Cookies Policy

About cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support features that may make the website easier to use. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, although cookie-related data may sometimes be linked with information held about your account or visit.

88 Casino may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, software development kits and related technologies. These technologies may collect information about your device, browser, website activity, preferences and interactions with online content. The information collected depends on the technology used, the pages or services accessed and the settings applied to your device or browser.

Cookies can be set by 88 Casino or by approved service providers that support the operation, security, performance or measurement of the website. Some cookies may remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are generally known as session cookies. Other cookies may remain for a longer period or until you remove them. These are generally known as persistent cookies.

Why cookies are used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for a range of legitimate website purposes. The particular cookies in use may change over time as the website, technology providers and online services develop. In general, cookies may help 88 Casino to:

• keep the website available and allow pages, account areas and other features to function properly.
• remember preferences, choices and information entered during a visit.
• support account sign-in, session management and other security controls.
• help protect the website and users from suspicious, fraudulent or unauthorised activity.
• understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited and how features perform.
• identify technical errors, improve loading times and maintain website reliability.
• provide content and online experiences that are more relevant to a user’s settings or interactions.
• measure the effectiveness of website communications, promotions or other digital activities where permitted.

Cookies may also help maintain the continuity of a visit. For example, they may allow a website to remember that you have completed a particular step, selected a preference or moved between pages. This can reduce the need to repeat information and can help ensure that requested features work consistently.

Types of cookies we may use

The categories below describe the main types of cookies that may be used on an online gambling website. A cookie may fall into more than one category, and not every category will be used on every page or device. The availability and operation of particular cookies may depend on your consent choices, browser settings, account status and the features you use.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support core website functions. They may be needed to keep a session active, process navigation, maintain security, remember privacy choices or provide access to areas that you have requested. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly. Because they are important to the delivery of requested online services, they may not always be able to be disabled through a cookie preference tool. You can still use browser controls to remove or block them, but doing so may affect website functionality.

Performance and analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how the website is used. They may collect information such as the pages viewed, the time spent on a page, links selected, general device information and whether an error occurred. This information is generally used in an aggregated or otherwise controlled form to monitor performance, identify areas for improvement and make the website easier to use.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For example, they may remember language, display or preference settings, or help maintain a consistent experience during a visit. If you refuse or remove these cookies, some preferences may need to be entered again and certain features may not operate as expected.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where permitted and where applicable, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure online campaigns, limit repeated content, understand interactions with promotional material or present content that is more relevant to your interests. These cookies may be placed by 88 Casino or by third-party service providers acting on its behalf. They are not intended to override your privacy choices or the requirements that apply to gambling advertising and communications.

Security, fraud prevention and compliance technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may also be used to support security, identity checks, fraud prevention, responsible access controls and compliance processes. These technologies can help detect unusual behaviour, protect accounts and maintain the integrity of online services. Their use may involve device, network or activity information and will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and the website’s Privacy Policy.

Managing your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, this tool allows you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or choose particular categories. Your choices may be stored so that they can be applied during later visits. If you clear your browser storage, use another device or open a different browser, 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 stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites, block third-party cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. The process differs between browsers and devices, so you may need to consult the relevant settings or help information.

• Blocking all cookies may prevent account, security or other essential functions from working properly.
• Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and sign you out of online services.
• Blocking third-party cookies may affect embedded content, measurement tools or services provided by external platforms.
• Cookie controls may need to be applied separately on each browser and device that you use.
• Turning off cookies does not necessarily remove all information collected before the setting was changed.
• Some website features may respond differently depending on the browser, device or privacy settings you have selected.

Some online services may use controls supplied by third parties. These controls are subject to the relevant provider’s own technology and privacy practices. Adjusting a browser setting may not affect other technologies, such as certain pixels or device-based identifiers, and may not prevent all forms of online measurement. Where a separate choice mechanism is provided, that mechanism should be used to manage the relevant option.

Consent and essential technologies

Where consent is required, 88 Casino will seek it for optional cookies and similar technologies through an appropriate notice or preference tool. You may withdraw or change an optional cookie choice where a suitable control is available. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the change and does not necessarily apply to essential technologies that are required to provide a service, maintain security or comply with legal obligations.

If you choose not to accept optional cookies, you should still be able to access core areas of the website, although some content, preferences or features may be less personalised. If a cookie is essential to a requested function, refusing it may mean that the function cannot be provided.

Third parties, privacy and policy updates

88 Casino may use selected third-party providers to help operate, secure, analyse or improve its website and online services. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies under instructions from 88 Casino, or may process information under their own terms where they provide an independent service. Third-party technologies can change, and their cookies may be subject to privacy policies published by those providers.

Cookie information may be combined with other information, such as account details, device information or website activity, where this is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy or the Privacy Policy. Information may be used to maintain services, improve the online experience, protect users and the business, meet responsible gambling and compliance obligations, resolve technical issues and respond to lawful requests.

88 Casino aims to handle personal information in a manner consistent with applicable Australian privacy requirements. The Privacy Policy contains further information about the types of personal information that may be collected, how it may be used and disclosed, how information may be stored and protected, and the choices or rights that may be available to you. If this Cookies Policy conflicts with the Privacy Policy on the handling of personal information, the Privacy Policy will apply to that issue.

Information security and retention

Cookie-related information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain records, resolve disputes, protect the website, meet compliance obligations or support legitimate business requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the technology involved and the reason it is being processed.

Reasonable safeguards may be used to protect information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or loss. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should keep your account credentials confidential and avoid sending passwords, payment details or other sensitive information through unsecured channels.

Changes to this policy

This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technology, service providers, legal requirements or privacy practices. The current version will be made available on the website and may show the date or other indication of when it was last reviewed. You should check this page periodically so that you remain aware of how cookies and similar technologies may be used.

Questions and concerns

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, your cookie preferences or the handling of information through cookies, please use the available support or privacy contact process provided on the website. When making an enquiry, avoid sending passwords, payment details or other sensitive information unless it is specifically requested through a secure channel. We may need to verify your identity before dealing with a request about personal information or account-related data.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing any applicable cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used in accordance with your selections, this Cookies Policy and the Privacy Policy. You can change your preferences at any time through the available controls or your browser and device settings.
