Cookies Policy

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other internet-connected device. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support features during a visit or across later visits. Some cookies are placed by the website you are using, while others may be placed by service providers that support website functions.

The Pokies Net Casino may use cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and similar technologies. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as cookies unless a distinction is important. These technologies may collect information such as your device type, browser type, general location, language preference, pages viewed, links selected, approximate visit times and interactions with website features.

Cookies generally do not identify you by name on their own. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information associated with your account or use of the website. Where this occurs, the information may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy laws. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information may otherwise be collected, used, disclosed and protected.

Your responsibilities

You should only use The Pokies Net Casino where online gambling is lawful for you. You are responsible for checking the laws that apply in your location and for ensuring that your device and browser settings are suitable for accessing the website. If you disable cookies, some website features may not work correctly, and certain parts of the service may be unavailable or less convenient.

You should also take reasonable steps to protect your device and account. Keep your operating system, browser and security software updated, avoid accessing accounts on untrusted public devices and sign out when you have finished using a shared device. Cookies can support website functions, but they do not replace your responsibility to keep passwords and account information confidential.

How cookies may be used

Cookies may be used for several purposes. The type, duration and operation of a cookie can vary depending on the website feature, service provider, browser and device involved. The categories below describe the main purposes for which cookies may be used. A single cookie may support more than one purpose.

• Essential operation: Cookies may be needed to provide core website functions, maintain a secure connection, remember activity during a session and help pages load correctly. Without these cookies, the website or particular features may not operate as intended.
• Account and session management: Cookies may help recognise an active session, support sign-in processes, remember selected settings and reduce the need to repeat information during a visit. These cookies may also help protect account areas from unauthorised activity.
• Security and fraud prevention: Cookies and similar technologies may assist with detecting unusual activity, protecting accounts, identifying automated or harmful traffic and supporting measures designed to prevent fraud, abuse or other security risks.
• Preferences and functionality: Cookies may remember choices such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. This can make future visits more consistent and help provide features that you have requested.
• Performance and analytics: Cookies may provide information about how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited, whether pages work correctly and where users may encounter errors. This information may help improve website performance, navigation and reliability.
• Communications and marketing: Subject to applicable requirements and your choices, cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of communications, limit repeated advertisements or show information that is more relevant to your interests. Where required, consent will be requested before non-essential marketing cookies are used.

Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies are generally temporary. They remain on your device while your browser is open or while a particular session continues and are usually removed when the session ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Persistent cookies may help remember preferences or recognise a returning browser, but their presence does not necessarily mean that you have an account or that you are logged in.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by The Pokies Net Casino or by a service operating on our behalf. Third-party cookies may be set by external providers whose tools, content or services appear on or support the website. These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices and terms. We seek to use appropriate providers for legitimate website, security, analytics or communication purposes, but the availability and operation of third-party services may change.

Third-party services may include website analytics, security tools, payment-related functions, customer support features, embedded content or communications technology. The presence of a third-party tool does not necessarily mean that every available feature is used. The relevant provider may collect information directly from your browser or device and may apply its own settings and retention practices.

Your choices and cookie controls

Where applicable, a cookie banner or preference tool may allow you to accept or reject categories of non-essential cookies. You can change your selection using the available cookie settings link or tool. Essential cookies may continue to operate because they are required for basic website functions, security or the delivery of a service you request.

You can also manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block selected cookies or block all cookies. Browser controls differ, so you should consult the help or settings information for your particular browser and device. If you use more than one browser or device, settings may need to be applied separately.

• Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and may require you to enter information again.
• Blocking all cookies may prevent sign-in, account functions, security checks or other parts of the website from working.
• Changing browser settings does not necessarily delete other technologies, such as certain forms of local storage.
• Opting out of targeted advertising does not mean that you will receive no advertising; it may mean that advertising is less tailored to your interests.
• A cookie preference may be stored on your device, so clearing browser data may remove that preference and require you to make the choice again.
• If you reject analytics cookies, some website usage information may still be collected where necessary for security, technical operation or other lawful purposes.

Some external services may provide their own controls for analytics, advertising or embedded content. Those controls are managed by the relevant provider and may be subject to that provider's terms. We do not control every setting offered by third-party services, and their practices may change independently of this policy.

Do Not Track and similar signals

Browsers and devices may offer privacy signals, including Do Not Track settings or similar controls. Because there is no single consistent technical standard for all such signals, the website may not respond to every signal in the same way. We will apply available controls in accordance with applicable requirements and the settings made available through our website.

Your cookie choices may affect how the website operates, but they will not normally prevent you from managing your browser independently. You may change your preferences at any time, subject to the tools and controls available on the website and in your browser.

Privacy, updates and further information

Information collected through cookies may be used to operate, maintain, secure and improve The Pokies Net Casino website and services. It may also be used to understand website activity, investigate technical problems, support compliance obligations, prevent misuse and communicate with users where permitted. Information may be accessed by authorised staff, related service providers or other parties where reasonably necessary for these purposes and where permitted by law.

The amount of information collected and the period for which it is retained may depend on the type and purpose of the cookie. Security and session information may be retained for different periods from analytics or preference information. We aim to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, legal obligations, dispute resolution, security or legitimate business needs.

The use of cookies does not change your responsibility to keep your account details, passwords and devices secure. You should avoid using shared or public devices for account access where possible, sign out after using an account, keep your browser and operating system updated, and take care when selecting links or downloading files.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technology, service providers, legal requirements or our practices. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies may be used.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, your cookie choices or the way information is handled, please use the contact or support options made available on The Pokies Net Casino website. When making an enquiry, avoid sending passwords, payment details or other sensitive information through an unsecured message.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing any cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be used in accordance with this policy and your selected preferences. Where consent is required for a particular category of cookies, we will seek consent through the relevant notice or preference tool before using those cookies.
