Cookies Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They contain information that can be read by the website or by an authorised service provider when you return. Some cookies last only for the duration of your browsing session and are removed when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a longer period, subject to their purpose and the settings applied to them.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage and software development tools. These technologies can perform functions that are similar to cookies, such as recognising a device, recording activity, remembering preferences or measuring whether a communication has been viewed. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless we state otherwise.

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

The cookies used on a website can change as services, features, security requirements and technology develop. We may update this policy from time to time so that it remains an accurate explanation of our approach. The latest version will be made available on the website.

Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies are generally temporary. They may help maintain your connection while you move between pages or use a particular website feature, and they are normally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. They can help remember settings or recognise a returning browser, subject to your choices and browser controls.

A cookie may be set by the website you are visiting, or by an authorised third party providing a service for that website. The type, duration and purpose of a cookie can vary. A cookie does not give us access to other files on your device and cannot usually perform actions outside its intended technical function.

Why cookies may be used

Squeenaud Casino may use cookies for several different purposes. The precise cookies used may depend on the website features you access, the device and browser you use, your cookie choices and the services available at the relevant time. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others help us improve, secure or personalise the service.

Essential and operational cookies

Essential cookies support functions that are required for the website to work as intended. They may help with account access, session management, page navigation, load balancing, fraud prevention, security checks and the delivery of requested services. Without these cookies, some website functions may not work correctly or may not be available.

Operational cookies may also remember choices you make during a visit, such as language, region, display preferences or cookie settings. These cookies are intended to make the website more consistent and easier to use. They do not necessarily identify you personally, but they may be connected with information used to provide a secure and functional experience.

Performance and analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website. They can provide information about pages visited, links selected, time spent on a page, errors encountered and general navigation patterns. This information may be combined into statistical reports so we can identify technical issues, assess performance and improve the design, content and usability of the website.

Analytics information is generally used in an aggregated or otherwise limited form. It may help us understand which features are useful and where visitors may need clearer information. These cookies are not intended to provide a reason to make decisions about you based solely on your browsing activity.

Preference and functionality cookies

Functionality cookies may remember settings or preferences so that you do not need to enter them repeatedly. They can help provide a more convenient experience, for example by remembering how certain content is displayed or which options you have selected. If you reject these cookies, some convenience features may not operate in the same way.

Security and compliance cookies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to help detect unusual activity, protect accounts, limit automated or harmful traffic, support identity and security processes, and investigate suspected misuse of the website. They may also assist with maintaining records of important choices, permissions and website interactions where this is necessary for security, compliance or the proper administration of the service.

Communications and service improvement

We may use cookies or similar tools to understand whether website communications have been viewed, whether links have been selected and whether information is useful to visitors. This can help us improve notices, support materials and website content. The use of these technologies may depend on the communication, your choices and the technical features available at the relevant time.

Third-party cookies and similar technologies

Some cookies may be placed by service providers that support website hosting, analytics, security, communications, payment-related functionality, customer support or other technical services. These providers may process information on our behalf or operate independently under their own privacy arrangements. Their use of cookies is subject to the relevant service terms and privacy information.

Third-party technologies may collect information such as your device type, browser details, approximate location, referring page, the pages you visit and interactions with website features. The information collected depends on the technology and how it is configured. We do not use this policy to describe every technology operated by another organisation, so you should review the provider's information where appropriate.

We may also use cookies or similar tools to understand the effectiveness of website communications or promotional activity. This does not mean that every visitor will receive personalised advertising or that every available technology is used on every page. The tools available to us may vary according to your choices, the website area visited and legal or operational requirements.

Where required, we will seek consent before using non-essential cookies. You can change your choices through the cookie controls made available on the website or through your browser. Withdrawing consent does not generally affect processing that took place before your preference was changed, and it may not remove information already held by a third party. You may need to contact that provider directly if you want to exercise a choice in relation to its services.

We do not authorise third parties to use cookies for purposes that are inconsistent with the services they provide to us. However, third-party websites, applications and services may have their own practices. We recommend checking the relevant third-party privacy notices before using an external service or selecting a link that takes you away from the Squeenaud Casino website.

Links to external services

The website may contain links, content or features supplied by external organisations. When you use an external service, that organisation may collect information through its own cookies or technologies. Squeenaud Casino does not control the cookie practices of websites that are not operated by us. You should read the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant organisation before continuing.

Your cookie choices

When available, the website cookie settings tool allows you to accept, reject or manage categories of non-essential cookies. Your choices may be stored in a cookie or similar technology so that the website can remember your preference. If you use a different browser, device or browser profile, you may need to set your choices again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block some or all cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is placed. Browser controls vary, so you should refer to the help section of your browser for instructions.

• Blocking all cookies may prevent you from signing in, maintaining a secure session or using certain website features.
• Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to repeat choices or enter information again.
• Blocking a cookie does not always prevent other technologies from being used for essential security or operational purposes.
• Your settings may not apply to cookies placed by websites or services that are not controlled by Squeenaud Casino.
• If you decline optional cookies, you can generally continue to browse the website, although some functions or content may be less convenient.
• Cookie controls may not operate in the same way on every device, browser or version of the website.
• If you clear your browser storage, the website may no longer remember your previous cookie preference.

Cookie choices are separate from marketing or account communication preferences. Changing cookie settings may limit certain measurement or personalisation activities, but it may not automatically unsubscribe you from communications or change other preferences. Use the relevant settings or instructions provided for those services.

For a more complete explanation of how personal information may be collected, used, stored or disclosed, please read the Squeenaud Casino Privacy Policy. That policy also explains the choices and rights that may be available to you under applicable privacy laws.

Managing cookies on shared devices

If you use a shared computer or device, other people may be able to view or change the cookie settings stored in the browser. You should consider the privacy of your browsing activity and use the available browser controls appropriately. You should also sign out of your account when you finish using a shared device and avoid saving account information in a browser that other people can access.

Updates and questions about this policy

We may revise this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, service providers or legal obligations change. The latest version will be made available on the website and will apply from the date shown with the updated policy, unless a different effective date is stated. If a change is significant, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.

You should review this page occasionally to stay informed about how cookies may be used. Continuing to use the website after an updated policy is published does not by itself mean that optional cookies will be placed where consent is required. Your cookie choices will continue to be handled through the controls and settings made available to you.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or want to understand how to manage your preferences, please use the support or privacy channels available through the website. We may need enough information to understand your request, but you should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive or account information through an unsecured channel.

This policy is intended as general information for visitors and players in Australia. It does not replace any applicable website terms, privacy notice, responsible gambling information or legal requirement. If there is an inconsistency between this policy and a specific notice presented when you use a website feature, the more specific notice may explain how that feature operates.

Information about consent

Where consent is required for a particular cookie or technology, you may be asked to provide that consent before the technology is used. You may withdraw or change consent through the available preference controls, subject to technical limitations. Some essential cookies may continue to operate because they are needed to provide a service you request, maintain security or comply with applicable obligations.

A change to your cookie settings may take effect after the relevant page is refreshed, your browser session changes or the website updates its preference record. If a setting does not appear to work, you may need to clear stored preferences, check your browser permissions or use the support channels available through the website.
