Cookies Policy | Whackaus Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device or remember information about a visit. Cookies can help a website function properly, remember preferences and provide information about how visitors use its pages.

Whackaus Casino may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, software development kits and similar technologies. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as cookies unless a different explanation is needed. Some cookies may be placed by us, while others may be placed by service providers that support website operation, security, analytics or other services.

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be combined with other information connected with your account, device or website activity. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and our Privacy Policy.

How cookies can be used

To keep the website secure and help detect unusual, fraudulent or unauthorised activity.
To enable essential website functions, including navigation, account access and session management.
To remember choices such as language, region, display settings and other preferences.
To understand how visitors use the website and identify areas that may be improved.
To help the website load correctly and provide a consistent experience across devices.
To support relevant communications, advertising or promotional measurement where permitted.
To maintain records of consent and cookie choices where those records are required.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support account sign-in, session security, page navigation, fraud prevention, load balancing and the operation of features you request. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not work as intended. Because they are necessary for website operation, they may not always be capable of being disabled through a cookie preference tool. You may still be able to block them using your browser settings, but doing so could prevent access to some services or features.

Functionality and preference cookies

These cookies help remember information that makes your visit more convenient. For example, they may remember selected preferences, reduce the need to repeat information and support the presentation of the website. If you remove or reject these cookies, the website may still be available, but some settings may need to be selected again during a later visit.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies may collect information about how visitors interact with the website. This can include the pages visited, the links selected, approximate location, browser type, device information, time spent on a page and general traffic patterns. This information is generally used in an aggregated or otherwise controlled form to measure performance, identify technical issues and improve content, navigation and usability.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand the effectiveness of promotions and present content that may be more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be operated by third-party providers. They are not required for basic browsing, and you may be able to refuse them through the cookie controls provided on the website or through your browser.

Third-party cookies

Some services integrated into the website may set their own cookies. These services can include security tools, analytics providers, content delivery services, payment or identity-related tools, and advertising or technology partners. Third parties may process information under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party information where it is made available. We do not treat a third-party cookie as permission for that provider to use information for purposes outside the service it supplies, subject to the provider’s terms and applicable law.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select categories of cookies. Your choices may be saved for a period of time so that the notice does not appear on every visit. If you use another device, browser or private browsing session, you may need to make your choices again.

You can also manage cookies through the settings in 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 check the help or privacy section of your browser for instructions. You can usually search the browser’s support information for terms such as ‘cookies’, ‘site data’ or ‘privacy settings’.

Open your browser’s settings or privacy controls.
Find the section dealing with cookies, site data or tracking protection.
Choose whether to allow, restrict or delete cookies.
Review the result and adjust the settings if a website feature no longer works as expected.

Disabling optional cookies should not normally prevent general browsing. However, blocking all cookies may affect account functions, security checks, saved preferences, interactive features and other parts of the website. Deleting cookies may also remove settings or identifiers that are needed to remember a previous choice. You may need to select your preferences again after clearing browser data.

Cookie controls do not necessarily remove information that has already been collected or stored separately from cookies. If you have an account with Whackaus Casino, other information may continue to be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the terms applying to your account. Where applicable, you may have additional rights relating to personal information, including rights to request access, correction or other action under Australian privacy law.

Privacy, security and policy updates

Information collected through cookies may include device identifiers, internet protocol address, browser and operating system details, website activity, referral information and technical event data. The precise information depends on the cookie or technology involved and the settings of your device and browser. We aim to use information responsibly, apply appropriate safeguards and limit access to people and service providers who need it for legitimate business, security or operational purposes.

Cookies may help us identify technical problems, investigate suspicious activity and protect the website, our systems and users. They may also help us understand whether a session is active and whether requests are coming from a genuine user. Cookie information should not be used as a substitute for responsible gambling controls, account verification or other checks that may apply to online gambling services.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, website features, service providers, legal requirements or our information-handling practices. When changes are made, the updated version will be made available on this page and the revision date may be updated. If a change materially affects the way optional cookies are used, we may provide a new notice or request updated preferences where appropriate.

Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in a general enquiry. For account-related matters, use the secure account or support process where one is available.
