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 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 Chatki Bet Privacy Policy and the operator’s applicable terms. Availability of services may depend on eligibility requirements, local restrictions, the operator’s licensing and regulatory status, 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. It allows the website to remember limited information about the visitor, browser, or device. For example, a cookie may keep a user signed in while moving between pages or remember a selected language.
Chatki Bet may also use comparable technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. These tools perform similar functions in websites, mobile services, and apps. Their use depends on the technology currently implemented by the operator.
Why Chatki Bet Uses Cookies
In a typical betting-platform user journey, cookies help connect registration, identity verification, login, account navigation, payment authorization, and responsible betting controls without requiring the user to repeat the same action on every page. Chatki Bet may use them to:
- keep eligible users signed in through a secure session;
- protect accounts and identify suspicious or automated activity;
- remember cookie choices, language, region, and display preferences;
- improve loading speed, mobile access, and page navigation;
- understand which pages and functions are useful or experience errors;
- measure campaign and referral performance without publicly exposing private betting details;
- support age restrictions, customer due diligence, responsible betting measures, and other compliance requirements where applicable.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the service to operate. Optional analytics, personalization, or marketing cookies may depend on the user’s consent, the available preference centre, or browser and device settings.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support essential website functions. They may maintain the Chatki Bet login session, protect the registration process, preserve session continuity, store cookie preferences, and support secure account access. They may also assist with age-gate checks, payment-flow protection, fraud prevention, and the correct operation of account controls.
These cookies are generally required rather than optional. Blocking them may prevent registration, login, identity verification, deposits, withdrawals, or access to betting and gaming functions. Users should review the Age Restriction Policy and verify the platform’s current legal status in Ethiopia before creating or using an account.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help identify unusual session behaviour, repeated failed access attempts, automated requests, or other patterns requiring review. They can support safer account sessions and protect the integrity of sports betting, live betting, keno, and gaming areas. They may also help preserve a record of security-related events for complaint handling or account review.
For security reasons, this policy does not disclose detailed anti-fraud rules or detection thresholds. Account holders should use their own devices where possible, avoid sharing login details, and report unexpected activity through an authorized service channel. Further requirements may be stated in the Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming information.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help Chatki Bet understand page usage, loading problems, device types, navigation paths, and content quality. For example, they may indicate whether users can reach the football or payment area on a mobile device, whether a page fails to load, or whether navigation requires too many steps.
Analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. It should be used to improve the service rather than expose a person’s private betting details publicly. Users can review the available content through the Chatki Bet games section, but the presence of a page does not by itself confirm availability in every region or for every account.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember useful settings such as language, region, odds format, device preferences, login preference, and cookie consent choices. On mobile services, they may help retain an appropriate display or direct an eligible user to the correct app-related page.
When considering the Chatki Bet app or an APK, users should verify the official domain, publisher information, requested permissions, version details, and authorized download channel. A browser cookie preference and an app privacy setting are not always the same; both should be reviewed separately.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and help display content considered more relevant. They do not guarantee a bonus, winning outcome, account approval, or access to a particular offer. All offers remain subject to eligibility requirements, transparent terms, limits, and local availability.
Where supported, users may reject marketing cookies through the cookie preference centre, browser controls, device privacy settings, or relevant third-party advertising settings. Rejecting them should not remove strictly necessary account or security functions, although some personalized content may no longer appear.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Chatki Bet or its website domain. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, security, hosting, payment verification, fraud prevention, advertising measurement, or customer support.
Specific vendor names should be published only after confirmation by the operator. The category-level list below may be updated when providers, technologies, or retention settings change.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core service operation | Login session or preference storage | Session or defined period | Required | Chatki Bet or essential service provider |
| Security | Account and platform protection | Suspicious activity detection | Session or defined period | Usually required | Security or fraud-prevention provider |
| Analytics | Usage and performance measurement | Page-load or navigation analysis | Defined period | Optional where consent applies | Analytics provider, to be confirmed |
| Functional | Remember user settings | Language or odds format | Session or defined period | May vary | Chatki Bet or functionality provider |
| Marketing | Campaign and referral measurement | Advertisement frequency control | Defined period | Optional where supported | Advertising provider, to be confirmed |
Exact cookie names, confirmed providers, and retention periods should be inserted following a current technical audit: [operator confirmation required].
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 the user deletes them earlier. Duration varies according to purpose, security requirements, consent status, and provider configuration. Chatki Bet should not state a precise retention period unless it has been technically verified.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
A website preference centre offers site-specific control, while browser settings may affect Chatki Bet and other websites. Device privacy settings may separately control app identifiers or permissions.
- Step 1: Open the cookie banner or preference centre, if available, and review each category.
- Step 2: Accept or reject optional analytics and marketing cookies according to your preference.
- Step 3: Use browser or device settings to block cookies, limit identifiers, or clear browsing data.
- Step 4: Sign in again and check whether account, language, and security functions operate as expected.
- Step 5: If a necessary function fails, restore essential cookies or contact the operator through an official support channel.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect login, account security, payment authorization, transaction records, or access to betting and gaming features. Before deleting cookies during a deposit or withdrawal procedure, users should complete or safely exit the transaction and retain any relevant reference information. Questions can be sent through the official Contact Us page.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may involve personal data or online identifiers, such as an IP address, device identifier, account-session reference, or usage information. Their handling should follow the operator’s documented data practices, data protection and privacy obligations, and applicable Ethiopian regulatory framework.
The Privacy Policy explains relevant collection, storage, processing, user rights, secure handling of personal data, and contact options. Users should also check what account-holder information is required for identity verification and customer due diligence. Chatki Bet should not use cookie wording to replace disclosures required for KYC requirements, payments, responsible betting measures, or personal-data processing.
Practical Checks for Ethiopian Users
As part of an expert review of an online betting service, users should compare verifiable factors rather than promotional claims: the number of registration and login steps, identity verification requirements, mobile accessibility, disclosure of fees and transaction limits, stated processing time, withdrawal procedure, privacy controls, and complaint-handling channels.
- Confirm that the domain and support page are official communication channels.
- Verify operator identification and current licensing and regulatory status using reliable information from the competent authority.
- Read eligibility, age restriction, deposit-limit, self-exclusion, payment, and withdrawal terms before registration.
- Do not continue if fees, limits, requested permissions, or data uses are unclear.
- Keep browsers and devices updated, use a unique password, and do not share verification codes.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Chatki Bet may update this policy when website features, apps, cookie providers, legal requirements, security practices, or responsible gaming controls change. The revised version should show a publication or effective date so users can identify material updates.
