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.

Understanding Shamo Bet privacy and cookies helps you distinguish storage needed for account access from optional measurement or advertising tools. The categories below describe possible uses; the active technologies, providers and consent options must reflect the operator’s verified implementation.

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 let the next page recognise an existing login session rather than ask for credentials again.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage and device identifiers, if used. These can record interactions or retain settings in different ways. References to Shamo Bet cookies in this policy include these related technologies where relevant, although browser cookie controls may not manage all of them.

Why Shamo Bet Uses Cookies

A usable account service needs continuity between pages. Cookies may keep users signed in securely, remember consent and language choices, help identify suspicious activity, and improve loading and navigation. They may also show which pages are useful or where visitors encounter errors.

Campaign measurement should be configured to avoid exposing sensitive account details to advertising systems. Security and eligibility tools may support legal obligations and responsible betting measures, subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations and the operator’s actual practices.

Some storage is necessary for requested functions; optional analytics or marketing may depend on consent or browser settings. Classification should follow a tool’s actual purpose, not just its label. Before registration, review the terms and information about legal status in Ethiopia, and verify current regulatory status against the competent authority’s latest information. This policy is not evidence of licensing or regulatory approval.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Different categories serve different purposes. Where one tool performs several functions, its use and consent treatment should be explained in the current cookie inventory.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies support basic functions that users request. Possible uses include registration, secure account access, payment-flow protection, age-gate checks, session continuity, essential fraud prevention and storing cookie choices. Blocking them may interrupt a transaction or make a page lose its signed-in state.

For Shamo Bet login or Shamo Bet registration, cookies do not replace eligibility checks, identity verification or applicable KYC requirements. Age-related storage may maintain a check between pages, but it cannot establish eligibility by itself; consult the Age Restriction Policy.

Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

Security cookies may help detect suspicious session patterns, reduce automated abuse and protect account access. They can support the integrity of betting, keno, live betting and other gaming areas without guaranteeing that every threat will be prevented.

Detailed detection rules are not disclosed here. Users should protect credentials, verify the official domain through a verified communication channel and sign out on shared devices. Cookies may support continuity of responsible gaming controls, but deleting them must not be treated as a way to remove account-level limits or self-exclusion. See Responsible Gaming for the applicable controls.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Shamo Bet analytics cookies may measure page usage, loading issues, device types and navigation paths. This helps identify problems such as a mobile page that fails to load or a confusing route to account information.

Analytics should improve service and content quality, not expose private betting details publicly. Data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable; pseudonymized information is not necessarily anonymous. Optional analytics should follow the consent requirements applicable to the implementation.

Functional Cookies

Functional storage may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences or a selected login preference. Consent records may instead be classified as necessary when needed to respect a user’s choices. A convenience setting is not automatically essential merely because it improves the experience.

Browser and app storage may operate separately. When using the Shamo Bet app information page, confirm the official download source before installing an app or APK. Changing browser preferences may not change SDK settings inside an app, and clearing saved preferences may require you to select them again.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Shamo Bet marketing cookies may measure campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repeated advertisements and support more relevant offers where permitted. They do not establish bonus eligibility, guarantee winnings or alter the conditions attached to an offer.

Shamo Bet tracking cookies used for advertising can link interactions across visits or services, depending on their configuration. Users may manage optional marketing through available cookie settings, browser controls or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting these tools may reduce personalization without removing all advertising.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by Shamo Bet for its own website. Third-party cookies may be set by external service providers supplying analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention or support tools. Their involvement can create additional data-processing relationships that require clear disclosure.

No provider names are confirmed in this draft. The category-level description may be updated as providers change. If the operator supplies verified vendor names, the published inventory should include a table showing each cookie category, purpose, example use, duration, whether it is required or optional, and the provider.

Inventory pending confirmation: [Operator to confirm active cookies and similar technologies, provider identities, purposes, consent classifications and expiry settings.]

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Shamo Bet session cookies usually expire when the browser closes or the session ends. Browser session-restoration features can affect this behaviour. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier, helping retain settings across separate visits.

There is no single duration for every category. [Operator to confirm cookie-specific durations in the published inventory.] Local storage and app identifiers may follow different deletion rules. Removing device storage does not necessarily erase server-side account or transaction records; those have separate retention arrangements.

How Users Can Manage Cookies

Website controls, where available, let you choose optional categories for that service. Browser controls offer broader blocking and deletion, while device privacy settings may manage app permissions or advertising identifiers.

1. Step 1: Open the cookie banner or preference centre, if available. Review categories and reject optional analytics or marketing where supported.
2. Step 2: Use your browser’s privacy settings to block selected cookies or clear browsing data. Check whether the action covers one site or all sites.
3. Step 3: Review device and app privacy settings separately. Repeat your choices on other browsers or devices, and return to the preference centre to change consent where supported.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect login, account security, payments and betting or gaming features. Clearing storage can also remove a saved rejection, prompting a new choice. On shared devices, sign out rather than relying only on deletion.

In a typical deposit or withdrawal journey, avoid clearing storage during payment authorization. Afterwards, check the account’s transaction record before repeating an interrupted request. Cookies do not determine transaction limits, fees, processing time or verification requirements; review those in the Terms and Conditions and relevant payment instructions.

Cookies and Personal Data

Online identifiers and cookie records may constitute personal data, particularly when linked to an account, device or activity history. Security-related processing should use information appropriate to its purpose; optional campaign measurement should not receive unnecessary account-holder or payment information.

The Privacy Policy should explain collection, storage, processing, recipients, retention, user rights and contact options. Cookie settings are not a substitute for a privacy request. Any description of secure handling, consent or user rights must match actual practices and applicable Ethiopian privacy requirements.

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 cookie inventory and preference information, with renewed choices where required.

Contact Us

For questions about cookies, consent controls or data protection and privacy, use the verified support route listed on Contact Us. Explain which browser or app you use and the setting concerned. Do not send passwords, one-time codes or full payment credentials. Ask for the complaint-handling procedure if a privacy concern remains unresolved.

Compliance review note: Before publication, the operator’s legal/compliance team must confirm the technology inventory, providers, durations, consent controls and Ethiopian legal requirements, and reconcile this text with the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Replace all confirmation placeholders with verified information.
