Cookies Policy | Golden Pokies Casino

About cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They help a website recognise a device, remember selected settings and understand how visitors use different pages. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of a browsing session, while others may remain on a device for a longer period or until they are deleted.

Golden Pokies Casino may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies. These can include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device-related identifiers. In this policy, the term cookies includes these similar technologies unless a specific distinction is needed.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may sometimes be linked with other information associated with your account, device or website activity. The way information is handled depends on the type of cookie, your settings, the service involved and the purpose for which the information is collected.

By using our website, you may encounter cookies placed by Golden Pokies Casino or by carefully selected service providers that support website operation, security, measurement or other online functions. Where consent is required, you may be given the opportunity to accept, refuse or manage non-essential cookies through a cookie banner or preference tool.

Why cookies may be used

Cookies can help us provide a more reliable and convenient online experience. The particular cookies used may change as the website, its features and supporting services change. In general, cookies may be used for the following purposes:

Keeping the website available and helping pages, forms and other functions operate as intended.
Supporting account access, session management and the secure handling of website interactions.
Remembering choices such as language, region, display preferences or cookie settings where those options are available.
Detecting unusual activity, helping protect the website from misuse and supporting fraud prevention or security checks.
Understanding how visitors navigate the website, which pages are visited and whether links or features are working effectively.
Measuring website performance, identifying technical errors and helping improve content, design and usability.
Supporting responsible marketing, campaign measurement or the delivery of information that may be more relevant to a visitor, where permitted and where appropriate consent has been obtained.
Recording whether a notice, message or preference prompt has already been shown, so that it does not appear unnecessarily.

Some cookies are essential for the website to function or for a service you have requested. These cookies may not be available for disabling through a cookie preference tool because turning them off could prevent important website functions from operating correctly. Other cookies are optional and may be controlled through the available settings or your browser.

Cookies may also help us understand broad patterns, such as the number of visitors to a page or the general performance of a feature. This information is normally considered in aggregate or pseudonymous form. It is not intended to reveal more personal information than is reasonably needed for the relevant purpose.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support basic website functions and security. They may help maintain a browsing session, remember security-related information, route requests correctly or provide features that you have specifically asked to use. These cookies are generally required for the website or a requested service to operate, so they may remain active even when optional cookies are declined.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference cookies remember choices made during a visit or during later visits. Functionality cookies may support features that make the website easier to use. For example, they may remember a selected display option, help preserve a setting or reduce the need to enter the same preference repeatedly. If these cookies are disabled, some website features may be less convenient or may not retain your selected settings.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information such as the pages viewed, the time spent on a page, general navigation patterns, the device or browser used and whether an error occurred. This information can be used to assess performance and improve the online experience. Analytics information may be collected by a service provider acting on behalf of the website or by another service involved in measurement.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Advertising or marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns, limit repeated displays or help show content that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may involve third-party platforms and may recognise a browser or device across different websites or services. They are not always used on every page or for every visitor. Where applicable, these cookies are subject to the choices and permissions required by law.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third parties whose services appear on, support or interact with the website. These providers may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. Golden Pokies Casino does not control every third-party technology or the way an independent provider operates. You should review the relevant provider information when it is made available and consider your choices carefully.

Managing your cookie choices

You can manage cookies in several ways. If a cookie preference tool is available on the website, it may allow you to accept or reject categories of optional cookies. Your choices may apply to the browser or device used to make the selection, rather than automatically applying to every device or browser you use.

You can also use the settings in your web browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies, receive alerts before cookies are stored or remove certain categories of stored information. The steps vary between browsers and devices, so you should check the help or privacy section of the browser you use. Some mobile devices also provide controls for advertising identifiers or similar tracking technologies.

Blocking all cookies may cause some website features, account functions or security processes to work incorrectly.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and may require you to make those selections again.
Your settings may need to be updated separately on different browsers, devices or profiles.
Rejecting advertising or analytics cookies does not necessarily stop all advertising or prevent all website measurement.
Essential cookies may continue to operate because they are needed to provide requested or secure website functions.

If you use private browsing, clear your browser data or change devices, your cookie preferences may not be retained. You may also see a cookie notice again if the website cannot recognise a previous selection. Where available, you can revisit the cookie preference tool to review or change your choices.

Cookie choices do not replace other privacy rights or controls. If you have an account or provide information through the website, that information may be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You should also consider the privacy settings offered by your device, operating system, browser and any third-party services you use.

Changes, retention and questions

The cookies and similar technologies used on a website can change over time. New features, security requirements, analytics services or legal requirements may result in changes to this policy or to the available cookie settings. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate.

The period for which a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie, the purpose of the technology and the settings of the relevant service. Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others may remain until they expire or are removed. The retention period for information collected through cookies may also depend on the purpose of collection, security needs, legal obligations and the policies of the relevant service provider.

We aim to use cookies and similar technologies in a proportionate way and to collect information for legitimate website, security, service improvement or communication purposes. Optional technologies should be managed in accordance with the choices available to you and any consent requirements that apply. This policy does not promise that every cookie or third-party technology can be identified at all times, particularly where services or website functions change.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or want more information about how personal information is handled, please use the contact or support options made available on the Golden Pokies Casino website. Do not include sensitive account or payment information unless it is specifically requested through a secure and appropriate channel.

By continuing to use the website after an updated Cookies Policy has been published, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review the updated information. Your use of optional cookies will remain subject to the controls, notices and consent choices presented to you.
