This Chatki Bet Cookie Policy explains how Chatki Bet uses cookies and similar technologies on its Ethiopian website, mobile site, and app-related services where applicable. These tools 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 where applicable.
Cookies do not replace the need for users to protect their passwords, review account activity, and use only the official service channel. Before registering or signing in, users should confirm the website address, read the relevant Terms and Conditions, and verify the current regulatory status under applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files, or browser storage items, saved on a visitor’s device when they access a website. They help the site recognise a browser or remember certain choices during a visit or on a later return. For example, a cookie can help keep a user signed in after a successful Chatki Bet login, remember a selected language, or retain a cookie-consent choice.
Chatki Bet may also use related technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits (SDKs), and device identifiers where these are used by the service. In plain terms, these technologies help the platform operate, assess whether pages load correctly, protect accounts, and understand how users move through the site. They are not all used for the same reason, and not every technology necessarily applies to every device or service.
Why Chatki Bet Uses Cookies
Chatki Bet cookies can serve operational and protective purposes throughout the account journey. They may keep a session active after a user signs in, help identify unusual access attempts, preserve cookie preferences, and support smoother navigation between pages. They may also help the platform understand whether pages are useful, detect loading issues, and measure the effectiveness of a campaign without publicly exposing private account or betting information.
Some cookies are essential because a betting and gaming service cannot reliably provide secure account access, payment-flow safeguards, or age-related controls without them. Other cookies, including certain Chatki Bet analytics cookies and Chatki Bet marketing cookies, may be optional and may depend on consent, browser choices, device settings, or the availability of a preference tool.
From a practical user-protection perspective, cookie controls should be considered alongside account security. Users should review eligibility requirements, account-holder information, verification requests, transaction limits, fees, and withdrawal conditions before using account features. Availability may depend on local requirements, the operator’s terms, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support functions that users reasonably expect to work when they visit the service. This may include registration and login continuity, secure account access, payment-flow protection, session management, age-gate checks, fraud prevention, and saving the user’s cookie preference decision. Without these cookies, important parts of the website may not function correctly.
For example, a cookie may help maintain the sequence between Chatki Bet registration and account access, or help apply an age restriction in line with the Age Restriction Policy. These cookies are generally not intended for advertising choices; their primary role is safe and reliable service delivery.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies help the platform recognise potentially suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, support safer user sessions, and protect the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. They may help distinguish a normal session from activity that requires additional checks, subject to the operator’s security procedures and applicable requirements.
Chatki Bet does not disclose technical anti-fraud rules that could assist misuse. Users can nevertheless take sensible steps: use a unique password, avoid sharing verification codes, sign out on shared devices, and report unexpected account activity through the authorised Contact Us channel. Cookie-based safeguards may work alongside identity verification, customer due diligence, and responsible betting measures described in the Responsible Gaming information.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help Chatki Bet assess how the website behaves in real use. They may indicate page loading issues, device categories, navigation paths, feature usage, or whether content is easy to find. This can assist improvements to areas such as Chatki Bet football, gaming pages, and live-service navigation.
Where appropriate, analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized. It should be used to improve the service and diagnose performance concerns, not to make private betting details public. The precise data collected and the tools used should be confirmed against the operator’s actual practices before publication.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember settings that make repeat visits more convenient. Depending on the service and device, this may include language, region, odds format, display choices, login preference, mobile-browser settings, or cookie-consent selections. A functional cookie can prevent a user from having to make the same non-essential choice every time a page is opened.
These settings do not remove the user’s responsibility to check current terms, limits, and eligibility before using a feature. Mobile users should also obtain any app or APK only through an authorised channel identified on the Chatki Bet app page, where available.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies may help measure campaign performance, identify referral sources, limit repeated advertisements, and make communications more relevant. They may be placed by Chatki Bet or, where used, by third-party service providers acting in categories such as advertising measurement or campaign delivery.
These cookies do not guarantee bonuses, winnings, or access to any offer. Users can review promotional conditions separately, including any information associated with a Chatki Bet bonus code. Optional marketing cookies may be managed through a cookie preference centre, browser controls, or relevant third-party advertising settings where available.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Chatki Bet through the website a user is visiting. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers that support functions such as analytics, hosting, security, payment verification, advertising measurement, fraud prevention, or customer support. A third party should only receive information where there is an appropriate operational, legal, or contractual basis under the operator’s data protection and privacy practices.
Vendor names, exact cookie names, and specific durations are not listed here because they must reflect the live technical configuration. The category list may be updated when providers, technologies, or service features change.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core access and protection | Secure session or consent storage | Session or persistent, depending on function | Required | Chatki Bet or relevant operational service provider |
| Security and fraud prevention | Account and service integrity | Suspicious-session assessment | Depends on the security purpose | Usually required | Chatki Bet or security service provider |
| Analytics and performance | Service improvement | Loading and navigation analysis | Session or persistent | May be optional | Analytics or hosting service provider |
| Marketing and advertising | Campaign measurement | Referral or advertisement frequency measurement | Depends on the campaign setting | May be optional | Advertising or measurement service provider |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookie duration depends on its purpose. Session cookies usually expire when a browser is closed or a session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless a user deletes them earlier through browser or device controls. A security-related cookie may need a different lifecycle from a language preference or marketing cookie.
Users should not assume that clearing cookies removes all account records. Account data, payment authorization records, transaction records, verification information, and complaint-handling records may be retained separately in accordance with the Privacy Policy, the operator’s terms, and applicable compliance requirements.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Users can control many non-essential cookies, but the available options depend on the browser, device, and service configuration. The recommended order is:
- Step 1: Use the website cookie banner or preference centre, if available, to accept, reject, or adjust optional categories.
- Step 2: Check browser privacy settings to block, allow, or delete cookies for all sites or selected sites.
- Step 3: Review device privacy settings and clear browsing data if a shared phone or computer has been used.
- Step 4: Revisit the website after changing settings and confirm that login, payment, or gameplay features still work as expected.
Rejecting optional analytics or marketing cookies may reduce personalised functionality without preventing general browsing. However, disabling strictly necessary cookies can affect login, account security, payment processing, age checks, and access to betting or gaming features. If settings appear unclear, users may consult the Privacy Policy or request assistance through the official support route.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies and similar technologies may process personal data or online identifiers, particularly when they are connected to an account, device, session, or security assessment. Details about data collection, storage, processing, user rights, and contact options should be read in the Privacy Policy.
This Cookie Policy should be interpreted consistently with the operator’s actual data practices, applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, and consumer-protection requirements. Users should review the latest policy information and raise questions where a purpose, choice, or data-handling practice is not clear.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Chatki Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website features, technologies, providers, legal requirements, or security practices change. Users should review this page periodically, particularly before using a new device, browser, account feature, or communication channel.
Contact Us
Questions about Chatki Bet privacy and cookies, cookie preferences, or the use of similar technologies may be sent through Contact Us. When contacting support, avoid sending passwords, one-time codes, or unnecessary sensitive information. Use the official communication channel and provide only the details needed to identify the cookie or account-access issue.
Compliance note: This page requires legal and compliance review before publication to confirm current cookie technologies, providers, consent mechanisms, retention settings, data-processing practices, and alignment with applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
