Cookies Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or another device when you visit. A cookie normally contains information that allows the website to recognise a browser or remember certain activity. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. Depending on the type of cookie and the information available to us, cookie data may sometimes be associated with other information held about your account, device or website activity.

We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These can include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other online identifiers. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

Cookies can be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are normally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The period for which a cookie remains may depend on its purpose, your browser settings and the service that places it.

Why cookies matter

Online gambling websites use cookies for important operational and security purposes. For example, cookies may help maintain a secure login session, remember the page you were viewing, support account functions and identify unusual activity. Other cookies help us understand which pages are useful, identify technical problems and improve the way information is presented.

2. How Pure Casino uses cookies

Pure Casino may use cookies for the following purposes. The cookies used at a particular time may depend on the features available on the website, your choices and the services used to operate the website.

• Strictly necessary cookies: These support core website functions, security controls, account access, navigation and other services that you request. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not operate properly.
• Functionality cookies: These remember choices or settings, such as language, region, display preferences or other options, so that your experience is more consistent when you return.
• Performance and analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited, how long pages take to load and where technical issues may occur. The information is generally used in an aggregated or statistical form.
• Security and fraud prevention cookies: These may help verify activity, protect accounts, detect automated or suspicious behaviour and support measures designed to protect the website, players and the integrity of our services.
• Preference cookies: These may remember choices relating to notices, cookie settings or other website preferences. If you remove them, you may be asked to make the same choice again.
• Advertising or measurement cookies: Where used, these may help measure the effectiveness of communications or present information that is more relevant to your interests. Their use may depend on your consent and available controls.

We do not use cookies to change the fundamental terms of a game, guarantee a result or influence the outcome of gambling activity. Gambling outcomes are determined by the relevant game systems and rules, not by cookies. Cookies may support access to the website and related services, but they do not create a right to participate where an account, age check, identity check, location check or other requirement has not been satisfied.

Information collected through cookies may be reviewed with other information for security, service improvement, legal compliance, responsible gambling support and account administration. We take care to handle information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

3. Third-party cookies and online services

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third parties that provide services on or through the website. These providers may support functions such as website hosting, security, analytics, customer support, payment-related processes, communications, fraud prevention or the delivery of content. A third party may process information in accordance with its own privacy information and terms.

Third-party services may change over time as website technology and business requirements develop. We take reasonable steps to use providers that are appropriate for the relevant service, but we do not control every aspect of a third party's systems. You should review the applicable third-party information where you want to understand how that provider uses cookies or similar technologies.

Links to external websites, applications or services may be available from the website. These services are not necessarily controlled by Pure Casino. When you leave the website or interact with an external service, the external provider's policies may apply. We recommend checking those policies before providing information or allowing cookies on another website.

Information that may be collected

Depending on the technology used, cookie-related information may include a device or browser identifier, approximate location derived from technical information, pages viewed, referral information, browser type, operating system, language, access times and interactions with website features. This information may be used to maintain sessions, prevent abuse, produce statistics, personalise basic settings and improve performance. Cookie information is not necessarily used to identify you directly, but it may be linked to an account or device where this is needed for security or functionality.

We do not ask cookies to replace responsible gambling safeguards. Account checks, age and identity verification, player protection measures and other controls may involve information and processes that are separate from cookies.

4. Managing cookies and your choices

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block some or all cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored. The way to do this varies between browsers and devices, so you may need to consult the relevant browser help materials.

1. Open your browser's privacy, security or site settings.
2. Review the available controls for cookies and website data.
3. Choose whether to allow, restrict, delete or block cookies.
4. Close and reopen your browser if required for the change to take effect.
5. Return to the website and review any available cookie preference controls.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience. Strictly necessary cookies may be required for login, account security, navigation, game access or other requested services. If these cookies are disabled, you may be unable to use some or all website features. Deleting preference cookies may also reset your choices, while removing security-related cookies may require additional verification.

Where a consent or cookie preference tool is available, you can use it to review choices for categories that are not strictly necessary. Your browser settings and the website's controls may work together, but changing one does not always change the other. You may need to make a separate choice on each device or browser that you use.

Privacy and data protection

Our use of cookie-related information is subject to our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, protected and disclosed, as well as how you may exercise applicable privacy rights. We may retain information for as long as reasonably required for the purposes described in our policies, including security, legal, regulatory, dispute resolution and record-keeping purposes.

If you believe that cookie-related information has been handled incorrectly, or if you have a question about this policy, please use the contact method made available on the website. Do not send sensitive account, payment or identity information through an unsecured communication channel unless you have been directed to do so.

5. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, service providers, legal obligations or cookie practices change. The updated version will be made available on this page and will apply from the date it is published, unless a different effective date is stated. We encourage you to review this page from time to time so that you understand the current position.

If a material change affects how non-essential cookies are used, we may provide an additional notice or request a new preference where required. Continuing to use the website after an updated policy is published may indicate that you have read the updated information. You can still manage available cookie choices through your browser and any preference controls provided on the website.

This policy is intended to provide general information about cookies used in connection with Pure Casino. It does not replace the website's Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, responsible gambling information or any other applicable notice. If there is an inconsistency between this policy and a specific legal or service notice, the relevant notice may apply to the subject it covers.
