This Cookie Policy explains how Sportingbet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on sportingbet-play.co.za. By continuing to use our site, you're agreeing to our use of cookies as described here.
Cookies are small text files that get saved to your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember who you are and how you use it. Most websites use them. Your browser or mobile device stores them, and they're sent back to our servers each time you visit.
We use cookies to keep the site working properly, to understand how people use it, and to show you relevant content. Without certain cookies, basic features like logging into your account or keeping your session active simply won't work.
These are essential. They allow you to log in, navigate the site, and use features like your account balance and bet slip. You can't opt out of these without breaking the site. They don't collect any information that could be used to identify you for marketing purposes.
These cookies help us understand how visitors use sportingbet-play.co.za. We can see which pages are popular, where people drop off, and how our mobile experience is performing. The data is aggregated and anonymous. We use this to make the site better.
Functional cookies remember your preferences. Things like your preferred language, your region, or whether you've dismissed a particular notification. They make your experience more personal without tracking you for advertising.
These cookies track your browsing activity so we and our advertising partners can show you relevant promotions. If you've visited sportingbet-play.co.za and then seen a Sportingbet ad elsewhere online, that's these cookies at work. You can opt out of these at any time through our cookie settings.
Some cookies on our site are set by third parties, including analytics providers and payment processors. These third parties have their own privacy policies and we don't control how they use the data they collect. Where possible, we only work with partners who meet data protection standards aligned with POPIA.
You can manage or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. There are a few ways to do this:
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how the site works. Some features may not function correctly if essential cookies are disabled.
Session cookies are temporary and get deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period, which varies depending on the cookie's purpose. You can delete persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our technology or legal obligations change. Check back here for the latest version. The date at the top of this page will always show when it was last updated.
