This page explains how Lucy 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. Their use depends on the service, technology, and settings available.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file or browser storage item that helps a website remember information about a visitor or device. For example, it can help the website recognize an active login session as you move between pages, or remember your chosen language.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, and device identifiers, if used. These can record interactions or retain settings in a browser or app. In this policy, “cookies” includes these related technologies where relevant; browser cookie controls do not necessarily control all of them.
Why Lucy Bet Uses Cookies
Cookies may help Lucy Bet keep users signed in securely, identify suspicious account activity, remember privacy choices, improve loading speed and navigation, and understand which pages are useful. They may also support campaign measurement without including sensitive account details in advertising reports.
Some technologies support legal, security, and responsible gaming obligations, subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations and the operator’s terms. Others provide optional analytics, personalization, or marketing functions. Necessary cookies support essential services; optional cookies may depend on consent and the controls available for the relevant technology.
In a typical account journey, session continuity helps connect registration, login, and payment authorization. Cookies do not replace identity verification, customer due diligence, or KYC requirements. They also do not establish eligibility to use the service.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support basic functionality, including Lucy Bet login, Lucy Bet registration, secure account access, session continuity, payment flow protection, age-gate checks, and storage of cookie choices. Without them, some services may not work correctly.
A remembered age-gate response is not proof of age or identity. Users must still meet the eligibility requirements described in the Age Restriction Policy. A necessary cookie classification should reflect the cookie’s actual purpose, not simply its usefulness to the operator.
Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
Security cookies may help detect suspicious patterns, reduce automated abuse, protect accounts, and maintain safer sessions across betting, keno, live betting, and gaming areas. They may also help protect deposit and withdrawal workflows against unauthorized activity. Detailed detection rules are not disclosed because doing so could weaken account protection.
Where implemented, these technologies may support responsible betting measures, such as recognizing restrictions associated with an account. Deleting cookies does not cancel self-exclusion, deposit limits, or other account-level controls. Read the Responsible Gaming information for the applicable measures.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may record page usage, loading errors, device types, navigation paths, and other performance information. This helps identify technical problems and improve content and mobile access, including navigation within Lucy Bet games.
Analytics data may be aggregated or pseudonymized where applicable; this does not necessarily make it anonymous. The purpose is service improvement, not public disclosure of private betting activity or account details. Optional analytics should follow the applicable consent requirements.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember language, region, odds format, device preferences, or a login preference. Cookie consent choices may also be stored, although storage needed to respect those choices can be classified as necessary. On shared devices, avoid persistent login settings and sign out after use.
Preferences in the Lucy Bet app may use app storage rather than browser cookies. Changing a browser setting may therefore leave app settings unchanged. Use only an operator-confirmed download channel for an app or APK; cookie acceptance does not verify that a download source is genuine.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may measure advertising campaigns, identify referral sources, limit repetitive advertisements, or help make advertising more relevant. They do not guarantee bonuses, eligibility for an offer, or winnings. Advertising measurements should not disclose sensitive account, payment, or identity-verification information.
Where available, users can manage these technologies through cookie preferences, browser controls, device settings, or third-party advertising settings. Rejecting optional marketing cookies should not be treated as consent to a different advertising technology.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Lucy Bet. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers involved in analytics, security, payment verification, advertising, hosting, fraud prevention, or customer support. Their involvement depends on the tools actually deployed; no specific provider is identified here without operator confirmation.
The table below describes possible categories, not a verified inventory of active cookies. Provider names, individual cookie names, and exact durations must be confirmed by the operator. The inventory may be updated as services change.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example use | Duration | Required or optional | Possible provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core functionality | Maintain a login session | Session or persistent; confirm per cookie | Required for relevant functions | Lucy Bet or operational provider; confirm |
| Security | Account and transaction protection | Detect suspicious access | Confirm per cookie | Required where essential; confirm classification | Operator or security provider; confirm |
| Analytics | Usage and performance measurement | Identify loading problems | Confirm per cookie | Generally optional; confirm | Operator or analytics provider; confirm |
| Functional | Remember preferences | Save an odds format | Confirm per cookie | Depends on purpose | Operator or service provider; confirm |
| Marketing | Campaign measurement | Limit repeated advertisements | Confirm per cookie | Optional | Advertising provider, if used; confirm |
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. Local storage and app identifiers may behave differently and require separate controls.
Exact lifetimes depend on the individual technology and provider. Cookie expiry is not the same as deletion of associated information already stored by the operator or a provider.
How Users Can Manage Cookies
- Step 1: Open the website’s cookie banner or preference center, if available. Review each category and accept or reject optional analytics and marketing cookies as supported.
- Step 2: Use browser privacy settings to block cookies, restrict third-party cookies, or clear browsing data. Check device and app privacy settings separately for app-related tracking.
- Step 3: Save your choices and revisit them when needed. Where consent controls are available, withdraw optional consent through those controls. Repeat the process on other browsers or devices.
Preference controls offer category-level choices; browser blocking is broader and may disrupt useful functions. Clearing cookies can sign you out or remove saved preferences. Disabling necessary cookies may affect login, account security, payments, and betting or gaming features.
Before registration or a payment, verify the official domain through an operator-confirmed channel and check the current regulatory status against the competent authority’s latest information. Compare deposit and withdrawal options using disclosed fees, transaction limits, processing times, and verification requirements in the Terms and Conditions, not assumptions based on a working session. If a payment page fails after changing cookie settings, check the transaction record before retrying.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies contain or generate online identifiers that may be personal data, particularly when connected to account-holder information or device activity. Pseudonymized information can still be personal data. Cookie controls do not delete an account or necessarily erase information already collected.
The Privacy Policy explains data collection, storage, processing, disclosures, applicable user rights, and privacy contact options. These policies should be read together. Cookie use and personal-data handling must reflect the operator’s actual practices and applicable Ethiopian data protection and privacy requirements.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
Lucy Bet may update this policy when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. Where required, material changes should be communicated and new consent requested before changed optional uses begin.
