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 Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Availability of services and features may depend on eligibility requirements, the operator’s terms, and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file or browser storage item placed on a computer, phone, or other device when a person visits a website. It allows the website to remember information about the browser, device, session, or selected preferences.
Gursha Bet may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers. These tools may perform functions similar to cookies, especially in mobile or app-related services. Their use depends on the technology and providers actually implemented by the operator.
Cookies do not all serve the same purpose. Some are needed to maintain a secure account session, while others help measure performance or understand how visitors navigate the service.
Why Gursha Bet Uses Cookies
Gursha Bet may use cookies to:
- keep account holders signed in and maintain session continuity;
- protect accounts and identify suspicious or automated activity;
- remember cookie choices, language, region, and display preferences;
- improve loading speed, navigation, and mobile usability;
- understand which pages and functions are useful or experiencing errors;
- measure referrals and campaigns without publicly exposing private betting or account information;
- support age restrictions, responsible betting measures, record keeping, and other compliance requirements where applicable.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to work. Optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies may depend on consent, the cookie preference tools provided, and browser or device settings.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support essential website functions. They may be used during the Gursha Bet login and Gursha Bet registration processes, secure account access, session management, payment-flow protection, age-gate checks, fraud prevention, and storage of cookie preferences.
Without these cookies, users may be unable to sign in, keep a session active, complete an authorized transaction, or access protected features. Age eligibility remains subject to the operator’s Age Restriction Policy and any identity verification or KYC requirements that apply.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help detect unusual login attempts, repeated automated requests, device or session anomalies, and patterns associated with account misuse. They may protect the integrity of sport betting, live betting, keno, and other gaming areas without disclosing anti-fraud rules that could be used to avoid security controls.
These tools may also support customer due diligence, payment authorization, account-holder verification, and records needed for complaint handling or security investigations. Users should follow the account protection guidance in the Responsible Gaming section and should never share passwords or verification codes.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may help Gursha Bet understand page visits, loading times, navigation paths, error messages, device types, browser performance, and the general quality of content. For example, aggregated measurements may show whether visitors can move efficiently between account pages and the Gursha Bet games area.
Analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable. It should be used to improve the service rather than to expose a person’s private betting details publicly. Pseudonymized data is not necessarily anonymous and may remain personal data under relevant privacy rules.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember useful selections such as language, region, odds format, device preferences, login preference, and previous cookie consent choices. They may also help maintain a consistent experience between the mobile website and the Gursha Bet app, where such integration is available.
Rejecting functional cookies may reset preferences or require users to select them again, but it should not automatically prevent access to every part of the service.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to identify referral sources, measure campaign performance, limit repetitive advertising, and display information considered more relevant to a visitor. They do not guarantee access to an offer, bonus, or winning outcome. Any promotion remains subject to its published eligibility requirements, limits, and terms.
Where controls are available, users may reject or withdraw consent for marketing cookies through the cookie preference center, browser settings, device privacy controls, or a third party’s advertising settings.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Gursha Bet through the website or related service being visited. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers supporting analytics, security, hosting, payment verification, fraud prevention, advertising measurement, or customer support.
No provider names are listed here unless confirmed by the operator. The following category-level summary should be updated when the current cookie inventory, provider names, and verified retention periods are available.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Status | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core operation and session continuity | Login, consent storage, protected transactions | Session or defined period | Required | Gursha Bet or confirmed service provider |
| Security | Account and platform protection | Suspicious activity and automated abuse detection | Session or defined period | Usually required | Gursha Bet or confirmed security provider |
| Analytics | Usage and performance measurement | Page speed, device type, navigation, and errors | Defined period | Optional where supported | Confirmed analytics provider |

| Marketing | Campaign and referral measurement | Frequency control and advertising relevance | 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 user signs out, or the session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless they are deleted earlier through browser or device controls.
Retention should be limited to the period necessary for the stated purpose. Exact cookie names and retention periods must be confirmed through the operator’s current technical inventory and preference center before publication.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
The recommended process is:
- Step 1: Open the website cookie banner or preference center, if available.
- Step 2: Review each category and reject or accept optional analytics, functional, or marketing cookies.
- Step 3: Save the selection. Gursha Bet may use a necessary cookie to remember this choice.
- Step 4: Use browser or device privacy settings to block cookies, remove stored data, or restrict device identifiers.
- Step 5: Revisit the preference center if consent choices or privacy requirements change.
Browser settings differ by provider and device. Users should consult the browser’s official help documentation before clearing data. Removing cookies may sign the user out and erase saved preferences. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect registration, login, account security, payment authorization, transaction continuity, or access to betting and gaming features.
Cookies, Account Use, and Practical Checks
In a typical user journey, cookies may operate when a person registers, signs in, changes account settings, completes identity verification, initiates a deposit or withdrawal request, or contacts support. Their presence does not replace the need to review transaction limits, processing times, fees, withdrawal procedures, and authorized service channels.
As part of an expert review of an online betting service, users should confirm the official domain, operator identification, current licensing and regulatory status, eligibility requirements, age restriction, and complaint-handling procedure. They should compare services only through verifiable criteria such as the number of account steps, KYC requirements, transparency of terms, mobile accessibility, disclosed limits, and available support channels. Current regulatory information should be checked through the competent authority and the operator’s Legal Status in Ethiopia information.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies and related technologies may involve personal data or online identifiers, including an IP address, device identifier, session reference, browser details, or activity associated with an account. The handling of such information should follow applicable data protection and privacy requirements, the operator’s documented purposes, and appropriate security controls.
For information about data collection, storage, processing, disclosure, user rights, and privacy contact options, read the Privacy Policy. Cookie consent does not replace any other lawful basis or compliance requirement that may apply to the processing of personal data.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Gursha Bet may update this Cookie Policy when website features, app technologies, providers, security practices, or legal requirements change. The revised version should show an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website, account interface, or another official communication channel where appropriate.

Questions about cookies, consent choices, privacy, or account-related identifiers may be submitted through the official Contact Us page. Users should not send passwords, one-time codes, or unnecessary payment information in a general support message.
