Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your browser or device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you, although information associated with a cookie may sometimes be linked with personal information held by us.

We may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and software development kits. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a different meaning is clear from the context.

Cookies may be set by Vegastars Casino or by third-party service providers acting on our behalf or providing services used on our website. Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are commonly called session cookies. Other cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. These are commonly called persistent cookies.

Cookies may be used for several purposes. The cookies used on a particular page or service can vary, and not every cookie will be used for every visitor. Depending on the website features available to you, cookies may help us to:

• Operate, maintain and secure the website and its core functions.
• Remember information you provide, such as selected preferences or settings.
• Keep you signed in during a browsing session where this feature is available.
• Support account registration, login, verification and other account-related processes.
• Remember items, selections or steps within an online service or transaction.
• Understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed and how visitors move between pages.
• Identify errors, diagnose technical issues and improve website performance.
• Help prevent fraud, misuse, unauthorised access and other activity that may breach applicable terms.
• Measure the effectiveness of website content, campaigns and communications.
• Present information or advertising that may be more relevant to your interests, where this is permitted and applicable.
• Meet legal, regulatory, security and operational requirements.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. If these cookies are disabled, certain features may not work correctly, and some services may be unavailable. Other cookies are optional and may be used to improve your experience, analyse website use or support marketing activities.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed to provide services you request and to enable essential website functions. They may support security, navigation, account access, session management and the proper operation of pages. Because these cookies are necessary, they may not be removable through every preference tool. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may affect how the website works.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide a more convenient experience. For example, they may remember language, display or other preferences where such options are available. If you refuse these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and you may need to make the same selections again.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may provide information about visits, page views, referral sources, device types, general location information and technical performance. We use this information in aggregated or otherwise appropriate ways to assess and improve the website, content and user experience.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand visits from marketing channels or show content that may be relevant to you. These cookies may be placed by us or by third-party providers. Refusing them may not remove all advertising, but it may make advertising less relevant to your interests.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to help protect accounts, services and users. These technologies can assist with detecting unusual activity, identifying automated or abusive behaviour, supporting verification processes and protecting the website from security threats. Information collected for these purposes may be combined with other technical or account information where appropriate.

Some parts of the website may use services supplied by third parties. These providers may set or access cookies and similar technologies on our behalf, or may collect information under their own privacy terms. Examples may include website analytics, security, hosting, performance, customer support, payment-related functionality or advertising services, depending on the features available on the website.

Third-party services may process technical information such as your browser type, device information, approximate location, IP address, pages visited, interaction details and referral information. Their use of information may be governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review the information provided by any third-party service before using associated features.

We do not control every cookie that may be placed by third parties, and the technologies used may change over time. We may update this policy or our cookie preference information when services, website features or legal requirements change.

You may be able to manage optional cookies through a cookie banner, preference centre or similar tool displayed on the website. If a preference tool is available, it may allow you to accept or reject categories of optional cookies. Your selections may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember them. If you clear your browser data, use a different browser or use a different device, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. The method differs between browsers and devices, so you should check the help or settings menu for the browser you use. You may also be able to receive a notification before a cookie is placed.

1. Open your browser settings or privacy controls.
2. Review the available cookie, site-data or tracking options.
3. Choose whether to allow, block, restrict or delete cookies.
4. Repeat the process for each browser or device you use to access the website.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect website functionality. You may be unable to access some account features, preferences may not be retained, and certain pages may not operate as intended. Disabling cookies does not necessarily prevent all forms of information collection, because some functions may use other technical methods or rely on information provided directly by your device or browser.

Where applicable, you may also be able to control interest-based advertising through settings provided by your device, browser or relevant advertising service. These controls may not apply to all providers or all devices, and changing an advertising preference does not necessarily stop all advertising.

Information collected through cookies may be personal information under applicable Australian privacy law, depending on the information and how it is used. Our Privacy Policy explains more about how we collect, use, disclose, store and protect personal information, and how you may exercise applicable privacy rights. If there is a conflict between this policy and the Privacy Policy about the handling of personal information, the Privacy Policy will generally provide the more detailed explanation.

Vegastars Casino is intended for people who are legally permitted to use online gambling services in their location. Cookies may support security, account management and responsible gambling tools, but they do not replace your responsibility to use gambling services carefully and within your means. If you choose to block cookies, important account, security or responsible gambling features may be affected.

We may revise this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technology, services, legal obligations or business practices. When we make a change, we will publish the updated version on this page and update the date or other notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the website after an updated policy is published may indicate that you have read the revised policy.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or wish to make a privacy-related request, please use the contact or support options made available on the website. We will handle requests in accordance with applicable requirements and may need to verify your identity before responding.
