What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. They're a standard part of how the modern web works, and we use them at 10Bet because they genuinely help us deliver a more reliable, secure, and consistent experience. We're committed to being transparent about what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can stay in control of your own preferences. No guesswork — just clear, honest information.
Why We Use Cookies at 10Bet
Running a casino platform involves a lot of moving parts, and cookies are central to keeping everything working the way it should. When you sign in to your account, a cookie is what keeps that session active as you navigate between pages — without it, you'd be asked to log in again every few seconds. That kind of disruption isn't just annoying; it creates real security risks too.
Beyond keeping you logged in, we rely on cookies to remember your language and regional settings so you don't have to reconfigure them on every visit. If you've set your preferred display options or adjusted your account settings, cookies are what make those choices stick.
During active gameplay, session-level cookies play a particularly important role. They help maintain continuity between you, our platform, and the game environment — so if you're mid-session, the experience doesn't break unexpectedly. This matters whether you're playing a table game or a slot, because even a brief interruption can cause issues with game states and wagers.
We also use cookies to measure how our site is performing overall. Understanding which areas load slowly or where users tend to drop off helps us make meaningful improvements over time. Ultimately, every category of cookie we deploy — from the strictly necessary to the functional — serves a defined purpose tied to making 10Bet work better for the people using it.
Types of Cookies We Deploy
We categorize the cookies used on our platform into four main groups. Each serves a distinct function, and knowing the difference helps you make informed decisions about your tracking preferences.
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies are required for the platform to function at a basic level.
- What they do: They manage your login session, authenticate your identity, and protect against unauthorized access.
- Can they be disabled? Not without breaking core functionality. Blocking these cookies means you won't be able to stay logged in, access your account, or load games reliably.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
- Purpose: These help us understand how players interact with our site.
- What they do: They collect aggregated, anonymized data about page visits, load times, error rates, and navigation paths.
- Why it matters: The data we gather through these cookies informs our technical and design decisions — it's how we identify what needs improving.
Functionality Cookies
- Purpose: These remember the choices you've made to personalize your experience.
- What they do: They store preferences like your selected language, display settings, or any layout customizations you've applied.
- Effect if disabled: The site will still work, but it won't remember your preferences between visits.
Targeting & Advertising Cookies
- Purpose: These allow us to show promotional content that's more relevant to you.
- What they do: They track browsing behavior across sessions to help us understand what kinds of offers or features are most appropriate for a given player.
- Your control: These can be managed or turned off via our cookie consent banner without affecting your ability to use the platform.
Third-Party Cookies in iGaming
Some of the cookies active on our platform aren't set by us directly — they come from trusted third-party service providers we work with to deliver specific parts of the experience. We only partner with providers whose data practices meet the standards we hold ourselves to, and we don't permit third parties to use cookie data for purposes outside the scope of the service they're providing us.
Our game content providers are one example. When you launch a game on our platform, the game environment itself may require cookies to function correctly. These cookies handle things like loading game assets, preserving your game state if the session is briefly interrupted, and ensuring the return of round results is handled accurately. Without them, gameplay would be technically unreliable.
Payment processing is another area where third-party cookies are involved. Our secure payment gateways use session-level cookies as part of their fraud detection and secure transaction routing protocols. These aren't used to serve you ads — they exist purely to protect the integrity of financial transactions made on our platform.
We don't sell data gathered through third-party cookies, and we periodically review our partnerships to confirm that their cookie practices remain aligned with applicable data protection standards. If you'd like more detail on how we manage data shared with third parties, our full Privacy Policy covers this in depth.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
You have real control over your cookie preferences, and we make it straightforward to exercise it. The easiest way to manage your choices is through the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit our site. From there, you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customize your preferences by category. You can revisit and update these choices at any time — just look for the Manage Cookie Preferences option in the site footer.
If you'd prefer to manage cookies at the browser level, every major browser provides built-in tools to view, block, or delete cookies. Here's where to find those settings in common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Other Site Data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions
One important note: if you choose to block or delete essential cookies, certain parts of our platform will stop working as expected. You may find yourself unable to stay signed in, access your account balance, or load games. We'd recommend keeping strictly necessary cookies enabled to avoid these disruptions while still adjusting your preferences for analytics and advertising cookies as you see fit.
