Cookies Policy | Pokiespins Casino

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise a device, remember information about a visit and perform particular functions. Cookies do not normally identify you by name on their own. However, information collected through cookies may be combined with other information, including information you provide when creating or using an account, and may then be treated as personal information under applicable privacy laws.

We may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies. These can include pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the term cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless we state otherwise.

Cookies can be first-party or third-party cookies. First-party cookies are placed by Pokiespins Casino or by a service operating on our behalf. Third-party cookies are placed by another provider whose services are used on the website. Third-party providers may collect information under their own privacy notices and may have different practices from Pokiespins Casino.

Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies are temporary. They are generally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains may vary according to its purpose, your browser settings and the provider that places it.

2. How we use cookies

The types of cookies used on the website may change over time as our services, technology and legal obligations develop. Cookies may be used for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary functions, such as enabling pages and features to load, maintaining a secure connection, supporting account access and helping to prevent fraudulent or abusive activity.
Security and compliance, including helping us identify unusual activity, protect accounts, support age and identity checks where applicable, and maintain the integrity of the website and services.
Preferences and functionality, such as remembering language, region, display or other selections made during a visit, so that you do not need to repeat them each time.
Performance and analytics, such as measuring visits, identifying errors, understanding which pages are used and improving the speed, design and reliability of the website.
Personalisation, where available, such as remembering interactions with the website and presenting content or features that may be more relevant to your interests.
Marketing and advertising, where permitted, such as measuring campaigns, limiting repeated advertisements and understanding whether communications or promotions are effective.
Responsible gambling and service management, including supporting tools, messages and controls designed to help users interact with gambling services appropriately and safely.

Essential cookies may be used because they are needed to provide a service you have requested or to operate a secure website. If you disable these cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly. Non-essential cookies are used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after you have provided consent.

Cookies do not change the outcome of games, increase your chances of winning or guarantee access to any particular product, offer or service. Their purpose is to support website operation, measurement, security and communications.

3. Third-party services and information sharing

We may work with carefully selected technology, security, analytics, payment, advertising or other service providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies on the website to perform services for us. Depending on the service, they may process information such as device details, browser type, approximate location, pages viewed, interaction times, referral information and technical identifiers.

We expect service providers to handle information in accordance with their contractual obligations and applicable privacy requirements. Some providers may process information outside Australia. Where information is transferred or accessed overseas, we take steps required by applicable law to address the relevant privacy and security risks.

Third-party websites, applications, social media services or payment pages may be accessible through links or features on our website. Those services may place their own cookies and collect information under their own policies. Pokiespins Casino does not control the cookie practices of independent third parties. You should review their privacy and cookie information before using those services.

Cookie information may be used with other information for purposes described in our Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining security, complying with legal obligations, investigating suspected misuse and protecting our rights or the rights of others. We do not treat the use of cookies as permission to collect information for purposes that are not permitted by applicable law.

4. Managing cookies and your choices

When you first visit the website, a cookie banner or preference tool may allow you to accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. Your choices may be saved in a preference cookie so that they can be remembered on later visits. If you clear your browser data, use another browser or access the website from another device, you may need to set your choices again.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. The method differs between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant browser or device instructions.

Blocking all cookies may prevent account features, security functions and other parts of the website from working correctly.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to sign in or make selections again.
Rejecting analytics or marketing cookies may not stop all advertising, but it may make advertising less relevant and prevent us from measuring some interactions.
Browser-based opt-out settings may apply only to the browser or device where they are enabled.
Some services may provide their own preference or opt-out controls, which are separate from our website settings.

Where a cookie preference tool is available, you may use it to change your choices at any time. Changing your settings does not normally affect information that was collected lawfully before the change. We may continue to use strictly necessary cookies where they are required to operate the website, provide requested services, protect security or meet legal obligations.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, service providers or legal requirements change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date or other appropriate notice where required. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you understand how cookies are used. Your continued use of the website after an update may indicate that you have read the updated policy, subject to any consent requirements that apply.

Questions and privacy rights

If you have questions about this policy or how information collected through cookies is handled, please refer to the available privacy information and use the contact or support options published on the Pokiespins Casino website. Depending on your circumstances and applicable Australian privacy law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, handling or use of your personal information. Requests may require reasonable verification so that we can protect account security and prevent unauthorised disclosure.
