Cookies Policy | Spinfellas Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that are placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember information about a visit and support certain functions. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting, which are commonly called first-party cookies, or by another service operating on the website, which are commonly called third-party cookies.

Some cookies are stored only for the duration of your browsing session. These are known as session cookies and are usually removed when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them. These are known as persistent cookies. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

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

Why we use cookies

We use cookies for a range of operational and informational purposes. The specific cookies used may change as our website, technology and services develop. Cookies can help us provide a consistent, secure and reliable experience while allowing us to understand how visitors use the website.

To allow pages, account areas and interactive features to function correctly.
To remember information selected during a visit, such as language, region or display preferences.
To support sign-in, account security, session management and fraud prevention.
To maintain the reliability, performance and availability of the website.
To understand website traffic, navigation and general usage patterns.
To identify technical problems and help us test improvements.
To provide relevant communications or advertising where this is permitted and appropriate.
To remember cookie choices and other privacy preferences.

2. Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for essential website functions. They may support account access, session security, navigation, load balancing, protection against suspicious activity and the operation of features you request. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not work properly. Because they are necessary for the website to operate or for a service requested by you to be provided, they may not be disabled through every cookie control. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent access to some services or functions.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced functionality. For example, they may remember selected settings, display preferences or information that helps the website provide a more convenient experience. If these cookies are disabled, some personalised features may not operate as intended, and you may need to repeat certain selections during future visits.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about pages visited, time spent on pages, general navigation paths, browser or device type, approximate location and technical errors. We use this information in an aggregated or otherwise managed form to evaluate performance, identify improvements and understand which content is useful. These cookies are not intended to record the content of private communications or your account password.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Advertising and marketing cookies may be used to help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand interactions with promotional content and show information that is more relevant to your interests. These cookies may be placed by us or by selected service providers acting on our behalf. We will only use these technologies where permitted by applicable law and according to the choices available through our website or your device settings.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

We may use cookies and related technologies to help protect accounts, transactions and the website from unauthorised access, automated misuse, scams and other harmful activity. These technologies may collect information about a device, browser, connection, interaction patterns or unusual activity. Security information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate incidents, protect our services and meet legal or regulatory obligations.

3. Third-party cookies and services

Some parts of the website may use services provided by third parties. These providers may set or access cookies and similar technologies on our behalf or in accordance with their own policies. Examples may include website hosting and security providers, analytics services, payment or identity-related technology, customer support tools and advertising or campaign measurement services. The providers used may change over time.

A third-party service may collect information about your browser, device, website activity or interaction with its features. The third party may use that information to provide its service, maintain security, produce reports or meet its own legal obligations. Where a third party acts independently, its handling of information may be governed by its own privacy and cookie notices. We encourage you to review those notices where they are made available.

Social media, video, chat, payment and other embedded features may also use cookies or similar technologies. If you interact with an embedded feature, the relevant provider may collect information about that interaction. We do not control all third-party technologies and cannot guarantee that their cookie practices will remain unchanged. We take reasonable steps to select and manage service providers in a manner consistent with our obligations.

Information collected through cookies

Depending on the cookie and the way you use the website, information collected may include an IP address or a similar network identifier, device and browser details, operating system, pages viewed, links selected, approximate location, referral information, date and time of activity, preferences and information about interactions with website features. Cookies may also help us recognise a returning browser or device without necessarily identifying the individual using it.

We use cookie information for the purposes described in this policy, including operating and securing the website, improving services, understanding usage, managing communications and complying with applicable obligations. We do not use cookies to avoid or replace any age, identity, account, responsible gambling, security or legal checks that may apply.

4. Your cookie choices

When available, our cookie preference tool allows you to accept or reject categories of cookies that are not strictly necessary. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that we can remember them. If you clear your cookies, use a different browser or visit from another device, you may be asked to make your choices again. Changing your preferences may not remove cookies that were already placed on your device, so you may also need to delete them through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or limit cookies through their privacy or settings menus. You can usually choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, delete cookies when the browser closes or receive a notification before a cookie is stored. Browser controls differ, so consult the help information for your browser or device for instructions.

If you disable or delete cookies, the website may continue to be available, but some functions may not work correctly. You may be unable to remain signed in, save preferences, complete certain processes or use interactive features. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies should generally affect measurement or promotional features rather than essential website functions, although the effect may vary depending on the technology involved.

Use the cookie preference controls displayed on the website, where available.
Adjust your browser or device settings to block, restrict or delete cookies.
Review the privacy settings offered by third-party services that you use.
Clear existing cookies if you want to remove previously stored preferences or identifiers.
Contact us through the available website channels if you have a question about cookie choices or privacy.

Some online advertising and analytics providers offer their own opt-out tools. These tools may apply only to the provider offering them and may not prevent all advertising or measurement technologies. Opt-out preferences can also be affected if you delete cookies, change devices or use a different browser.

5. Updates, retention and contact information

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technologies, services, legal requirements or privacy practices. When we make a change, we will update the version displayed on this page. If a change is significant, we may provide additional notice through the website or another appropriate channel. You should review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies are used.

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose. Session cookies generally expire when your browsing session ends, while persistent cookies may remain for a defined period or until you delete them. Retention periods may differ between cookie categories and providers. We retain information obtained through cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

This policy does not change any rights or obligations set out in our Privacy Policy, website terms, account terms or responsible gambling information. If there is an inconsistency between this policy and a specific notice presented through the website, the more specific notice may apply to the relevant technology or service.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, how we use cookies or the choices available to you, please use the contact or support options made available on the Spinfellas Casino website. Do not include passwords, payment details or other sensitive account information in a general enquiry unless a secure process specifically requests it.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing any applicable cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be used as described in this policy, subject to the choices and controls available to you. Where consent is required, we will seek it through the relevant notice or preference tool.
