Cookies Policy | Crown Slots Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar data files placed on your computer, mobile device or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support features during a visit or later visits. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information we hold about you, depending on how you use our website and services.

We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These can include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device-related identifiers. In this policy, we refer to cookies and similar technologies together as cookies unless a distinction is necessary.

Cookies can be set by Crown Slots Casino, or by third parties that provide services on our behalf or whose content or tools appear on our website. Some cookies last only for the duration of your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them.

Cookies help websites remember information and respond to actions taken during a visit. For example, they may help keep a session active, remember selected preferences, support website security or provide information about how visitors use a page. The specific cookies used may change as our website, technology and services develop.

2. How we use cookies

Crown Slots Casino may use cookies for several purposes. The type and number of cookies used can change as our website, technology, services and legal obligations develop. We aim to use cookies in a way that supports a secure, reliable and convenient experience for visitors and players.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for essential website functions. They may help us provide secure areas, maintain a session, process requests, remember privacy choices, protect against misuse and support basic navigation. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly. Strictly necessary cookies generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools because they are required to provide requested services.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices or information that make your visit more convenient. For example, they may remember language, display, region, accessibility or other settings that you select. They can also support features that are not essential but improve the way the website operates. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and you may need to make the same selections again.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, whether links work and where technical issues occur. The information may be collected in an aggregated or pseudonymised form. We may use it to assess website performance, improve content, identify errors, understand general visitor behaviour and make the website easier to use. Analytics information is not intended to be used to make decisions about a person solely on the basis of their browsing activity.

Security, fraud prevention and compliance cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to help protect accounts, transactions and website systems. These technologies can assist with detecting unusual activity, preventing automated misuse, supporting identity and age-related controls, maintaining platform integrity and meeting applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Disabling these technologies may affect our ability to provide certain services or may cause additional checks to be required.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where permitted and where relevant choices have been provided, marketing cookies may help us understand interactions with promotional content, measure campaigns or show information that is more relevant to your interests. They may be placed by us or by approved service providers. These cookies may allow activity across different websites or services to be associated with a device or browser. We do not use this policy to promise that any particular advertising or marketing technology will always be used.

3. Third-party cookies and external services

Some website functions may be supplied by third parties. These providers may place their own cookies or use similar technologies to deliver, secure, analyse or improve their services. For example, third-party technologies may support website measurement, embedded content, fraud prevention, communications, customer support or payment-related functions. The relevant third party may process information in accordance with its own privacy documentation.

We take reasonable steps to work with service providers that are appropriate for the relevant function. However, we do not control all third-party technologies or their independent privacy practices. You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by a third party where you want to understand how it handles information. Third-party services may change their cookies, purposes or settings without notice to us, subject to their own obligations.

Our website may also contain links to websites or services operated by others. Once you leave our website, the privacy and cookie practices of the destination website will apply. We recommend checking the relevant policy before providing personal information or accepting optional cookies on another website.

Information collected by a third party may be processed outside Australia, depending on the provider and the services being supplied. Any handling of personal information is subject to the applicable arrangements, notices and legal requirements relevant to that service. You should consider the terms of an external provider before using a linked service.

4. Managing your cookie choices

Where available, our cookie preference tool allows you to accept, reject or adjust optional categories of cookies. Your choices may be stored in a cookie or similar file so that they can be remembered. If you delete cookies, use a different browser, change devices or browse in private mode, 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, block, delete or restrict cookies. You may be able to set your browser to notify you before a cookie is placed, or to reject cookies automatically. Device settings may provide additional controls for advertising identifiers and similar technologies.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from operating or may affect security and account functions.
Blocking preference cookies may cause selected settings to be lost or may reduce the convenience of future visits.
Blocking analytics cookies will not normally prevent you from browsing, but it may limit our ability to understand and improve website performance.
Blocking marketing cookies may reduce personalised advertising, but you may still see general advertising or promotional content.
Cookie controls apply to the browser or device where they are set and may not apply to another browser or device.

Some browsers and devices offer a do-not-track or similar setting. Because there is no single industry standard for responding to these signals, our website may not respond to every such setting in the same way. You can use the cookie preference tool and browser controls to manage optional cookies where those controls are available.

If you share a computer or mobile device, other users may be able to access cookie settings or activity associated with that device. You can reduce this risk by signing out of accounts, using suitable privacy settings and deleting cookies when appropriate. Cookie controls do not replace account security measures or responsible use of the website.

5. Information, privacy and policy changes

Information collected through cookies may include a device or browser identifier, internet protocol address, approximate location, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, links selected, dates and times of visits, referring websites and information about interactions with our website. The information collected will depend on the cookies enabled, the services used and your settings.

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements. Cookie information may be used for the purposes described in this policy, including operating and securing the website, providing requested services, improving functionality, measuring performance, preventing misuse and supporting lawful communications.

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes, legal obligations, dispute resolution, security and record-keeping. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected and any applicable requirements. When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted, de-identified or handled in another lawful way.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technologies, services, legal requirements or business practices. When we make a change, we may publish the revised version on this page and update the effective date or other page information where appropriate. Your continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, your privacy choices or the use of cookies on our website, please use the available contact or support channels shown on the website. We will handle enquiries in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable requirements. This policy is general information and does not limit any rights or obligations that apply under Australian law.
