Pocket Pokies Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Pocket Pokies Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. It describes the purposes these technologies serve, the choices available to you, and the way third-party services may place or access cookies in connection with our online casino.
Pocket Pokies Casino is intended for people aged 18 and over in Australia. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. If you have questions about this policy, please use the contact page available on the website.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a browser or device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies may help a website operate correctly, improve performance, remember preferences, and provide information about how visitors use its pages.
A cookie does not normally identify you by name on its own. Depending on how it is used and combined with other information, it may be associated with details such as your browser, device, approximate location, website activity, or account session.
Pocket Pokies Casino may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, and local storage. In this policy, the term "cookies" includes these technologies where they perform a similar function.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used on the Pocket Pokies Casino website may be grouped according to their purpose and duration. Some are placed by Pocket Pokies Casino, while others may be provided by selected service providers working on our behalf.
- Session cookies remain on your device only while your browser session is open. They are generally removed when you close the browser.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They may remember settings or recognise a returning visitor.
- First-party cookies are set directly by Pocket Pokies Casino or by technology operating for the website.
- Third-party cookies are set by another service provider, such as an analytics, security, payment, advertising, or content provider.
The exact cookies in use may change as website functions, security measures, and service providers are updated. Where appropriate, information about available cookie choices will be presented through a cookie notice or preference tool.
Cookies Needed for Site Operation
Essential cookies support the basic operation, security, and reliability of the website. Without them, certain services may not work as intended. These cookies are generally used because they are necessary to provide a function requested by you or to operate a secure online service.
Examples of essential uses may include:
- Maintaining a secure login or account session.
- Remembering progress during a registration, account, or transaction process.
- Balancing website traffic across technical systems.
- Detecting suspicious activity, automated abuse, or unauthorised access attempts.
- Supporting responsible access controls, age-related checks, and other account safeguards where applicable.
- Remembering cookie consent choices so that the website can respect your selected settings.
Because these cookies are required for core functions, disabling them may prevent access to parts of the website or interfere with account, payment, security, or navigation features. Essential cookies do not usually provide a way to opt out through the website preference tool, although you may be able to block them through your browser settings.
Performance and Analytics Tools
Performance cookies help Pocket Pokies Casino understand how the website operates and how visitors use it. They can provide aggregated information about page visits, loading times, navigation paths, errors, and the performance of different website features.
This information may help us identify technical problems, improve page speed, simplify navigation, and assess whether website content is useful. For example, performance information may show that a particular page is difficult to load or that visitors leave a process before completing it.
Analytics information is generally reviewed in a combined or statistical form. Where an analytics provider processes information on our behalf, it is expected to handle that information according to its applicable terms and privacy requirements. Performance cookies may not be essential to basic access, so your choices may be available through the cookie settings tool or your browser.
Preferences and Convenience
Functional cookies support features that make the website more convenient and tailored to your preferences. They may remember choices made during a visit so that you do not need to enter the same information repeatedly.
Depending on the features available on the website, functional cookies may be used to remember:
- Language, region, or display preferences.
- Previously selected website settings.
- Information that helps provide a consistent experience between visits.
- Choices made in interactive tools or account-related features.
If you reject functional cookies, the website should remain available for essential activities, but some preferences may not be saved. You may also need to repeat selections or adjust settings each time you visit. The availability of these cookies can depend on the functions and technical services offered by Pocket Pokies Casino at the relevant time.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand advertising activity, measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, or show content that is more relevant to a visitor's apparent interests. They may also help Pocket Pokies Casino and its advertising partners assess whether promotional communications or campaigns have reached an appropriate audience.
These cookies can collect information about browsing activity across a website and, in some cases, across different websites or services. They may be placed by Pocket Pokies Casino or by a third-party advertising or measurement provider. Marketing cookies should not be used to bypass age restrictions or responsible gambling safeguards.
Marketing cookies are generally optional. If you decline them, you may still see promotional content, but it may be less tailored and campaign measurement may be less precise. Your decision about marketing cookies does not automatically change your marketing communication preferences, account settings, or choices made under other Pocket Pokies Casino policies.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
You can manage optional cookies through the cookie banner, preference centre, or settings tool made available on the Pocket Pokies Casino website. The options presented may allow you to accept or refuse certain categories, subject to the need for essential cookies.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block cookies from particular websites.
- Block all or certain types of cookies.
- Receive a notification before cookies are stored.
Browser controls operate separately from the Pocket Pokies Casino cookie tool. Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences, end active sessions, or affect the operation of account and website features. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one.
Some mobile devices also provide controls for limiting advertising technologies or resetting identifiers. The available options depend on your device, operating system, and browser. Disabling optional cookies does not remove information already collected before the change, and it may not prevent all technologies that are strictly necessary for website security or operation.
Services Provided by Others
Pocket Pokies Casino may use third-party providers to support website hosting, security, analytics, payments, content delivery, customer functionality, marketing measurement, or other technical services. These providers may place cookies or use similar technologies when their services are active on the website.
Third parties may process information according to their own privacy notices and contractual arrangements. Their cookies may be subject to settings or controls that are managed by the relevant provider rather than by Pocket Pokies Casino. We do not treat the presence of a third-party tool as permission for that provider to use information for purposes outside the service it supplies or the choices available to you.
Links to external websites may also appear on the Pocket Pokies Casino website. Once you leave our website, the external website's own privacy and cookie practices apply. You should review those practices before providing information or accepting cookies on another website. Pocket Pokies Casino does not control the cookie settings of external websites.
Changes to This Policy
Pocket Pokies Casino may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers, business processes, or legal and compliance approach changes. Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate.
Changes may include the introduction of a new cookie category, a change in the purpose of an existing technology, or clearer information about how preferences can be managed. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before using account, gaming, promotional, or payment features.
Where a change materially affects your choices, we may provide additional notice through the website or cookie preference tool. Your continued use of the website after an updated policy is displayed will be handled in accordance with the choices you make and the settings available at that time.
