Pokiesurf Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Pokiesurf Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and other applicable website terms. Our aim is to provide a clear explanation of what these technologies do, why they are used and how you can control them.
Pokiesurf Casino is intended for people aged 18 and over in Australia. By continuing to browse our website, you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device in accordance with your browser settings and any choices made through our cookie controls.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or another internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits and local storage, may perform comparable functions.
Cookies can support basic website operation, remember preferences, help us understand how visitors use Pokiesurf Casino and assist with the delivery of relevant promotional content. A cookie does not normally give us direct access to other files on your device, and it cannot usually identify you by name on its own.
Some cookies are set by Pokiesurf Casino, while others may be placed by carefully selected service providers that perform functions on our behalf. Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser or leave the website.
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
- First-party cookies, which are placed by Pokiesurf Casino.
- Third-party cookies, which are placed by an external service operating on or through the website.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used on our website can be grouped according to their purpose. A single cookie may support more than one activity, and the exact cookies in use may change as our website, security measures and service providers develop.
- Essential cookies keep core features available and help protect accounts and transactions.
- Performance cookies provide information about website usage and technical operation.
- Functional cookies remember choices and support a more personalised experience.
- Marketing cookies help measure campaigns and present promotional material that may be more relevant.
Where a cookie is not necessary for the basic operation of the website, we will seek to apply the relevant preferences or permissions available through our cookie controls. Blocking certain categories may affect the experience or prevent some features from working as intended.
Cookies We Need to Operate
Essential cookies are required for important website functions. Without them, Pokiesurf Casino may not be able to provide requested services reliably or securely. These cookies generally support technical processes rather than advertising or the creation of a profile for promotional purposes.
Examples of essential activities include:
- Keeping pages and account areas available during a browsing session.
- Maintaining security controls and helping identify unusual or unauthorised activity.
- Supporting login, registration and session management where these features are used.
- Remembering information needed to process a request or maintain a secure connection.
- Applying load balancing and other technical measures that help the website remain stable.
Because these cookies are necessary for core functionality, they may not be removable through ordinary website preference tools. You can still use browser settings to delete or block them, but doing so may result in errors, repeated login requests or limited access to parts of the website.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies help us understand how Pokiesurf Casino functions in practice. They may collect information such as the pages visited, the time spent on a page, the route taken through the website, the type of device used and whether an error occurred.
This information is generally analysed in an aggregated or pseudonymous form. It helps us identify slow pages, broken links, navigation difficulties and other technical issues. We may also use performance information to assess whether website changes improve usability and reliability.
Performance cookies do not normally allow us to determine who you are solely from the information they collect. Where data is combined with other information, it will be handled in line with our Privacy Policy and any applicable choices or restrictions.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make. They can make repeat visits more convenient and help Pokiesurf Casino provide features that reflect your selected settings.
Depending on the services available, functional cookies may remember:
- Your preferred language, region or display settings.
- Choices made in cookie preference tools.
- Information entered into selected website forms during a session.
- Settings that affect the appearance or behaviour of the website.
- Whether certain notices have already been displayed.
If you remove or block these cookies, the website may still operate, but preferences may need to be entered again. Some optional features may also be unavailable or less convenient until the relevant cookies are enabled.
Promotional and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional activity and to help deliver advertising or website content that is more relevant to a visitor's interests. They may recognise a browser or device when it visits Pokiesurf Casino and other websites or services that use the same marketing technology.
These cookies may help us:
- Measure visits generated by an advertising campaign.
- Understand whether promotional content has been viewed or interacted with.
- Limit how often the same advertisement is displayed.
- Build general audience insights for campaign planning and reporting.
- Deliver promotions through approved advertising or social media platforms.
Marketing cookies are not intended to encourage unsafe or excessive gambling. Pokiesurf Casino promotes responsible use of its services and does not knowingly target people under 18. Advertising and promotional activity may be subject to eligibility rules, account requirements, geographic limits and responsible gambling controls.
You can refuse optional marketing cookies through the available preference controls or your browser settings. Refusing them may not remove all advertising, but it can reduce the personalisation and measurement associated with advertising displayed to you.
Controlling Cookie Choices
You can manage cookies in several ways. When available, our cookie preference tool allows you to accept or reject optional categories. You may also change your browser settings to block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a notification before a cookie is stored.
Browser controls differ between providers and devices. If you use more than one browser or device to access Pokiesurf Casino, your choices may need to be applied separately on each one. Deleting cookies can also remove saved preferences, sign you out of an account or affect features that depend on stored information.
Before disabling cookies, consider the following:
- Essential website functions may stop working correctly.
- Security checks may be repeated more often.
- Preferences may not be retained between visits.
- Performance information may become less complete.
- Marketing choices may need to be updated again after cookies are deleted.
Some devices also provide advertising privacy controls or options to limit tracking. These controls are managed by the device or platform provider and may not cover every technology used on our website. For questions about how Pokiesurf Casino handles personal information, please refer to the Privacy Policy and use the contact page.
Services Provided by Others
Third-party cookies may be placed by providers that support website hosting, analytics, security, advertising, payment-related functions or other technical services. These providers may process information collected through their technologies under their own privacy notices and contractual arrangements.
Pokiesurf Casino does not control every aspect of a third party's cookie practices. We encourage you to review the relevant provider's information when you are directed to an external website or when a third-party service is clearly identified in a cookie preference tool.
Third-party technologies may collect information such as a device identifier, browser type, approximate location, referral source, pages viewed and interactions with content. The scope of processing depends on the service involved. We take reasonable steps to select suitable providers and configure services appropriately, but third-party practices can change independently.
External links, embedded content and social media features may also allow another organisation to place or read cookies. Visiting a third-party website is governed by that organisation's terms and privacy information rather than this Cookies Policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers or operational practices change. We may also revise it to reflect changes in applicable guidance or to clarify how cookie preferences work.
When changes are made, the updated version will be published on the Pokiesurf Casino website with a revised effective date where appropriate. The latest version will apply from the date it is made available unless a different commencement date is stated.
We recommend reviewing this page periodically so that you remain informed about the categories of cookies we use and the choices available to you. Continuing to use the website after an update may be treated as acknowledgement of the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable law, while any required consent will continue to be requested through the relevant controls.
