Cookie Policy
This policy lists every cookie LikesBet Casino sets on a visit, says what each one does, how long it lasts and who placed it. It also covers how consent is collected, how a choice is changed later and what stops working when a category is blocked. It sits beside our privacy notice, which deals with the wider question of what is held about a member and why.
A Plain Definition Before the LikesBet Casino Cookie List
A cookie is a small text file a site asks a browser to keep. On the next page request the browser hands it back, which is how a site recognises that two requests came from the same visit. The file holds a short identifier rather than a name or a balance, and it is readable only by the domain that set it.
Several other technologies do the same job and are covered by the same rules here. Local storage holds small values in the browser without sending them on every request. Session storage does the same but forgets everything when the tab closes. A pixel is a tiny image whose loading confirms that a message was opened. Wherever this policy says cookie, it means all of these.
Without them a session could not survive the move from the lobby to the cashier. A currency choice would be forgotten on every page, and the protections that keep automated traffic off the site would have nothing to work with.
LikesBet Casino Consent, Banner by Banner
Nothing optional is written to a browser until the banner on a first visit has been answered. Three buttons are offered: take every category, keep only what the site cannot run without, or step into the panel and rule on each group separately.
Strictly necessary cookies are set either way, because the site cannot be delivered without them and no consent is sought for them. Analytics and marketing cookies wait until a choice is made and are never set in advance of it.
A choice is remembered for twelve months, after which the banner returns. It can be changed sooner from the cookie settings link in the footer of every page, and withdrawing consent stops the collection from that moment without affecting what was gathered while it was in force. Clearing site data in a browser also clears the record of the choice, which is why the banner reappears after a clean-up.
Cookies Without Which LikesBet Casino Cannot Run
This group keeps the site working and cannot be switched off from the banner. Everything in it is set by us rather than by an outside party.
Session cookies hold the signed-in state so a member is not asked for a password on every page. Security cookies carry the token that protects a form submission from being forged elsewhere. Load balancing cookies keep a visit on the same server so a basket of requests behaves consistently. Fraud prevention cookies recognise automated traffic and the patterns that come with bonus abuse.
Two further cookies in this group exist for the member rather than the system. One records the cookie choice itself; the other holds the account currency so the cashier opens in pounds rather than defaulting to something else.
Convenience Settings Held by Functional LikesBet Casino Cookies
Functional cookies remember a setting that makes the site easier to use without being required for it to run. Blocking them leaves everything working, only less conveniently.
They cover the interface language, the last lobby filter applied, whether the game shelf was left on a list or a grid, the state of the sidebar, the odds format chosen on the sportsbook and the games marked as favourites. None of them records what was staked or won.
With this category blocked, a preference resets on every visit. A member who sets the odds display to fractional will find it back on decimal the next time, and a favourites list will be empty each time the site opens.
What the LikesBet Casino Analytics Layer Counts
Analytics exists to show where the site helps and where it gets in the way. The work is done on grouped figures rather than on named members, and the output is a chart about a page rather than a profile of a person.
They record which pages are opened, how long a visit lasts, which game a shelf leads to, where a journey through registration or the cashier stops, how quickly a page renders and which errors appear. The device type and approximate region are recorded as context, not as an identifier.
Blocking this category changes nothing a member can see. The only effect is on us, since improvement work then relies on a smaller sample.
Campaign Cookies That LikesBet Casino Allows
Marketing cookies measure whether a campaign worked and limit how often the same message is shown. They are the category most members switch off, and switching them off costs nothing in functionality.
They record which campaign brought a visit to the site, whether a registration followed it, how many times a given promotion has been displayed and which offers have already been dismissed. Some are set by advertising partners rather than by us, which means the partner can recognise the same browser across other sites in its network.
With the category blocked, promotions still appear in the cashier. They are simply chosen without regard to what has been shown before, so the same tile may come round more often.
