Cookies Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies are commonly used across the internet and can help websites work properly, understand how visitors use them and provide more relevant content.

Some cookies are placed directly by Goat Spins Casino, while others may be placed by service providers or other third parties that support website functions. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the term cookies to cover cookies and these related technologies unless a distinction is needed.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active can vary depending on its purpose and the settings applied to your browser or device.

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

2. How we use cookies

Goat Spins Casino may use cookies for several purposes. The cookies used on the website may change over time as features, technology, security measures and legal requirements develop. Cookies may be used to support the following activities:

• Essential website functions, such as navigation, page loading, account access and maintaining a secure connection.
• Security and fraud prevention, including helping to identify unusual activity, protect accounts and support the safe operation of gambling services.
• Remembering choices, preferences and settings, such as language, region, consent selections or other options made during a visit.
• Website performance, including understanding whether pages load correctly and identifying technical errors or areas that need improvement.
• Analytics and reporting, which help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are useful and how the overall user experience may be improved.
• Personalisation, where permitted, to make content, features or communications more relevant to your interests and interactions with the website.
• Marketing measurement, where permitted, to assess the effectiveness of advertising or promotional activity and avoid showing unnecessarily repetitive messages.
• Compliance and responsible gambling support, including maintaining records of consent, supporting account controls and helping us meet legal, regulatory and operational obligations.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for core website functions. They may enable secure log-in, account session management, fraud monitoring, navigation and other features that you request. If these cookies are blocked, some parts of the website may not work correctly or may be unavailable. Because they support essential functions, they may not be capable of being switched off through every preference tool.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference cookies help the website remember choices you make. For example, they may remember display settings, language preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. These cookies are not always essential, but disabling them may mean that you need to repeat choices during future visits.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies provide information about website use. They may help us understand visitor numbers, traffic sources, navigation patterns and technical performance. This information is generally analysed in aggregated or statistical form. It can assist with improving website design, content, accessibility, reliability and functionality.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, understand interactions with promotional content or deliver advertising that is more relevant. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers acting on our behalf. You can usually control non-essential advertising cookies through the consent tool, your browser settings or other available controls.

3. Third-party cookies and sharing information

Some services used to operate and improve the website may place cookies or access similar information. These service providers may support functions such as security, analytics, website hosting, payment processing, customer support, communications, advertising measurement or technical performance. Their use of information may be governed by their own privacy notices and terms.

We do not treat cookies as permission to collect unlimited information. Information collected through cookies is used for appropriate business, security, service and compliance purposes. Access may be limited to people and providers who need the information for their work. Where required, arrangements with providers may include confidentiality, security and data-handling obligations.

Information collected through cookies may be processed in Australia or another country where we or our service providers operate. If personal information is handled overseas, we take steps required by applicable law to manage that handling appropriately. Further information about the types of personal information we collect, how it is used and your rights is available in our Privacy Policy.

Cookies may also be used to help maintain records of your consent choices. If you remove consent cookies or use a different browser or device, the website may ask you to make your choices again. Your settings may not transfer automatically between browsers, devices or separate website sessions.

4. Your cookie choices and controls

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept non-essential cookies, reject them or choose categories individually. Your available choices can depend on the website feature being used, your location, the device you use and applicable legal requirements.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Instructions differ between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant browser or device provider for current guidance.

1. Use the website's cookie preference tool, where available, to review or change your selections.
2. Adjust your browser or device settings to allow, block or delete cookies.
3. Clear stored website data if you want to remove cookies already saved on your device.
4. Review the settings of any privacy, security or advertising tools installed on your browser or device.
5. Contact us through the available website channels if you have a question about this policy or the handling of personal information.

Blocking or deleting cookies may not prevent all website activity from being recorded, and it may affect how the website operates. For example, you may be unable to log in, remain signed in, save preferences, use account features or access certain services. Essential security and session technologies may still be used where they are necessary for the website to function safely.

You may also be able to control some targeted advertising through settings provided by your browser, device or advertising platforms. These controls do not necessarily remove all advertising. Instead, they may affect whether advertising is tailored based on browsing activity. Opting out of personalised advertising does not mean that you will not see promotional content.

Cookie choices do not replace responsible gambling controls. If gambling is no longer enjoyable or is causing concern, use the responsible gambling tools and support information made available on the website. These may include account limits, time-out options, self-exclusion information or links to independent support services, depending on what is available to you.

5. Updates and further information

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, service providers, legal obligations or cookie practices change. The updated version will be made available on this page, and the effective date may be shown where appropriate. You should review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies are used.

If a significant change affects your choices or the way personal information is handled, we may provide additional notice through the website or another suitable channel. Continuing to use the website after an update may indicate that you have read the revised policy, subject to any consent requirements that apply.

For more information about personal information, privacy rights, data security, retention and how to raise a privacy question, please refer to our Privacy Policy. If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, use the contact or support options displayed on the Goat Spins Casino website. We will handle enquiries in line with applicable privacy and consumer protection requirements.
