Shamo Bet Cookie Policy

This page explains how Shamo 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 where applicable.

The categories below explain possible uses, not a verified inventory of every technology currently active. Actual cookies, providers, consent arrangements, and retention settings must be confirmed by the operator. Availability of services remains subject to eligibility requirements, applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, and the operator’s terms.

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 the site recognize an existing login session when you move between account pages, rather than asking you to sign in again on every screen.

Similar technologies can include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers, if used. They may record an interaction or retain a setting without creating a conventional cookie. References to Shamo Bet cookies in this policy include these technologies where they serve comparable purposes. Cookies do not, by themselves, establish your identity or replace identity verification.

Why Shamo Bet Uses Cookies

The practical distinction is between technologies needed to deliver a requested service and those used for additional measurement or personalization. Necessary cookies may keep users signed in, protect accounts from suspicious activity, preserve cookie choices, and support legal, security, and responsible gaming obligations. Optional uses may depend on consent, applicable requirements, and browser settings.

Other purposes may include remembering language preferences, improving loading speed and navigation, identifying useful pages, and measuring campaigns without exposing sensitive account details to advertising tools. A slow page and a failed login require different checks: performance information helps investigate loading problems, while session information helps maintain secure account access.

Before registration, verify the website address through a reliable official communication channel and review operator identification, eligibility, and licensing and regulatory status. A cookie banner or familiar logo is not proof of authorization. Check the competent authority’s latest information where relevant.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Classification depends on a cookie’s actual purpose, not merely its name or provider. A preference cookie needed to remember consent may be necessary, while one used only for convenience may be optional.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Basic functions may depend on cookies supporting registration, secure account access, session continuity, payment flow protection, fraud prevention, and cookie preference storage. During Shamo Bet login, for example, a session identifier may help connect successive account requests without placing your password in the cookie.

These technologies may also maintain age-gate continuity, subject to the Age Restriction Policy. Remembering an age-gate response is not a substitute for eligibility checks, customer due diligence, or KYC requirements. Where a cookie is genuinely necessary, it may not be available for rejection through optional-cookie controls.

Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

Security-related storage may help detect suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, and protect the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. It can support safer sessions without guaranteeing that an account or transaction is risk-free. Specific detection rules are not disclosed because doing so could undermine account protection.

Where implemented, cookies may assist responsible betting measures, such as presenting relevant controls or maintaining an interface state. Self-exclusion and deposit limits should not depend solely on removable browser storage. Refer to Responsible Gaming for the controls actually offered.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Shamo Bet analytics cookies may help assess device types, navigation paths, page usefulness, loading delays, and errors. For example, performance measurements could help identify whether navigation to the games section is difficult on a mobile browser.

Analytics should improve service quality, not publish private betting details. Data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable; pseudonymized information can still be personal data. No claim of anonymity is made here. Optional analytics should follow the applicable consent arrangements.

Functional Cookies

Useful settings may include language, region, odds format, device preferences, login preferences, and cookie consent choices. Their classification varies: remembering a consent refusal serves a different purpose from remembering a preferred display format.

Mobile browsers and the Shamo Bet app, where available, may use separate storage and privacy controls. Rejecting a cookie on one browser may not change an app’s settings. Before downloading an app or APK, confirm the authorized source and review permissions; cookie acceptance does not establish download safety.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Shamo Bet marketing cookies may measure campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repeated advertisements, or help display more relevant offers. Shamo Bet tracking cookies used for advertising can link interactions across visits, depending on the tools deployed. They should not expose passwords, payment credentials, or private betting records to advertising providers.

Users may manage marketing cookies through site controls, browser settings, or third-party advertising settings where available. Rejecting them does not necessarily remove all advertising. Any offer remains subject to its own eligibility and terms; cookies do not create an entitlement to a bonus or guarantee winnings.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by Shamo Bet in the website’s own context. Third-party cookies may be set by external service providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or support tools. A provider’s involvement alone does not establish that its cookies are necessary.

Provider names have not been supplied, so this policy uses category-level descriptions rather than naming unverified vendors. The list may be updated when the operator confirms the tools in use. Confirmed inventory: [operator to provide cookie names, providers, purposes, durations, and required or optional status]. Where vendor details are available, publish a table containing those fields and example uses.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Shamo Bet session cookies usually expire when the browser closes or the session ends, although browser restoration features can affect this behavior. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless removed earlier. They may retain a preference between visits.

Exact durations depend on each cookie’s configuration and must be disclosed in the confirmed inventory or preference center. Deleting a device cookie does not automatically delete associated server records, account information, or transaction history. Those records have separate retention arrangements.

How Users Can Manage Cookies

Site controls and browser controls serve different purposes. A site preference center, if available, lets you select supported categories; browser settings can block or remove storage more broadly, sometimes affecting essential functions.

1. Step 1: Open the cookie banner or preference center, where available. Review the purposes and reject optional analytics or marketing cookies if you do not want them.
2. Step 2: Use browser settings to inspect, block, or clear cookies and browsing data. Check whether the change applies to this site only or every website.
3. Step 3: Review device privacy settings and app controls separately. Repeat your choices on other browsers or devices, and check them again after clearing stored data.

Consent withdrawal should stop future optional processing covered by that choice; it does not automatically erase previously collected information. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may disrupt login, account security, payment flows, or betting and gaming features.

Before a deposit or withdrawal, review identity verification requirements, transaction limits, fees, processing time, and the withdrawal procedure in the Terms and Conditions. If a payment screen fails after storage is blocked, check the account’s transaction record before submitting again. A cookie error does not establish whether payment authorization succeeded.

Cookies and Personal Data

Online identifiers, session references, and device information may constitute personal data, particularly when linked to account-holder information. Secure handling of personal data requires appropriate safeguards and clear purposes; labeling information “technical” does not remove data protection responsibilities.

For questions about Shamo Bet privacy and cookies, read the Privacy Policy for details of collection, storage, processing, user rights, and contact options. Cookie settings must reflect the operator’s actual practices and applicable Ethiopian privacy requirements. This page does not independently verify legal compliance or regulatory approval.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

Shamo Bet may revise this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. Material changes should be reflected in the published information and consent controls where required. Last updated: [operator to insert date after approval].

Use Contact Us to ask about cookie categories, stored preferences, provider information, or privacy concerns. Explain which browser or app you use and which setting caused difficulty. Do not send passwords, verification codes, or complete payment credentials. Ask for the complaint-handling procedure if your concern remains unresolved.

Compliance note: Before publication, the operator’s legal and compliance team must verify the cookie inventory, consent behavior, retention disclosures, contact route, and consistency with the Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
