Winspirit Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how WinSpirit Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website from Australia or elsewhere. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have to manage them.
Cookies help us deliver core site functions, understand how our services are used, and improve the experience we provide. Where required or appropriate, we will request your preferences through cookie settings or banners, and you can change those choices at any time using the methods described below.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, store certain information about your session, and remember preferences or actions over time. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (often called “first-party cookies”) or by other companies that provide services to the website (often called “third-party cookies”).
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Similar technologies may also be used, such as local storage, pixel tags, and software development kits (SDKs) in certain environments. For simplicity, this policy refers to all these technologies as “cookies” unless stated otherwise.
Types of Cookies
WinSpirit Casino uses cookies for different purposes. The categories below are commonly used to describe cookies based on what they do:
- Essential cookies that are needed to operate the website and provide requested services.
- Performance cookies that help us understand site usage and improve reliability and user experience.
- Functional cookies that remember choices you make and enable enhanced features.
- Marketing cookies that help measure advertising effectiveness and, where used, support more relevant promotions.
Not all cookies are used at all times, and the specific cookies present can change as our website, features, and service providers evolve. The sections below explain each category in more detail and outline the impact of disabling them.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the operation of the WinSpirit Casino website. Without them, key features may not work correctly, and certain services you request cannot be provided. These cookies generally do not rely on your content preferences for their core function because they are used to deliver the service itself.
Examples of how essential cookies may be used include:
- Keeping you signed in during a browsing session and enabling secure navigation between pages.
- Supporting account-related actions such as logging in, accessing protected areas, and processing transactions you initiate.
- Helping detect suspicious activity and supporting security measures, including protecting against automated abuse.
- Balancing traffic across servers to keep the website stable and available.
- Saving privacy choices or cookie preference selections so we can respect them on future visits.
Because essential cookies are necessary to provide the website, blocking them may result in parts of the site becoming unavailable or not functioning as intended.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the WinSpirit Casino website. They support analytics and diagnostics, allowing us to measure what content is useful, identify errors, and improve site speed and stability. Performance cookies typically collect information in an aggregated form, such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and interactions with site elements.
These cookies may be used to:
- Generate statistics about traffic sources and user journeys through the website.
- Identify pages or features that are not working properly, helping us fix bugs and reduce downtime.
- Assess how changes to layout or navigation affect usability.
- Monitor loading performance across different devices and browsers.
If you disable performance cookies, we can still operate the site, but we may have less insight into what needs improvement, and troubleshooting may take longer.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable optional features and personalisation. They help the website remember selections you make and provide more consistent experiences between visits. While not strictly required for basic site operation, these cookies can make the website more convenient and better tailored to your preferences.
Functional cookies may be used to:
- Remember language, region, or display preferences you select.
- Keep track of interface settings, such as layout options and display choices.
- Store choices related to communication preferences or how certain notices are presented.
- Enable features that rely on remembering your selections, such as carrying information between pages during a session.
Disabling functional cookies may mean that some preferences are not saved and must be set again each time you visit.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising performance and, where enabled, to help deliver content that may be more relevant to your interests. These cookies can be set by WinSpirit Casino or by third-party advertising and measurement providers. They can collect information about your visits, such as which pages you view and links you click, and may be used to build a profile of interests.
Marketing cookies may support activities such as:
- Limiting how often you see the same promotion and helping prevent repetitive advertising.
- Measuring whether an advertisement resulted in a visit or an action on the website.
- Understanding which channels are effective so we can improve our marketing spend and reduce irrelevant outreach.
- Supporting retargeting campaigns where permitted by your settings and applicable rules.
If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it may be less relevant, and we may have reduced ability to measure campaign effectiveness. In some cases, marketing cookie choices must also be managed with the third party directly, as described below.
Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings and, where available, through cookie preference tools presented on the WinSpirit Casino website. Your choices may apply only to the browser or device you are using, so you may need to repeat them on other browsers or devices.
Common ways to manage cookies include:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to be notified before cookies are placed. Check your browser’s help menu for guidance.
- Clearing existing cookies: You can delete cookies already stored on your device. This may sign you out of your account and reset preferences.
- Private browsing modes: These modes can limit storage of certain cookies; however, they may not block all tracking technologies and can reduce site functionality.
- Device controls: On some mobile devices, you can limit ad tracking or reset advertising identifiers through your device settings.
- Preference tools: If we present a cookie banner or preference centre, you can use it to adjust non-essential categories when available.
Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent you from using parts of the website, including services that require authentication and secure session handling. If you need assistance understanding how cookie settings affect your experience, you may contact our support team at [email protected].
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the WinSpirit Casino website may be set by third parties that provide services such as analytics, security, fraud prevention, payment-related tooling, customer experience features, and advertising measurement. These third parties may use cookies according to their own policies and may process information across multiple websites or apps.
Important points about third-party cookies:
- Third-party cookies are governed by the third party’s privacy and cookies practices, not only by ours.
- We aim to work with providers that use data responsibly, but we do not control how third parties operate their technologies.
- Blocking third-party cookies in your browser may reduce tracking but can also impact embedded features and certain measurements.
- Some third-party opt-out tools require you to keep an opt-out cookie; if you delete cookies, you may need to opt out again.
Where third-party cookies are used for marketing or measurement, you can often manage them through your browser settings, through in-product preference tools, or via the third party’s own opt-out mechanisms. We encourage you to review third-party information directly to understand how they use cookies and what choices they provide.
Policy Updates
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technologies, or business practices. When we make updates, we will revise the content of this page so you can understand what has changed and how it may affect your choices. Your continued use of the WinSpirit Casino website after an update means you acknowledge the updated policy, subject to any cookie preference selections you make through available settings.
If you prefer, you can periodically review your browser cookie settings and any on-site preference tools to ensure they continue to reflect your choices.
