Habtam Bet Cookie Policy – ሀብታም ቤት

Last updated: [Insert date after legal approval]

This Habtam Bet Cookie Policy explains how Habtam 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 or age-restriction controls.

This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. The availability and operation of particular features may depend on eligibility requirements, account verification, the operator’s terms, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file or browser storage item placed on a computer, phone, or other device when a person visits a website. Cookies help a website remember information about the visitor, browser, session, or device. For example, a cookie can keep a user signed in while moving between pages or remember a selected language.

Habtam Bet may also use comparable technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. These technologies can perform similar functions in a browser, mobile site, or application. Their use depends on the platform, device, and services currently implemented by the operator.

Why Habtam Bet Uses Cookies

Cookies may be used to:

keep users signed in and maintain secure account sessions;
identify suspicious activity, automated traffic, or attempted account misuse;
remember cookie choices, language, region, and display preferences;
improve navigation, page loading, and technical reliability;
understand which pages and functions are useful to visitors;
measure referrals and advertising campaigns without intentionally publishing private betting or account information;
support age restriction, responsible betting measures, customer due diligence, and other compliance requirements where applicable.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to operate. Optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies may be used only where supported by the operator’s consent process, browser controls, and applicable requirements.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies enable essential functions that cannot reasonably be provided without browser or device storage. They may support the Habtam Bet login, Habtam Bet registration, secure account access, session continuity, age-gate checks, payment flow protection, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie preferences.

In a typical account journey, these cookies help preserve information while a user moves between registration, identity verification, account pages, and an authorized payment screen. They do not remove the need for the user to confirm eligibility, age restrictions, transaction limits, processing times, or withdrawal requirements. Users should review the Age Restriction Policy and verify the operator’s current legal status in Ethiopia through reliable information before creating an account.

Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

Security cookies and related device signals may help detect unusual login patterns, repeated failed access attempts, automated abuse, session manipulation, or other activity that could affect users or platform integrity. They may be applied across sport betting, live betting, keno, and gaming areas without disclosing the technical anti-fraud rules used by the operator.

These controls may also support payment authorization, records of transactions, account recovery, and investigations into suspected misuse. A cookie does not itself guarantee security. Users should protect passwords, avoid shared devices, verify the official domain, and use only an authorized service channel. Information about account controls, self-exclusion, and deposit limits is available in the Responsible Gaming section.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help Habtam Bet assess website usage, device types, navigation paths, loading errors, response times, and content quality. For example, aggregated measurements may show whether visitors can find the Habtam Bet games area or whether a page performs poorly on a mobile connection.

Analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. It should be used to improve the service and should not be presented publicly as an identifiable user’s private betting activity. The exact data fields, retention periods, and providers must be confirmed against the operator’s actual implementation.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices that improve usability, such as language, region, odds format, device layout, login preference, and cookie consent status. In an app-related service, an SDK or local storage item may perform the same role as a browser cookie.

When comparing website and mobile access, users should consider objective factors such as the number of login steps, device compatibility, verification requirements, visibility of fees and limits, and access to support. Before installing the Habtam Bet app or an APK, confirm that the download is provided through the operator’s official communication channel and review the permissions requested by the device.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies may help measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and present content considered more relevant to a visitor. They do not guarantee access to an offer, bonus, or winnings. Any promotion remains subject to its published eligibility rules, expiry conditions, wagering terms, and applicable restrictions.

Where the relevant controls are available, users may reject marketing cookies through the cookie preference center, browser settings, device privacy controls, or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting these cookies should not remove strictly necessary account functions, although advertising may become less relevant.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Habtam Bet through its website or related service. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, hosting, security, payment verification, fraud prevention, advertising, or customer support.

No provider names should be assumed unless confirmed by the operator. The category-level summary below must be updated if vendors, purposes, or retention periods change.

Cookie category	Purpose	Example use	Duration	Status	Possible provider
Strictly necessary	Core operation and session continuity	Login, registration, consent storage	Session or confirmed period	Required	Habtam Bet or essential service provider

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed, the user signs out, or the session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless they are deleted earlier through browser or device settings.

Retention varies according to purpose. Habtam Bet should publish exact durations only after confirming the active cookie inventory and provider configurations. Cookies should not be retained longer than necessary for their stated purpose and applicable compliance requirements.

How Users Can Manage Cookies

Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available, and review each category.
Step 2: Accept or reject optional analytics and marketing cookies where the controls permit this.
Step 3: Use browser or device privacy settings to block cookies, remove stored data, or restrict tracking technologies.
Step 4: Sign out before clearing cookies on a shared device, then confirm that account and payment sessions have ended.
Step 5: If a preference cannot be changed or a feature stops working, use the official Contact Us channel.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent login, registration, identity verification, payment processing, withdrawal requests, or access to betting and gaming functions. Clearing cookies may also remove saved language, odds format, and consent choices.

Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve personal data or online identifiers, including account references, IP-related information, device details, session identifiers, or interaction records. Their handling must be consistent with the operator’s actual practices, data protection and privacy obligations, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.

The Privacy Policy explains the relevant collection, processing, storage, disclosure, user rights, and complaint-handling procedures. Users should also check what account-holder information is required for KYC requirements, how personal data is secured, and which official channel is available for privacy requests.

Practical Checks Before Using Account Services

Within an expert review of an online betting service, cookie controls should be assessed together with operator identification, transparency of terms, and account security. Before registration, login, deposit, or withdrawal, users should:

confirm the official domain and avoid links received from unverified sources;
review age, regional, identity verification, and eligibility requirements;
check disclosed fees, transaction limits, processing times, and the withdrawal procedure;
use payment methods registered or authorized for the account holder where required;
keep a record of relevant transactions and official support communications;
verify the current licensing and regulatory status using the competent authority’s latest information.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

Habtam Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, security practices, or website and application features change. The revised version should show an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or cookie preference interface where appropriate.
