This page explains how ZPlay 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.
Your choices depend on the technology’s purpose: some storage is needed to provide a requested service, while optional tracking may require consent. This policy describes potential uses; the operator must confirm the active cookies, providers and controls before publication.
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 connect successive page visits to the same signed-in session, avoiding a new login at every step. Cookies do not themselves verify identity or establish eligibility to use a betting account.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage and device identifiers, if used. Some send information when content loads; others retain settings on a device. This policy covers those technologies where they serve comparable purposes, even if they are not technically cookies.
Why ZPlay Bet Uses Cookies
Moving between account pages should not interrupt a valid session or lose a saved privacy choice. ZPlay Bet cookies may help keep users signed in securely, recognize suspicious activity, remember language settings, improve loading and navigation, and identify pages that need improvement.
Other uses may include measuring campaigns without exposing sensitive account details, supporting security and legal obligations, and maintaining applicable responsible betting measures. Campaign measurement should not require disclosing private betting histories to advertising services. Necessary cookies support essential functions; optional uses may depend on consent, available settings and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
Before registration, check the current domain through a verified operator source, operator identification, eligibility requirements and current regulatory status against the competent authority’s latest information. Cookies are not evidence of licensing or regulatory approval. Read the Terms and Conditions for account, payment and service requirements.
Types of Cookies We May Use
The categories below describe purposes, not a confirmed inventory. A cookie’s classification should reflect what it actually does, rather than its name or the provider supplying it.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support basic functionality, including registration, ZPlay Bet login, secure account access, session continuity, payment flow protection, essential fraud prevention and cookie preference storage. Where implemented, they may also maintain age-gate checks described in the Age Restriction Policy.
During a deposit or withdrawal request, session storage may help maintain continuity between steps. It does not replace payment authorization, identity verification or customer due diligence. Users should separately check verification requirements, transaction limits, fees and processing times; accepting cookies does not approve a transaction.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security-related storage may help identify suspicious session patterns, reduce automated abuse and protect account access and the integrity of betting, keno, live betting and gaming areas. Detailed detection rules are not published because disclosure could weaken these safeguards.
Only storage genuinely required for essential protection should be treated as necessary; broader tracking needs its own assessment. Cookies may support applicable controls described under Responsible Gaming, but must not replace account-level enforcement of self-exclusion or deposit limits. Removing browser storage should not be treated as removing those restrictions.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
ZPlay Bet analytics cookies may show which pages are useful, where loading fails, what device types access the service and how visitors navigate. For example, performance information could help diagnose a slow transition to the games section without publishing anyone’s private betting details.
Analytics may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. Pseudonymization means replacing direct identifiers, not guaranteeing anonymity. Collection should be limited to the improvement purpose, with optional analytics controlled through consent settings where supported.
Functional Cookies
Remembered settings can make repeat visits easier: language, region, odds format, device preferences and a selected login preference are possible examples. Essential cookie-choice storage may instead belong in the necessary category; a convenience preference is not automatically essential.
Mobile browser storage and storage used by the ZPlay Bet app may operate separately. Changing browser settings may not change app permissions or SDK activity. Before downloading an app or APK, verify its source and review permissions; the availability and number of setup steps must be checked against current operator instructions.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
ZPlay Bet marketing cookies may measure campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertising and support more relevant offers. They do not guarantee bonuses, eligibility or winnings. Any bonus conditions remain separate and should be checked for restrictions and transparent terms.
Users may manage ZPlay Bet tracking cookies used for advertising through website cookie settings, browser controls or third-party advertising settings where available. Rejecting optional marketing should not be represented as disabling essential account access.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by ZPlay Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by external service providers involved in analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention or support tools. Their purpose and access to information require assessment; an external provider’s involvement does not automatically make its cookies necessary.
Provider names have not been confirmed for this draft, so this policy uses category-level descriptions. The list may be updated. Once the operator supplies verified details, a provider table should identify each category, purpose, example use, duration, required or optional status, and provider. No vendor or integration is asserted here.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
ZPlay Bet session cookies usually expire when the browser closes or the session ends, although browser session-restoration features can affect this behavior. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier, allowing a setting to remain available on a later visit.
Exact lifetimes depend on the individual technology and configuration. [Operator to confirm cookie names and retention periods.] Local storage and app identifiers may have different deletion rules. Deleting a device cookie does not necessarily delete information already received and retained by the operator or a provider.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Site controls manage the operator’s available choices; browser and device controls manage storage or permissions more broadly. Use both where needed, especially if you access the service on more than one device.
- Step 1: Open the cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review categories and reject optional analytics or marketing where supported, then save your choice.
- Step 2: Check browser privacy settings to block selected cookies or clear site data. This may sign you out and remove remembered settings. Repeat for each browser you use.
- Step 3: Review device privacy controls and app permissions separately. Revisit the site’s choices after clearing storage, as a saved preference may also have been removed.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may disrupt login, account security, payment steps or betting and gaming functions. Removing cookies is not equivalent to closing an account or deleting account records. If a preference does not save, note the browser or app version and the affected category before contacting support; never send a password or one-time security code.
Cookies and Personal Data
Online identifiers, IP addresses, session references and device information can constitute personal data, particularly when linked to account-holder information. Read the Privacy Policy for information about collection, storage, processing, user rights and contact options concerning ZPlay Bet privacy and cookies.
Purposes, access controls and retention must match actual data practices and applicable Ethiopian privacy requirements. Consent to optional cookies should not be described as blanket permission for unrelated processing. Cookie deletion, withdrawal of consent and a personal-data request are distinct actions and may have different effects.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
ZPlay Bet may revise this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements or website features change. Material changes should be clearly communicated, with renewed consent sought where required. Review the policy alongside the current cookie settings rather than assuming earlier choices cover new purposes.
Last updated: [Operator to insert approved publication date.]
Contact Us
For questions about cookie purposes, available controls or privacy requests, use Contact Us and check the currently listed official communication channel. Explain which device and service you used, without including sensitive account credentials. Ask for the applicable complaint-handling procedure if an issue remains unresolved.
Compliance review note: Before publication, the operator’s legal and compliance team must verify the cookie inventory, provider details, durations, consent controls and app practices, and reconcile this text with the Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations. Replace confirmation placeholders with verified information.
