Cookies Policy | Winaud Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. They allow a website to remember information about your visit, recognise your browser and support features that help the site work as intended. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits and local storage, can perform some of the same functions. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a distinction is necessary.

Cookies may be set by Winaud Casino, or they may be placed by selected third-party service providers that support website functions. Some cookies operate only during your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The exact duration can depend on the purpose of the cookie, your browser settings and the service using it.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with information you provide when using an account or service. Where this occurs, the information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Why cookies are used

To help the website load, function and remain available across supported devices and browsers.
To remember choices you make, such as language, display or session preferences.
To support account access, authentication, security checks and the prevention of suspicious or unauthorised activity.
To understand how visitors use the website, including which pages or features are visited and whether links work as expected.
To improve website design, performance, content and usability.
To assist with relevant advertising, campaign measurement or communications where these activities are used and permitted.
To help protect the integrity of gaming services and support responsible operation of the platform.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for core website functions. They may support navigation, secure areas, account sessions, fraud prevention, load balancing and other technical processes. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not operate correctly. Because they are necessary for the delivery of a service you request, they may not be removable through every cookie preference tool. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent the site or particular features from working.

Functional or preference cookies

Functional cookies help remember information about your choices and settings. For example, they may support language preferences, display settings, region selections or other options that make the website more convenient to use. If you disable these cookies, the website may still be available, but you may need to repeat certain choices each time you visit.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand general patterns of website use. They may provide information about visits, page views, navigation, loading performance, errors and interactions with website features. This information is used to identify technical issues, measure improvements and make the online experience clearer and more reliable. Analytics information may be collected in an aggregated or pseudonymised form, depending on the technology and settings in use.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure the performance of campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand how visitors arrive at the website and present content that may be more relevant. These cookies may be provided by third parties acting on our behalf or independently under their own privacy terms. We do not suggest that all advertising or marketing cookies will be used at all times. Their availability and purpose may change as services and campaigns change.

Security and service protection technologies

Some cookies and similar technologies are used to protect accounts, transactions, games and website services. They can help identify unusual activity, support device or session checks, reduce abuse and maintain the security of the platform. Blocking these technologies may affect our ability to provide certain services or detect activity that could place users or the platform at risk.

Your cookie choices

When a cookie preference tool is available, you can use it to review the categories of cookies used on the website and make choices about optional cookies. Your preferences may be stored in a cookie or similar technology so that the website can remember your selection. If you clear your browser data, use another device or access the website through another browser, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also manage cookies through the settings of your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites or block all cookies. Browser controls differ between providers, so you should refer to your browser's help or privacy information for instructions. You may also be able to manage some advertising preferences through industry or platform tools available in your region.

Disabling optional cookies does not necessarily stop all advertising or online content. It may mean that content is less tailored to your interests, and it may affect the measurement of campaigns or website performance. Blocking necessary cookies can prevent account functions, security checks, navigation and other essential services from operating correctly.

Your choices about cookies are separate from choices relating to promotional messages, account communications, marketing preferences, privacy rights or responsible gambling tools. Those choices may be managed through different settings or processes. If you use the website while signed in, some information may continue to be processed for account, security, legal or service purposes even when optional cookies are disabled.

Mobile devices and applications

If you access our services through a mobile device or application, similar technologies may be managed through the device or application settings rather than ordinary browser cookie settings. Your device may provide controls for advertising identifiers, permissions, storage and tracking. Changing these settings may affect the operation or personalisation of the service. Any application-specific notices or permissions should also be reviewed before use.

Third-party services, privacy and updates

Some website functions may rely on third-party providers, such as hosting, security, analytics, payment support, customer service, identity or technical service providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver their services, maintain security, measure performance or support the website. Their processing may be subject to separate privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review the information provided by those third parties where it is made available.

Third-party cookies may allow information about your activity on this website to be combined with information collected elsewhere by the relevant provider. The availability of these technologies may depend on the service, your location, your device and your preferences. We take reasonable steps to use service providers that are appropriate for the relevant website function, but third-party services may change over time.

Information collected through cookies may include your device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, IP address, pages viewed, time spent on a page, referring website, links followed, session information and interaction with website features. The information collected will depend on the cookie and the settings applied. We use information for purposes such as providing services, maintaining security, understanding use of the website, improving our products and meeting legal or operational obligations.

For more information about how personal information is collected, used, stored, disclosed and protected, please read the Winaud Casino Privacy Policy. That policy also explains applicable rights, how privacy requests may be made and how information may be handled when service providers are located in Australia or overseas. Where a conflict exists between this Cookies Policy and the Privacy Policy about personal information, the Privacy Policy will apply to that matter.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, services, technologies, legal obligations or privacy practices change. An updated version will be made available on this page, with the revised date or other notice shown where appropriate. We recommend checking this page from time to time so that you remain aware of how cookies and similar technologies are used. Your continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.

When making a privacy-related request, you may need to provide enough information for us to understand and verify the request.
