This page explains how Betika Bet uses cookies and similar technologies on its Ethiopian website, mobile site, and app-related services where applicable. These technologies may support secure login sessions, account protection, fraud and abuse prevention, website performance, analytics, marketing measurement, language and user preferences, and responsible gaming and age-restriction controls.
The categories below describe their purposes and the choices available to users. Actual technologies, providers, and retention periods must be confirmed by the operator. Availability of services remains subject to eligibility requirements, applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, and the operator’s terms.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser that helps a website remember information about your visit or device. For example, it may allow the website to recognize your signed-in session as you move between pages, rather than asking you to log in again at every step.
Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), and device identifiers. If used, these can remember settings or record interactions on websites and app-related services. In this policy, “cookies” includes these technologies where relevant; their controls may differ between browsers and mobile devices.
Why Betika Bet Uses Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the platform to function. Others support optional features or measurement. Depending on their purpose and applicable requirements, optional cookies may depend on your consent or available privacy settings.
- Maintain authenticated sessions and protect account access.
- Detect suspicious activity and reduce fraud or automated abuse.
- Remember cookie choices, language preferences, and useful settings.
- Improve loading speed, navigation, and mobile usability.
- Understand which pages are useful and identify service errors.
- Measure campaigns without exposing sensitive account details in advertising reports.
- Support relevant legal, security, age-restriction, and responsible gaming obligations.
Cookies do not replace identity verification, customer due diligence, or payment authorization. Remembering a device does not establish that its user meets eligibility or KYC requirements.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support basic functionality, including registration, login, secure account access, session continuity, payment-flow protection, age-gate checks, essential fraud prevention, and cookie preference storage. They are generally not controlled by optional-cookie choices, although browsers may allow you to block them.
For example, moving from Betika Bet registration to Betika Bet login may require session information to preserve a valid account-access process. An age-gate preference does not replace verification under the Age Restriction Policy.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help identify suspicious patterns, protect accounts, reduce automated abuse, and maintain safer sessions across betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. Cookies necessary for these protections may remain active when optional analytics or advertising cookies are rejected.
Security checks may also support the integrity of deposit and withdrawal workflows. They do not guarantee transaction approval or replace other verification checks. Detailed detection rules are not disclosed because doing so could weaken account protection.
Where applicable, cookies may support Responsible Gaming controls. Self-exclusion and deposit limits should not depend solely on a browser cookie; deleting cookies must not be treated as removing an account-level restriction.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Betika Bet analytics cookies may help measure page usage, loading problems, device types, navigation paths, and content quality. For example, performance information can help identify a mobile page that loads slowly or a navigation step that repeatedly fails.
Analytics should improve the service, not publicly expose private betting activity, account balances, or payment details. Data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. Pseudonymization means replacing direct identifying details; it does not necessarily make information anonymous. Optional analytics choices depend on the implemented settings.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, and a chosen login preference. Cookie-consent records may instead be classified as strictly necessary when needed to remember your privacy choices.
On shared devices, avoid saving login preferences and sign out after use. Browser settings and the Betika Bet app may have separate controls: changing one does not necessarily change the other. Obtain apps or APK files only through an operator-confirmed distribution channel.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may measure campaign results, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and help show more relevant communications or offers. They do not guarantee access to a bonus, account eligibility, or winnings.
Where supported, you can manage these cookies through website preferences, browser controls, or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting optional marketing cookies should not prevent access to core services supported by necessary cookies. It may reduce personalization without removing all advertisements.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Betika Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support. A provider may process online identifiers under its own privacy terms, depending on the integration.
The following is a category-level overview, not a verified cookie inventory. Provider names, specific cookie identifiers, and durations should be added once confirmed. This list may be updated as services change.
| Cookie category | Purpose and example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary and security | Session continuity, payment-flow protection, abuse prevention | Session or persistent; confirm per cookie | Required where essential | Operator; security or verification service |
| Analytics and performance | Usage measurement and loading-error analysis | To be confirmed | Optional where applicable | Operator or analytics service |
| Functional | Language and display preferences | To be confirmed | Depends on the function | Operator or functionality service |
| Marketing | Campaign attribution and advertising frequency | To be confirmed | Optional | Operator or advertising service |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when a session ends or the browser closes, although browser session-restoration features may affect this. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier. Different purposes may require different durations.
Exact expiry periods must be confirmed in the cookie inventory or preference center. A cookie’s expiry is separate from the retention period for information already collected. Deleting a cookie does not necessarily delete account, transaction, security, or compliance records.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review each category and accept or reject optional cookies before saving your choices.
- Step 2: Check your browser’s privacy settings. You can usually block third-party cookies, limit stored data, or delete cookies for a specific website.
- Step 3: Review device and app privacy controls separately. Advertising permissions and SDK-related settings may not follow browser choices.
- Step 4: Recheck preferences after clearing browsing data or changing devices. The website may no longer remember your previous choice.
Website preferences offer category-level control where implemented; browser blocking is broader and may affect functionality. Disabling necessary cookies may disrupt login, account security checks, payments, or betting and gaming features.
If a deposit or withdrawal page fails after changing settings, do not repeatedly submit the transaction. Check its recorded status and contact support before retrying. Withdrawing consent affects future optional processing where applicable; it does not automatically erase previously collected information.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies contain or generate personal data, including online identifiers, device information, and information linked to an account. Cookies should not be assumed to contain only non-identifying information.
The Privacy Policy explains relevant collection, storage, processing, disclosures, user rights, and contact options. Cookie practices must be consistent with that policy, actual operator practices, and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements.
Before registration or payment activity, verify operator identification and current licensing and regulatory status, including the competent authority’s latest information where available. Review the Terms and Conditions for verification requirements, transaction limits, fees, and withdrawal procedures. Cookies alone do not demonstrate regulatory approval or transaction safety.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Betika Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. Material changes should be communicated through an appropriate website notice, with renewed consent requested where required.
