Cookies Policy | Instant Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your computer, mobile device, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support a more consistent browsing experience. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, although information associated with a cookie may sometimes be linked with other personal information.

Instant Casino may also use technologies that operate in a similar way to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other tracking or analytics tools. In this policy, we use the term cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless we state otherwise.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting, known as first-party cookies, or by another organisation providing a service on the website, known as third-party cookies. The use of third-party technologies may be subject to the privacy or cookie policies of those organisations. We encourage you to review their information where appropriate.

Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are known as session cookies and are generally deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies and may help a website remember your preferences when you return.

Why cookies matter

Cookies can help us provide a functional, secure and user-friendly website. They may support account access, page navigation, security checks, language or display preferences, and the operation of website features. Cookies can also help us understand how visitors use the website so that we can identify technical issues and improve its content and performance.

Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on a website can vary according to the features available, the services being provided and the way the website is operated. Instant Casino may use the following general categories of cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may help with page loading, navigation, secure areas, session management, fraud prevention, responsible access controls and the delivery of services you request. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not operate correctly. Because they support essential functions, they may not be available for disabling through every preference tool.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make. For example, they may remember display settings, selected preferences or information needed to provide a feature that you have chosen to use. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be retained and certain features may be less convenient.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may provide information about pages visited, links used, loading performance, errors and general patterns of use. The information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to monitor performance, improve navigation and make the website more relevant and accessible.

Security and risk management technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to protect the website, accounts and users. They can assist with detecting unusual activity, preventing misuse, supporting authentication, managing sessions and reducing the risk of fraud. These technologies may collect information about a device, browser, connection, activity or interaction with the website.

Advertising or marketing cookies

Where permitted and relevant to the website, advertising or marketing technologies may be used to measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand the effectiveness of communications or show content that may be more relevant to a user. We do not use this policy to promise that any particular marketing technology will be used at all times. Availability and use may change as website features and services change.

Cookies may help us remember your preferences and maintain a consistent experience.
Analytics technologies may help us identify faults and improve website performance.
Security technologies may help protect users, accounts and the website from misuse.
Marketing technologies, where used, may help measure communications and advertising activity.
The exact cookies available may depend on the device, browser, website area and services you use.

Your choices and cookie controls

You may be able to control cookies through the cookie preference tool displayed on the website, your browser settings or the settings on your device. The options available can differ depending on the browser and device you use. You can usually choose to accept cookies, reject some categories, delete stored cookies or receive a notification before cookies are placed.

If you choose to block or delete cookies, you may still be able to browse parts of the website, but some features may not work as intended. You may need to re-enter preferences, sign in again or repeat certain steps. Blocking cookies may also affect website security, account functionality, loading performance or the availability of services.

Browser controls generally apply only to the browser or device where the setting is made. If you use more than one device or browser, you may need to update the settings on each one. Deleting cookies does not necessarily delete all information previously collected or stored by us or by third-party service providers. Other controls may be needed for those purposes.

Managing preferences responsibly

When selecting your cookie preferences, consider the effect on security and website functionality. Some cookies are required to support account-related features and protect the website. If the website offers a preference centre, the categories and choices shown there will provide the most relevant information for your visit. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember them. If you remove that cookie, the preference notice may appear again.

You may also be able to manage certain advertising preferences through tools provided by advertising or technology organisations. Those tools are separate from Instant Casino and may not control every cookie or technology used on our website. You should check the relevant organisation's information for details about its controls and practices.

Review the cookie notice or preference centre when you visit the website.
Choose which optional categories you wish to allow, where controls are available.
Use your browser or device settings to delete or restrict cookies if required.
Check your settings again after updating your browser, device or privacy preferences.
Contact us through the available website channel if you have a question about cookie settings.

Privacy, updates and further information

Information collected through cookies may be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Depending on the technology and the purpose for which it is used, information may include an internet protocol address, browser type, device information, operating system, general location information, pages viewed, links selected, dates and times of visits, and interactions with website features. We seek to use information for legitimate website, security, service, compliance and improvement purposes, consistent with applicable requirements.

Cookies may be provided by service providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, performance, communications or other functions. Those providers may process information on our behalf or for their own purposes, subject to their applicable terms and privacy information. We do not use this page to provide a complete list of every provider or cookie, because the technologies in use may change and may differ between parts of the website.

Instant Casino may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. An update may be needed because of changes to the website, the technologies used, legal or regulatory requirements, or the way services are provided. When changes are made, the updated version will be made available on the website and will show the relevant update date where appropriate. You should review this policy periodically so that you remain informed.

This policy is intended as general information for visitors and users in Australia. It does not override any applicable law, binding website terms, account terms, privacy notice or responsible gambling information. If there is a difference between this policy and a specific notice presented when you use a particular feature, the more specific notice may apply to that feature.

Questions about cookies

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, the cookies used on the website or the choices available to you, please use the contact or support channel made available through the Instant Casino website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an enquiry. We may need to verify a request before providing information about an account or personal data.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing the available cookie information, you acknowledge that cookies may be used as described in this policy, subject to the choices and controls available to you. Where consent is required for optional cookies, we will seek to provide an appropriate choice before using them.
