Cookies Policy | Piggybet Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or another device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies can help a website work properly, remember choices, improve performance, and provide information about how visitors use its pages.

Piggybet Casino may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, local storage, and device identifiers. These technologies can perform functions that are similar to cookies. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a different meaning is clear from the context.

Some cookies are set by Piggybet Casino, while others may be set by service providers or other third parties that support website functions. The types of cookies used may change over time as the website, its services, or its technology develops. Where required, we will seek your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information, such as account, device, or usage information. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Why cookies matter

A website may not function as intended if certain essential cookies are disabled. For example, login functions, security checks, account navigation, session management, and preference settings may rely on cookies or related technologies. Other cookies are optional and help us understand website use, improve content, or support relevant communications.

Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on a website can be grouped into several categories. A particular cookie may serve more than one purpose, and the names and providers of cookies may vary. The following descriptions explain the main categories in general terms.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website and account functions. They may support page navigation, session management, secure access, fraud prevention, identity checks, load balancing, and the delivery of requested services. They may also help maintain the security and stability of the website.

Because these cookies support essential functions, they may not be available for rejection through a cookie preference tool. You can usually block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent some parts of the website from working correctly or may affect your ability to access account features.

Functional or preference cookies

These cookies remember choices you make so that the website can provide a more consistent experience. They may remember language, display, region, accessibility, or cookie preference settings. They may also help preserve information entered during a session where this is necessary to provide a requested function.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may provide information about pages visited, links selected, time spent on pages, errors encountered, device type, browser type, and general navigation patterns. This information may be used in aggregated or statistical form to improve website design, performance, content, and usability.

Analytics information is intended to help us understand general website activity rather than identify individual visitors. However, depending on the technology used and the information available, some analytics information may be associated with an online identifier or other information.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, these cookies may help deliver, measure, or tailor advertising and marketing activity. They may record visits to the website, interactions with content, or responses to campaigns. They can also help limit repeated advertising or assess whether a marketing activity is effective.

Marketing cookies are not required for the basic operation of the website. You may be able to refuse these cookies through the cookie banner, preference centre, or browser settings. Refusing them may not stop you from seeing advertising, but the advertising may be less relevant to your interests.

How cookies may be used

Depending on the website features you use and the preferences you select, cookies may be used for the following purposes:

To provide, operate, and secure the website and its services.
To keep you signed in during an active session where this is required.
To remember settings and choices that you have made.
To help detect suspicious activity, protect accounts, and support responsible security controls.
To understand website traffic, performance, errors, and general usage patterns.
To test improvements, maintain website functionality, and develop new features.
To measure the performance of communications, advertising, and promotional activity.
To provide content or marketing that may be more relevant to your interests, where permitted.
To maintain records of cookie choices and consent preferences.
To support compliance, auditing, risk management, and the prevention of misuse.

Cookies may collect information such as an IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, approximate location, pages viewed, dates and times of visits, referring website, actions taken, and identifiers assigned to the device or browser. The information collected will depend on the type of cookie and the settings applied to your device.

We may use service providers to host, analyse, secure, maintain, or improve the website. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies on our behalf, or may process information collected through their own technologies. Third-party services may have their own privacy and cookie policies. You should review those policies where relevant.

Some cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The period for which a cookie remains active depends on its purpose, settings, and the provider that places it.

Cookies and account activity

If you use account, gaming, payment, verification, or other restricted features, cookies may be used to maintain a secure session and support the proper delivery of those features. Cookies are not a substitute for account security measures. You should keep your login details confidential and take reasonable steps to protect any device used to access the website.

The website is intended for people who meet the applicable legal age and eligibility requirements for online gambling in their location. Cookies are not intended to collect information from children. If you believe that information has been collected from a person who should not use the website, please stop using the relevant service and refer to the available privacy information.

Your choices and cookie management

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This tool may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies, or select categories of cookies. Your choices may be stored in a preference cookie so that the notice does not appear repeatedly.

You can change your preferences where a cookie management tool is available. You may also control cookies through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites, block third-party cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Open the privacy, security, or settings menu in your browser.
Find the controls for cookies, site data, tracking, or permissions.
Review the available options and select the settings you prefer.
Delete existing cookies if you want to remove cookies already stored on your device.
Return to the website and review any available cookie preference tool.

Browser settings apply to the particular browser and device being used. If you use more than one device, browser, or profile, you may need to set your preferences separately. Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences and may require you to sign in again or repeat certain settings.

If you disable all cookies, some website functions may be unavailable, delayed, or less convenient. Essential cookies may still be used where they are necessary to provide a service you have requested, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, or remember a choice about cookies.

Do not track signals

Some browsers and devices offer a “Do Not Track” or similar setting. There is no single technical standard for responding to these signals across all websites and services. The way the website responds may depend on the technology being used, the applicable settings, and legal requirements.

Privacy and data protection

Information collected through cookies may be personal information under applicable law. We take reasonable steps to handle personal information securely and only use it for appropriate purposes. Our Privacy Policy provides more information about the collection, use, disclosure, storage, and protection of personal information, as well as any rights and choices that may be available to you.

If you have a question about cookies, privacy, or the way information is handled, please use the available website support or privacy request process. We will handle requests in accordance with applicable requirements and may need to verify your identity before responding to a request involving personal information.

Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies we use, our services, legal requirements, or our privacy practices. When we make a change, we will publish the updated version on this page and may update the effective date or provide another notice where appropriate.

You should check this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used. Your continued use of the website after an updated policy is published may be subject to the revised policy, except where your consent is required for a particular activity.

This Cookies Policy is intended as general information about cookies used in connection with the Piggybet Casino website. It does not change any applicable terms, privacy notices, responsible gambling information, or other conditions that govern your use of the website and its services.
