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 Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Availability of services and cookie choices may depend on the user’s device, browser, consent settings, eligibility requirements, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file or browser storage item that helps a website remember information about a visitor, browser, or device. For example, a cookie can keep a user signed in while moving between pages or remember a selected language.
Chatki Bet may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. Their exact operation varies, but they can perform functions similar to cookies. Not every technology identifies a user by name; however, some online identifiers may be treated as personal data when connected with account-holder information or other records.
Why Chatki Bet Uses Cookies
Cookies help operate digital betting services consistently across desktop and mobile devices. Depending on the service and the choices available to users, Chatki Bet cookies may be used to:
- keep users signed in and maintain secure account sessions;
- detect suspicious activity, automated abuse, or unusual access patterns;
- remember cookie choices, language, region, and display preferences;
- improve loading speed, navigation, and technical reliability;
- understand which pages and functions are useful or difficult to use;
- measure referrals and campaigns without intentionally publishing private betting details;
- support age restrictions, responsible betting measures, and compliance requirements; and
- protect registration, payment authorization, deposit, and withdrawal-related workflows.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. Optional analytics, personalization, or marketing cookies may depend on consent, the cookie preference center, browser controls, and the regulatory framework that applies to the user.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support essential website functions. They may be used during Chatki Bet login, Chatki Bet registration, secure account access, session continuity, payment-flow protection, age-gate checks, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie preferences.
Without these cookies, users may be unable to remain signed in, complete identity verification, navigate protected account areas, or use transaction-related features correctly. Users should review the Age Restriction Policy and verify the platform’s current legal status in Ethiopia before using restricted services.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help identify suspicious access patterns, protect account-holder information, reduce automated abuse, and preserve the integrity of sport betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. They can also support customer due diligence, account recovery, and investigations into potentially unauthorized sessions.
For security reasons, this policy does not disclose technical detection rules or thresholds that could enable circumvention. Users should follow the account safeguards and responsible betting measures described in the Responsible Gaming policy.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may help Chatki Bet understand page performance, loading errors, device categories, navigation paths, feature use, and content quality. This information can show, for example, whether mobile users encounter an unnecessary step during navigation or whether a page fails to load correctly on a particular browser.
Analytics data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. It should be used to assess and improve the service, not to expose a person’s private account or betting details publicly. The precise analytics tools, processing purposes, and retention settings must be confirmed by the operator.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember useful settings such as language, region, odds format, device preferences, login preference, and cookie consent choices. In a typical mobile scenario, they may help maintain consistent settings when a user moves between the website and supported Chatki Bet app services.
These cookies may be optional where the service can operate without the saved preference. Rejecting them can cause settings to reset between visits.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may help measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and present content considered more relevant to a user’s general interests. Their use does not guarantee access to an offer, bonus, or winning outcome. Any offer remains subject to transparent terms, eligibility requirements, limits, and availability.
Where supported, users may manage marketing cookies through the Chatki Bet preference center, browser controls, device privacy settings, or relevant third-party advertising settings.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Chatki Bet or through its official domain. Third-party cookies may be placed by service providers supporting analytics, hosting, security, payment verification, advertising measurement, fraud prevention, or customer support.
No vendor names are listed here because each provider must be confirmed by the operator. The following category-level summary should be updated when verified vendor names, purposes, and retention periods are available.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Status | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core operation and session continuity | Secure login or consent storage | Session or operator-defined period | Required | Chatki Bet or confirmed service provider |
| Security | Account and service protection | Suspicious-session detection | Operator-defined period | Usually required | Chatki Bet or confirmed security provider |
| Analytics | Performance and usage measurement | Page-load or navigation analysis | Operator-defined period | Optional where supported | Confirmed analytics provider |
| Functional | Remember user preferences | Language or odds format | Session or operator-defined period | Required or optional by function | Chatki Bet or confirmed service provider |
| Marketing | Campaign and referral measurement | Frequency control or attribution | Operator-defined period | Optional where supported | Confirmed advertising provider |
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 or changes the relevant settings.
Retention should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for each stated purpose. Exact periods can differ by cookie and provider. Chatki Bet should publish confirmed durations in its preference center or cookie inventory rather than relying on unverified estimates.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Users can usually manage cookies through the website cookie banner or preference center, if available, as well as through browser and device privacy controls. A recommended process is:
- Step 1: Open the cookie banner or preference center and review each category.
- Step 2: Accept or reject optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies where separate controls are provided.
- Step 3: Use browser or device settings to block cookies, clear browsing data, or remove stored site information.
- Step 4: Sign in again and check whether essential account functions operate correctly.
- Step 5: If a setting is unclear or repeatedly resets, use the official Contact Us channel.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect login, account security, age checks, payment authorization, deposit or withdrawal procedures, and access to betting or gaming features. Clearing cookies can also sign a user out and remove saved preferences.
As a practical security measure, users should confirm that they are on the official domain before entering credentials, avoid unofficial APK files or communication channels, and never share passwords or verification codes. Cookie controls do not replace strong account-security practices.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may involve personal data, device information, IP-related data, or online identifiers. When connected with registration details, transaction records, support history, or identity verification information, these identifiers may contribute to an identifiable user profile.
The Chatki Bet Privacy Policy should explain the applicable purposes, legal basis where required, data storage, secure handling of personal data, user rights, disclosures, and complaint-handling procedure. Processing must reflect the operator’s actual practices and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Chatki Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website features, technologies, providers, retention practices, legal requirements, or compliance obligations change. Material updates should be identified by a revised “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, communicated through the website or cookie preference interface.
Contact Us
Questions about Chatki Bet tracking cookies, analytics cookies, marketing cookies, session cookies, or privacy choices should be submitted through the authorized Contact Us channel. Users should not send passwords, one-time codes, or unnecessary identity documents in an initial enquiry.
