This page explains how Zemen 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.
Last updated: [Operator to insert date]. This policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Availability of individual features may depend on eligibility, local requirements, and the service used.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser that helps a website remember information about your visit or device. For example, it can connect successive page requests to the same login session or remember your chosen language. Cookies do not, by themselves, guarantee account security or establish your identity.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits (SDKs), and device identifiers, if used. These can record interactions or store settings in a browser or app. This policy uses “cookies” as a collective term for these technologies where their purposes are comparable.
Why Zemen Bet Uses Cookies
In a typical account session, moving between account pages and gaming areas requires the service to maintain continuity. Cookies may help keep you signed in, protect against suspicious activity, remember privacy choices, improve loading speed and navigation, and identify pages that need improvement.
They may also support campaign measurement without disclosing sensitive account details, payment flow protection, and legal, security, or responsible gaming controls. Cookies are not a substitute for identity verification, customer due diligence, or account-based restrictions.
Some cookies are necessary for requested services to work. Optional analytics, personalization, and marketing technologies may depend on your consent or available settings. Their treatment must reflect their actual purpose and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations—not simply the name assigned to them.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These support basic functionality, including Zemen Bet login, account registration, secure account access, session continuity, payment flow protection, and storage of cookie choices. They may also support age-gate checks described in the Age Restriction Policy. A remembered age-gate response does not replace verification of eligibility.
Without necessary cookies, a session may end unexpectedly or a requested account function may not work. Necessary storage should be limited to what the relevant function requires.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
These may help identify suspicious session patterns, reduce automated abuse, protect account access, and preserve the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and other gaming areas. Detailed detection rules are not published because doing so could weaken safeguards.
Where applicable, they may support responsible gaming measures, including recognition of restrictions. Self-exclusion and deposit limits should not rely solely on cookies that a user can delete. Whether a security technology is necessary depends on its function; this category is not blanket permission for unrelated tracking.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These may measure page loading, errors, device types, navigation paths, and content usefulness, including navigation within Zemen Bet games. Their purpose is to improve service reliability and usability, not to expose private betting details publicly.
Analytics data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. Pseudonymized information can still be personal data; it should not be described as anonymous without verification.
Functional Cookies
These may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, and a chosen login preference. Comparable settings may be used in the Zemen Bet app, where available. Remembering a language is different from keeping an authenticated session active, and each function should be classified separately. Storage needed to remember cookie consent choices may be strictly necessary.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These may measure campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repeated advertisements, and help select more relevant offers. They do not guarantee bonuses, eligibility, or winnings. Cookie choices do not change the conditions attached to an offer.
Where supported, you can reject or manage marketing cookies through website preferences, browser controls, and third-party advertising settings. Rejecting them may not remove all advertising, but can limit cookie-based measurement or personalization.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Zemen Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support. Their involvement does not automatically make every cookie necessary.
The following is a category-level overview, not a verified inventory. Provider identities, cookie names, and exact durations require operator confirmation; the list may be updated as services change.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core account functions | Session continuity | [Confirm per cookie] | Required for the relevant function | Operator or service provider; confirm |
| Security | Account and transaction protection | Suspicious-session detection | [Confirm per cookie] | Depends on purpose | Operator or security provider; confirm |
| Analytics | Service improvement | Loading-error measurement | [Confirm per cookie] | Optional unless otherwise justified | Operator or analytics provider; confirm |
| Functional | Remember settings | Language preference | [Confirm per cookie] | Depends on function | Operator or functionality provider; confirm |
| Marketing | Advertising measurement | Referral attribution | [Confirm per cookie] | Optional | Advertising provider; confirm |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when the browser closes or the session ends, although browser session-restoration settings can affect this. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier. Exact expiry periods must be confirmed for each cookie; no single duration applies to every category.
Deleting a cookie does not necessarily delete related records already held by the operator or a provider. Personal-data retention is a separate issue covered by the privacy notice.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review the purposes and reject optional analytics or marketing cookies you do not want.
- Step 2: Use your browser’s privacy settings to block cookies, restrict third-party storage, or clear browsing data. Check device privacy and app tracking settings for app-related services.
- Step 3: Revisit your preferences when needed. Apply choices separately to other browsers or devices unless the service expressly confirms that they are synchronized.
Website controls offer category-specific choices; browser controls can be broader and may affect more functions. Clearing storage can remove saved preferences and sign you out. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may disrupt login, account security, payments, or betting and gaming features. Rejecting optional cookies should not, by itself, disable unrelated core services.
In a typical mobile session, do not clear storage during a deposit or withdrawal request. If a transaction status becomes unclear, check the account record and contact support before repeating it. Cookies do not determine payment authorization, verification requirements, processing time, fees, or transaction limits.
Before registration or downloading an app or APK, verify the website address and authorized service channel. Check operator identification, current regulatory status, verification requirements, and published payment conditions. These are practical checks, not a claim that this policy verifies licensing or legal approval.
Cookies and Personal Data
Cookie identifiers, device information, and browsing activity may constitute personal data, especially when linked to account-holder information. The privacy notice explains collection, storage, processing, disclosures, user rights, and contact options. Cookie settings are not a substitute for a personal-data request or withdrawal of a separate communications preference.
Responsible gaming restrictions remain subject to the operator’s account controls and applicable requirements. Deleting cookies should not be treated as a way to remove self-exclusion or other account restrictions.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Zemen Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. The revision date should reflect the latest published version. Where required, changes to optional processing should be accompanied by an appropriate notice or renewed consent request.
