Cookies Policy | Yellowbat Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies can make websites work properly, help website operators understand how visitors use their services and support more relevant content.

Some cookies are placed directly by Yellowbat Casino. These are commonly called first-party cookies. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other online features. These are commonly called third-party cookies. A cookie may remain on your device for the duration of your visit or may remain for a longer period, depending on its purpose.

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

Similar technologies

We may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. For simplicity, this policy refers to these technologies as cookies unless a different distinction is important. These technologies may help us understand whether content has been viewed, whether a feature is working and how our website is used.

2. How Yellowbat Casino uses cookies

Cookies may be used for several purposes. The cookies used on our website can change over time as features, services and technical arrangements develop. The main purposes may include operating the website, protecting users, remembering preferences, measuring performance and supporting communications.

Website operation: Cookies help pages, account areas and other essential functions load and operate correctly.
Security and fraud prevention: Cookies and related technologies may help identify unusual activity, protect accounts, maintain session security and support the prevention of fraud, misuse or unauthorised access.
Account and session management: Cookies may remember that you have signed in, maintain your session and help direct you to the appropriate account or website area.
Preferences: Cookies may remember choices such as language, region, display settings, consent selections or other preferences, so you do not need to provide the same information repeatedly.
Performance and reliability: Cookies may help us monitor technical performance, identify errors, improve page speed and understand whether website features are functioning as intended.
Analytics: Cookies may provide information about visits, navigation, popular pages, device types, general location and how users interact with the website. This information helps us improve the website and user experience.
Communications and advertising: Where applicable and permitted, cookies may help us measure communications, control how often content is shown and provide information about the effectiveness of marketing activity.
Compliance and responsible operation: Cookies may support age and identity checks, account controls, responsible gambling tools, regulatory processes and the application of website rules.

Essential cookies may be used without a separate consent choice where they are necessary to provide a service or feature you have requested, maintain security or comply with a legal or operational obligation. Non-essential cookies will be used in accordance with the choices available to you and applicable law.

3. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for core website functions. They may enable account access, maintain secure sessions, remember cookie preferences and support navigation between pages. If these cookies are disabled, parts of the website may not work properly or may become unavailable.

Functional or preference cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and provide enhanced features. For example, they may retain display or language preferences, remember settings made during a visit or help provide a more convenient experience. These cookies are not always essential, but disabling them may mean that some preferences are not retained.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may record information such as pages viewed, links selected, the time spent on a page, general device information and whether a page or function produces an error. This information is generally used in aggregated or pseudonymous form to improve website performance and design.

Marketing or measurement cookies

Where used, marketing or measurement cookies may help us assess the reach and effectiveness of communications, avoid showing repetitive content and understand how users arrive at the website. These cookies may be set by Yellowbat Casino or by selected service providers acting on our behalf. They will be used subject to your preferences and applicable requirements.

Third-party cookies

Some website functions may be provided by third parties. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with their services. Their handling of information may be governed by their own privacy or cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the relevant provider information where it is made available. Yellowbat Casino does not control every technology used by third parties and their practices may change independently.

4. Your cookie choices and browser controls

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept certain categories, reject optional cookies or adjust your choices. Your selections may be stored in a cookie so that the preference tool does not ask you again during every visit.

You can also manage cookies through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies through their privacy or settings menu. The exact steps vary depending on the browser and device. Information about browser controls is usually available in the browser's help section.

Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and may require you to sign in or make selections again.
Blocking all cookies may prevent account features, secure sessions or other parts of the website from working correctly.
Browser controls may apply to all websites, not only Yellowbat Casino.
Changing your device or browser may require you to set your cookie preferences again.
Some opt-out choices use a cookie or similar identifier. If that identifier is deleted, the preference may not be retained.

Where available, you can revisit the website's cookie preference tool to change your choices. Choosing not to accept optional cookies should not affect your ability to use essential website functions, although some features or personalised settings may be limited.

5. Information, retention and updates

Information collected through cookies may include an IP address, device or browser information, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, links selected, referral information, dates and times of visits, account or session identifiers and information about interactions with the website. The information collected will depend on the cookies enabled, the features you use and the settings available on your device.

We may combine cookie information with other information where necessary to operate the website, maintain security, provide services, understand usage, meet legal obligations or improve our products. We take reasonable steps to handle information securely and only retain it for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Some service providers may process information outside Australia or use technical infrastructure located in other countries. Any handling of personal information will be subject to applicable privacy obligations and the arrangements described in our Privacy Policy. We do not promise that every website or third-party service will be available at all times or that every cookie will be identified in a notice immediately after it is introduced.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers or legal obligations change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date where appropriate. We encourage you to check this page from time to time so you remain aware of how cookies and similar technologies are used. If a change requires a new consent choice, we will provide an appropriate notice or preference mechanism.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request involving personal information. Further information about access, correction, complaints and other privacy matters is available in our Privacy Policy.
