This Cookie Policy explains how Australia Online Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on https://australia-onlinecasino.org. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login state, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time so you don't have to keep re-entering them.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons (small invisible images used to track page views) and local storage (a browser feature for storing larger amounts of data locally on your device).
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled through our cookie banner without breaking core functionality. Examples include session cookies that maintain your state as you navigate between pages, security cookies that protect against fraud, and cookies that record your cookie-consent preference.
Typical retention: session to 12 months. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, where they enter and leave the site, and similar usage patterns. We use this data in aggregate to improve content. We currently use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled.
Typical retention: 14–26 months. Legal basis: consent.
2.3 Marketing and Affiliate Tracking Cookies
Marketing cookies — including affiliate-tracking cookies set by the third-party casino operators we link to — record the source of a click so the operator can credit a referral. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information directly, but they may store an anonymous identifier and the time of click.
Typical retention: 30 days to 12 months, set by the third-party operator. Legal basis: consent.
2.4 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make (such as preferred language or region) to provide a more personalised experience.
Typical retention: up to 12 months. Legal basis: consent.
