Our Cookie Policy
This page explains every cookie that casinado-au.com may place on your device, why it exists, how long it stays, and what you can switch off. We keep it plain on purpose: no legal padding, just the facts you need before you play.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit. Each file holds a few pieces of data, such as a session identifier or a language choice, and gets sent back to us (or to the partner that created it) on your next visit.
Without cookies, we would not remember that you logged in, that you picked AUD as your currency, or which page of the lobby you were browsing. With them, your 5,000-game library loads exactly where you left it. Similar technologies we use include local storage and pixels, and everything in this policy applies to them too.
Cookies do not read files on your device, and they cannot access anything you have not given us through the site. They only carry the data we or our partners put into them in the first place.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and keep your account safe. They maintain your login session, protect our deposit and withdrawal forms against cross-site request forgery, and remember which region you are connecting from so we can apply the right limits, including the 8,000 AUD daily withdrawal cap. Necessary cookies cannot be switched off from our banner because the site would not function without them; your browser settings still apply.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices rather than your identity. When you set English as your language, AUD as your display currency, or mute the lobby sounds, a functional cookie stores that so you do not configure the site again next visit.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site: which lobby filters get used, where pages load slowly, which deposit flows people abandon. The data is aggregated, so nothing in our analytics reports identifies you personally. It tells us what to fix, not who you are.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support the promotions you see, including the 100% up to 800 AUD welcome bonus with 200 free spins, weekly 15% cashback and weekend reloads. They help measure whether a campaign reached players who found it useful, and they limit how often you see the same ad. If you reject marketing cookies, your bonuses and game access stay exactly the same; you will simply see less relevant, less frequent advertising elsewhere on the web.

Third Party Cookies We Allow
Some cookies on our pages are set by partners we work with, not by us. We allow three categories of them, and each partner gets access only to the data it needs for its job.
Analytics providers help us count visits and spot technical problems. Their cookies collect IP-derived region, device type and pages viewed, all in aggregated form. Ad networks serve and measure the campaigns that fund our promotions, including the retargeting that reminds you about an unfinished registration. Payment providers set their own technical cookies when you open a deposit or withdrawal window, because security protocols such as 3-D Secure depend on them to verify your Visa, Mastercard or e-wallet transaction.
We do not sell the data these partners collect, and we do not let them use it for purposes we have not listed here. When a partner changes what its cookies do, we review that change before the cookie stays on our site.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
On our site
The first time you land on casinado-au.com, our banner asks you to accept all cookies or reject everything except the strictly necessary ones. There is a third option, Cookie Settings, where you tick or untick functional, analytics and marketing individually. You can reopen that panel anytime by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the site footer, and your new choice takes effect immediately.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies outright, which overrides whatever you told our banner. Here is where the setting lives in each one.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies (or Cookies on older versions).
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or prevent cross-site tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Enhanced Tracking Protection with a Strict option.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, where you can block third-party cookies.
What blocking changes
Block everything and the trade-offs are concrete: you will need to log in again on every visit, your currency and language choices reset, some deposit windows may fail their security check, and the lobby will not remember your favourite filters. Your account, balance and bonuses are never affected, and you can withdraw your funds under the same up to 2 day processing time either way. Blocking marketing cookies changes nothing on our site at all.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Every cookie on our site has an expiry, and none of them outlive their purpose. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a fixed period, after which your device deletes them automatically. The table below is the full picture, and deleting cookies manually at any time works the same as waiting for expiry.
If you withdraw consent through our banner, we delete the analytics and marketing cookies covered by that consent right away. Necessary cookies remain until they expire or you clear them yourself, because they run the site.
| Category | Persistence | Reason for the timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session to 30 days | Keeps you logged in and secure without re-authenticating constantly |
| Functional | Up to 90 days | Holds your language, currency and display choices between visits |
| Analytics | Up to 365 days | Lets us compare behaviour across long periods to spot real trends |
| Marketing | Up to 180 days | Standard ad measurement and frequency window |
Changes to This Policy
When we add a new cookie, change a partner or adjust a retention period, we update this page and note the change date at the top of it. If a change is significant, we also show the consent banner again on your next visit so you can make a fresh choice before the new cookies load. Questions about anything here go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], answered around the clock by the same team that runs our 24/7 live chat.
Frequently asked questions
Do cookies affect my welcome bonus or withdrawals?
No. Rejecting optional cookies has no impact on your 100% up to 800 AUD welcome bonus, your 200 free spins, weekly 15% cashback or your withdrawal limits of 8,000 AUD per day and 30,000 AUD per month.
Can I change my mind after clicking accept?
Yes. Open Cookie Settings from the site footer anytime and adjust or withdraw your consent for functional, analytics and marketing cookies. Your new choice applies immediately.
Why can't I refuse strictly necessary cookies?
They run the login session, payment security and fraud protection the site depends on. Without them, deposits, withdrawals and account access would not work. You can still block them in your browser, though parts of the site will break.
Do you use cookies to identify me personally?
Analytics cookies collect aggregated behaviour only, and marketing cookies work through ad identifiers rather than your name or account details. We never sell cookie data to anyone.
