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. The technologies used depend on the service, device, and available cookie settings.

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 your account session active as you move between pages, or remember your language selection on a later visit.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits (SDKs), and device identifiers. These can store preferences or record interactions with a website or app. In this policy, “cookies” includes these technologies where applicable. Their use and controls can differ between browsers and mobile devices.
Why Mezzo Bet Uses Cookies
Mezzo Bet may use cookies to keep users signed in securely, detect suspicious account activity, remember cookie choices and language preferences, improve navigation and loading speed, and identify pages that need improvement. Cookies may also help measure campaigns without including sensitive account details in advertising events.
Some technologies may support eligibility checks, payment authorization, and responsible betting measures, including enforcement of account restrictions. Cookies do not replace identity verification, customer due diligence, or account-level controls.
Strictly necessary cookies support essential platform functions. Optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies may depend on user consent, the available settings, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations. A cookie’s purpose—not simply its name or provider—determines how it should be classified.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support basic functionality, including registration, secure account access, session continuity, payment flow protection, age-gate checks, essential fraud prevention, and storage of cookie choices. Without them, parts of the service may not work reliably.
For example, a session cookie may help maintain access after Mezzo Bet login or preserve progress during Mezzo Bet registration. Cookies supporting age checks do not establish eligibility by themselves; users must also meet the requirements described in the Age Restriction Policy.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security technologies may help identify suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, protect account access, and maintain the integrity of betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. Some security cookies are essential; any additional tracking should be assessed according to its actual purpose.
Detailed detection rules are not disclosed because doing so could weaken account protection. Cookies do not guarantee security or replace strong passwords and account checks. Account restrictions and permitted use are addressed in the Terms and Conditions; information about self-exclusion and other safeguards is available under Responsible Gaming.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies may help Mezzo Bet understand page usage, device types, navigation paths, loading problems, and content quality. For example, performance information can help identify whether a mobile page loads slowly or whether users encounter errors during account navigation.
Analytics is intended to improve the service, not to publish private betting details. Information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. Pseudonymized information can still be personal data; it should not be described as anonymous unless this has been verified. Optional analytics can be rejected where supported.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, or a selected login preference. Cookie consent records may instead be strictly necessary because they preserve your privacy choices.
Rejecting optional functional cookies may mean selecting settings again. Browser preferences do not necessarily carry across to the Mezzo Bet app, another device, or a newly installed browser. A remembered login preference should not be confused with permission to keep an account accessible on a shared device.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repeated advertisements, and make displayed offers more relevant. They do not guarantee bonuses, winnings, or eligibility for any offer.
Where available, users can manage these cookies through the website preference center, browser controls, or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting optional marketing cookies should not prevent essential account access, although advertisements may become less relevant. Responsible gaming restrictions should not be overridden by advertising preferences.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Mezzo Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support. The provider’s role determines what information it receives and whether it processes that information for its own purposes.
No specific provider names or cookie durations are confirmed in this draft. The operator should publish a verified cookie inventory identifying each cookie’s category, purpose, example use, duration, required or optional status, and provider. Until confirmed, references here remain at category level. The inventory may be updated when providers or technologies change.
A third-party privacy policy may explain that provider’s practices, but it does not replace Mezzo Bet’s responsibility to explain how third-party technologies are used within its services.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Session cookies usually expire when the browser closes or the session ends. Some browsers restore sessions, so closing a window may not remove every session-related item.
Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier. Their duration depends on their purpose and configuration. Exact retention periods must be confirmed in the cookie inventory; none are assumed here. Deleting a cookie does not necessarily delete information already processed or account records held separately.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review categories and accept or reject optional cookies separately where supported.
- Step 2: Save your choices. To change them later, reopen the settings and withdraw optional consent where available. Withdrawal does not undo processing that already occurred.
- Step 3: Review browser and device privacy settings. You can restrict cookies, clear browsing data, or adjust app tracking permissions where supported. Repeat this on each browser and device you use.
Website controls offer category-specific choices; browser controls are broader and may block essential functions. Device controls can address app-related tracking but may not change website preferences. Clearing stored data may sign you out and remove saved consent choices.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect login, account security, payments, and betting or gaming features. If a deposit or withdrawal page fails, check your transaction record or contact support before repeating the request. Cookies do not determine transaction limits, fees, verification requirements, or processing time; check the relevant account information and terms.
Before entering account information or installing an app/APK, verify the official domain and authorized download channel. Users should verify current regulatory status using the Legal Status in Ethiopia information and the competent authority’s latest information rather than treating a cookie banner as evidence of licensing.
Cookies and Personal Data
Cookies may involve personal data, including online identifiers, device information, IP addresses, preferences, or information linked to an account. Their privacy impact depends on what is collected, whether it can identify someone, and how it is combined with other records.
Read the Privacy Policy for details about collection, storage, processing, recipients, applicable user rights, and contact options. Cookie choices do not automatically remove account-holder information retained for legitimate operational or compliance purposes. Any retention, disclosure, or transfer must be explained according to actual practices and applicable Ethiopian requirements.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Mezzo Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. The publication date should identify the current version. Where changes require renewed choices or notice, the operator should provide the appropriate settings or notification.
