The Gursha Bet Cookie Policy explains how Gursha 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 platform’s terms and privacy information. The availability and use of particular technologies may depend on the service, device, user settings, eligibility requirements, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file or browser storage item placed on a computer, smartphone, or other device when a person visits a website. Cookies help the website remember information about the visitor, browser, or device. For example, they can maintain a secure session after login, retain a selected language, or remember whether a user accepted optional cookies.
Gursha Bet may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. Their operation varies by browser, device, and service. In practical terms, these tools allow digital services to recognize a session or device without requiring the user to enter the same settings on every page.
Why Gursha Bet Uses Cookies
Cookies may be used to keep users signed in securely, protect accounts from suspicious activity, remember cookie and language choices, improve loading speed and navigation, and identify technical problems. They may also help Gursha Bet understand which pages are useful and measure campaign performance without publicly exposing private account or betting details.
In a typical account journey, cookies help preserve continuity between registration, identity verification, payment authorization, betting functions, and account management. Security-related technologies may also support customer due diligence, age controls, responsible betting measures, and compliance requirements without disclosing the platform’s confidential fraud-detection rules.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the service to operate. Optional analytics or marketing cookies may depend on user consent, the available preference centre, browser controls, or device privacy settings.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support essential website functions. They may be required for the Gursha Bet login, Gursha Bet registration, secure account access, session continuity, payment-flow protection, age-gate checks, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie preferences.
Blocking these cookies may prevent pages from loading correctly or interrupt registration, login, account verification, transaction records, or protected betting and gaming functions. Users should review the Age Restriction Policy and verify the platform’s current legal status in Ethiopia before opening or using an account.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies and related identifiers may help identify unusual login patterns, reduce automated abuse, protect account-holder information, and maintain safer sessions. They may be used across sport betting, live betting, keno, and other gaming areas to protect users and the integrity of the service.
These controls may work with server logs, device information, and account security records. Exact detection rules are not published because doing so could make the controls easier to bypass. Users should also follow the account rules in the Terms and Conditions and consult the available Responsible Gaming measures.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may help Gursha Bet understand page use, loading times, navigation paths, device types, errors, and content quality. This information can show where users abandon a process, encounter a broken page, or experience poor mobile performance.
Analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. It should be used to improve the service and should not be presented publicly as an identifiable record of a person’s betting activity. More information about the handling of identifiers and associated data should be provided in the Privacy Policy.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember optional settings that make the service easier to use. These may include language, region, odds format, device preferences, login preference, display settings, and previous cookie choices. App-related preferences may also be stored through local device storage or SDKs used by the Gursha Bet app, where applicable.
Removing functional cookies may reset these settings. It should not normally remove an account, but the user may need to select preferences again or complete another secure login.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may help measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertising, and assess whether communications are relevant. They may also support campaign attribution across permitted service channels. These cookies do not guarantee eligibility for an offer, bonus, or any betting result.
Where supported, users may reject marketing cookies through the cookie preference centre, browser controls, device settings, or a third party’s advertising controls. Rejecting them should not prevent essential account functions, although advertising may become less relevant.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Gursha Bet through the domain or service being used. Third-party cookies or similar technologies may be set by confirmed service providers supporting analytics, hosting, security, payment verification, fraud prevention, advertising, or customer support.
No specific vendor should be assumed from this policy. Provider names, exact cookie names, and retention periods must be confirmed by the operator. The category-level list below may be updated when technologies or authorized service providers change.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Status | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core service operation | Login, session continuity, consent storage | Session or defined period | Required | Gursha Bet or a confirmed technical provider |
| Security | Account and service protection | Suspicious activity and automated-abuse detection | Session or defined period | Usually required | Gursha Bet or a confirmed security provider |
| Analytics | Performance measurement | Loading, errors, device types, navigation | Defined period | Optional where supported | Confirmed analytics provider |
| Functional | Preference storage | Language, odds format, device settings | Session or defined period | Required or optional by function | Gursha Bet or a confirmed service provider |
| Marketing | Campaign measurement | Referral attribution and advertising frequency | 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 account session ends, or a security timeout occurs. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless the user deletes them earlier. Their duration depends on the purpose of the cookie, the operator’s retention settings, the provider’s configuration, and applicable compliance requirements.
Exact retention periods should be displayed in the cookie preference centre or a confirmed cookie inventory when available. Gursha Bet should not retain cookie-derived information longer than necessary for its stated purpose and applicable legal obligations.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
Cookie controls differ between browsers, devices, and app environments. A recommended process is:
- Step 1: Open the website’s cookie banner or preference centre, if available, and review each optional category.
- Step 2: Accept or reject optional analytics and marketing cookies according to your preference. Necessary cookies generally cannot be disabled through the banner.
- Step 3: Use browser or device privacy settings to block cookies, restrict tracking, or clear browsing data. App users should also check device permissions and advertising settings.
- Step 4: Sign in again if clearing data ended the secure session. Confirm that the address shown is the official domain before entering account-holder information.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect login, identity verification, account security, payment authorization, or access to betting and gaming features. Before changing controls, users should consider whether session protection and saved consent settings are required for the task they intend to complete.
Cookies, Account Safety, and Service Checks
As part of an expert review of a digital betting service, users should assess verifiable criteria rather than promotional claims. Check operator identification, the current licensing and regulatory status, age and eligibility requirements, KYC requirements, transaction limits, disclosed fees, processing times, withdrawal procedures, and official complaint-handling channels.
Cookies do not prove that a website is authorized. Before registration, login, deposit, or withdrawal, verify the domain spelling, use an official communication channel, read the applicable terms, and avoid links sent by unknown parties. Availability may depend on eligibility, regional restrictions, and local requirements. Users should check the competent authority’s latest information where appropriate.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve personal data or online identifiers, especially when connected with an account, device, payment security check, or support request. The secure handling of personal data should follow the operator’s documented practices and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements.
For information about collection, storage, processing, user rights, data sharing, and contact options, read the Privacy Policy. Cookie choices do not automatically remove information that must be retained for security, transaction records, dispute handling, or other legitimate compliance requirements.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Gursha Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website features, app technologies, providers, security practices, or legal requirements change. Material changes should be communicated through an appropriate service channel, and the published policy should display its effective or last-updated date.
Contact Us
Questions about cookies, privacy settings, or the use of online identifiers may be submitted through the official Contact Us channel. Users should not send passwords, payment credentials, or unnecessary sensitive information in a general support message.
