Gw Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how GW Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our online casino services in Australia. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and other applicable website terms. By understanding how these technologies operate, you can make informed choices about your online preferences.
Cookies may help GW Casino keep the website secure, remember selected settings, understand how visitors use our services and present information that is more relevant to them. This policy describes the main categories of cookies we may use, the purposes they serve and the options available for managing them. GW Casino is intended for people aged 18 and over.
Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer, mobile device or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. It allows the website or an authorised service provider to recognise the device and retain certain information between visits. Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name, although they may be associated with account or browsing information.
Some cookies are placed by GW Casino, while others may be placed by trusted third parties that provide services used on our website. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and device identifiers, may perform functions comparable to cookies. In this policy, we use the term cookies to cover these technologies where appropriate.
Cookies can be session-based or persistent. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the settings applied by GW Casino or the relevant service provider.
Cookie Categories
The cookies used on the GW Casino website can be grouped according to their purpose. A single cookie may support more than one function, and the precise cookies in use may change as the website, its features or its service providers are updated.
- Essential cookies support core website operations, security and account functions.
- Performance cookies provide information about website use and technical performance.
- Functional cookies remember choices and help tailor the website experience.
- Marketing cookies may help measure campaigns or deliver more relevant promotional content.
Where a cookie is not necessary for the basic operation of the website, GW Casino may request your consent before placing it, depending on the applicable settings and requirements. You may also be able to change your preferences after making an initial selection.
Cookies Needed for Operation
Essential cookies are required for important functions that you request or expect when using GW Casino. Without them, parts of the website may not work correctly or may be unavailable. These cookies are generally used to provide a secure and reliable service rather than to create a profile of your interests.
Examples of essential functions may include:
- Maintaining a secure connection while you move between website pages.
- Supporting account sign-in, session management and requested account features.
- Remembering security-related settings and helping detect unusual activity.
- Maintaining selections made during a visit, such as responsible gambling or cookie preferences.
- Distributing website traffic across technical systems to support availability and stability.
Because these cookies support necessary services, they may not be removable through the website preference tool. You can usually block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent access to account functions, games or other parts of the GW Casino website.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. They may help GW Casino understand which pages are visited, how users navigate between areas and whether visitors encounter error messages or delays. The information is used to improve usability, reliability and the overall quality of the online casino experience.
Performance information may include details such as the page visited, approximate time spent on a page, the type of device or browser used and general interaction patterns. Where possible, this information is reviewed in an aggregated or de-identified form. Performance cookies are not intended to record the content of your gameplay decisions or replace account and transaction records.
These cookies help us identify technical issues and assess changes to the website. For example, GW Casino may use performance information to determine whether a new page layout is easier to navigate or whether a feature operates consistently across different devices.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow GW Casino to remember choices you make so that the website can provide a more convenient and personalised experience. They may be used when you select language, display, regional or other website settings, or when you return after a previous visit.
Depending on the services available, functional cookies may help remember:
- Your preferred display or accessibility settings.
- Choices made in a cookie preference tool.
- Information entered into selected website forms during a session.
- Previously selected website features that are not essential to basic operation.
If you reject or delete functional cookies, the website should remain available for essential use, but you may need to repeat certain choices. Some features may also operate using default settings until your preferences are selected again.
Promotional and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional activity and to help present advertising or offers that are more relevant to your interests. They can record information about visits to GW Casino and interactions with promotional content. In some circumstances, these cookies may help limit repeated advertising or measure whether a campaign has reached its intended audience.
Marketing cookies may be set by GW Casino or by advertising, measurement or social media partners acting on our behalf or providing services to us. These partners may combine cookie information with information collected from other websites or services, subject to their own privacy notices and applicable choices.
Marketing cookies are not required for you to browse the core website. If you do not allow them, you may still see promotional content, but it may be less tailored and GW Casino may have less information about the performance of its campaigns. Any marketing activity remains subject to applicable age, responsible gambling and promotional requirements.
Controlling Cookie Choices
You can manage cookies in several ways. Where a preference tool is available on the GW Casino website, it may allow you to accept or reject non-essential categories. Your selections may be stored in an essential cookie so that the website can remember them. If you clear your cookies, the preference tool may appear again and you may need to make a new choice.
Most browsers also provide settings that allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, receive alerts before cookies are stored or restrict cookies to particular websites. The method differs between browsers and devices, so consult the relevant browser support information for instructions.
Disabling cookies may affect website performance. Blocking essential cookies can interfere with sign-in, account security, game access and other requested features. Blocking performance, functional or marketing cookies generally has a more limited effect, although preferences may not be saved and some content may be less relevant.
- Use the website preference controls where available.
- Adjust cookie permissions in your browser or device settings.
- Delete stored cookies if you want to remove previous selections.
- Review permissions again after changing browser, device or account settings.
Your browser settings may not control all similar technologies. You may also need to manage permissions in a particular application or through the relevant third-party provider.
Services Provided by Others
GW Casino may use third-party providers for functions such as website analytics, security, hosting, performance measurement, content delivery and promotional activity. These providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies when their services operate on our website. Their processing is governed by their own terms and privacy information, as well as any instructions or restrictions agreed with GW Casino.
Third-party cookies may enable a provider to recognise your browser across different visits or websites. The information collected can include device details, approximate location, browsing actions, referral information and interaction with advertisements. GW Casino does not control every setting or practice of an independent third party, so you should review the provider's privacy and cookie information when making choices about those technologies.
We select service providers with regard to the services they offer and the need to handle information appropriately. Third-party technologies may change when we introduce new features, replace a provider or update the website. The presence of a third-party service does not mean that GW Casino endorses every product or website operated by that provider.
Changes to This Policy
GW Casino may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Changes may reflect new website features, changes to the technologies we use, updates to our service providers or developments in applicable expectations. When changes are made, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically, particularly if you change your browser or device settings or continue using the website after an update. The latest version explains the cookie practices that apply at the time you access GW Casino.
If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or your privacy choices, please use the contact page on the GW Casino website. You should also review our Privacy Policy for information about how personal information may be collected, used, stored and disclosed.
