1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files or data values that a website asks a browser to store. They can help a site remember that the same browser has returned, preserve a preference or support a technical function. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags and software development tools that perform related tasks.
A cookie does not automatically know your name or email address. It may contain an identifier, preference or timestamp. Information becomes more directly identifiable when it is combined with details you provide or account data held by a third party.
2. Why the website uses cookies
AussieCasinoGetaways uses necessary storage to remember privacy choices and support core interactions. Optional categories may be used to remember preferences, understand aggregated page usage or measure the effectiveness of communications.
We aim to keep the use of cookies proportionate to a travel information website. We do not provide online gambling accounts, process bets or use cookies to promise financial outcomes.
3. Essential cookies
Essential cookies and local-storage entries support functions that should operate regardless of optional consent. Examples include saving the cookie banner selection, maintaining security controls and enabling a form to behave correctly during a browser session.
Because these technologies are necessary to provide the requested website function, the settings panel shows them as always enabled. Blocking all storage at browser level may still affect the site.
4. Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices that improve convenience, such as display selections, dismissed notices or interface state. They are not required to read the main content.
When preference cookies are disabled, the website should remain usable, but certain choices may need to be made again on a later visit.
5. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help measure how visitors move through pages, which content is frequently viewed and whether technical issues occur. Reports should be used at an aggregated level to improve navigation, performance and editorial structure.
Where analytics is optional, it should not run until consent is recorded. We seek to avoid collecting more detail than is needed for practical website improvement.
6. Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may help measure whether a campaign led to a visit or support more relevant communications on third-party platforms. They can involve identifiers set by external services.
Marketing cookies are optional. Rejecting them should not prevent access to hotel guides, legal pages or responsible gambling information.
7. Third-party services
Embedded maps, social links, font providers and other external features may connect to third-party services. Those services can apply their own cookies or similar technologies when content loads or when you follow a link.
We do not control the independent cookie practices of a third party. Review its policy and use its account or browser settings where available.
8. Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies are generally removed when the browser closes. They are useful for temporary interaction state. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted and can remember a choice between visits.
Local storage is commonly persistent until a website script or the user removes it. Our cookie preference record remains so that the banner does not reappear on every page.
9. Cookie duration
Duration depends on purpose. A security or session value may last only for the visit, while a preference may remain for months. Third-party services may set different periods under their own policies.
We periodically review whether stored values are still necessary. A shorter period may be used where the same purpose can be achieved without long-term storage.
10. Cookie categories and examples
| Cookie category | Purpose | Example | Typical duration | Required or optional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Operate core features and remember privacy choices | acg_cookie_preferences | Up to 12 months or until deleted | Required |
| Preferences | Remember interface choices | display_preference | Session to 12 months | Optional |
| Analytics | Measure aggregated page usage | analytics_identifier | Session to 24 months | Optional |
| Marketing | Measure communications and campaigns | campaign_attribution | 30 days to 12 months | Optional |
Examples are descriptive rather than a guarantee that every named value is active. The technologies present can change as the website develops.
11. Managing cookie preferences
Use the Cookie Settings link in the footer to reopen the panel. Necessary cookies remain enabled, while preferences, analytics and marketing can be selected separately. Saving the panel replaces the earlier optional selection.
You can also accept all optional categories or reject them together. The chosen settings are stored in your browser. Different browsers or devices require separate selections.
12. Browser settings
Browsers allow users to view, delete and block cookies. Controls are commonly found under privacy, security or site data settings. You may be able to block third-party cookies, remove data for one site or clear all stored data.
Blocking all cookies can affect sign-in systems, shopping tools and other sites. On AussieCasinoGetaways, clearing storage will generally cause the cookie notice to appear again.
13. Withdrawing consent
Consent for optional cookies can be withdrawn at any time through Cookie Settings. The new selection applies to future use. It may not reverse aggregated analysis already completed before withdrawal.
Where a third-party cookie has already been set, you may also need to remove it using browser controls or the provider’s own opt-out mechanism.
14. Do Not Track signals
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is no universally adopted legal or technical standard for interpreting every signal. We therefore rely primarily on the explicit choices made in our cookie panel.
We may update our approach if a broadly recognised standard becomes available or applicable law requires a specific response.
15. Updates to the Cookie Policy
This Policy may be revised when cookie categories, providers, features or legal requirements change. The latest version will appear on this page with an updated date.
Where a material change affects consent, we may ask you to review preferences again.
