Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or another device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise a device or remember information about a visit. Some cookies are stored only while your browser is open. These are often called session cookies and are removed when the browsing session ends. Other cookies remain on your device for longer, subject to their purpose, expiry settings and the controls available through your browser.

Advantage Casino may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and software development tools. In this policy, we refer to these technologies together as cookies unless a distinction is needed. These technologies may collect information such as device type, browser type, language preferences, pages viewed, approximate location based on technical information, links selected and general information about how you interact with the website.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be combined with other information that you provide or that is collected when you use the website. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

Why cookies are used

Cookies can make an online service easier to use and more reliable. For example, they may help maintain a secure session, remember selected settings, identify technical problems, prevent unusual activity and provide information about website performance. They may also help us understand which pages are useful to visitors and where improvements may be needed.

2. Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on a website can differ depending on the services, features and technology available at a particular time. Advantage Casino may use the following broad categories. A particular category may not be active on every page or during every visit.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support essential website functions. They may be needed to load pages, maintain security, manage a login or account session, remember privacy choices, protect forms, route website traffic or provide a requested service. Because some of these cookies are necessary for the website to function, disabling them may prevent certain pages or features from working correctly.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies remember choices you make, such as language, display preferences or other settings. They can help provide a more consistent experience when you return to the website. If you reject or delete these cookies, you may need to select your preferences again and some convenience features may not operate as expected.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information about visits, page views, loading times, navigation and errors. The information can be used in an aggregated or otherwise limited form to monitor performance, identify technical issues and improve website content, design and functionality. Analytics information is not intended to reveal more personal information than is reasonably needed for these purposes.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to help protect the website, accounts and transactions from misuse. They may assist with detecting automated activity, repeated failed attempts, suspicious behaviour, session irregularities or other activity that could present a security risk. Refusing these technologies may affect access to some services because security checks may not work properly.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used, these cookies may help measure the effectiveness of communications or show information that is more relevant to a visitor's interests. They may be placed by Advantage Casino or by service providers acting on our behalf. Advertising cookies may also help limit repeated messages and understand whether a communication has been viewed or selected. You can usually control these cookies through the cookie preference tool or your browser settings.

3. Cookies used by service providers

Some website functions may be provided with the assistance of third-party service providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to support hosting, security, analytics, performance monitoring, communications, content delivery or other website services. Their technologies may be subject to their own privacy notices and cookie information.

Advantage Casino does not control every technology used by an external provider. We take reasonable steps to work with providers whose services are suitable for the relevant purpose, but the availability and operation of third-party cookies may change. We may update this policy when the technologies or services used on the website change.

Third-party services may process information in Australia or another country, depending on the provider and the way its service operates. Any handling of personal information will be subject to the applicable privacy framework and the terms described in our Privacy Policy. You should review a provider's own information if you want to understand how it manages data collected through its technology.

Information collected through cookies

• The date and time of a visit or interaction.
• The pages, screens or features viewed and the general path taken through the website.
• Browser, operating system, device and technical configuration information.
• Approximate location information inferred from technical details, where available.
• Information about website errors, loading performance and security events.
• Cookie preferences and other settings selected during a visit.
• Information about whether a message, link or website feature was viewed or used.

The information collected through cookies may be used to operate, secure, maintain and improve the website; remember preferences; understand usage; investigate faults; support responsible communications; and meet legal, regulatory or risk-management obligations where applicable. We do not use cookies to remove or replace any account, identity or age-verification requirements that may apply to an online gambling service.

4. Managing and changing cookie choices

When available, the website's cookie preference tool allows you to accept, reject or adjust categories of cookies that are not essential. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the preference can be recognised on a later visit. If you clear your cookies, change device or use another browser, you may be asked to make your choices again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from some or all websites, or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. The steps vary between browsers and devices, so you should check the help or settings information for the product you use.

• Blocking all cookies may improve control over your device but can prevent essential website functions from working.
• Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and may sign you out of services that rely on session information.
• Changing settings on one browser or device may not change settings on another browser or device.
• Some third-party cookies may require separate controls provided by the relevant service provider.
• Cookie controls may not remove information that was collected before the change was made.

If you use a mobile device, operating system settings may also provide controls for advertising identifiers, tracking and similar technologies. These settings do not always control every type of cookie, so browser settings and the website's preference tool may still be needed.

Your privacy and responsible use

Cookies are only one part of how information may be collected when you use an online service. Please avoid sharing account credentials or personal information with anyone else and use the security settings available on your device. If you are using gambling services, take time to understand the available responsible gambling information, account controls and support options before you play.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes to the website, the technologies used, legal requirements or our information-handling practices. The updated version will be made available on this page and will apply from the date shown or from the time it is published, unless a different date is stated. We encourage you to review this page from time to time so you remain aware of how cookies may be used.

If you have a question about this policy or wish to make a privacy-related request, use the contact or support options made available through the Advantage Casino website. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an initial message. Further information about personal information, access requests and other privacy matters is available in our Privacy Policy.
