Cookies Policy

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. Cookies allow a website to recognise a device, remember selected settings and understand how people use its pages. Some cookies are stored only while your browser is open, while others may remain on your device for a longer period or until you remove them.

Piggybet Casino may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development tools and local storage. These technologies can perform functions that are similar to cookies. In this policy, the word cookies refers to cookies and similar technologies unless a different meaning is stated.

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. They may, however, be associated with information about your device, browser, account activity, website visits or preferences. Where information collected through cookies is personal information, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Why cookies are used

Cookies help us provide a functional, secure and user-friendly online service. Depending on the purpose and your choices, cookies may be used to:

• Enable essential website functions, including page navigation, account access and security features.
• Remember information that you enter or choices that you make during a visit.
• Keep your session active and help protect against unauthorised or suspicious activity.
• Understand how visitors use the website and identify areas that may be improved.
• Measure the effectiveness of website content, communications and campaigns.
• Support relevant advertising or marketing activity where this is permitted and appropriate.
• Recognise a returning browser or device and provide a more consistent experience.
• Help us detect technical errors, service interruptions and performance issues.

Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on the website can vary depending on the pages, features and services you use. The categories below describe the main purposes for which cookies may be placed. A cookie can sometimes fall into more than one category.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support the basic operation and security of the website. They may be required for functions such as moving between pages, accessing secure areas, maintaining a session, preventing fraudulent activity and remembering privacy choices. If these cookies are disabled, parts of the website may not work correctly or may become unavailable.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference cookies remember choices and settings so that the website can provide a more convenient experience. Examples may include language or region settings, display preferences and information about how a user has chosen to interact with certain features. These cookies are not always essential, but disabling them may mean that preferences need to be selected again.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information such as the pages viewed, the links selected, the time spent on a page, the type of device used and general browser or location information. This information is generally used in an aggregated or pseudonymised form to assess performance, identify problems and improve the design and content of the website.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand interactions with promotional content and show information that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be placed by Piggybet Casino or by service providers acting on our behalf. Marketing activity is subject to applicable laws, platform requirements, responsible gambling obligations and the choices available through our consent tools.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

We may use cookies and related technologies to help protect the website, accounts and users. These technologies can assist with identifying unusual activity, detecting automated or malicious behaviour, supporting account security and maintaining the integrity of our services. Security technologies may operate even when other, optional cookie categories are declined.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are placed by Piggybet Casino or by a service operating under our instructions for the website. They may be used to provide core features, remember settings, maintain security and analyse the performance of our own services.

Third-party cookies are placed by a provider other than Piggybet Casino. Third parties may provide analytics, security, payment, content, customer support, advertising or other website services. Those providers may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and terms. We do not control all third-party practices, so you should review the relevant provider information where available.

Third-party content or tools may change over time. As a result, the specific cookies or similar technologies present on a particular page can vary. We aim to use appropriate safeguards and to work with providers that support our legal, security and operational requirements. However, no online service can guarantee that every third-party technology will remain unchanged.

Information that may be collected

Depending on the technology and the purpose for which it is used, information may include an IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, approximate location, referring website, pages visited, links selected, session times and interaction data. Cookie information may also include a unique identifier or an indication of the preferences you have selected. We use this information for the purposes described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are not intended to replace identity, age or account verification processes. If you create or use an account, information collected through cookies may be linked with account or transaction information where this is necessary for security, compliance, service delivery or other lawful purposes. We only seek to use information in a manner that is reasonably connected with the purpose for which it was collected.

Your choices and cookie controls

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, this tool allows you to accept, decline or manage optional categories of cookies. Your choices may be saved in a preference cookie so that the notice does not appear each time you visit. You can change your choices later by using the available cookie settings link or other controls on the website.

Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies through their privacy or security settings. You may be able to configure your browser to notify you before a cookie is placed, accept cookies only from certain websites, or remove cookies when the browser is closed. The steps vary between browsers and devices, so you should consult the help information provided by your browser.

If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one. Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and may require you to sign in or make selections again. Blocking all cookies can also affect website functionality, including secure account features and other services that rely on necessary cookies.

Mobile and advertising controls

Mobile operating systems may offer controls for advertising identifiers, tracking permissions or similar technologies. You can review the privacy settings on your device to understand the options available. Some advertising platforms and service providers may also provide their own opt-out tools. An opt-out generally applies only to the browser, device or service where it was selected and may not stop all advertising.

Choosing not to receive optional cookies does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. It may mean that advertisements are less relevant or that campaign measurement is limited. Essential cookies may still be used where they are needed to provide the website, comply with legal obligations, protect users or maintain security.

Consent and lawful use

Where consent is required, we will seek it before using optional cookies for the relevant purposes. You are not required to consent to optional cookies as a condition of browsing the website, although some features may be affected if certain technologies are disabled. We may use strictly necessary technologies without consent where this is permitted because they are required to provide a service you have requested or for another lawful purpose.

You can withdraw or change consent for optional cookies at any time using the controls provided. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before your choice was changed. Some settings may take a short period to apply, and previously stored cookies may need to be deleted through your browser or device settings.

Retention, privacy and policy changes

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until they are deleted. The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie, technical requirements, your settings and the practices of the relevant provider. We aim to retain information collected through cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, stored, disclosed and managed, as well as the rights and choices that may be available to you. If information from cookies is combined with other personal information, the handling of that information will be governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy laws.

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Those websites have their own cookies and privacy practices, and this Cookies Policy does not apply to them. We recommend reading the privacy and cookie information published by any third party before providing information or using its services.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies we use, our service providers, legal requirements or our privacy practices. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should check this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies are used.

Questions and concerns

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, your cookie preferences or the way information is handled, please use the contact or support channel made available on the Piggybet Casino website. When making a privacy-related request, we may need to verify your identity and clarify the details of your request. We will handle questions and requests in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.

This policy is intended to provide clear general information about cookies used in connection with the Piggybet Casino website. It does not override any applicable terms, privacy notices, consent choices or legal requirements that apply to a particular service or interaction.
