This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and any other website terms that apply.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit. Cookies allow a website to recognise a device or remember information about a visit. They can help a website operate correctly, maintain security, remember preferences and understand how visitors use its pages.

Some cookies are placed directly by Sky Casino. Other cookies may be placed by third-party service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or advertising. These third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and contractual obligations.

Cookies can be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The period for which a cookie remains may vary depending on its purpose and the settings of your browser or device.

We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the term cookies to refer to cookies and these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

2. Why we use cookies

Cookies may be used for several purposes. The cookies used on a particular page or service may change over time as our website, technology and service providers develop. We aim to use cookies for legitimate and clearly understood purposes, and we seek to handle information collected through them in accordance with applicable privacy obligations.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may help with account access, page navigation, session management, fraud prevention, security controls, responsible gambling tools and the delivery of requested services. Because they support essential functions, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool. If you block them through your browser, parts of the website may not work properly.

Functionality and preference cookies

These cookies remember choices and settings so that the website can provide a more convenient experience. For example, they may remember language, display, region or other preferences that you select. They may also help us provide features that you request and avoid asking you to repeat the same choices during a visit.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about pages visited, links used, approximate activity patterns, loading performance and errors. We use this information to monitor performance, identify technical issues and improve the content, design and usability of our website. Where appropriate, information may be aggregated or otherwise handled to reduce the ability to identify an individual.

Security and risk management technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may help us detect unusual activity, protect accounts, prevent misuse and support the integrity of our services. Information collected for these purposes may be combined with other information available to us where permitted and necessary for security, compliance or risk management.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Where used and permitted, these cookies may help measure the effectiveness of communications or show content that is more relevant to a visitor's interests. They may also help limit repeated advertising and understand whether a communication or campaign has been viewed. We do not treat the availability of marketing cookies as a promise that marketing material will be personalised.

3. Information collected through cookies

Depending on the cookie or technology involved, information may include an online identifier, device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, IP address, referring page, pages viewed, links selected, visit times and information about interactions with the website. Information collected may also include settings or choices made during a visit.

Cookies do not normally contain information such as your full password. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with account, transaction, device or usage information where this is necessary to provide services, protect the website, meet legal obligations or investigate suspected misuse. We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

We may receive information from third-party providers that place cookies or similar technologies on our website. Those providers may act as service providers on our behalf or may process information under their own terms. Where third-party technologies are used, we take reasonable steps to assess their suitability and the way they handle information.

Cookie information may be stored or processed in Australia or another country, subject to applicable law and our privacy and security practices. International handling may involve service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, customer support or other website functions.

4. Your choices and managing cookies

When you first visit the website, a cookie notice or preference tool may allow you to choose whether to accept optional categories of cookies. You can review or change those choices through the available cookie settings. Your choices may apply only to the browser or device used to make them, so you may need to set preferences again if you use another device, browser or clear stored data.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Instructions vary between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant browser or device provider for current guidance.

Blocking all cookies may prevent account, security or other essential website functions from working correctly.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and may require you to repeat choices or sign in again.
Opting out of analytics cookies may mean that we have less information about website performance and usage.
Disabling marketing cookies may reduce targeted advertising but will not necessarily remove all advertising.
Browser-based privacy signals may be handled according to the technical capabilities of the website and applicable requirements.

Cookie preferences do not necessarily control information collected through other parts of our services, such as information provided when creating or using an account. To understand how we collect, use, disclose and retain personal information more generally, please read our Privacy Policy.

5. Third-party services, changes and contact

Some website features may rely on third-party services. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to provide functionality, measure performance, support security or deliver other services. Third parties may update their technologies, cookie names or retention periods from time to time. We may update our cookie information when those changes affect the way our website operates or information is handled.

We may also change the cookies used by Sky Casino as our website, technology, security measures and services develop. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice through the website or another appropriate channel. The current version of this Cookies Policy will apply from the date it is published, unless a different effective date is stated.

This policy does not guarantee that every cookie used on every page will be listed individually. Cookie availability may depend on the page visited, the features used, your device, your browser, your location and whether you are signed in. The preference tool, where available, provides the most relevant information about optional cookie categories at the time of your visit.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, your cookie preferences or the handling of personal information, please use the contact method made available on the Sky Casino website. We will consider privacy enquiries in accordance with our policies and applicable Australian law. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an enquiry.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing this policy, you acknowledge the use of cookies and similar technologies as described here, subject to the choices available through our cookie settings and your browser. Essential technologies may continue to operate where they are required for the website or services you request.
