Introduction

Ffbet uses cookies and similar technologies on its website to enhance security, analyse site usage, remember preferences and personalise content and advertising where consent is obtained. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we place, why we place them and how you can manage your preferences. It applies to all users visiting or using the Ffbet website and services.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They enable the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember information about your session and provide certain functionalities. They may also collect data about your interactions and device characteristics. Where personal data is contained in cookies, the handling of such data is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the site. They enable core functions such as authentication, access to secure areas and security protections. These cookies are typically session cookies and expire when you close your browser. Disabling them may prevent you from using certain parts of the site.

Non essential cookies

Non essential cookies require your consent. They include analytics cookies, functionality cookies and advertising cookies. They help us improve performance, remember preferences and deliver relevant content or advertising.

Cookie categories and examples

• Necessary cookies — examples include a session cookie named ffbet_session for login state and a security cookie named ffbet_auth that validates user sessions. These cookies expire at the end of the browser session.
• Analytics cookies — used to measure site usage, for example a cookie named ffbet_analytics_id that identifies a unique user for analytics purposes. These cookies typically persist for up to 12 months from the last activity unless cleared.
• Functionality cookies — remember language and regional settings (ffbet_lang, ffbet_region) and preferences, persisting until deleted.
• Advertising cookies — track advertising exposure and effectiveness to support marketing campaigns. A representative cookie named ffbet_ad_id may persist for up to 6 months.
• Third party cookies — cookies set by service providers for features such as social widgets or embedded content. Their lifetimes are set by the respective providers.

How we use cookies

Managing cookies

You can control cookies through the browser you use. You may block cookies, delete existing cookies or set preferences to prevent certain cookies from being placed. Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality and may prevent access to some features.

Opting out and advertising controls

You may opt out of interest based advertising. Opting out does not remove all advertising but stops personalised advertising based on your browsing activity. Some providers offer opt out mechanisms on their own platforms.

Do Not Track

We honour Do Not Track signals where required by applicable law. When a DNT preference is detected, we will avoid placing non essential tracking cookies unless required for security or legitimate interests.

Data sharing with third parties

Cookies may be set by service providers acting on our behalf for analytics, hosting, payment processing and customer support. We require these processors to handle data in compliance with applicable data protection laws and our contractual obligations. We do not sell or rent cookie data to third parties. Where we merge or acquire assets, cookie data may be transferred in connection with the transaction.

Data retention

Cookies have defined lifetimes. Session cookies expire on browser close. Persistent cookies expire on their stated expiry date or when you delete them. We retain cookie related data for the period required by applicable law and our internal data retention policies.

Security of your data

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data collected via cookies. Access to user accounts requires authentication credentials and users must maintain the confidentiality of their login information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If material changes are made, we will provide notice in accordance with applicable laws. Your continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
