What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device. They allow the website to recognise a device, remember certain information and provide features that may make browsing easier. Similar technologies can include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a different meaning is clear from the context.

Cookies can be set by Nine Casino or by another organisation that provides services used on the website. Some cookies last only for the duration of your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a longer period, subject to their purpose, your browser settings and the relevant expiry period.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information, such as account, device or usage information. When this happens, the information may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy laws.

Why we use cookies

Nine Casino may use cookies to support the website, online account functions and related services. The specific cookies used may change as the website, technology and service providers change. Cookies may be used for the following general purposes:

• Strictly necessary functions, such as page navigation, account access, session management, security checks and fraud prevention.
• Remembering choices and preferences, such as language, region, display settings and other selections made during a visit.
• Understanding how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed, how features perform and whether links or content are useful.
• Supporting website performance, stability, testing and troubleshooting.
• Helping deliver relevant communications, advertising or promotional content where this is permitted and where the relevant consent or legal basis is required.
• Detecting unusual activity, protecting accounts and helping to support responsible and lawful use of gambling services.

Types of cookies we may use

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for core website functions. They may help keep a session secure, remember whether a user is signed in, process requests, maintain technical settings and protect against unauthorised activity. If these cookies are blocked, parts of the website may not operate correctly. Because they support functions requested by you or are necessary to provide the service, they may not be removable through every preference tool.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies help the website remember choices and provide a more consistent experience. For example, they may remember selected preferences or help maintain settings between pages. If you reject these cookies, you may still be able to use the website, but some features may be less convenient or may need to be selected again.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand general patterns of website use. This may include information about visits, traffic sources, page response times, errors, navigation and interactions with website features. We may use this information in an aggregated or otherwise protected form to improve the website, identify technical issues and assess the effectiveness of content.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used, advertising and marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand interactions with promotional content and provide advertising that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be provided by third parties and may work across different websites or services. They will only be used in accordance with applicable requirements and any choices made through the available consent tools.

Security and compliance technologies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies to support identity checks, age and eligibility processes, account security, fraud detection, system monitoring and compliance obligations. These technologies may help identify unusual activity or prevent misuse. Disabling them may affect access to some account or gambling functions.

Your choices and cookie controls

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, this tool allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies and to adjust your selections by category. Your choices may be stored so that they can be applied during later visits. If you delete the relevant preference cookie, change device or use another browser, you may be asked to make your selections again.

You can also control cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. Settings differ between browsers and devices, so you should refer to the instructions provided by the relevant browser or device manufacturer. You may be able to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, delete cookies when your browser closes or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the way the website works. In particular, you may not be able to sign in, keep a session active, use account features, complete security checks or access certain gambling services. If you use more than one device or browser, settings may need to be applied separately to each one.

• Essential cookies may continue to operate because they are required for core services, security or functions requested by you.
• Rejecting optional cookies does not necessarily stop all advertising or communications, but it may make them less tailored to your interests.
• Changing your cookie preferences does not automatically delete information already collected. Other privacy choices may be available under our Privacy Policy.
• Some third-party cookies may be controlled through the third party’s own tools or settings.
• You should review your preferences periodically because cookie use and website features may change.

Do Not Track and similar signals

Some browsers and devices offer Do Not Track or similar privacy signals. These signals are not interpreted consistently across the internet. Where technically feasible and required by applicable law, we may respond to recognised privacy signals in accordance with the choices and settings associated with those signals.

Third-party services, privacy and changes

Nine Casino may use third-party providers for functions such as website hosting, analytics, security, payment support, customer communications, advertising measurement and technical operations. These providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies when delivering services to us. Their handling of information may be governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party information where it is made available.

Information collected through cookies may include an IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, pages viewed, visit times, referral information, account or session identifiers and interactions with the website. The information collected will depend on the cookie and the service involved. We may use, disclose or retain this information as described in our Privacy Policy, to operate the website, meet legal obligations, protect users and the business, and manage our services.

We take reasonable steps to protect information handled through the website. However, no online service, device or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should keep your browser, operating system and security software updated, use trusted networks where possible and avoid sharing account credentials or security codes with anyone.
