This Afro Bet Cookie Policy explains how Afro 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 or age-restriction controls where applicable.
Effective date: [To be confirmed by the operator]
This policy should be read together with the platform’s terms, privacy information, and other applicable notices. Availability of particular services may depend on eligibility requirements, local restrictions, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file or browser storage item placed on a computer, smartphone, or other device when a user visits a digital service. It helps the service remember information about the visitor, browser, session, or device.
For example, a cookie may record that a user has signed in, selected a language, or made a cookie choice. Without certain cookies, a user might need to repeat the same action on every page.
Afro Bet may also use similar technologies where supported, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. In this policy, the term “cookies” generally includes these related technologies unless a distinction is necessary.
Why Afro Bet Uses Cookies
In a typical user journey, cookies connect separate page requests into a consistent session. This can help keep a user signed in securely, protect an account from suspicious activity, remember cookie and language choices, improve loading speed and navigation, and identify technical errors.
Cookies may also help Afro Bet understand which pages and functions are useful, measure campaign referrals without intentionally exposing sensitive account details, and support compliance requirements, age restrictions, responsible betting measures, and the secure handling of account-holder information.
Some cookies are necessary for the platform to operate. Optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies may depend on a user’s consent, the cookie preference tools made available, or browser and device settings. Where consent is required, rejecting an optional category should not activate cookies in that category unless another lawful basis applies and is properly disclosed.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support essential functions that cannot reasonably be provided without browser or device storage. They may be used for login, registration, secure account access, session continuity, cookie preference storage, payment flow protection, age-gate checks, and fraud prevention.
For example, cookies can help maintain continuity between the Afro Bet login page and a protected account area, or preserve the progress of an eligible user completing Afro Bet registration. They may also support controls described in the Age Restriction Policy. Users should independently verify the operator’s current legal status in Ethiopia and any eligibility requirements before creating or using an account.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help detect suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, protect sessions, and maintain the integrity of sports betting, live betting, keno, and other gaming areas. They may support device recognition, authentication checks, payment authorization controls, and investigation of activity that appears inconsistent with normal account use.
These controls do not replace the user’s responsibility to protect login credentials and use an authorized service channel. Detailed anti-fraud rules are not published because doing so could weaken account and platform safeguards. Relevant user obligations are explained in the Terms and Conditions, while safer-use tools and self-exclusion information should be checked on the Responsible Gaming page.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies may show how pages load, which device types are used, how visitors move through the site, where errors occur, and whether content is easy to find. In an expert review of a digital betting service, useful performance criteria include page response, number of navigation steps, mobile compatibility, clarity of terms, and whether support information is accessible.
Data from these cookies may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. It should be used to improve the service and content, not to publish private betting or account details. For example, performance analysis may identify whether visitors can navigate efficiently to the Afro Bet games area without revealing an individual user’s private selections.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember settings that make the service easier to use. These may include language, region, odds format, device preferences, login preference, interface layout, and previous cookie consent choices.
On mobile devices, such settings may help provide a consistent experience between a browser and supported Afro Bet app services. Users should obtain any app or APK only from a channel identified by the operator as official and should check the domain, publisher information, requested permissions, and current version before installation.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may help measure advertising campaigns, identify general referral sources, limit repetitive ads, and display content that is more relevant to a visitor’s interests. Their use does not guarantee that a user will receive a bonus, qualify for an offer, or achieve any betting result.
Where available, users can manage marketing cookies through the website’s preference center, browser controls, device privacy settings, or relevant third-party advertising settings. Offer eligibility, expiry dates, wagering conditions, limits, and exclusions should always be reviewed separately in the applicable terms.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Afro Bet through the domain or service the user visits. Third-party cookies may be set by trusted service providers that support analytics, hosting, security, payment verification, advertising measurement, fraud prevention, or customer support.
Third-party providers may process online identifiers according to their own notices and contractual responsibilities. Afro Bet should assess providers using objective criteria such as purpose limitation, access controls, retention, data protection and privacy terms, and complaint-handling procedures.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Status | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core operation and session continuity | Login, registration, preference storage | Session or defined period | Required | Afro Bet or essential service provider |
| Security | Account and platform protection | Suspicious activity and automated abuse detection | Session or defined period | Usually required | Afro Bet or security provider |
| Analytics and performance | Service measurement and improvement | Loading, navigation, and error analysis | Defined period | Optional where consent applies | Analytics or hosting provider |
| Functional | Remember user settings | Language, odds format, or device preference | Session or defined period | Required or optional, depending on function | Afro Bet or functionality provider |
| Marketing | Campaign and referral measurement | Ad frequency and campaign attribution | Defined period | Optional where consent applies | Advertising or measurement provider |
Specific vendor names and exact retention periods have not been stated because they require operator confirmation. This list may be updated when technologies or providers change.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed, the session ends, or the service invalidates the session. They commonly support temporary navigation and authenticated account activity.
Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless the user deletes them earlier. They may remember preferences, recognize a returning device, or support longer-term measurement. Duration varies by purpose and provider. Afro Bet should retain cookie-related data only for an appropriate period based on operational, security, legal, and regulatory requirements.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Users can manage cookies through the website cookie banner or preference center, if available, as well as browser settings, device privacy settings, and controls offered by relevant third parties.
- Step 1: Open the cookie preference center and review each category by purpose.
- Step 2: Accept or reject optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies where controls are provided.
- Step 3: Use browser or device settings to block cookies, remove stored data, or restrict cross-site tracking.
- Step 4: Sign in again and confirm that essential account functions work as expected.
- Step 5: If a preference is not saved or an account function fails, use the official Contact Us channel.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect login, identity verification, account security, payment flows, session records, or access to betting and gaming features. Clearing cookies may also sign a user out and remove saved language or consent preferences.
As a practical account-security measure, users should verify the official domain before signing in, avoid sharing authentication details, review transaction records, and contact support through an authorized service channel if unexpected account activity appears.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may involve personal data or online identifiers, including an IP address, device identifier, session reference, account-related identifier, or browser information. Depending on how these elements are combined, they may be linked to an account holder or used for identity verification, customer due diligence, security, and service administration.
The Privacy Policy provides further information about data collection, lawful processing, storage, disclosure, user rights, and contact options. Cookie practices must remain consistent with that policy, the operator’s actual systems, and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Afro Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website features, app services, cookie technologies, providers, legal requirements, or the applicable regulatory framework change. The revised version should display an updated effective date. Material changes may also be presented through the website or another official communication channel where appropriate.
Contact Us
Questions about Afro Bet cookies, consent choices, online identifiers, or privacy practices should be submitted through the verified contact methods on the Contact Us page. Users should provide enough information to identify the issue but should not send passwords, one-time codes, or unnecessary payment credentials.
