Cookies Policy | Instant Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support a more consistent browsing experience. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of a browsing session, while others remain on your device for a longer period or until they are deleted.

Instant Casino may use cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and related technologies. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as cookies unless a distinction is necessary. The exact cookies used may change over time as the website, security measures, products and services develop.

Cookies do not usually identify you by name on their own. They may be linked with information connected to your device, browser, account, activity or preferences. When information collected through cookies is combined with other information that identifies you, it may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy laws. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is generally handled.

Why cookies are used

To make the website function correctly and provide requested features.
To remember settings, preferences and information entered during a visit.
To support account access, authentication and session management where applicable.
To help protect accounts, transactions, games and the website from fraud, abuse and unauthorised activity.
To understand how visitors use the website and identify technical problems.
To improve website content, navigation, performance and accessibility.
To support marketing, advertising or promotional activity where permitted and where the relevant settings or consent requirements apply.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for core website functions. They may support page navigation, security controls, account sessions, responsible access controls, fraud prevention and other services you request. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not operate properly. Because they are necessary for the operation or security of the website, they may not be removable through every preference tool. You can still usually block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent access to some features or services.

Functional and preference cookies

Functional cookies help remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. They can make future visits more convenient and reduce the need to repeat information. If you disable these cookies, the website may continue to work, but some preferences may not be saved and certain features may be less personalised.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may provide information about pages visited, links selected, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, approximate location and technical performance. This information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to improve content, usability, reliability and website performance. Analytics providers may process information on our behalf or under their own privacy terms, subject to applicable requirements.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand which content is relevant and help present promotional material across websites or services. These cookies may involve third-party providers and may allow activity to be linked across different websites or devices. They will be used only where permitted by applicable law and according to the choices or consent mechanisms made available to you.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third parties that provide services used on the website, such as security, analytics, payment support, customer assistance, content delivery or advertising tools. These providers may collect information in accordance with their own privacy notices. We do not control every aspect of third-party processing, so you should review the relevant third-party information when it is available.

Your cookie choices

Where required, we will ask for consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You may be able to accept all cookies, reject optional cookies or select individual categories through the cookie banner or preference centre provided on the website. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember them. If you clear your cookies, change device or use another browser, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. Browser controls differ, so you should consult the help section for your browser or device. You may also be able to manage certain advertising preferences through tools provided by advertising networks or industry organisations.

Blocking all cookies may affect website access, account functions, game features, security checks or other services.
Deleting cookies does not necessarily delete information already collected or held in an account or business record.
Changing cookie settings on one browser or device may not apply to other browsers or devices.
Some technologies may continue to operate in a limited way even when ordinary browser cookies are blocked.
If you withdraw consent, we will take reasonable steps to stop using optional cookies for future activity, but information collected before the change may still be retained where permitted or required.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers and devices offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is no single industry standard for responding to these signals, the website may not respond to every Do Not Track request. We will continue to follow applicable privacy and electronic communications requirements and any controls made available through the website.

Privacy, security and updates

Information collected through cookies may be used for purposes described in this policy, our Privacy Policy, our Terms and Conditions and other relevant notices. Depending on the purpose, information may be used to provide services, maintain security, meet legal and regulatory obligations, prevent fraud, investigate suspicious activity, improve the website, manage communications and understand service usage.

We take reasonable steps to protect information against misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use suitable security measures on your devices, keep account credentials confidential and log out when using a shared device.

Cookies may be processed in Australia or in other countries by service providers supporting the website. Where information is transferred or accessed across borders, handling will be subject to applicable privacy requirements and the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of cookie, its purpose, legal obligations and operational requirements.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, website functions, legal requirements, service providers or our practices. The updated version will be made available on this page, with the revised date or other notice where appropriate. You should check this page periodically to remain informed about how cookies are used.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, your cookie choices or the handling of personal information, please use the contact or support options made available on the Instant Casino website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an enquiry. If you are concerned about gambling activity, please also review the responsible gambling information and support options provided on the website.
