it.
Because the exact wording and menu paths differ between browsers and change with each version, the surest guide is the help section built into the browser you are using. It will show the current steps for your specific version.
What happens if you disable cookies
Turning cookies off is your right, but it has consequences worth knowing before you do it. Strictly necessary and session cookies are what keep you signed in and let you move through the cashier safely. Block those and the core of the site stops working: you may be unable to log in, your session may drop as you navigate, and deposits or withdrawals may fail partway. That is not a penalty we impose; it is simply how a secure logged in service is held together.
Blocking the optional categories has milder effects. Without functional cookies the site will forget your preferences and you will set them again each visit. Without performance cookies we lose sight of parts of how the site is used, which makes it harder to spot and fix problems, though your own play is unaffected. Blocking security cookies can lead to more frequent verification prompts or restricted access, because the tools that vouch for your device are no longer present.
Local storage and similar tools
Beyond cookies, the site may use your browser local storage to hold small amounts of information that help pages load smoothly, such as interface preferences or a cached setting. Local storage stays on your device until it is cleared, and you can remove it through the same browser privacy controls you use for cookies, usually under the site data or stored data option. Pixels and tags, where used, work only to confirm that a page or feature was reached, and they carry no readable personal detail about you.
The difference between these tools is mostly technical, and you do not need to master it to stay in control. If you clear site data for Lamabet in your browser, you remove the cookies and the local storage together, which resets your session and your saved preferences in one step. Signing out and clearing data on a shared or public computer is a sensible habit, since it ensures the next person to use that device cannot pick up where your session left off.
No advertising cookies that sell your data
We want to be direct about this. Lamabet does not use cookies to sell your personal information to anyone. The cookies on the site exist to run the service, keep it secure, remember your choices and measure performance in grouped form. We are not building a profile of you to auction to outside advertisers, and disabling the optional categories will never affect your ability to be paid or to play the games you are entitled to.