Every LikesBet Casino Cookie Named in One Grid
The table lists the cookies set from our own domain, with the lifetime each one carries. Anything set by an outside supplier appears in the section after it.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| lb_session | Strictly necessary | Holds the signed-in state across pages | Session |
| lb_token | Strictly necessary | Protects form submissions from forgery | Session |
| lb_balance_ccy | Strictly necessary | Keeps the cashier in the account currency | 12 months |
| lb_consent | Strictly necessary | Records the cookie choice made on the banner | 12 months |
| lb_guard | Strictly necessary | Detects automated traffic and bonus abuse patterns | 24 hours |
| lb_lang | Functional | Remembers the interface language | 6 months |
| lb_odds | Functional | Stores the odds display format on the sportsbook | 6 months |
| lb_shelf | Functional | Keeps the last lobby filter and shelf layout | 30 days |
| lb_favs | Functional | Holds the list of favourited games | 12 months |
| lb_metrics | Analytics | Counts page views and measures load time | 13 months |
| lb_route | Analytics | Follows the path taken through registration and the cashier | 30 days |
| lb_campaign | Marketing | Records the campaign a visit arrived from | 90 days |
| lb_shown | Marketing | Limits how often a promotion is displayed | 30 days |
Names can change when the platform is updated. The table is reviewed whenever that happens, and the date beneath this table records the day it was last verified.
Cookies Set by Outside Suppliers on LikesBet Casino Pages
Some parts of the site are supplied by other companies, and those parts set cookies of their own that we cannot read. Each provider publishes its own notice, and that notice governs what it collects.
- Game studios: a title opened in the lobby may set a cookie holding the state of the round, so a reconnection does not lose a spin in progress.
- Live streaming suppliers: the dealer floor sets cookies that hold the stream quality chosen and the nearest delivery node.
- The live chat platform: a cookie keeps a conversation attached to a visitor between page loads.
- Payment providers: the cashier hands a session to a provider, which sets its own cookies for fraud checks during the payment.
- Content delivery and security providers: cookies that route a request to the nearest server and filter malicious traffic.
- Advertising partners: cookies that measure a campaign, set only where marketing consent has been given.
Blocking third-party cookies in a browser will affect some of these. Live chat and the payment step are the two most likely to misbehave, which is worth knowing before a blanket block is applied.
Browser Controls That Outrank LikesBet Casino Cookie Settings
Every browser offers control over cookies independently of our banner, and a browser setting overrides anything chosen on the site. The routes below were accurate at the date on this page, and a browser update can move a menu.
Chrome on Desktop and Android
Find Settings behind the three dots, then the Privacy and security group, where the third-party cookie switch lives. A blanket block and a per-site exception are both available, and the panel that clears browsing data sits a little further down the same page.
Safari on a Mac or an iPhone
Desktop Safari keeps both the tracking switch and the cookie block on the Privacy tab of its Settings window. On a handset the same controls move out of the browser and into the device Settings application, filed under Safari, with history and stored data cleared by a button of their own.
Firefox on Any Platform
The route runs through the hamburger menu into Settings and then the Privacy and Security page. Three protection levels are offered, Standard, Strict and Custom, and the Cookies and Site Data block underneath handles both clearing and per-site exceptions.
Edge on Windows
Settings opens from the three dots, and the relevant page is Cookies and site permissions, where Manage and delete cookies and site data holds the switches. A separate tracking prevention control sits on the Privacy, search and services page.
The Cost of Blocking Each LikesBet Casino Category
The effect depends entirely on the category. The difference between the four of them is larger than most members expect.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies breaks the site. A sign-in will not hold from one page to the next, the cashier cannot complete a payment and forms will be rejected as unverified. There is no way to deliver an account service without them, which is why they are not offered as a choice.
Blocking functional cookies leaves everything working but forgetful. Language, odds format, filters and favourites reset on every visit.
Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no visible effect at all. Pages load the same way, promotions still appear, and the only change is that the choice of which promotion to show is made without history behind it.
LikesBet Casino Handling of Browser Opt-Out Headers
Do Not Track is a header a browser can send asking sites not to follow a visit across the web. No agreed standard was ever settled for how a site should respond, and most do nothing with it.
We treat a Do Not Track header as a signal to apply the same outcome as rejecting the optional categories on our banner, which means analytics and marketing cookies are not set. Global Privacy Control, which is a newer signal with clearer rules behind it, is treated the same way.
Neither signal affects strictly necessary cookies. Those are not tracking anybody across anything, which is why they sit outside the question.
Revisions to the LikesBet Casino Cookie Rules
Three things prompt a change here: a cookie added or dropped, a supplier joining or leaving, or a shift in the rules that govern consent. The stamp at the bottom of this page records when it was last gone over.
A change that adds a new category or a new purpose resets the consent held against an account, and the banner reappears so a fresh choice can be made. A change that only corrects a name or a lifetime in the table is published here without interrupting a visit.
Questions about anything in this document go to live chat, which is open around the clock. A data protection query is routed from there to the team that handles them.
