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 tools 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.
Cookies do not replace the need for users to protect their passwords, use authorized service channels, and check the current terms before creating or using an account. This page should be read together with the Afro Bet Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or browser storage items placed on a device when a person visits a website or uses related digital services. They help a website remember information about a visitor, browser, or device, such as whether a session is active, which language was selected, or whether cookie choices have already been recorded.
Afro Bet may also use similar technologies, where relevant, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. In practical terms, these technologies can help the service recognize a returning browser, keep a user on the correct page during registration, or identify unusual activity that may require additional account protection.
Why Afro Bet Uses Cookies
Cookies support the ordinary operation of an online betting and gaming service. For example, a session cookie can help keep an account signed in while a user moves between account pages, while a security-related cookie may help detect repeated failed login attempts or automated activity. These controls can be relevant to consumer protection, payment authorization, account-holder information, and compliance requirements.
Afro Bet cookies may be used to remember cookie consent and language preferences, improve navigation and loading performance, assess which pages are useful, and measure the source of a campaign without publicly exposing sensitive account or betting information. Where analytics information is used, it may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable.
Some cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot normally be switched off through a preference tool. Optional analytics or marketing cookies may depend on consent, available cookie settings, browser controls, device settings, and the services in use. Availability of features remains subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, eligibility requirements, and the operator’s terms.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies enable essential functions that users reasonably expect from a secure digital service. They may support account registration, secure access, session continuity, payment-flow protection, age-gate checks, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie preferences. Without these cookies, parts of the Afro Bet login process or Afro Bet registration journey may not work correctly.
These cookies may also help apply age restriction and access controls. Users should review the Age Restriction Policy before opening an account and verify that use of the service is permitted under their local circumstances and the current Legal Status in Ethiopia information.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies help Afro Bet identify suspicious patterns, protect account sessions, reduce automated abuse, and preserve the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. They may assist with detecting unusual browser behaviour, repeated access attempts, or signs that an account session needs additional verification.
For security reasons, Afro Bet does not describe technical detection rules in detail. Users should use a strong, unique password, avoid sharing account access, and contact support promptly if they notice activity they do not recognize. Responsible account use should also be considered alongside the Responsible Gaming information.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help Afro Bet understand how the site performs across different browsers and devices. They may indicate loading issues, navigation paths, page responsiveness, device categories, and the general usefulness of content. This information can support improvements to areas such as Afro Bet football, the Afro Bet keno section, or other pages that users visit.
The purpose is to improve service quality and identify technical problems, not to publish private betting details. Analytics information may be combined into broader reports or handled using pseudonymous identifiers where appropriate to the technology and actual data practices.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices that make the service easier to use. Depending on the feature available, they may retain a language selection, region setting, odds format, device preference, login preference, or previous cookie consent decision. A mobile user, for example, may benefit from a setting that avoids asking for the same preference repeatedly during a normal browsing session.
These cookies can improve convenience, but they are not a substitute for reviewing account information, transaction limits, fees, processing times, or withdrawal procedures shown in the relevant service flow. Users accessing the Afro Bet app should also review their device-level privacy controls.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies may be used to measure campaigns, understand referral sources, reduce repeated advertising, and present communications that are more relevant to a user’s interests. They do not guarantee a bonus, a betting result, or access to any particular offer. Any promotional terms should be assessed separately for eligibility requirements, limits, and transparency of conditions.
Where supported, users can manage marketing cookies through the cookie preference tool, browser controls, device privacy settings, or third-party advertising settings. Choosing to reject these cookies may reduce personalization but should not normally prevent access to core website functions.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Afro Bet through its website or related service. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers that support functions such as analytics, security, hosting, payment verification, advertising, fraud prevention, or customer support. A third party may process an online identifier only in accordance with the applicable arrangement, its own notices where relevant, and the operator’s actual practices.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core access and security | Login session or consent record | Session or defined period | Required | Afro Bet or operational service provider |
| Security | Fraud and abuse prevention | Suspicious-session assessment | Session or defined period | Required where used | Afro Bet or security service provider |
| Analytics | Performance measurement | Page loading or navigation analysis | Session or defined period | Optional where supported | Analytics service provider |
| Marketing | Campaign measurement | Referral or advertising frequency analysis | Session or defined period | Optional where supported | Advertising service provider |
The provider list and technologies in use may change as website features change. Confirmed vendor names, purposes, and retention settings should be added only after operator verification.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookie duration depends on its function. Session cookies usually expire when a browser is closed or the relevant session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, unless they are deleted sooner through browser or device settings. The appropriate duration should be limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose and reviewed when service features or compliance requirements change.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Users can take practical control of cookies without guessing which settings matter:
- Step 1: Use the website cookie banner or preference centre, if available, to review optional categories and record your choices.
- Step 2: Check browser settings to block, delete, or limit cookies and clear browsing data when needed.
- Step 3: Review mobile-device privacy settings, especially when using app-related services or browser storage on a phone.
- Step 4: If you experience login, payment, or navigation problems after blocking cookies, consider whether strictly necessary cookies have been disabled.
Disabling all cookies may affect secure login, account protection, payment authorization, registration, and use of betting or gaming features. Before changing settings, users should distinguish between required operational cookies and optional analytics or marketing cookies. For help with account access or privacy questions, use the authorized Contact Us channel.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve personal data or online identifiers, particularly when they are linked to an account, device, security event, or service request. The Privacy Policy provides further information about data collection, storage, processing, user rights, and available contact options.
Users should verify the current privacy information before registration or before submitting identity verification, payment, or other account-holder information. This Cookie Policy must be applied consistently with applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, data protection and privacy requirements, and Afro Bet’s actual operational practices.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Afro Bet may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, security measures, or website features change. The current version should be reviewed periodically, particularly before using new account, payment, mobile, or promotional features. Material changes may be presented through the website or another appropriate communication channel where required.
