Cookies Policy

About this Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how australiancasinolist.com (the “Website”) may use cookies and similar technologies when you browse reviews, compare information or follow links to third-party websites. In this Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operator of the Website.

The Website is an informational resource. It does not operate an online casino, accept bets, create gambling accounts or process payments. Cookies placed by a casino or another external service after you leave the Website are controlled by that third party and are not covered by this Policy.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. They may contain an identifier and limited information about a visit, such as a preference, referral source, session status or page interaction.

Cookies do not normally contain files stored on your device. However, identifiers may be combined with an IP address, browser details, device information or browsing activity and may, in some circumstances, be treated as personal information.

The Website or its providers may also use local storage, pixels, tags and similar technologies. References to “cookies” include these tools where appropriate.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support page delivery, security, traffic management and privacy settings. They may help prevent harmful requests or remember cookie choices.

Necessary cookies may not be available for optional disabling. Blocking them may cause parts of the Website to work incorrectly.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies may remember language, display settings, dismissed notices or other choices. Disabling them may require you to select the same preference again later.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies may help us understand how visitors find and use the Website. They may record page views, approximate location, device category, referring source, link interactions, time spent on pages and technical errors.

This information may be used to improve navigation, content and Website performance. Analytics data may be aggregated where reasonably possible.

Affiliate and referral cookies

Some Website links may be affiliate links. When you select one, a referral identifier may be stored or sent to an affiliate network or third-party operator. This helps determine whether a visit or qualifying action originated from the Website.

Affiliate tracking may support reporting, commission attribution and fraud prevention. It does not normally give us access to your casino password, full payment details or gambling history. Offers and transactions remain controlled by the external operator.

Advertising and measurement cookies

If advertising or campaign tools are used, cookies or pixels may measure performance, limit repeated advertisements or support personalised advertising. We do not claim that a particular advertising platform is active unless it is configured on the Website.

Cookie categories and purposes

Not every category is active during every visit. Exact cookie names, domains and expiry periods depend on the tools in use. Current cookies can usually be viewed through browser settings and, where available, the Website’s cookie preference tool.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set from the Website’s domain. Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose services or technology are used on the Website.

Third parties may include hosting, security, analytics, affiliate, advertising or embedded-content providers. They may receive technical and usage information under their own policies. We do not control how they use that information.

How long cookies remain

Session cookies usually expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date, until they are replaced or until you delete them.

Retention periods depend on purpose and provider. Security cookies may last briefly, while preference or affiliate cookies may remain longer. Third-party providers determine the duration of their own cookies.

We aim not to retain cookie-derived information longer than reasonably necessary, subject to security, reporting, legal and record-keeping requirements.

Managing cookies

Where the Website provides a cookie banner or preference tool, you may be able to accept or reject optional categories and change your choices later. Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they support core functions.

Changing a preference may not delete cookies already stored on your device. You may need to remove them through your browser settings. If no Website preference tool is available, cookies can still be managed through browser or device controls.

Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block third-party cookies, delete site data or restrict cross-site tracking. The location of these settings differs between browsers and devices.

Blocking cookies may affect page loading, remembered preferences, analytics and affiliate attribution. Private browsing may reduce information stored on your device but does not necessarily stop websites or third parties from receiving technical information.

External links and third-party websites

The Website contains links to casinos and other external resources. After you follow a link, the destination website may place its own cookies and collect information for registration, payments, security, marketing, identity checks or account management.

Those cookies are governed by the external website’s policies, not this Cookies Policy. We do not control its cookie banner, settings, retention periods or data-sharing practices.

Before creating an account or providing information, review the operator’s privacy policy, cookie settings and terms. You should also confirm that the service is lawful and available in your location.

Cookies and personal information

Some cookie data may be anonymous or aggregated. Other data, particularly when linked to an IP address, device identifier, account identifier or browsing history, may identify or reasonably relate to an individual.

Where cookie information is treated as personal information and applicable privacy law applies, we aim to use it transparently for relevant operational, analytical, security, referral or preference-management purposes. More information is provided in our Privacy Policy.

Your choices and privacy requests

Depending on applicable law and the information held, you may contact us about personal information associated with your Website use, request correction or raise a privacy complaint.

It may not always be possible to connect a browser cookie with a named individual. We may request information to verify a request, and some records may need to be retained for legal, security or record-keeping purposes.

You may also reduce tracking by rejecting optional cookies where controls are available, changing browser settings, clearing site data or choosing not to follow external links.

Visitors under 18

The Website contains gambling-related content and is intended only for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly use cookies to create advertising profiles of children.

Parents and guardians should use appropriate controls to restrict minors’ access to gambling-related websites.

Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Policy when our technology, service providers, cookie practices or legal requirements change.
