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 and age-restriction controls.

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 website. It allows the website to remember limited information about the browser, device, session, or selected settings.
Afro Bet may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. Where used, these technologies can perform functions similar to cookies, such as maintaining a session, recording a preference, measuring page performance, or identifying unusual activity.
Cookies do not automatically provide access to every file or piece of information on a device. However, some cookies and online identifiers may be associated with account-holder information or other personal data. Their treatment is explained further in the Privacy Policy.
Why Afro Bet Uses Cookies
In a typical user journey, cookies help maintain continuity between registration, login, account navigation, and any payment or gaming functions made available by the operator. Without essential session information, a user might need to sign in repeatedly or may be unable to complete a secure process.
Afro Bet may use cookies to:
- keep eligible users signed in through a secure session;
- protect accounts and detect suspicious, automated, or abusive activity;
- remember cookie choices, language, region, and display preferences;
- improve page loading, mobile access, navigation, and technical reliability;
- understand which pages and functions are useful or difficult to use;
- measure campaign and referral performance without publicly exposing private betting details;
- support age restriction, identity verification, customer due diligence, and other compliance requirements where applicable; and
- support responsible betting measures, including controls connected with account limits or self-exclusion where implemented.
Some cookies are necessary for the platform to operate. Optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies may depend on the user’s consent, the available preference controls, and browser or device settings.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support basic functions that cannot reasonably be provided without browser or session data. They may be used for the Afro Bet login, Afro Bet registration, secure account access, session continuity, cookie preference storage, payment-flow protection, and age-gate checks.
They may also help preserve a transaction request while authorization is pending or prevent a form from being submitted more than once. This does not confirm that a payment has been approved. Users should check the relevant record of transaction, processing time, fees, limits, and withdrawal procedure in their account and the operator’s terms.
Eligibility remains subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, the operator’s terms, and the Age Restriction Policy. Users should also verify the current licensing and regulatory status in Ethiopia using reliable operator and competent-authority information.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help identify suspicious sign-in patterns, repeated failed access attempts, automated requests, altered sessions, or other activity that could threaten users or the platform. They may be relevant across sport betting, keno, live betting, and other gaming areas.
These controls can support safer sessions, payment authorization, account integrity, and the secure handling of personal data. Afro Bet does not publish detailed anti-fraud rules where doing so could make abuse easier. Users should protect their credentials, avoid shared devices where possible, sign out after use, and review the Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming guidance.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may collect information about page visits, loading times, errors, device types, navigation paths, and how website functions are used. In an expert assessment of digital betting services, these are practical indicators for identifying slow registration pages, confusing menus, failed login journeys, or mobile compatibility problems.
Analytics data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. It should be used to improve service quality and content—not to expose an individual’s private betting activity publicly. Users can review the available Afro Bet games pages while applying their selected cookie preferences.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember settings that make the service easier to use, such as language, region, odds format, device preference, login preference, and cookie consent choices. They may also help preserve navigation when moving between a browser and app-related service.
Before installing or opening an Afro Bet app or APK, users should confirm the official domain, publisher information, requested permissions, update source, and authorized service channel. Cookies or SDKs used in an app environment may be controlled through device settings rather than standard browser controls.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may help measure advertising campaigns, understand referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and present content considered more relevant to a user. They do not guarantee that a bonus, offer, or other promotion will be available, suitable, or awarded.
Before responding to advertising, users should examine eligibility requirements, transparency of terms, wagering conditions, expiry rules, transaction limits, and any applicable restrictions. Marketing cookies may be managed through the website preference centre, browser controls, device privacy controls, or third-party advertising settings where available.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Afro Bet through its website or related services. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, hosting, security, payment verification, advertising measurement, fraud prevention, or customer support.
No provider names are listed here unless confirmed by the operator. The category-level list below should be updated when the operator’s verified cookie inventory and vendor details are available.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Status | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core operation and session continuity | Login, consent storage, protected account flow | Session or defined period | Required | Afro Bet or confirmed technical provider |
| Security | Account and platform protection | Suspicious activity or automated-abuse detection | Session or defined period | Usually required | Afro Bet or confirmed security provider |
| Analytics and performance | Service measurement and improvement | Page speed, errors, device type, navigation | Defined period | Optional where supported | Confirmed analytics provider |
| Functional | Preference storage | Language, odds format, or device settings | Session or defined period | Required or optional by function | Afro Bet or confirmed service provider |
| Marketing | Campaign and referral measurement | Ad frequency or referral attribution | Defined period | Optional where supported | Confirmed advertising provider |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed, the session ends, or a security timeout occurs. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless the user deletes them earlier or the operator withdraws them.
Exact retention periods depend on the cookie’s purpose and configuration. Afro Bet should publish confirmed durations in its cookie preference centre or verified cookie inventory. Cookies should not be retained longer than necessary for their stated purpose, subject to applicable legal, security, record-keeping, and compliance requirements.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference centre, if available, and review each category before accepting optional cookies.
- Step 2: Use browser or device privacy settings to block, limit, or delete cookies and local storage. App users should also review advertising identifiers and permission settings.
- Step 3: Revisit the preference centre after changing browsers, devices, or profiles, because choices may not automatically transfer.
- Step 4: If a preference is not working, clear browsing data, restart the service, and use the operator’s official support channel.
Rejecting optional analytics or marketing cookies should not require acceptance of promotional tracking where a valid choice is offered. Disabling strictly necessary cookies, however, may affect login, account security, registration, payment functions, preference storage, or access to betting and gaming features.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may involve personal data or online identifiers, particularly when information is connected with an account, device, security event, customer due diligence process, or support request. The Privacy Policy explains the operator’s confirmed practices concerning collection, processing, storage, disclosure, user rights, and contact options.
Users should compare the cookie notice with the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions for consistency. Material points include operator identification, lawful purposes, access controls, disclosure of retention periods, complaint-handling procedures, and any confirmed involvement of third-party providers. All processing remains subject to applicable Ethiopian laws, the relevant regulatory framework, and the operator’s actual data practices.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Afro Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website features, app technologies, cookie providers, security controls, legal requirements, or regulatory expectations change. The revised version should display an updated effective date. Material changes may also be presented through a cookie banner, account notice, or other official communication channel where appropriate.
