Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. A cookie normally contains information that allows a website to recognise a particular browser or device. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, such as your name or full contact details. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information associated with your account or use of the website.

Websites may also use technologies that perform similar functions to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, device identifiers and other technical tools. In this policy, the word cookies includes cookies and similar technologies unless a particular distinction is required.

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active can depend on its purpose, your browser settings, the type of device used and the organisation that places it.

Some cookies may be set directly by Winz Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, customer services, advertising or other online functions. Third-party providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices and applicable legal requirements.

Cookies can help websites remember information between pages and visits. They may also help a website identify technical problems, protect accounts, understand how visitors use its content and provide a more consistent experience. Cookies cannot be used to give you access to services for which you are not eligible, and they do not remove the need to comply with applicable account, age, identity or location requirements.

How cookies may be used

The cookies used on the Winz Casino website may vary depending on the pages you visit, the features you use, your device, the services available at the time and the choices you make through the cookie preference tool. Cookies may be used for the following general purposes.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be required for the website to operate properly. They can support page navigation, secure areas, account access, session management, traffic distribution, fraud prevention, security controls and the display of basic website content. These cookies may operate because they are needed to provide a service you have requested. If they are disabled, some parts of the website may not work as intended.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference and functionality cookies may remember choices you make so the website can provide a more convenient experience. For example, they may help remember language, region, display or other settings. They may also support features that you choose to use during a visit. If you decline these cookies, you may need to set certain preferences again when you return to the website.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies may help Winz Casino understand how visitors use the website. Information may include which pages are viewed, how long pages remain open, whether links are selected, which features are used and whether technical errors occur. This information may be assessed in an aggregated or otherwise limited form to monitor performance, identify problems, improve navigation and develop the website.

Security and compliance cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may assist with website security, account protection, access controls, detection of unusual activity and prevention of misuse. They may also help support legal, regulatory and responsible gambling processes where those processes are relevant to the services provided. Security-related technologies may continue to operate even when optional cookies are declined.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising and marketing cookies may help measure the effectiveness of advertising, limit repeated advertising and present content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Winz Casino or by advertising and technology partners. These cookies are generally optional and may be managed through the available preference controls or your browser settings.

Information collected through cookies may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, general location, referring website, pages viewed, actions taken, dates and times of visits and information about how you interact with the website. The information may be used for legitimate website, service, security, analytical, legal or marketing purposes that relate to the way the website is operated.

Your choices and cookie controls

When available, the website may display a cookie banner or preference tool that allows you to accept, reject or adjust optional cookie categories. Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are needed to provide requested website functions. Your preferences may apply only to the browser or device used to set them, so you may need to make the same choice on another device or browser.

You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites, block third-party cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. The steps differ between browsers and devices, so you should check the relevant browser help settings for instructions.

• Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and sign you out of areas that require an active session.
• Blocking all cookies may affect website navigation, security features, account functions and other services.
• Changing browser settings may not remove cookies that have already been stored unless you delete them separately.
• Opting out of marketing cookies does not necessarily mean that you will see no advertising; it may mean that advertising is less relevant to you.
• If you use more than one browser or device, your settings may need to be updated separately on each one.
• Some cookie controls may need to be selected again if you clear your browser data or use a private browsing mode.

Some third-party services may provide their own controls for managing cookies or similar technologies. Those controls are separate from the settings available on the Winz Casino website. Winz Casino does not control the privacy practices, tools or policies of third parties, and you should review their information before using an external opt-out option.

Your cookie choices do not replace other choices available under the Privacy Policy. For example, you may have rights or options relating to access, correction, deletion, marketing communications or the handling of personal information. Those matters are explained in the Privacy Policy and may be subject to applicable laws, reasonable verification requirements and any lawful exceptions.

If you choose not to allow optional cookies, you may still be able to browse parts of the website. However, some features may be less convenient, may not remember your settings or may not function fully. Changing cookie preferences does not cancel an account, remove existing account information or change any separate consent you may have provided for communications.

Third parties, retention and policy changes

Winz Casino may use service providers to help host, secure, operate, measure or improve the website. These providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies on behalf of Winz Casino, or may process information collected through their services. Depending on the features available, third parties may support website security, analytics, hosting, customer support, payment-related functions, advertising or other technical services.

Information obtained through cookies may be retained for different periods depending on its purpose. Session information may be kept only while a visit is active, while other information may remain for longer where it is needed for security, analytics, record keeping, dispute handling, legal compliance or another legitimate business purpose. Retention periods may also be determined by the relevant service provider and its applicable policies.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used alongside other information to help protect the website and its users. This may include identifying repeated failed access attempts, unusual activity, automated traffic or behaviour that appears inconsistent with the website rules. These measures are intended to support security and cannot be used to bypass account restrictions, responsible gambling controls, identity checks or other safeguards.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies used, third-party services, legal requirements or privacy practices. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page. You should review this page periodically so that you understand how cookies may be used and what choices may be available.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or believe that information collected through cookies has been handled incorrectly, you can contact Winz Casino through the contact options made available on the website. Please do not send sensitive account, payment or identity information through an unsecured channel unless it is specifically requested through an appropriate support process.

Nothing in this policy limits any rights or protections that apply to you under Australian law. Where a provision of this policy conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, the mandatory requirement will apply to the extent of that conflict. The remaining provisions will continue to operate where permitted.
