Cookies Policy | AUD Gaming Casino

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be stored on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember selected information and perform certain functions. Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you, although information collected through cookies may sometimes be linked with other information held about you.

AUD Gaming Casino may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other tracking or measurement tools. In this policy, we use the term cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a different distinction is needed.

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 remove them. The length of time a cookie remains may vary depending on its purpose, your device and your browser settings.

Cookies can also be first-party or third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies may be set by a service provider or other organisation that supports website functions, security, analytics, advertising or other services.

How cookies may be used

AUD Gaming Casino may use cookies for several purposes. The cookies used on the website may change over time as features, technology, security requirements and legal obligations develop. Some cookies are necessary for the website to work, while others help us understand how the website is used or provide a more relevant experience.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support core website functions. They may help the website load correctly, maintain a secure session, remember information required while you move between pages, and support account or transaction-related processes. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not operate properly. These cookies are generally not used for advertising purposes.

Security and fraud prevention

Cookies and similar technologies may help detect unusual activity, protect accounts, reduce automated or harmful activity and support the integrity of the website. They may be used alongside other security measures to help protect users, payment processes and platform services. Security-related information may be retained and reviewed where reasonably required for safety, compliance, dispute management or legal purposes.

Functionality and preferences

Some cookies remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. These cookies can make the website easier to use by reducing the need to enter the same information repeatedly. If you remove or block them, some preferences may not be saved and certain features may need to be selected again.

Analytics and performance

Analytics cookies may provide information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, how users move through the site, whether pages function as expected and where technical problems occur. This information may be used in an aggregated or otherwise limited form to improve performance, content, navigation and the overall user experience.

Marketing and measurement

Where permitted and where applicable choices or consent are required, cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of marketing activity, limit repeated advertisements or help present information that is more relevant to a user. Marketing technologies may be provided by third parties. AUD Gaming Casino does not use cookies to override responsible gambling choices or to encourage gambling in a way that is inconsistent with applicable requirements.

Third-party services and links

AUD Gaming Casino may use third-party providers to support functions such as website hosting, security, analytics, payment processing, customer support, content delivery or marketing measurement. These providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies when their services are used on the website. Their handling of information may be subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

We aim to use third-party services in a manner that is consistent with applicable privacy, security and gambling-related requirements. However, AUD Gaming Casino does not control the operation of every third-party website, application or service. You should review the relevant third party's information about its data practices before using an external service or following an external link.

The website may contain links to websites, platforms or services operated by other organisations. Those websites may use cookies under policies that are different from this one. This Cookies Policy applies to the AUD Gaming Casino website and does not govern external websites or services.

Cookies may also be connected with information used to support account administration, identity or age checks, responsible gambling processes, payment activity, fraud prevention or legal compliance. These activities may involve information that is handled under the Privacy Policy and other applicable notices. Cookie data is not considered in isolation from the security and compliance controls that apply to the relevant service.

Your cookie choices

You may be able to control cookies through a cookie banner, preference tool, browser settings or device settings. Where available, the website's cookie controls may allow you to accept, reject or adjust optional categories of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are needed to provide requested services or maintain website security.

Browser and device controls

You can usually view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
You can configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your device.
You may be able to manage tracking permissions through the settings on your mobile device or operating system.
You can use privacy controls provided by some third-party services to manage analytics or advertising technologies.
You can clear existing cookies, although this may sign you out of accounts or remove saved preferences.

If you block or delete cookies, parts of the website may not work correctly. Account features, secure areas, saved settings, forms or other services may be affected. You may also need to repeat your cookie choices after deleting cookies, changing browsers, using a different device or visiting the website in private browsing mode.

Changing cookie settings does not necessarily remove information that was collected before the change. It may also not stop all forms of data collection, such as information collected directly through account activity, server logs or other security systems. For information about access, use, storage, disclosure and protection of personal information, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

Privacy, responsible gambling and legal compliance

Cookies are one part of the information used to operate and improve an online service. AUD Gaming Casino may combine cookie information with other information where reasonably necessary for legitimate business, security, service, compliance or legal purposes. Any handling of personal information is intended to be carried out in accordance with applicable Australian privacy requirements and the terms that apply to the website.

Information collected through cookies may assist with age and identity controls, account protection, responsible gambling safeguards, exclusion or restriction settings, investigation of suspected misuse and the prevention of fraud. Cookies do not replace these controls, and they should not be understood as a guarantee that every risk can be detected or prevented.

AUD Gaming Casino may retain relevant technical or cookie-related information for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain records, resolve complaints, investigate security events, meet legal obligations or protect the rights and safety of users and the business. Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and the reason it is held.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, privacy practices or the use of your information, you may use the available support or contact options provided on the website. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information when making an enquiry.

Changes to this Cookies Policy

AUD Gaming Casino may update this Cookies Policy when the website changes, new technologies are introduced, service providers are changed, legal requirements develop or our information practices are amended. The updated version will be made available on this page and will apply from the date stated in the updated policy, where a date is provided.

We recommend checking this page from time to time so that you remain aware of how cookies and similar technologies may be used. If a change requires a new choice or consent under applicable law, we will provide an appropriate notice or preference mechanism where reasonably practicable.

By continuing to use the website after an updated Cookies Policy is published, you acknowledge the changes, subject to any consent or other rights required by applicable law. If you do not agree with the use of optional cookies, you can adjust your preferences or browser settings, although some website features may be affected.
