What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They contain information that your browser returns to the website each time you return, allowing sites to recognize you, remember your preferences, and understand how you use their services. Cookies can be set by the website owner (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded on the site (third-party cookies).
Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for months or years. Modern browsers give you control over which cookies you accept and can delete them at any time.
Cookies Habtam Bet uses
Essential cookies (always active)
These cookies are necessary for Habtam Bet to function properly. Without them, core features like account login, fund deposits, and responsible gaming limits would not work. We set these without asking for permission because they are technically required.

Habtam Bet also uses cookies set by Cloudflare, our content delivery network. These include __cf_bm, which protects against automated attacks, and cf_clearance, which helps us verify you are human when accessing the site.
Analytics cookies (requires your consent)
We use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand how players interact with Habtam Bet. These cookies help us improve page speed, identify broken features, and see which games are most popular. We do not use tools that create detailed user profiles or track you across multiple websites.
| Tool / Cookie | What it tracks | Data sharing |
|---|---|---|
| Plausible Analytics | Page views, referrer source, device type, browser (no IP storage) | Aggregated only, no individual tracking |
Affiliate and marketing cookies (third-party)
When you follow a link from an affiliate review site to Habtam Bet, the affiliate's tracking system may place a cookie on your device. This allows them to credit you as a referred player if you create an account and deposit. These cookies are set by the affiliate network, not by Habtam Bet itself. Common affiliate networks include Affiliates.com and other regulatory-approved programs.
Habtam Bet also uses Google Analytics for understanding aggregate traffic patterns. Google's cookie policy applies separately, and you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Payment processor cookies
When you deposit or withdraw funds, payment providers like bank partners may set cookies to protect your transaction and prevent fraud. Habtam Bet does not control these cookies. Each payment partner's privacy policy governs their data practices.

Significant changes will be announced on the site. Your continued use of Habtam Bet after a policy update means you accept the new terms.
