Shamo Bet Cookie Policy

This page explains how Shamo 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. Understanding Shamo Bet cookies helps you distinguish essential account functions from optional tracking and decide which settings to allow.

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 may allow the next page you open to recognize that you have already signed in, rather than asking you to log in again.

Similar technologies can include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers, if used. These may record an interaction or retain a setting without creating a traditional cookie. This policy covers those technologies where they perform comparable functions. Browser cookie controls do not necessarily manage every form of app or device storage.

Why Shamo Bet Uses Cookies

Some website functions need continuity between pages. Cookies may keep users signed in securely, help identify suspicious activity, remember cookie choices and language preferences, and support smoother navigation. Performance information can help identify slow-loading pages, while usage measurements can indicate which content is useful.

Campaign measurement may help assess referral activity without exposing sensitive account details to advertisers. Cookies may also support legal, security, and responsible gaming obligations where applicable. They are not a substitute for identity verification, customer due diligence, or account-level restrictions.

Necessary cookies support essential operations; optional cookies serve additional purposes and may depend on consent, applicable requirements, or browser settings. A security-related label alone does not establish that every use is strictly necessary: classification should reflect what the technology actually does.

Types of Cookies We May Use

The categories below describe possible uses, not a verified inventory of every technology deployed. Availability can differ between the website, mobile browser, and app-related services.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential cookies may support registration, secure account access, payment flow protection, session continuity, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie preferences. During Shamo Bet login, a session identifier can help maintain authentication as you move between account pages.

These cookies may also preserve age-gate checks described in the Age Restriction Policy. Remembering an age-gate response does not establish eligibility or replace required verification. Before registering, check the official domain, operator identification, eligibility requirements, and current legal status information for Ethiopia; a cookie banner is not evidence of licensing or regulatory approval.

Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

Security technologies may help detect suspicious session patterns, reduce automated abuse, and protect account access. Their purpose can include protecting the integrity of sport betting, keno, live betting, and other gaming areas without disclosing detection rules that could facilitate misuse.

In a typical deposit or withdrawal journey, session controls may support continuity, but they do not authorize a payment or replace KYC requirements. Review the Terms and Conditions for verification requirements, transaction limits, fees, processing times, and withdrawal procedures. Responsible betting measures, including deposit limits or self-exclusion where offered, should be checked through the Responsible Gaming guidance, not assumed from a stored browser setting.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Shamo Bet analytics cookies may help assess page usage, device types, navigation paths, loading problems, and content quality. For example, repeated navigation away from a slow page may indicate a usability issue rather than a preference about betting content.

Analytics should improve the service, not expose private betting details publicly. Information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable; neither description automatically means it is anonymous. The data collected, access permissions, and consent requirements depend on the actual implementation.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, and a selected login preference. Cookie consent records may also be retained, although storing a necessary consent choice is different from optional personalization.

Preferences may not carry across browsers or devices. For the Shamo Bet app, check the authorized download channel before installing an app or APK and review device permissions separately. App storage and mobile-browser cookies can require different controls; deleting one may not delete the other.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Shamo Bet marketing cookies may measure campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and support more relevant offers. They do not establish entitlement to a bonus or predict winnings. Any offer remains subject to its published eligibility rules and conditions.

Shamo Bet tracking cookies used for advertising may be managed through website cookie settings, browser controls, or third-party advertising settings where available. Rejecting optional advertising cookies does not necessarily remove all advertisements, and accepting them should not make sensitive account or payment details available for advertising purposes.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by Shamo Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers involved in analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or support tools, where integrated. A provider’s role does not by itself determine whether its cookies are necessary or optional.

No vendor names are confirmed in this text. The provider list may be updated as services change. Once verified, the operator should publish an inventory showing each cookie category, purpose, example use, duration, required or optional status, and provider. Third-party tools should be assessed for their own storage practices and privacy controls rather than treated as equivalent to first-party cookies.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Shamo Bet session cookies usually expire when a session ends or the browser closes, although browser session-restoration settings can affect this behavior. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless removed earlier, allowing a preference to survive a later visit.

Exact lifetimes depend on the cookie’s purpose and configuration and require operator confirmation. Device storage duration is not necessarily the same as retention of related server records. Clearing a cookie therefore does not automatically erase account information, transaction records, or previously collected analytics.

How Users Can Manage Cookies

Choose controls according to where the information is stored. Website preferences, browser settings, and device privacy settings perform different tasks.

1. Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review the categories and reject optional analytics or marketing cookies where supported. Save your choices.
2. Step 2: Use browser privacy settings to restrict cookies or clear stored browsing data. Check whether changes apply to this website only or to all websites.
3. Step 3: Review device privacy and app settings separately. Repeat your choices on other browsers or devices, and check them again after deleting stored preferences.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may interrupt login, account protection, payment flows, or betting and gaming features. Avoid clearing session data during a deposit or withdrawal request. If a transaction appears interrupted, check its recorded status before resubmitting it. Withdrawing optional consent generally affects future collection; it does not automatically remove information already lawfully retained.

Cookies and Personal Data

Cookie identifiers, device information, and browsing activity may constitute personal data, particularly when linked to an account. Consult the Privacy Policy for details about collection, storage, processing, user rights, and contact options. Shamo Bet privacy and cookies information should explain the same practices consistently.

Secure handling of personal data and any consent or other processing basis must be assessed against applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations and the operator’s actual practices. Cookies do not replace age restrictions, identity verification, or consumer protection requirements. This page does not certify compliance or approval by a competent authority.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

Shamo Bet may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. Review it periodically, particularly after changes to the preference interface. Where required, material changes should be accompanied by appropriate notice or renewed consent.

Compliance review note: Before publication, the operator’s legal and compliance team must verify deployed technologies, providers, consent controls, retention periods, and Ethiopian legal requirements, and reconcile this text with the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Unconfirmed examples must not be presented as verified service features.
