Cookies Policy

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device by a website or application when you visit it. They help the site remember your actions and preferences, making your browsing experience more efficient and personalized.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to ensure our website functions as expected and provides an optimal user experience. Cookies enable us to store your login information, recall your language settings, and track certain interactions on our platform.

Essential Cookies

These are the most basic types of cookies required for a website's functionality. We need essential cookies to:

  • Store session IDs
  • Keep you logged in during a browsing session
  • Retrieve data from other servers

These cookies do not have an expiration date, as they must remain active while your session is ongoing.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary files stored on your device for the duration of your visit. They disappear once you close your browser or log out of our site. Our site uses session cookies to:

  • Store user authentication tokens
  • Keep track of cart contents (if applicable)
  • Maintain other dynamic data during a browsing session

Persistent Cookies

These types of cookies remain stored on your device even after closing the browser and can be accessed in future sessions or visits. We use persistent cookies for:

  • User preferences, such as language settings
  • Customization options, like font sizes
  • Tracking user behavior over time (non-essential)

Persistent cookies have an expiration date set by us to manage their lifetime.

Functional Cookies

We use these types of cookies to tailor our platform's appearance and functionality based on your device, browser type, or previous interactions. This ensures compatibility with various browsers and helps prevent issues caused by differences in technology capabilities.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

To better understand how users interact with our site, we employ analytics tools that utilize non-essential cookies for tracking activity like page visits, clicks, and scroll behavior over time. These insights aid us in platform optimization and improvement.

Preference and Language Settings

We store your language preferences using a combination of session cookies (if set during the current visit) or persistent ones (set after revisiting our site). If you opt to reset these settings or choose an entirely different preference on future visits, we will store this new selection via another cookie as applicable.

Login/Session Continuity

Cookies enable seamless transitions between pages and functionality while logged in. They help us remember your account information, so there's no need for repeated login attempts when navigating our platform.

Device Recognition

Using cookies (or sometimes other data), we can recognize return visitors to ensure consistency of the user experience across different devices or browsers used by one person during various visits.

Security-Related Cookies

Some cookies are used to enhance security, such as session validation tokens stored in secure memory. These help prevent common web attacks and unauthorized access.

Browser Storage Technologies

We also leverage technologies that go beyond traditional cookies, like local storage (a part of HTML5) or IndexedDB (for storing large amounts of data locally on a device), which improve the overall functionality and performance of our website without directly using cookies in all cases.

Third-Party Integrations

To ensure the best experience across various browsers and devices, we may integrate third-party technologies into our platform. These integrations are subject to the respective terms and conditions of their providers regarding data handling and privacy compliance.

Marketing or Communication Preferences

Some cookies might be utilized for marketing purposes like remembering your cookie consent choices or other communication preferences.

Cookie Consent Management

We respect users' rights under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines by offering an opt-in or opt-out option via a prominent banner on the platform. Users who choose to decline can still access our site's content, even though certain functionalities might be limited without the use of cookies.

Browser Controls for Cookies

The vast majority of modern web browsers offer users controls over cookies and similar storage technologies through built-in settings menus or privacy preferences. 

You can choose to block or delete specific types of cookies, including our essential ones. However, doing so might limit the functionality and user experience offered on our site.

Impact of Blocking Cookies

Some features may not work as intended when blocking all cookies. Please note that we will provide clear information about which functionalities rely on certain cookie types through visual indicators within your browsing session or notifications upon attempting to use a specific feature without required permissions (cookies enabled).

Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimisation

To ensure seamless interactions, monitor performance issues, and adapt our platform according to emerging technology standards, we may deploy diagnostic scripts. These are typically executed once by the browser at page load but might re-run during the user's stay if cookies have been cleared or preferences adjusted.

Cookies contribute significantly to a website's usability and functionality. We commit to transparency regarding their use in maintaining an excellent browsing experience for our visitors while ensuring compliance with regulations around personal data handling. If you choose not to accept any type of cookie, please be aware that certain features might need to operate without the assistance these tools provide.

Cookies will always remain subject to the preferences set by your browser or within your individual device settings at all times while using Pokies Casino SGA.
