Cookies Policy | 888 Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other internet-connected device. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies can help websites operate correctly, improve performance, remember preferences and provide information about how visitors use online services.

Some cookies are placed directly by 888 Casino. Other cookies may be placed by third-party service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other services. A cookie may remain on your device for only the duration of your browsing session, or it may remain for a longer period until it expires or is deleted.

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

Similar technologies

We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. These technologies may perform similar functions, such as recognising a device, measuring website activity, supporting security or helping us understand how our services are used. References to cookies in this policy include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. Why we use cookies

Cookies may be used for several different purposes. The specific cookies operating on the website may change over time as services, security measures and website features are updated. The main purposes for which cookies may be used include the following:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies support essential website functions. They may help maintain a secure session, enable account access, remember basic settings, process requests and protect the website from suspicious or unauthorised activity. The website may not operate properly without these cookies.
Functionality cookies: These cookies remember choices and preferences, such as language, region, display settings or other selections. They may make future visits more convenient and help provide a more consistent experience.
Performance and analytics cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the site and whether they encounter errors. The information is generally used in an aggregated or otherwise structured form to improve website performance and usability.
Security and fraud-prevention cookies: These cookies may help identify unusual activity, protect accounts, verify sessions and support measures designed to prevent fraud, misuse or other prohibited activity.
Advertising and measurement cookies: Where used and permitted, these cookies may help measure the effectiveness of communications or marketing activity and may support the presentation of information that is more relevant to a visitor's interests. These cookies may be operated by 888 Casino or by approved third parties.
Preference and responsible-use cookies: Cookies may be used to remember certain settings relating to notices, restrictions, safer gambling tools or other choices made on the website. These cookies are not intended to override any account, legal, regulatory or responsible gambling requirement.

Cookies may help us understand general website activity, but they do not give us unrestricted access to your device. We do not use cookies to access files stored on your device outside the information made available through your browser or operating system settings.

3. First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by 888 Casino or on its behalf. They may be used to provide core website functions, remember your choices, support account and session security, and understand how our own website is used.

Third-party cookies are set by a service provider or other third party whose technology is used on the website. These providers may support services such as website analytics, security, performance monitoring, embedded content, communications or advertising measurement. Third parties may process information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy notices and terms.

We seek to use third-party services in a controlled and appropriate manner. However, third-party services may change their cookies, technologies or processing practices independently. You should review the relevant third party's information where you require more detail about how it handles data.

A link, tool or feature provided by a third party may take you to a website that is not operated by 888 Casino. We are not responsible for the privacy, security or cookie practices of external websites. You should check the policies of those websites before providing information or continuing to use their services.

4. Managing your cookie choices

You may be able to manage cookies through a cookie banner, preference centre or other controls made available on the website. You can also manage cookies through the settings of your web browser or device. Available controls vary depending on the browser, operating system and device you use.

You may accept or decline certain categories of cookies through the available website controls, where those controls are provided.
You may adjust your browser settings to block, restrict or delete cookies. Your browser's help function will usually explain how to do this.
You may delete existing cookies from your device at any time, although this may remove saved preferences and affect your experience.
You may use controls offered by certain third-party providers to manage analytics, advertising or other optional technologies.
You may revisit your cookie preferences where the website provides a preference tool, particularly if your choices or device settings change.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect the availability, security or functionality of parts of the website. For example, you may need to re-enter information, lose saved preferences or be unable to use features that require a secure session. Strictly necessary cookies may not be optional because they are required to provide a service you have requested or to operate essential website functions.

Cookie choices are generally managed at browser or device level. If you use more than one device or browser, you may need to make your choices separately on each one. Blocking cookies does not necessarily prevent all forms of data collection or all communications, and it does not remove information that has already been lawfully collected.

5. Cookie duration, privacy and policy updates

Session cookies are temporary and are normally removed when you close your browser or end your session. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. The period for which a cookie remains may depend on its purpose, the service that sets it, your browser settings and other technical factors.

Information collected through cookies may be used alongside account, device, technical and usage information. How that information is collected, used, stored, disclosed and protected is explained in our Privacy Policy. Where required, we will seek consent or provide an appropriate choice before using optional cookies or similar technologies.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technology, legal requirements, service providers or the way cookies are used. The updated version will be made available on the website and will apply from the date stated in the updated policy, where a date is provided. You should review this page periodically to stay informed about our current practices.

Questions and privacy requests

If you have a question about this policy, your cookie choices or the handling of personal information, please use the customer support or privacy contact method made available on the website. Do not include sensitive account or payment information in a public message. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a privacy request or changing information associated with your account.

This policy is intended to provide general information about cookies used in connection with the 888 Casino website. It does not limit any rights or protections that apply under Australian law, nor does it replace any specific notice provided at the point where information is collected.
