Cookies Policy
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise a device, remember information about a visit and support certain functions. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, such as your full name or contact details. They may, however, be linked with information held about your account or browsing activity where this is permitted and explained in our Privacy Policy.
Some cookies are set by Sahara Sands Casino, while others may be set by third-party service providers that help operate, secure, measure or improve the website. Similar technologies can include web beacons, pixels, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. These technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, and this policy applies to them where relevant.
Cookies can be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active can vary according to its purpose, your settings and the way it is provided.
Why cookies are used
- To help the website load and operate correctly.
- To support account sign-in, session management and security controls.
- To remember selected preferences, settings and consent choices.
- To understand how visitors use the website and identify areas for improvement.
- To help detect unusual activity, fraud, abuse and attempts to compromise the website.
- To support relevant communications and measure the performance of website content or campaigns, where permitted.
- To help provide services and features supplied by approved third parties.
2. Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support navigation, account sessions, authentication, security, responsible access controls, fraud prevention and the delivery of pages or features you request. Because the website may not function properly without them, they generally cannot be disabled through a standard cookie preference tool. You may be able to block them through your browser, but doing so could prevent access to parts of the website or make some functions unavailable.
Preference and functionality cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or consent settings. They may make future visits more convenient and help the website provide features you have selected. If you remove or reject these cookies, certain preferences may need to be entered again and some features may not operate as intended.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may collect information such as the pages visited, approximate time spent on a page, links selected, general device information and whether an error occurred. This information is generally used in aggregated or pseudonymised form to monitor performance, identify technical issues and improve content, navigation and functionality. These cookies do not necessarily identify you by name.
Advertising and measurement cookies
Where used and permitted, advertising or measurement cookies may help us understand whether information about Sahara Sands Casino has reached users, assess the effectiveness of communications and present content that may be more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be provided by third parties and may involve information about browsing activity across websites or services. We aim to use such technologies in accordance with applicable privacy and gambling advertising requirements.
Security and fraud-prevention technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to protect accounts, identify suspicious activity, enforce access controls and help prevent fraud, money laundering, account misuse or other prohibited conduct. These tools may assess information about a device, browser, network connection or interaction with the website. Refusing these technologies may affect our ability to provide secure access or verify that activity is legitimate.
3. Third-party cookies and services
Some website functions may rely on third-party providers. These providers may place or access their own cookies and similar technologies when their services are used. Examples may include providers supporting website hosting, security, analytics, customer support, payment functionality, identity or age checks, communications, content delivery and technical performance. The types of information collected and the purposes for which it is used depend on the relevant service.
Third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices and terms. Sahara Sands Casino does not control every third-party cookie or technology. We take reasonable steps to select and manage service providers appropriately, but you should review the relevant third party's information if you want to understand its practices. Third-party content, links or services may also have separate cookie settings.
Information collected through cookies may be processed in Australia or another country, subject to applicable privacy requirements and the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy. We may combine cookie information with information you provide to us or information collected when you use our services where this is necessary for security, service delivery, compliance, personalisation or other lawful purposes.
Responsible use of information
Cookie information may be relevant to the secure and lawful operation of an online gambling service. It may assist with age and identity processes, account protection, responsible gambling controls, fraud prevention, regulatory obligations and the investigation of suspected breaches. It does not override any responsible gambling tool, account restriction or legal requirement. We do not use cookies to encourage gambling that is unsafe, unlawful or inconsistent with applicable requirements.
4. Managing, disabling or deleting cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways. The website may provide a cookie banner, preference centre or similar control that allows you to accept or reject certain categories of non-essential cookies. Your choices may be stored in a cookie or similar technology so that we do not ask you again each time you visit. If you use a different browser, device or cleared your stored data, you may need to set your preferences again.
You can also use your browser or device settings to block, restrict, delete or receive warnings about cookies. The method differs between browsers and devices, so consult the relevant help or support information for instructions. Browser-based controls may remove all cookies, including those needed for essential website functions. This can cause sign-in, account, security or other features to stop working.
- Review the cookie or privacy settings available on the website.
- Select the categories of optional cookies you are comfortable accepting, where that option is available.
- Use your browser or device controls to delete existing cookies or prevent future cookies.
- Check settings again after updating your browser, changing devices or clearing stored website data.
- Review third-party privacy and cookie controls where a third-party service is used.
Withdrawing consent or blocking optional cookies will not necessarily remove information already collected before your choice was changed. We may retain information where required for security, legal, regulatory, accounting, dispute-resolution or other legitimate purposes. Essential cookies may continue to operate where they are necessary to provide a service you request or meet an applicable obligation.
Updates and further information
We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, services, technology, legal obligations or cookie practices change. The latest version will be made available on this page, and the updated date may be shown where appropriate. Your continued use of the website after an update may indicate that you have read the revised policy. We recommend checking this page periodically.
For information about how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, stored and handled, please read the Sahara Sands Casino Privacy Policy. If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or wish to exercise a privacy right, use the available contact or privacy request options provided on the website. We will handle requests in accordance with applicable Australian privacy law and may need to verify your identity before responding.
