Cookies Policy | Uptown Pokies Casino

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise a device or remember information about a visit. Cookies can make websites work more efficiently, help maintain security and provide information about how visitors use online services.

Some cookies are placed directly by Uptown Pokies Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other online features. These third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and applicable requirements.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active can vary depending on its purpose and the settings of the relevant service.

The website may also use related technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage or similar tools. These technologies may collect information about a device, browser, visit or interaction with online content. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and similar technologies together as cookies.

2. How cookies may be used

Uptown Pokies Casino may use cookies for several purposes. The particular cookies used may change as the website, services, technology or legal requirements develop. Cookies may be used whether or not you create an account, although the information collected and the functions available can depend on how you interact with the website.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support the basic operation of the website and cannot normally be switched off through the website’s cookie controls. They may help with page navigation, session management, account access, security checks, fraud prevention and the delivery of requested features. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly or securely.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. They can help provide a more consistent and convenient experience. If you reject or delete these cookies, you may need to enter certain preferences again and some features may not operate in the same way.

Performance and analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website. They can provide information such as which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the website, whether pages load correctly and where improvements may be useful. This information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to monitor performance and improve content, usability and reliability.

Security and compliance cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to help protect the website, accounts and users. They may assist with detecting unusual activity, preventing misuse, supporting identity or access checks and meeting legal, regulatory or operational obligations. These technologies may be important for maintaining a safer online gaming environment.

Marketing or preference cookies

Where permitted and where relevant consent has been provided, cookies may be used to remember advertising or communication preferences, measure the effectiveness of campaigns or show content that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies are not required for the basic operation of the website. Availability and use may depend on your browser settings, consent choices and applicable Australian privacy and advertising requirements.

3. Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where available, this tool allows you to accept optional cookies, reject them or adjust categories according to your preferences. Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are needed to provide requested website functions and maintain security.

You can also manage cookies through your internet browser. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or limit cookies. Browser controls differ, so you should check the help or settings area of your chosen browser for instructions. You may be able to block all cookies, receive a notification before a cookie is stored or remove cookies after each browsing session.

If you disable or delete cookies, some website functions may be unavailable, may not operate as intended or may require you to repeat actions. For example, account sessions, preferences, security features or other requested services may be affected. Blocking cookies does not necessarily delete information already collected under the Privacy Policy or prevent all forms of technical data collection.

Use the website’s cookie preference controls, where provided.
Adjust cookie and privacy settings in your browser or device.
Delete existing cookies from your device if you no longer want them stored.
Review the settings of any third-party services used through the website.
Remember that cookie choices may need to be repeated on different browsers or devices.

Your choices about cookies do not replace your responsibility to use the website lawfully and safely. If you use online gaming services, you should also review the available responsible gambling information and use any account, spending or access controls that may be offered.

4. Privacy, third parties and policy updates

Information collected through cookies may include technical details such as an internet protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, approximate location, referral information, dates and times of visits, and interactions with website content. The information collected will depend on the cookie, your device, your settings and how you use the website.

Cookie information may be combined with other information where permitted and where necessary for website operation, security, service delivery, analytics, compliance or other purposes described in the Privacy Policy. Information may be accessed by authorised staff, contractors, technology providers and other service providers that assist with operating or protecting the website. Access should be limited to what is reasonably required for the relevant purpose.

Some third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies independently. Uptown Pokies Casino does not control every cookie used by external websites or services. You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by those third parties before using their services or choosing to allow their technologies.

This policy does not describe every setting available on every browser or device. Browser manufacturers and technology providers may change their controls, functions or privacy practices. You should keep your browser and device software up to date and use security settings that are appropriate for your circumstances.

This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, cookies, service providers, technology, business practices or legal requirements. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should review this page periodically so you remain informed about how cookies may be used.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or wish to raise a privacy concern, use the available support or privacy contact options provided on the website. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an initial enquiry. Requests may be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, verification requirements and the Privacy Policy.
