This Habesha Bet Cookie Policy explains how Habesha 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 betting outcomes or guarantee access to any service. Their role is to help the digital service operate reliably, remember appropriate choices, and protect users during account activities. Availability of features remains subject to eligibility requirements, applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, and the operator’s published terms.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or browser storage items placed on a device when a person visits a website. They allow the site to remember information about a browser, device, or visit. For example, a cookie can help keep an account session active after a user moves from the login page to another page, or remember that a visitor has already made a cookie preference choice.
Habesha Bet may also use related technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits (SDKs), and device identifiers where these are used in the relevant service. In plain terms, these technologies help the website or mobile service recognise a returning device, measure technical performance, and apply security checks without requiring the user to repeatedly enter the same information.
Why Habesha Bet Uses Cookies
Habesha Bet cookies may be used because an online betting service needs a dependable way to maintain secure account access and identify unusual activity. Necessary cookies can keep users signed in, preserve a protected session, remember consent choices, and support navigation between account areas. They may also assist with age-gate continuity and responsible betting measures where those controls apply.
Other cookies can help improve loading speed, identify navigation problems, understand which pages are useful, and assess whether a campaign led a visitor to the site. Marketing measurement should not expose private betting details publicly. Analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable, depending on the technology and the operator’s actual data practices.
Some cookies are essential for the platform to function. Optional analytics or marketing cookies may be controlled through a cookie banner, preference centre, browser settings, or device privacy settings where those options are available. Before creating an account, users should review the Terms and Conditions, confirm the current Legal Status in Ethiopia, and check that they are using an authorised service channel.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support core functions that users reasonably expect from a secure online service. They may be used during Habesha Bet login and Habesha Bet registration, including session continuity, secure account access, payment-flow protection, fraud prevention checks, cookie preference storage, and age-gate controls.
These cookies may be necessary to prevent a session from being mixed with another user’s session or to preserve a security step while a user moves between pages. Disabling them can affect access to an account, transaction-related screens, or other protected functions. Users should also read the Age Restriction Policy before registration.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies can help detect suspicious patterns, repeated failed access attempts, automated traffic, or activity that may indicate account misuse. They may contribute to safer sessions and help protect the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. Habesha Bet does not publish technical fraud-detection rules where disclosure could undermine account protection.
As a practical account-security measure, use a unique password, avoid sharing verification codes, and sign out on shared devices. If a device or session appears unfamiliar, users should review available account controls and consult the Responsible Gaming information and the Privacy Policy for relevant safeguards and data-handling information.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help identify how pages load, which device types are used, where navigation becomes difficult, and whether technical errors affect the user journey. For example, they may indicate that visitors have trouble moving between Habesha Bet football content and account pages, or that a page takes longer to load on a mobile browser.
This information can help improve content quality, navigation, and service stability. It should be used to improve the service rather than to disclose an individual’s private betting activity. Depending on the tool and configuration, information may be aggregated or pseudonymized.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices that make a visit more convenient. These may include language, region, odds display format, device preferences, login preference, or cookie consent settings. A visitor who selects a preference on the mobile site may therefore avoid setting it again during the same or a later visit, subject to the cookie’s lifespan and browser controls.
Users considering mobile access should verify the source before using the Habesha Bet app or any app-related service. Downloading software from unofficial sources can create security and privacy risks.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies may help measure campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertising, and make communications more relevant. They can indicate that a person arrived through a campaign, but this does not mean that a user will receive a bonus, promotion, or any particular result.
Where supported, users may reject or adjust marketing cookies through the site’s cookie settings, browser controls, or relevant third-party advertising settings. Before responding to any promotion, users should check the applicable conditions, limits, eligibility requirements, and responsible betting information rather than relying on advertising alone.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Habesha Bet through its website or 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. Third parties should only process information in accordance with applicable arrangements, data protection and privacy requirements, and the operator’s actual service configuration.
Provider names and precise cookie details are not listed here unless confirmed by the operator. The cookie inventory may be updated when providers, technologies, or website features change.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Secure operation and session continuity | Login or consent storage | Session or defined period | Required | Habesha Bet or relevant service provider |
| Security | Abuse detection and account protection | Suspicious-session checks | Session or defined period | Usually required | Habesha Bet or security service provider |
| Analytics or marketing | Performance analysis or campaign measurement | Page-use or referral measurement | Session or defined period | Optional where consent is required | Relevant analytics or advertising provider |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when a browser is closed or a secure session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless they are deleted earlier through browser or device settings. The actual duration depends on the cookie’s purpose, technical configuration, and applicable compliance requirements; Habesha Bet should not retain cookies longer than necessary for the stated purpose.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Users can manage Habesha Bet tracking cookies and similar technologies through available controls. The recommended order is:
- Step 1: Use the website cookie banner or preference centre, where available, to accept, reject, or adjust optional categories.
- Step 2: Review browser and device privacy settings to block, delete, or limit cookies.
- Step 3: Clear browsing data if you want to remove stored cookies, noting that this may sign you out and reset preferences.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent secure login, interfere with account security checks, affect payment authorization screens, or limit betting and gaming functions. If a user needs assistance with available settings or believes a cookie choice has not been applied correctly, they may use Contact Us.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies and online identifiers may constitute personal data or may be linked to account-holder information when combined with other information. The handling of that information should follow applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, the operator’s data protection practices, and any relevant customer due diligence or security requirements.
For details about data collection, storage, processing, user rights, complaint-handling options, and privacy contact routes, please review the Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy must be read alongside that policy and should receive final legal and compliance review before publication to ensure it reflects Habesha Bet’s current practices.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Habesha Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website technologies, service providers, legal requirements, security measures, or service features change. Users should review this page periodically, particularly before using new account, payment, mobile, or promotional features.

Questions about Habesha Bet privacy and cookies, cookie preferences, or the use of similar technologies can be submitted through Contact Us. Please provide enough detail to identify the browser, device type, and issue encountered without sending passwords, verification codes, or other sensitive security information.
Compliance note: This page is a general policy draft and must be reviewed by Habesha Bet’s legal and compliance team before publication. Cookie categories, providers, consent requirements, retention settings, and data-processing descriptions must be verified against the operator’s live website, app-related services, Privacy Policy, and applicable Ethiopian legal requirements.
