This page explains how BetX 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.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. The categories below describe possible uses; the confirmed cookie inventory and available preference controls determine which technologies are active on a particular service.

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file or browser storage item that helps a website remember information about a visitor or device. For example, it can help keep you signed in as you move between pages or remember your language choice.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers, if used. These can record interactions or store settings without using a traditional cookie. In this policy, “cookies” includes these technologies where relevant, although browser cookie controls may not manage all of them.
Why BetX Bet Uses Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the platform to function. Others support optional features or measurement and may depend on consent, available preference controls, browser settings, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
- Maintain secure sessions during registration, login, and account navigation.
- Help protect accounts from suspicious activity and automated abuse.
- Remember cookie choices, language preferences, and useful display settings.
- Identify loading problems and improve navigation on different devices and connections.
- Understand which pages are useful and measure campaigns without including sensitive account details in advertising reports.
- Support applicable legal, security, eligibility, and responsible gaming requirements.
Cookies are not a substitute for identity verification, customer due diligence, or account-level controls. Deleting cookies does not remove transaction records, close an account, or cancel a self-exclusion restriction.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support essential functions such as BetX Bet login, account registration, secure account access, session continuity, payment flow protection, age-gate checks, and storage of cookie choices. Without them, a request may not remain connected to the correct signed-in account.
An age-gate cookie may remember a completed check, but it does not independently prove eligibility. The Age Restriction Policy explains relevant restrictions. Necessary cookies are distinct from optional tracking technologies.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies and related identifiers may help detect suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, and protect sessions across betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. Their purpose is to protect accounts and service integrity, not to guarantee that every threat will be prevented.
Some security functions may be essential; others require assessment according to their actual purpose. Detailed detection rules are not disclosed because doing so could weaken protection. Cookie-based checks may support, but do not replace, the account obligations in the Terms and Conditions or account-level responsible gaming measures.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may measure page usage, loading errors, device types, navigation paths, and content usefulness. For example, they can help identify whether a page takes too long to load on a mobile connection.
This information supports service improvements, not public disclosure of private betting details. Analytics data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. Pseudonymization reduces direct identification but does not necessarily make data anonymous. Optional analytics can be rejected where supported.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, or a requested login preference. Cookie consent storage may instead be classified as necessary because it records your privacy choices.
Rejecting optional functional cookies may mean selecting preferences again. Browser choices may not automatically carry over to the BetX Bet app, another device, or another browser. App-related storage and SDK controls depend on the implementation.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repeated advertisements, and support more relevant messages or offers. They do not determine winnings, guarantee a bonus, or change eligibility requirements.
Where available, you can manage these cookies through website settings, browser controls, or third-party advertising preferences. Rejecting marketing cookies may reduce personalization but does not necessarily remove all advertising.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by BetX Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support. Not every provider uses cookies, and no specific provider is identified here without operator confirmation.
The following category-level overview is not a verified inventory. It may be updated when providers and technologies are confirmed. Classification depends on the actual purpose, not simply who supplies the technology.
| Cookie category | Purpose and example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Maintain login and payment session continuity | [Confirm per cookie] | Required for essential functions | Operator or service provider; confirm |
| Security | Detect suspicious activity | [Confirm per cookie] | Depends on function | Security provider, if used |
| Analytics | Measure page loading and navigation | [Confirm per cookie] | Optional where applicable | Analytics provider, if used |
| Functional | Remember display preferences | [Confirm per cookie] | Usually optional | Operator or service provider; confirm |
| Marketing | Measure campaigns and referrals | [Confirm per cookie] | Optional | Advertising provider, if used |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when the browser closes or the session ends, although browser session-restoration features may affect this. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier. Other storage technologies may remain until removed through browser, app, or device controls.
Actual durations must be confirmed for each technology. Cookie expiry is separate from retention of account, verification, payment, or security records.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review categories and reject optional analytics or marketing cookies you do not want.
- Step 2: Use browser settings to block or delete cookies. Device privacy settings may provide additional controls for app identifiers and permissions.
- Step 3: Save your choices and repeat them on other browsers or devices. Clearing browsing data may erase saved preferences and sign you out.
A preference center offers category-level control; browser blocking is broader and may disrupt essential functions. Disabling necessary cookies may affect login, account security, deposits, withdrawals, or betting and gaming features. Changing preferences does not undo processing already completed.
In a typical user scenario, cookie choices should be reviewed before registration. Before downloading an app or APK, entering account information, or authorizing a payment, verify the official domain and service channel. Check verification requirements, fees, limits, processing times, withdrawal procedures, and support options separately: cookies do not establish those terms. Users should also verify the current legal and regulatory status in Ethiopia against the competent authority’s latest information.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies involve personal data or online identifiers, such as a session identifier, device information, or usage information linked to an account. These details may become identifying when combined with other records.
Our Privacy Policy should explain collection, storage, processing purposes, service-provider access, user rights, and privacy contact options. Handling must reflect actual operator practices and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements. Rejecting optional cookies does not necessarily stop processing needed to provide requested services or meet applicable obligations.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
BetX Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. The revision date should identify the latest version. Material changes and any renewed consent requirements should be communicated through appropriate service channels.
