Cookies Policy | Spirit Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support a consistent browsing experience. Cookies may be placed by the website you are visiting or by approved third parties that provide services used on the website.

Similar technologies may include web beacons, pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. These technologies can perform functions that are similar to cookies, such as remembering preferences, helping us understand how visitors use the website, maintaining security and measuring the effectiveness of website content.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Others help us improve performance, understand visitor activity or provide content that is more relevant to users. Where required by applicable Australian privacy or gambling-related requirements, we will seek consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

How this policy applies

This policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used on Spirit Casino websites, pages and related online services where this policy is displayed. It may not apply to third-party websites, applications or services that are linked from our website. Those third parties may have their own privacy and cookie policies, and you should review them before using their services.

Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on a website can vary depending on the features available, the device you use and the services supporting the website. The following categories describe the main purposes for which cookies may be used. A single cookie may support more than one purpose.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support page navigation, secure areas, account-related functions, session management, fraud prevention, responsible access controls and the correct operation of forms or other interactive features. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly.

Strictly necessary cookies generally cannot be disabled through the website's preference tool because they are essential to providing a service you have requested. You may still be able to block them through your browser settings, but doing so may prevent certain website features from operating.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies remember choices you make, such as language, region, display settings or other preferences. They can help provide a more convenient and consistent experience when you return to the website. If you decline these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and you may need to make the same choices again.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may collect information such as the pages visited, time spent on a page, links selected, general device information, browser type and approximate location. The information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to identify errors, monitor performance, improve navigation and develop a better online experience.

Security and risk-management technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to help protect the website, accounts and users from suspicious activity, automated abuse, fraud and other security risks. These technologies may help identify unusual sessions, repeated failed access attempts or activity that does not appear consistent with normal use. They may also support the application of access controls and legal or regulatory obligations.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, understand interactions with promotional content and limit repeated advertisements. They may also help deliver content or advertising that is more relevant to a user's interests. We do not use cookies to avoid or replace responsible gambling requirements, identity checks, account controls or other safeguards.

Information collected and how it is used

Depending on the cookie or technology involved, information collected may include a device or browser identifier, internet protocol address, approximate location, operating system, browser type, screen settings, referring page, pages viewed, visit times, clicks, session information and cookie preferences. Cookies may also record whether a device has previously visited the website or whether particular content has been displayed.

Cookie information may be combined with other information we hold about your use of our services where permitted by law and reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. We may use this information to operate and secure the website, remember settings, maintain sessions, investigate technical issues, detect suspicious activity, improve website content, understand general usage patterns and meet applicable legal, regulatory and responsible gambling obligations.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is used. Cookie data may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, communications, customer services or other online functions. These providers may process information on our behalf and are expected to handle it in accordance with applicable obligations.

Some cookies may be set by third-party services. Third parties may receive information about your device or interaction with the website and may use it in accordance with their own policies. We do not control how independent third parties operate their technologies. You should check the relevant third-party information before accepting optional cookies or using linked services.

Cookie duration

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser or finish a session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until they are deleted. The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service that places it. We may update the types, purposes or duration of cookies as the website and its features change.

Your choices and cookie management

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select particular categories. Your choices may be stored in a preference cookie so that the website can remember them. If you use a different device or browser, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies, and to receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Browser controls differ between providers, so you should consult the help or support information for your particular browser and device.

Accept or decline optional cookies through the website's cookie preference tool, where available.
Delete existing cookies from your browser or device settings.
Block future cookies, either generally or for particular websites.
Use private or incognito browsing features, subject to the limitations of your browser.
Review permissions for local storage, pixels and other similar technologies where your device or browser provides those controls.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect the website experience. Essential features may not work correctly, preferences may not be remembered, security checks may need to be repeated and some pages or services may be unavailable. Blocking cookies does not necessarily remove all information already collected, and it may not prevent all forms of device or browser recognition.

Cookie choices do not replace account, identity, age or access controls. We may still use information that is necessary to provide requested services, protect the website, prevent fraud, meet legal obligations and support responsible gambling measures. Where consent is required for optional technologies, withdrawing consent will not affect processing that is based on another lawful purpose.

Do not track signals

Some browsers and devices provide a Do Not Track or similar signal. Because there is no single industry-wide standard for responding to every such signal, the website may not respond to all browser-based settings in the same way. You can use the cookie preference tool and browser controls described above to manage optional cookies.

Updates, privacy and contact

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, services or legal obligations change. 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 and similar technologies are used.

Our Privacy Policy provides further information about how Spirit Casino handles personal information, including collection, use, disclosure, security, retention and access rights. If there is any inconsistency between this Cookies Policy and the Privacy Policy, the relevant provisions of the Privacy Policy or applicable law will apply to the extent of the inconsistency.

If you have a question about cookies, privacy or your preferences, please use the contact or support options made available on the Spirit Casino website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information when making an enquiry. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request involving personal information or account-related settings.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing any cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be used in accordance with this policy and your selected preferences. Where applicable law requires consent, optional cookies will be used only after the relevant choice has been provided.
