Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how best-online-casinos-au.net, referred to as the “Website”, “we”, “us” or “our”, may use cookies and similar technologies when visitors browse reviews, guides, comparison pages and other content.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Those documents provide further information about the Website, the handling of personal information and the rules that apply when using our content.
Purpose of this policy
This policy describes what cookies are, why they may be placed on a visitor’s device, how long they can remain active and what choices are available.
The Website is an informational comparison resource. We do not operate casino accounts, accept wagers or process deposits and withdrawals. Cookies used by an external casino after a visitor follows a link are controlled by that casino or its service providers.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, smartphone, tablet or other connected device when a website is opened. They can store or retrieve information about a browser, session, preferences or previous interactions.
Some cookies exist only while the browser is open. Others remain on the device for a defined period or until they are deleted.
Cookies do not normally contain complete documents, passwords or payment card details. However, cookie identifiers may be combined with information such as an IP address, device data or browsing activity. In some circumstances, this information may be treated as personal information.
Similar technologies
This policy also covers technologies that perform functions similar to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, link identifiers and server logs.
Such tools may record page visits, technical errors, traffic sources, browser details or interactions with external links. The exact technologies used can change as Website functions and service providers are updated.
Categories of cookies we may use
Essential cookies support functions required for the Website to operate securely and reliably. They may assist with traffic management, fraud prevention, security checks, preference tools and protection against malicious activity.
These cookies cannot always be disabled through a Website preference panel because the relevant function may not work without them. They can still be blocked through browser settings, although doing so may affect access or performance.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the Website. They can record information such as the pages opened, approximate session duration, referral source, device category, browser type, general location and technical errors.
We use this information to identify popular content, detect navigation problems, improve page speed and evaluate Website performance. Reports are generally reviewed in aggregated form rather than for the purpose of identifying individual visitors.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies may remember choices made during a visit. For example, they may store cookie selections, language settings, display options or whether a notification has already been shown.
These cookies reduce the need to repeat the same selection each time the Website is opened from the same browser.
Affiliate and referral cookies
Some links to external websites may contain tracking identifiers. When a visitor follows such a link, an affiliate network or external operator may place a cookie or record a referral reference.
This enables the third party to determine that the visitor arrived through our Website and whether a qualifying action later occurred. We may receive a commission where the conditions of an affiliate arrangement are met.
Affiliate reports may contain a campaign reference, click identifier, approximate country, device category or conversion status. We do not normally receive casino passwords, full payment information or identity documents through affiliate cookies.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are placed directly through the Website’s domain and are generally used for core functions, preferences or internal measurement.
Third-party cookies are placed or accessed by an independent provider whose services are included on the Website. These may include analytics platforms, hosting and security tools, affiliate networks, advertising services or embedded content providers.
Third parties determine how their own technologies operate and may combine information with data collected through other websites or services. Their activities are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Cookie information and provider lists
The exact cookies active on the Website may vary according to the visitor’s device, location, consent choices and the services currently enabled.
Where a cookie preference tool is available, it may provide additional details such as the cookie name, provider, category, purpose and expected duration.
We may update or replace analytics, security and affiliate providers. As a result, a fixed list in this policy may not always reflect every technical identifier active at a particular moment.
How long cookies remain
Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies can remain for several days, months or another period set by the relevant provider.
Retention depends on the purpose. Security cookies may last only long enough to verify a request, preference cookies may remain until a choice needs to be renewed, and analytics or affiliate cookies may be retained for a longer attribution or reporting period.
A visitor can remove persistent cookies before their scheduled expiry through browser settings.
Managing cookie preferences
Where the Website displays a cookie banner or preference centre, visitors can use it to accept, reject or adjust available categories. Essential technologies may remain active where they are necessary for security or core Website operation.
A choice can usually be changed later by reopening the preference tool, clearing stored cookies or adjusting browser settings.
Refusing optional cookies does not prevent access to ordinary editorial content, although some measurement, embedded or personalised functions may become unavailable.
Browser controls
Most browsers allow users to view, block and delete cookies. Controls are commonly available within privacy, security or site-data settings.
Browsers may allow all cookies to be blocked, third-party cookies to be restricted or information to be deleted when the browser closes. Similar controls may be available in mobile-device settings.
The required steps depend on the browser and version being used. Visitors should consult the browser provider’s official help material for current instructions.
External links and casino websites
Our content may contain links to casino operators, software providers, regulators, payment services and responsible-gambling organisations.
After a visitor follows an external link, the destination website may use its own cookies and tracking technologies. We do not control their settings, retention periods or data-sharing practices.
Before registering, depositing or submitting personal information, visitors should review the third party’s privacy notice, cookie information and account terms.
Privacy choices and enquiries
Depending on applicable law and the nature of the information held, visitors may be able to request access to or correction of personal information associated with their communications or Website activity.
A request should include enough information for us to understand the issue, but should not contain casino passwords, card information or identity documents unless specifically and securely requested.
Further information about privacy requests, data retention and complaints is available in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to this Cookies Policy
We may update this policy when Website functions, technologies, service providers or legal requirements change.
The latest version will be published on this page with a revised update date. Continued use of the Website after an update is subject to the current version.
