This page explains how Beguma 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.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Availability of services may depend on eligibility, local requirements, and the operator’s terms. Cookie use does not establish licensing or regulatory status; users should verify that status independently.

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 keep your account session active as you move between pages or remember a language setting.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers, if used. These can record an interaction, store a preference, or help a website or app recognise a device. In this policy, “cookies” includes these technologies where relevant. Their exact use depends on the service and your settings.
Why Beguma Bet Uses Cookies
Cookies can help the platform:
- Keep users signed in and maintain continuity during account activities.
- Protect accounts against suspicious activity and automated abuse.
- Remember cookie choices, language settings, and other preferences.
- Improve loading speed, navigation, and mobile usability.
- Understand which pages are useful and identify technical problems.
- Measure campaigns without including sensitive account details in advertising reports.
- Support legal, security, age-restriction, and responsible gaming obligations where applicable.
Some cookies are necessary for the platform to work. Optional cookies may depend on consent, applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, and available browser or device controls. Classification depends on a cookie’s actual purpose, not merely its name.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support essential functions such as Beguma Bet login, Beguma Bet 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.
For example, a session cookie can help the service recognise that an account holder has already signed in. Cookies do not replace identity verification, customer due diligence, or payment authorization where these are required.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help detect suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, and protect the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. They can support safer sessions without guaranteeing that every threat will be prevented.
Cookies necessary for account protection may be treated as essential; optional tracking should not be classified as essential merely because it has a secondary security use. Account rules are described in the Terms and Conditions. Where implemented, cookies may also support responsible gaming controls, but clearing cookies does not cancel account-level self-exclusion or other restrictions.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may help Beguma Bet understand page usage, loading issues, device types, navigation paths, and content quality. For example, they can help identify navigation problems within Beguma Bet games without publishing a player’s private betting details.
Analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. Pseudonymized information can still be personal data; it should not be described as fully anonymous without verification. Optional analytics should follow the consent rules applicable to the service.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, or a login preference. Related storage technologies may support comparable settings in the Beguma Bet app, where available. A preference needed to remember a cookie choice may be essential, while optional personalization may be treated differently.
Remembering a login preference is not the same as safely storing a password. On shared devices, avoid saved sign-ins and sign out after using your account.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and help display more relevant offers. They do not guarantee eligibility for an offer, a bonus, or any betting outcome.
Where supported, users can manage Beguma Bet marketing cookies through cookie settings, browser controls, or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting optional marketing cookies should not, by itself, prevent access to essential account functions. It may not remove every advertisement.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Beguma Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support. Embedded services may also use their own technologies, subject to the applicable settings and provider policies.
The table below describes possible categories, not a verified inventory. Provider names, exact cookie identifiers, and retention periods require operator confirmation. This list may be updated as services change.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Essential functionality | Login continuity | [Confirm] | Required | Operator or infrastructure provider; confirm |
| Security | Account protection | Abuse detection | [Confirm] | Required where essential | Operator or security provider; confirm |
| Analytics | Service improvement | Loading-error measurement | [Confirm] | Optional where applicable | Analytics provider, if used; confirm |
| Functional | Remember settings | Language preference | [Confirm] | Depends on purpose | Operator or functionality provider; confirm |
| Marketing | Campaign measurement | Referral attribution | [Confirm] | Optional | Advertising provider, if used; confirm |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed or the session ends. Browser session-restoration features may affect this. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier. Similar storage technologies may remain until cleared or removed by the service.
Duration depends on the purpose and configuration. Deleting a cookie does not necessarily delete information already held in account or transaction records, which is subject to separate retention rules.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review each category and accept or reject optional cookies as supported.
- Step 2: Use browser settings to block cookies, restrict third-party cookies, or clear browsing data. Device privacy settings may offer separate controls for app-related identifiers.
- Step 3: Save your choices and check them on each browser or device you use. For help locating available controls, use Contact Us.
Category-level controls allow more selective choices than blocking all cookies. Clearing cookies may sign you out or reset preferences. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect login, account security, payment flows, or betting and gaming features. Withdrawing consent affects future optional use; it does not automatically erase previously collected records.
In a typical account scenario, check the website address against an independently verified official source before entering credentials or downloading an app or APK. Before a deposit or withdrawal, review identity-verification requirements, transaction limits, fees, and processing times. Cookies do not prove that a payment succeeded: check the account’s transaction record. Keep error details for support, but never share passwords or one-time codes.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies involve personal data or online identifiers, such as device identifiers or information linked to an account session. Combining identifiers with other records may make a person identifiable.
Our Privacy Policy explains data collection, storage, processing, recipients, retention, user rights, and contact options. Cookie practices must reflect the operator’s actual processing and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements. A cookie choice is not a substitute for identity verification or other applicable compliance requirements.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Beguma Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. The publication date should identify the latest version. Where required, changes to optional cookie purposes should be reflected in the consent process.
