Cookies Policy | Locowin Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit. A cookie allows the website to recognise a device or remember information about a visit. Cookies can help a website work properly, provide security, remember preferences and show how visitors use different pages.

Some cookies are placed by the website you are visiting. These are commonly called first-party cookies. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website functions, analytics, security, advertising or other services. These are commonly called third-party cookies. A cookie may remain on your device until it expires or is deleted, or it may be removed when you close your browser.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, such as your name or contact details. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information held about you where this is permitted by law and necessary for the relevant purpose. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers, may work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy where relevant.

By continuing to use the website, you may allow cookies to be used in accordance with your selected preferences and this policy. Where consent is required, we will seek it through an appropriate notice or preference tool.

2. How Locowin Casino uses cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes. The types and purposes may change as the website, its features and supporting services develop. Cookies may be used to:

Enable essential website functions, including page navigation, account access and secure sessions.
Remember information about your choices, preferences, language settings or other settings.
Support identity, age and account verification processes where these are required.
Help protect the website, accounts and transactions against fraud, misuse, automated activity and other security risks.
Maintain the stability, performance and availability of the website.
Understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed and whether links or features are used.
Measure the effectiveness of website content, communications and promotional activity.
Provide relevant content or advertising where this is permitted and appropriate.
Detect technical errors and help us investigate and resolve problems.
Compile statistical information in a form that may be aggregated or otherwise used for reporting and service improvement.

Information collected through cookies may include your device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, IP address, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring website, actions taken and information about how you interact with the website. We use this information in accordance with applicable privacy and gambling requirements.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for core website functions. They may allow you to move between pages, sign in, use account features, complete security checks and maintain a secure connection. If these cookies are blocked, some parts of the website may not work correctly. Essential cookies are generally used on the basis that they are needed to provide a service you have requested or to operate a secure and functional website.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as settings or display preferences. They can make future visits easier by reducing the need to enter the same information repeatedly. If you disable these cookies, the website may still operate, but some preferences may not be saved.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how the website is used and how well its features perform. They may provide information about visitor numbers, popular pages, navigation paths, loading times, errors and general usage patterns. We use these insights to improve design, content, accessibility, functionality and reliability. Where possible, analytics information is reviewed in an aggregated or de-identified form.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Marketing or advertising cookies may be used to understand interactions with promotional content, limit repeated advertising, measure campaigns or help deliver content that may be more relevant to you. These cookies may be provided by third parties. They are not used to remove the need for responsible gambling practices, and advertising activity remains subject to applicable laws, platform requirements and our internal controls.

3. Third-party services and sharing

We may use carefully selected service providers to help operate, secure, analyse or improve the website. These providers may process information collected through cookies or similar technologies on our behalf. Depending on the service, providers may support hosting, security, fraud prevention, analytics, customer support, communications, payment functions or website performance.

Third-party services may place their own cookies or use comparable technologies. Their use of information may be governed by their own privacy notices and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those notices where you interact with a third-party service. We do not authorise third parties to use information for purposes that are inconsistent with applicable requirements or our instructions, although independent third-party processing may be subject to that provider's own responsibilities.

Cookies may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect the rights or safety of users and the website, investigate suspected fraud or misuse, or support a corporate transaction. Any handling of personal information is subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian law.

International services

Some service providers may process information outside Australia. If information collected through cookies is transferred internationally, we take steps required by applicable privacy law to manage that transfer. The safeguards used may depend on the service, the country involved and the nature of the information.

4. Managing cookies

You can manage cookies through the cookie preference tool displayed on the website, where available. You can usually accept or decline certain categories of non-essential cookies and change your selection later. Your preferences may be stored on your device, so you may need to set them again if you use a different browser, device or private browsing session.

You can also use your browser settings to block, delete or restrict cookies. Most browsers provide information about cookies in their help or settings menus. You may be able to block all cookies, allow only certain cookies, delete cookies when the browser closes or receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience. Essential account, security or website functions may not operate properly, and some preferences may not be retained. Browser-based controls may not remove all similar technologies, and a choice made in one browser may not apply to other browsers or devices.

Some third-party providers offer their own controls for managing analytics or advertising technologies. These controls are separate from our website settings and may not prevent all forms of online advertising or measurement. You may also be able to manage certain advertising preferences through your device or operating system settings.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers and devices provide 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 preference. You can use the controls described in this section to manage cookies and similar technologies.

5. Retention, updates and contact

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted. Retention periods may vary according to the purpose of the cookie, technical requirements, security needs and applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, services, legal obligations or privacy practices change. The latest version will be made available on the website, with the effective date or other notice shown where appropriate. You should review this policy from time to time so you understand how cookies are used.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, your cookie preferences or the handling of personal information, please use the contact method made available on the Locowin Casino website. Do not send sensitive account, payment or identity information through an unsecured channel unless you have been asked to do so through an official support process.

This policy is intended to explain cookie use in clear terms. It does not override any applicable law, regulatory requirement, Privacy Policy, account terms or responsible gambling information. If there is an inconsistency, the applicable legal requirement and relevant governing terms will apply to the extent required.
