Cookies Policy | Advantage Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit. Cookies can help a website function properly, improve performance, provide security and make content more relevant to visitors.

Some cookies are placed directly by Advantage Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other services. These third parties may process information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy notices and applicable requirements.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them. The length of time a cookie remains active can vary according to its purpose and settings.

We may also use technologies that are similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the term cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. How we use cookies

Cookies may be used for several different purposes. The cookies used on a particular page or service may change over time as our website, security arrangements and service providers change. We aim to use information collected through cookies for legitimate website, business and compliance purposes.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support core website functions and cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference tools. They may be required to maintain a secure connection, remember your session, protect accounts, process requests, prevent fraudulent activity, manage access controls or provide other essential functions.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember choices and preferences so that the website can respond more consistently to you. They may help remember language, display settings, cookie choices, accessibility preferences or other settings that improve your experience. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be retained.

Performance and analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about pages viewed, links selected, general device or browser information, approximate location, loading times and errors. We use this information to monitor performance, identify technical issues and improve website design, content and usability.

Security and fraud prevention technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to help detect unusual activity, protect our systems, support identity and account security, prevent misuse and investigate suspected fraud or other prohibited conduct. These technologies may collect information about your device, browser, network connection, interactions and access patterns.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand interactions with promotional content and present information that is more relevant to a visitor. We do not use cookies to remove or reduce our responsible gambling obligations. Any marketing activity remains subject to applicable laws, regulatory requirements and our internal controls.

3. Information collected through cookies

Depending on the type of cookie and how you use the website, information collected may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, language, approximate location, referral source, pages visited, links selected, time and date of access, session information and interactions with website features. Information collected through cookies may be combined with other information we hold where permitted and reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Cookies generally do not directly identify you by name. However, information from cookies may be associated with an account, device, session or other identifier. If you log in, register, make a transaction or otherwise provide information to us, cookie-related data may be connected with that activity to support security, service delivery, compliance or analysis.

We take reasonable steps to handle cookie information in accordance with applicable Australian privacy requirements. Access to information may be limited to authorised personnel, contractors and service providers who need it for an approved purpose. We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law, for security purposes or to protect our rights, users and services.

Cookies may be set by providers located in Australia or overseas. Where information is handled outside Australia, we take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances and consistent with applicable privacy obligations. The Privacy Policy contains broader information about collection, use, disclosure, storage and access to personal information.

4. Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where available, you can use it to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select categories according to your preferences. Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are required for essential website functions.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies. Browser controls differ between devices and browsers, so you should check the help or settings menu for the browser you use. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one.

Open your browser settings or preferences.
Find the privacy, security or cookies section.
Review the available options for accepting, blocking or deleting cookies.
Apply the settings and revisit the website if necessary.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect how the website works. You may be unable to use some account, security, navigation or transaction features, and certain preferences may not be saved. Blocking cookies does not necessarily remove all information previously collected, and it may not stop all forms of online measurement or advertising.

You may also be able to control certain third-party cookies through the relevant provider's tools or settings. We do not control every third-party platform, and the availability or operation of those controls may change. You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant third party.

5. Changes and contact information

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technology, service providers, legal requirements or business practices. The updated version will be made available on this page, with the revised date shown where appropriate. Your continued use of the website after an update may indicate that you have read the revised policy, subject to any consent requirements that apply.

Cookie information and preferences may also change when new website functions are introduced or existing services are updated. We encourage you to review this policy periodically and revisit the available cookie controls if your preferences change.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, wish to enquire about personal information or need assistance with available privacy choices, please use the contact or support channel made available on the Advantage Casino website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an initial enquiry. Requests may be handled in accordance with applicable verification, privacy and legal requirements.

This policy is general information and does not replace any rights or obligations that apply under Australian privacy law or other applicable laws. If there is an inconsistency between this policy and a mandatory legal requirement, the mandatory requirement will apply.
