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 are not used to change the terms of a bet, payment authorization, withdrawal procedure, transaction limits, or eligibility requirements. Their role is generally to help the service operate consistently, remember selected settings, and identify security issues during a visit or account session. Users should always verify the current regulatory status, applicable terms, and availability of services under applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or browser storage items placed on a device when a person visits a website. They allow the website to remember limited information about a browser, device, or previous action. For example, a cookie can help keep a user signed in after completing the Afro Bet login process, remember a language choice, or retain a cookie preference.
Afro Bet may also use similar technologies, where relevant, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. These technologies can perform comparable functions, such as measuring whether a page loads properly, detecting unusual session activity, or understanding how visitors move between pages. They do not remove the need for users to protect their passwords, devices, and account-holder information.
Why Afro Bet Uses Cookies
Some cookies are necessary because an online betting and gaming service must be able to recognize a valid session, apply security checks, and preserve a user’s selected settings. Without them, core actions such as registration, secure account access, payment-flow protection, or navigation may not work as expected.
Other cookies may help Afro Bet assess loading speed, identify navigation problems, understand which content is useful, and measure the performance of communications or campaigns. In a typical user journey, a cookie may preserve a preference after account registration, help maintain a secure session while reviewing sport betting content, and record a consent choice so it does not need to be requested repeatedly.
Where optional cookies are used, their operation may depend on consent, the cookie banner or preference centre where available, and browser or device settings. Afro Bet seeks to distinguish between cookies needed for functionality and cookies used for optional analytics or marketing purposes.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support functions that users reasonably expect from a secure digital service. They may be used for session continuity, registration, secure access, cookie preference storage, age-gate checks, fraud prevention, and protection of payment-related pages. Disabling these cookies can prevent parts of the platform from operating correctly.
For example, a session cookie may help confirm that a user who started an Afro Bet registration journey is continuing through the same secure browser session. Age-related checks may also support the requirements described in the Age Restriction Policy. Users should review eligibility requirements before creating an account.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies can help identify suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, protect account access, and support safer sessions across betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. They may help distinguish normal navigation from activity that requires additional verification or protective action. Afro Bet does not publish technical anti-fraud rules because detailed disclosure could assist misuse.
These controls may be relevant when a device changes, a session behaves unexpectedly, or an attempt is made to access account features without proper authorization. They work alongside the obligations and user responsibilities described in the Terms and Conditions and should not be treated as a substitute for strong passwords or careful handling of account credentials.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help assess page speed, loading errors, device types, navigation paths, and the general quality of website content. This information can help Afro Bet improve practical areas such as access to Afro Bet football pages, game listings, and mobile navigation. Where applicable, analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized; it should not be used to expose a user’s private betting activity publicly.
Performance review is especially useful where a page fails to load, a button is difficult to use on a mobile browser, or visitors leave a process before it is completed. Such findings can support service improvements without changing a customer’s account rights, transaction record, or complaint-handling procedure.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember settings that make repeat visits more convenient. Depending on the service configuration, they may retain language, region, odds format, device preferences, login preference, or previous cookie-consent selections. A user who accesses the Afro Bet app or mobile-related services may encounter device storage that performs a similar role.
These cookies are intended to reduce unnecessary repetition. They do not replace customer due diligence, KYC requirements, identity verification, or any verification that may be required before particular account or payment features can be used.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies may be used to measure campaign performance, understand referral sources, control how often an advertisement is shown, and make communications more relevant. They may help identify whether a visitor reached the site from an authorised service channel or promotional link. They do not guarantee a bonus, a betting outcome, or access to any offer.
Users may be able to manage marketing cookies through site-level choices, browser controls, device privacy settings, or third-party advertising settings where available. Before acting on promotional content, users should review the applicable conditions, limits, and transparency of terms associated with any Afro Bet bonus code or campaign.
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 placed by service providers that support functions such as analytics, hosting, security, payment verification, advertising measurement, fraud prevention, or customer support. Third parties should only process information in line with applicable arrangements, data protection and privacy requirements, and the operator’s actual service configuration.
Afro Bet does not list unconfirmed vendors in this policy. Where provider details are made available by the operator, the cookie list may be updated to identify the relevant category, purpose, duration, required status, and possible provider.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Secure operation and preferences | Login session or consent storage | Session or defined period | Required | Afro Bet or relevant service provider |
| Security | Account protection and abuse prevention | Suspicious-session detection | Session or defined period | Required where applicable | Afro Bet or security provider |
| Analytics or marketing | Service improvement or campaign measurement | Page performance or referral measurement | Session or defined period | Optional where supported | Relevant analytics or advertising provider |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookie duration depends on its purpose. Session cookies usually expire when a browser is closed or a session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless they are deleted earlier through browser or device controls. The appropriate duration should reflect operational need, security requirements, and applicable data protection and privacy obligations rather than being retained indefinitely.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Users can control many cookie settings, although the available choices may differ by browser, device, and service feature.
- Step 1: Use the cookie banner or preference centre on the Afro Bet website, if available, to accept, reject, or adjust optional categories.
- Step 2: Review browser settings to block cookies, delete stored data, or set alerts before cookies are saved.
- Step 3: Check device privacy controls and, where available, advertising preferences for mobile services.
- Step 4: Clear browsing data if you want to remove existing cookies, then sign in again only through the official domain.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect login, account security, payments, responsible betting controls, and access to betting or gaming features. If a setting causes an account page to malfunction, first confirm that the official site is being used and then seek assistance through Contact Us. Do not share passwords, verification codes, or payment authorization details with unofficial channels.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve personal data or online identifiers, particularly where they relate to an account, device, security event, or preference. The Privacy Policy provides further information about data collection, storage, processing, user rights, and available contact options.
Cookie practices should be read together with the Privacy Policy and the operator’s current terms. Processing must remain subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, relevant compliance requirements, and the operator’s confirmed data practices. Users should check the latest information where legal or local requirements may affect service availability.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Afro Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website features, technologies, service providers, legal requirements, security measures, or cookie practices change. The current version should be reviewed periodically, particularly before using a new device, browser, app-related service, or account feature.
Contact Us
Questions about cookies, browser controls, privacy choices, or suspected account-security issues can be submitted through Contact Us. When requesting support, provide only the information needed to identify the issue and use official communication channels.
Compliance note: This page requires review by Afro Bet’s legal and compliance team before publication to confirm actual cookie technologies, consent mechanisms, providers, retention settings, data-processing practices, and consistency with applicable Ethiopian privacy requirements.
