Cookies Policy | Pokie Pop Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember selected settings and support certain functions. Cookies may be stored for a single visit or remain on your device for a longer period, depending on their purpose and how they are configured.

The term cookies can also include related technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other identifiers. These technologies may collect information about how a website is accessed and used. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless we state otherwise.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with account, device or usage information that we hold. Where this happens, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are placed by Pokie Pop Casino or by service providers acting on our behalf. Third-party cookies are placed by another organisation whose service is used on, or connected with, our website. For example, a third party may provide analytics, security, payment, customer support or advertising functionality. The relevant third party may process information collected through its technologies under its own privacy notice.

2. Why we use cookies

Cookies may be used for several purposes. Some are necessary for the website to work properly, while others help us understand website use or provide a more relevant experience. The cookies used on a particular page may depend on the functions available, your device, your settings and whether you are signed in to an account.

To make the website available and enable core functions, such as page navigation, account access and secure sessions.
To remember information you have entered or choices you have made, including language, region, display or preference settings.
To maintain security, identify unusual activity, help prevent fraud and protect accounts, transactions and the website.
To understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed, how users move through the site and whether technical errors occur.
To monitor website performance, test improvements and help us develop more reliable services.
To support communications, customer service and other features that you request.
To measure the effectiveness of promotions or marketing activity where this is permitted and where the relevant consent or other lawful basis is required.
To help present information that is more relevant to your interests, device or previous interactions, subject to applicable law and your choices.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for important website functions. They may support secure login, account management, fraud prevention, session continuity and the operation of requested services. Because the website may not work correctly without these cookies, they generally cannot be disabled through a cookie preference tool. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so can prevent access to some features or cause parts of the website to operate incorrectly.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how the website is used. They can provide information such as pages visited, approximate visit duration, referring pages, device type, browser information and interactions with website features. We use this information in an aggregated or otherwise controlled form to identify trends, diagnose problems and improve the online experience. These cookies are not intended to record your private gambling activity beyond what is needed for the stated purpose.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies remember choices and settings so that the website can provide a more consistent experience. They may remember items such as language selection, region, interface preferences or whether certain messages have been displayed. Removing these cookies may mean that you need to set your preferences again when you return.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Where used and permitted, marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand interactions with promotional content or display more relevant communications. Pokie Pop Casino does not use cookies to bypass responsible gambling measures or to encourage gambling that is unsafe or unsuitable. Marketing activity remains subject to applicable legal requirements, consent choices and any account communication preferences.

3. Your cookie choices

When available, the website may provide a cookie banner, preference centre or similar tool that allows you to accept, reject or adjust non-essential cookie categories. Your choices may be stored in a cookie or similar file so that they can be remembered. If you use a different browser, device or clear your browser data, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block all cookies or block cookies from particular websites. Browser controls differ, so you should check the help or settings information for the browser and device you use.

Review the cookie controls presented on the website and choose the categories you wish to allow.
Open your browser settings and review the privacy, security or site-data controls.
Delete existing cookies if you want to remove cookies already stored on your device.
Block or restrict future cookies, while recognising that some website functions may no longer be available.
Review your settings periodically, particularly after updating your browser, changing devices or using a new browser.

Disabling or deleting cookies does not necessarily remove information already collected or held by Pokie Pop Casino or a third-party provider. It may also not stop all forms of data collection. Some services use other technical methods or require essential identifiers to operate securely. To understand how personal information is collected, used, disclosed or retained, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Device and account settings

You may also have privacy controls provided by your operating system, mobile device, browser or account. These controls can affect identifiers, tracking permissions and access to device information. They do not always provide the same choices as the website cookie tool. You are responsible for reviewing the settings available on each device or browser you use.

4. Third-party services and links

Our website may include services supplied by third parties. These services can help with website analytics, security, payments, customer support, content delivery or other functions. A third-party service may place its own cookies or use similar technologies. The availability and operation of those technologies may change over time.

Third parties may process information in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control the cookie practices of independent third parties, and this policy does not describe every technology used by them. You should review the relevant third party's information if you want to understand its practices or available controls.

The website may contain links to external websites, applications or services. Once you leave the Pokie Pop Casino website, the privacy and cookie practices of the external service will apply. We encourage you to read the policies of any website or service before providing information or accepting cookies.

Information collected through cookies

Depending on the technology and the settings applied, information collected may include an IP address or a shortened version of it, device and browser details, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, access times, referral information, preference choices and interactions with website features. Information used for security, compliance or account functions may be handled differently from optional analytics or marketing information.

We take reasonable steps to protect information collected through the website. No online service can guarantee absolute security, and you should use appropriate security measures on your own devices, including keeping software updated and protecting account credentials.

5. Updates and questions

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, services, technology, legal obligations or business practices change. The updated version will be made available on this page, together with a revised effective date where appropriate. Your continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the revised policy, except where applicable law requires a different form of notice or consent.

We recommend checking this page from time to time so that you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies are used. The types of cookies described in this policy are general categories and may not include every individual cookie that may be used at a particular time.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, your cookie choices or the handling of personal information, please use the contact or support options made available on the Pokie Pop Casino website. We will consider requests in accordance with applicable law, our Privacy Policy and any identity or security checks that may be reasonably necessary.

If you are in Australia, you should also consider the responsible gambling information and account controls available on the website. Cookies do not replace responsible gambling tools, verification processes, account restrictions or other safeguards that may apply to the use of online gambling services.
