Cookies Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting, which are known as first-party cookies, or by another service provider working with the website, which are known as third-party cookies.

Cookies can be temporary or persistent. Session cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open or until the session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its purpose and the settings used by the relevant service.

We may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, the term cookies includes these similar technologies unless a distinction is required.

Why cookies matter

Cookies help websites function consistently and securely. They can remember selected settings, support account and session features, help identify unusual activity and provide information about how visitors use a website. Some cookies are essential for the website to operate, while others help improve performance, understand usage or deliver more relevant communications.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with information you provide when using an account or contacting us. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

2. The types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on the Cobber Casino website may vary depending on the pages and services you use, the technologies supporting the website and the choices available in your browser or cookie settings. The main categories are set out below.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support account sign-in, session management, navigation, security checks, fraud prevention, responsible access controls and the operation of requested features. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not work correctly or may not be available.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. They can make repeat visits more convenient and help provide a more consistent experience. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be remembered and you may need to enter them again.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the website and whether links or features work as intended. The information is generally analysed in aggregate to improve design, content, speed, reliability and usability. These cookies may be provided by service providers acting on our behalf.

Security and risk-management technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to help protect accounts and services from unauthorised access, automated misuse, payment or identity fraud and other security risks. These tools may collect information about a device, browser, network connection or patterns of activity. This information may be assessed to support the security and integrity of the website.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand the effectiveness of promotional content or present information that is more relevant to your interests. Third-party providers may place these cookies when their content or services are included on the website. You can often control these cookies through a consent tool or your browser settings.

3. How we use cookie information

Information collected through cookies may be used for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain and secure the website and its features.
• To keep you signed in during an active session where this feature is available.
• To remember preferences and improve the way pages and services are displayed.
• To detect, investigate and help prevent fraud, abuse, account compromise and other harmful activity.
• To monitor website performance, diagnose technical problems and maintain reliable services.
• To understand general visitor behaviour and improve content, navigation and functionality.
• To measure the performance of communications, advertising and promotional activity where applicable.
• To comply with legal, regulatory, security and operational requirements.

We may combine cookie information with other information held about you where this is necessary for the purposes described in this policy, our Privacy Policy or the terms that govern your use of the website. We do not use cookies to avoid or replace required identity, age, account, security or responsible gambling checks. Those checks may require additional information and processes.

Some cookies may be set by third-party services, such as website analytics, security, content delivery or advertising providers. These providers may process information under their own privacy policies. We take reasonable steps to use appropriate providers and to manage information in a manner consistent with applicable obligations, but third-party services may have their own cookie controls and settings.

Information and device data

Depending on the cookie or technology involved, information may include an online identifier, device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, referral source, dates and times of visits, interaction with website features and security-related signals. The information collected will depend on how you use the website and the choices you make about optional cookies.

4. Managing cookies and your choices

You can manage cookies in several ways. If the website provides a cookie banner or settings tool, you can use it to accept, reject or adjust optional cookie categories. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember them. If you clear your cookies, change devices or use a different browser, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also use your browser settings to block, delete or restrict cookies. Most browsers provide controls that allow you to review stored cookies, prevent some or all cookies from being set, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored. Browser instructions differ, so you should refer to the help or privacy settings for your browser and device.

Disabling optional cookies may not materially affect your use of the website. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent important functions from working, including account access, security processes or requested services. If you block cookies generally, certain pages may load incorrectly or you may be asked to repeat information.

Cookie controls do not necessarily remove information already collected or stop all forms of online tracking. Separate controls may apply to mobile devices, applications, third-party services and advertising platforms. Where available, you should use the relevant service’s privacy or advertising settings as well as your browser controls.

Children and age-restricted services

Cobber Casino services are intended for people who are legally permitted to access and use online gambling services in their location. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from children for gambling purposes. If you believe that a child has provided information through the website, please use the available support channel so the matter can be reviewed.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, services, legal obligations or privacy practices change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date where appropriate. You should review the policy periodically to understand how cookies are used and how you can manage your choices.

Questions and privacy requests

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, wish to understand how information is handled or want to make a privacy-related request, please use the contact or support options made available on the Cobber Casino website. Requests may be subject to verification and any limits or procedures permitted by applicable law. Our Privacy Policy contains further information about privacy rights, information handling and how to raise a concern.
