ZPlay Bet Cookie Policy

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.

This policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. The technologies used may vary by service, device, and feature. Any optional tracking should be assessed against applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations and the operator’s confirmed data practices.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file stored in your browser that helps a website remember information about a visitor or device. For example, it can help maintain a signed-in session as you move between pages or remember a language selection on a later visit.

Similar technologies include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers, if used. These may record interactions, store settings, or help an app recognize a device. In this policy, “cookies” includes these related technologies where relevant; browser cookie controls may not manage all of them.

Why ZPlay Bet Uses Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the platform to work. Others support optional improvements or measurement and may depend on your consent, available settings, and applicable requirements. Their practical purposes may include:

• Keeping users signed in securely while navigating account pages.
• Identifying suspicious activity and reducing unauthorized account access.
• Remembering cookie choices, language selections, and useful preferences.
• Improving loading speed and identifying navigation problems.
• Understanding which pages are useful and measuring campaigns without unnecessarily including sensitive account details.
• Supporting legal, security, eligibility, and responsible gaming controls where applicable.

Cookies do not replace identity verification, customer due diligence, or payment authorization. They also do not guarantee account security or establish a user’s eligibility to use the service.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies support essential functionality, including login, registration, secure account access, payment-flow protection, session continuity, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie choices. Where implemented, they may also support age-gate checks.

For example, a session cookie may help the service recognize an authenticated user moving from account information to a payment screen. Blocking it may interrupt that process. The ZPlay Bet login and ZPlay Bet registration functions may depend on essential storage. See the Age Restriction Policy for eligibility information.

Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

Security-related cookies may help identify suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, support safer sessions, and protect the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. Their purpose is account and service protection, rather than advertising.

Cookies may support responsible betting measures, but controls such as self-exclusion and deposit limits should not rely solely on browser storage. Clearing cookies does not necessarily remove account-level restrictions. Consult the Responsible Gaming information for available measures. Detailed detection rules are not disclosed because doing so could weaken safeguards.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies may help identify page-loading issues, device types, navigation paths, and content that needs improvement. For example, usage information may indicate whether visitors encounter difficulties navigating the ZPlay Bet games section or moving between football, keno, and live pages.

Analytics should improve service quality, not publicly expose private betting details. Data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. Pseudonymized information may still be personal data; it should not automatically be described as anonymous.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, or a chosen login preference. Cookie consent choices may instead be stored using strictly necessary technology. Classification depends on the actual purpose, not just the cookie’s name.

The ZPlay Bet app, where available, may use device storage or SDKs rather than browser cookies. Disabling optional preference storage may mean selecting settings again. A remembered login preference is not a substitute for protecting passwords or signing out on shared devices.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies may measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, and help present relevant offers. They do not determine winnings or guarantee bonus eligibility. Any offer remains subject to its published conditions and eligibility requirements.

Where available, you can manage marketing tracking through website cookie settings, browser controls, or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting marketing cookies should not, by itself, prevent access to essential account functions.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by ZPlay Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by external service providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support.

A provider’s role determines whether its technology is essential or optional; not every third-party cookie is an advertising cookie. External providers may process identifiers under their own terms or under instructions from the operator, depending on the arrangement.

No vendor names or specific cookie inventory are confirmed in this draft. Category descriptions may be updated when the operator verifies its providers. Before publication, a confirmed inventory should identify cookie names, providers, purposes, durations, and whether each item is required or optional.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Session cookies usually expire when the browser closes or the session ends, although browser session-restoration settings can affect this. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier.

Duration depends on the technology and purpose. No fixed retention periods are stated here because they require operator confirmation. The storage period for a cookie is also separate from the retention period for account, verification, or transaction records.

How Users Can Manage Cookies

1. Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review the categories and accept or reject optional analytics and marketing cookies separately where supported.
2. Step 2: Use browser privacy settings to block cookies, restrict third-party cookies, or clear browsing data. Settings differ between browsers; consult the browser’s help instructions.
3. Step 3: Review device privacy settings and app tracking permissions where relevant. Repeat your choices on other browsers or devices if preferences are not synchronized.

Where consent is used, an available preference center should allow you to change or withdraw it. Withdrawal affects future consent-based tracking; it does not automatically delete previously collected information.

Preference controls offer a targeted choice; blocking all cookies is broader and can disrupt essential functions. Disabling necessary storage may affect login, account security, payments, and betting or gaming features. Clearing cookies may sign you out or reset preferences.

Before registration, verify the official domain through a reliable, confirmed communication channel and check the operator’s current regulatory status. Before installing an app or APK, confirm its source. Before a deposit or withdrawal, review verification requirements, fees, limits, and processing times in the Terms and Conditions. Cookie choices do not change those requirements. If a payment is interrupted, check its transaction record before retrying.

Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies involve personal data, such as online identifiers, device information, or records linked to an account. A cookie need not contain your name to raise data protection and privacy considerations.

The Privacy Policy explains data collection, storage, processing, sharing, applicable user rights, and contact options. Cookie purposes, consent arrangements, and personal-data handling must accurately reflect the operator’s practices and applicable Ethiopian requirements. This policy does not claim regulatory approval or verified compliance.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

ZPlay Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. Material changes should be communicated through an appropriate website notice, with renewed consent requested where required.
