Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember certain information and provide features that may make your visit more convenient. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits and local storage, can perform related functions. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless we say otherwise.

Cookies can be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains may depend on its purpose and the settings used by the website or the relevant service provider.

Some cookies are set directly by Advantage Casino. Other cookies may be set by third parties that provide services used on the website. Third-party cookies may support functions such as website analytics, security, content delivery or advertising. The organisations that place these cookies may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices.

Information that cookies may collect

Depending on their purpose, cookies may collect information such as your device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, language preference, pages viewed, links selected, access times, referring website and interactions with website features. Cookies may also help identify whether a device has visited the website before. Information collected through cookies does not necessarily identify you by name, but it may be combined with other information that we hold or receive.

Cookies do not normally give us access to files stored on your device, and they cannot usually run programmes or deliver viruses. However, certain technologies may be used to recognise a browser or device across visits. You can control many cookie functions through your browser and, where available, the website's cookie preference tools.

2. Why we use cookies

Advantage Casino may use cookies for several purposes. The specific cookies in use may change over time as website features, security requirements, service providers and legal obligations change. Cookies may be used to support the following activities:

• Essential website functions, including page navigation, account access, session management and the delivery of requested services.
• Security and fraud prevention, including helping to detect unusual activity, protect accounts and support the integrity of transactions and games.
• Remembering choices, such as language, region, display preferences and other settings you select during a visit.
• Performance and analytics, including understanding how visitors use the website, identifying errors and improving speed, structure, content and functionality.
• Service improvement, including testing changes to pages or features and measuring whether those changes provide a better user experience.
• Communications and marketing, where permitted, including helping to show relevant information, measure campaigns and understand interactions with promotional content.
• Compliance and record keeping, including supporting responsible gambling processes, access controls, age and identity checks, and the proper operation of the website.

Essential cookies are generally required for the website to operate as intended. If you block or remove these cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly. For example, you may be unable to sign in, move between account pages, maintain a secure session or use certain interactive features.

Non-essential cookies may help us understand website use or provide additional functionality. Where required by applicable law, we will ask for your consent before using these cookies. You may be able to accept or reject categories of non-essential cookies through a cookie banner, preference centre or similar tool. Your choices may be stored in a cookie or related setting so that they can be applied on future visits.

Responsible gambling and security

Some cookies and similar technologies may support measures designed to maintain a safe and compliant gambling environment. These measures can include maintaining secure logins, protecting accounts, preventing misuse, identifying suspicious behaviour, supporting age and identity processes, and helping apply responsible gambling controls. Disabling technologies used for these purposes may affect access to certain services or may require additional checks.

3. Managing your cookie choices

You can manage cookies in several ways. Where available, you can use the cookie preference tool on the website to select which categories of non-essential cookies you accept. You can also change your browser settings to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. The steps vary between browsers and devices, so you may need to check the help or settings menu for your browser.

If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one. Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences, sign-in information and other settings. If you later visit the website again, we may ask you to confirm your choices or may apply your browser's current settings.

1. Review the cookie banner or preference centre when you first visit the website.
2. Choose whether to accept or reject available categories of non-essential cookies.
3. Use your browser or device settings to delete existing cookies or prevent future cookies from being stored.
4. Review settings again after clearing browser data, changing devices or installing a new browser.
5. Contact us through the available website channels if you have a question about cookie choices or privacy.

Blocking cookies does not necessarily stop all data collection. For example, information may still be collected through essential technologies, server logs, account activity or other security and operational systems. Cookie settings also do not automatically withdraw consent for other forms of processing that are governed by our Privacy Policy.

Some third-party services may provide their own controls for managing cookies, targeted advertising or analytics. If a third party places a cookie, you may need to use that provider's settings or opt-out process. We do not control all third-party tools, websites or privacy practices, and you should review the relevant provider's information before using those controls.

4. Privacy, updates and further information

Information collected through cookies may be handled as personal information where it identifies, relates to or can reasonably be linked with an individual. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored and protected, as well as the rights and choices that may be available to you under applicable Australian privacy law. It also explains how to raise a privacy question or request where a process is available.

We may share cookie-related information with service providers that help operate, secure, analyse or improve the website. These providers may process information on our behalf and may be located in Australia or overseas, depending on the service and applicable arrangements. We take reasonable steps to deal with personal information in accordance with applicable privacy obligations, but information sent over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children and age restrictions

The website and gambling services are intended only for people who meet the applicable minimum age and eligibility requirements. We do not knowingly seek to collect information from children for gambling purposes. If you believe a child has provided information through the website, please use the available contact process so the matter can be reviewed.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers, legal obligations or business practices change. The updated version will be made available on this page, and the date or other notice may be updated where appropriate. You should review this policy from time to time so that you understand how cookies and similar technologies are being used. If a change requires renewed consent, we may display a new notice or preference request.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, your cookie preferences or the way Advantage Casino handles information, please use the contact or support options made available on the website. Please do not send sensitive account, payment or identity information through an unsecured channel unless it is specifically requested through an appropriate process.

By continuing to use the website, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used as described in this policy, subject to any choices available to you and any consent requirements that apply. Your use of the website remains subject to the applicable terms, privacy information and responsible gambling requirements.
