Cookies Policy | Alawin Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember certain information about your visit and provide a more consistent experience. Cookies cannot normally be used to identify you by name on their own, although information collected through cookies may be linked with other information in some circumstances.

Some cookies are placed directly by Alawin Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other online services. These third-party technologies operate according to the relevant provider’s terms and privacy information.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and software development tools. These technologies can perform functions comparable to cookies, such as remembering settings, measuring visits, detecting unusual activity or helping to deliver relevant content.

Why cookies are used

To help the website load and operate correctly.
To remember preferences, settings and choices made during a visit.
To support account, login and session functionality where available.
To help protect the website, users and transactions from suspicious or unauthorised activity.
To understand how visitors use the website and identify areas for improvement.
To support communications, content and advertising where permitted and relevant.
To maintain records of cookie preferences and consent choices.

2. Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on the website may differ depending on the pages you visit, the features you use, your device and the choices you make. Cookies are generally grouped into the following categories.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for core website functions. They may support page navigation, security controls, session management, account access and the operation of forms or other essential features. Without them, parts of the website may not function properly. Because they are necessary for the website to operate, they may remain active even when optional cookies are declined.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies help the website remember information and choices, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. They can make the website easier to use and reduce the need to enter the same information repeatedly. If these cookies are disabled, some preferences may not be retained.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may provide information about pages viewed, links selected, approximate location, device type, browser type, visit duration and errors encountered. This information is generally used in aggregated or pseudonymised form to monitor performance, improve navigation and develop a better user experience.

Advertising and targeting cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or targeting cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements and show content that is more relevant to your interests. These cookies may be placed by Alawin Casino or by selected third parties. You can usually manage this category through the cookie preference tool or your browser settings.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to identify unusual behaviour, help prevent misuse, support account security and protect the integrity of the website. These technologies may collect information about a device, browser, connection, activity patterns or other technical details. They are intended to support safe and lawful use of the website.

3. First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by Alawin Casino or on its behalf when you use the website. They may be used for essential operations, preferences, security, measurement and other functions described in this policy.

Third-party cookies are set by an organisation other than Alawin Casino. They may support services such as website analytics, security, payment-related functions, embedded content, customer support, campaign measurement or advertising. Third parties may collect information about your use of the website and may combine that information with information collected from other websites or services, subject to their own policies.

Alawin Casino does not control all third-party technologies or the way third parties process information. Before accepting optional third-party cookies, you should review the relevant provider’s privacy information where available. The use of a third-party service does not necessarily mean that Alawin Casino endorses every practice of that provider.

Cookie duration

Some cookies are session cookies. They are deleted when you close your browser or end your session. Other cookies are persistent cookies. They remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The length of time may vary depending on the purpose of the cookie and the settings of the service that places it.

Cookie lifespans may change as website features, security requirements, service providers and legal or regulatory expectations develop. Information shown in a cookie preference tool may provide further detail about available categories at the time you access the website.

4. Managing your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where available, you can use it to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or choose specific categories. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember them. You can revisit or change your choices through the available cookie settings link or control.

You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block new cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. Browser controls vary, so you should consult the help information for your browser or device.

Open your browser’s privacy, security or site-settings menu.
Review the available cookie and tracking controls.
Choose whether to allow, block or delete cookies.
Close and reopen the browser if required for the change to take effect.
Return to the website later if you wish to update your preference again.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience. Essential functions may not work correctly, preferences may not be remembered, pages may need to be loaded again and some website features may be unavailable. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies should not usually prevent access to essential content, but the website may not be personalised and activity may not be measured in the same way.

Some devices also provide controls for limiting advertising identifiers or tracking. These controls may apply to apps and services generally and may operate separately from the cookie controls on this website.

5. Privacy, updates and further information

Information collected through cookies may include technical and usage information, such as an internet protocol address, browser type, operating system, device details, pages visited, approximate location, referral information, dates and times of access, and interactions with website features. How this information is collected, used, stored, disclosed and protected is explained in the Alawin Casino Privacy Policy.

Alawin Casino may use information obtained through cookies to operate and secure the website, provide requested services, understand website performance, improve content, meet legal and regulatory obligations, manage risks and support responsible online gambling practices. Information will be handled in accordance with applicable Australian privacy requirements and the Privacy Policy.

The website may contain links to external websites or services. Those websites may use their own cookies and tracking technologies. This Cookies Policy does not govern external websites, and you should review their privacy and cookie information before using them.

Changes to this policy

This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technology, service providers, business practices or legal requirements. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page and the effective information may be communicated through the website where appropriate. Your continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the revised policy, except where a separate consent is required.

Questions and privacy requests

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, wish to review or change your cookie choices, or want to make a privacy-related request, please use the contact or support channels made available on the Alawin Casino website. We may need to verify your request before taking action. Further information about privacy rights, handling practices and complaints is available in the Privacy Policy.

By continuing to use the website, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used as described in this policy, subject to the choices and controls available to you.
