This page explains how Mezzo 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.
Last updated: [Operator to confirm publication date]. The categories below describe possible uses; the technologies actually deployed, their providers, and their lifetimes must be confirmed in the cookie settings or inventory. This policy should be read with the Privacy Policy and the applicable account terms.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser that helps a website remember information about a visitor or device. For example, it can help keep an account session active as you move between pages, or remember a language choice so you do not need to select it again.
Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), and device identifiers. Local storage saves information in your browser; pixels and tags can record page visits or events; SDKs may perform similar functions in an app. Where used, these technologies are covered by this policy according to their purpose. A cookie is not, by itself, proof of a person’s identity or eligibility to use the service.
Why Mezzo Bet Uses Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the platform to function. Others support optional features, measurement, or advertising and may depend on consent, where required, and available privacy settings. Their practical purposes may include:
- Keeping users signed in securely while they navigate account pages.
- Detecting suspicious activity and helping protect account access and payment flows.
- Remembering cookie choices, language preferences, and display settings.
- Improving loading speed, navigation, and the reliability of mobile pages.
- Identifying useful pages and technical problems through analytics.
- Measuring campaigns without including sensitive account details in advertising reports.
- Supporting applicable legal, security, age-restriction, and responsible gaming obligations.
Cookies do not replace identity verification, customer due diligence, payment authorization, or account-level safeguards. Availability of services remains subject to eligibility requirements, applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, and the operator’s terms.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support basic functionality, including registration, login, secure account access, session continuity, payment flow protection, age-gate checks, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie choices. For example, a session cookie may keep an authenticated user connected while moving from an account page to a transaction screen.
Blocking these cookies can disrupt Mezzo Bet login or Mezzo Bet registration. An age-check cookie may remember a completed prompt, but does not establish identity or replace the requirements described in the Age Restriction Policy.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies and related identifiers may help detect suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, protect accounts, and maintain the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. They can support safer sessions and checks around deposits or withdrawal requests without replacing transaction verification.
Detailed detection rules are not published because disclosure could undermine these protections. A cookie classified as necessary for security should serve a genuine security purpose, not unrelated advertising. Account use remains governed by the Terms and Conditions.
Cookies may also support Responsible Gaming controls, such as remembering notices or restrictions. Clearing cookies does not cancel account-level self-exclusion, deposit limits, or other responsible betting measures.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may show how visitors navigate pages, which device types they use, and where loading errors occur. This helps assess content quality and performance, including navigation within Mezzo Bet games. Analytics should improve the service, not expose private betting details publicly.
Reports may use aggregated or pseudonymized data where applicable. Pseudonymized information can still be personal data if it can be linked back to a user; it should not automatically be described as anonymous. Optional analytics choices should be available through the controls provided by the service.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, or a login preference. Cookie consent records may instead be classified as strictly necessary because they preserve your privacy choices. Classification depends on purpose, not simply the name of the cookie.
The mobile website and Mezzo Bet app may use different storage methods. Browser controls generally do not manage app SDKs or device identifiers. Remembering a login preference is also different from storing a password; avoid saved access on shared devices.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may measure campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive ads, and help display more relevant advertising or offers. They do not guarantee bonuses, eligibility, winnings, or any particular outcome.
Where supported, you can manage these cookies through website preferences, browser controls, or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting optional marketing cookies should not, by itself, prevent basic account access. You may still see general advertising that does not rely on those cookies.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Mezzo Bet’s website domain. Third-party cookies may be set by external providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support. Some browsers restrict third-party cookies automatically.
The overview below uses provider categories because individual vendors have not been confirmed. The operator should update it with actual cookie names, providers, purposes, and durations before publication and whenever the deployed tools change. Third-party processing and any relevant disclosures should also be reflected in the Privacy Policy.
| Cookie category | Purpose and example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Maintain login and cookie choices | [Confirm per cookie] | Required for core functions | Operator or technical provider |
| Security | Protect sessions and detect abuse | [Confirm per cookie] | Required where essential | Operator or security provider |
| Analytics | Measure navigation and loading errors | [Confirm per cookie] | Optional where applicable | Operator or analytics provider |
| Functional | Remember display preferences | [Confirm per cookie] | Depends on the function | Operator or functionality provider |
| Marketing | Measure referrals and ad frequency | [Confirm per cookie] | Optional | Operator or advertising provider |
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed or the session ends, although browser session-restoration features can affect this. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier. Local storage and app identifiers may follow different deletion rules.
Exact lifetimes depend on the technology and purpose and require operator confirmation. Removing a cookie from your device does not necessarily delete information already received by the operator or a provider; server-side retention is addressed separately in the Privacy Policy.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review each category and reject optional analytics or marketing cookies if you do not want them.
- Step 2: Save your choices. To change them later, reopen the available settings. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that occurred before withdrawal.
- Step 3: Use browser settings to block or delete cookies, including third-party cookies. Review device privacy settings separately for app permissions and advertising identifiers.
Clearing browsing data may sign you out, reset preferences, or cause the consent prompt to reappear. Disabling necessary cookies may affect login, account security, payments, or betting and gaming functions. Private browsing is not a substitute for cookie controls.
For a practical comparison, website preferences offer category-level choices, browser controls cover browser storage more broadly, and device settings address app-level permissions. Before changing settings during a deposit or withdrawal request, check the transaction record rather than repeatedly submitting it. Cookies do not determine disclosed fees, transaction limits, processing times, or KYC requirements.
Before registering or downloading an app/APK, verify the domain through an established official communication channel and review operator identification and Legal Status in Ethiopia. Users should verify current regulatory status against the competent authority’s latest information; this policy does not establish licensing or government approval.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies involve personal data or online identifiers, such as a session reference, IP address, or device identifier. Information may be linked to an account depending on the technology used. Cookie controls do not replace rights or choices relating to other account data.
The Privacy Policy explains data collection, storage, processing, recipients, applicable user rights, and contact options. Secure handling of personal data and any consent requirements must reflect actual practices and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements, not assumptions about a provider’s tools.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Mezzo Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. The revision date should identify the latest version. Where required, material changes should be communicated and renewed consent requested before introducing relevant optional tracking.
