Cookies Policy | Vinyl Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies may help a website work correctly, remember choices, maintain a secure session and provide information about how the website is used.

Vinyl Casino may also use technologies that perform a similar function, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device or browser information. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and similar technologies collectively as cookies. These technologies may be placed by Vinyl Casino or by carefully selected third parties that provide services for the website.

Some cookies are required for the website to operate. Others are used only where permitted and, where applicable, after you have made a choice through the cookie banner or preference tool. The availability of particular cookie choices may depend on your browser, device, location, the services you use and the way the website is configured at the time of your visit.

Why cookies are used

To make the website available and allow pages, features and services to function as intended.
To support account access, session management and other security controls.
To remember settings, preferences and information that you choose to provide during a visit.
To help identify unusual activity, protect the website and reduce the risk of fraud, misuse or unauthorised access.
To understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed and whether links or features are working properly.
To improve website design, performance, content and usability.
To deliver relevant information or advertising where this is permitted and where the relevant settings or consent requirements apply.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support core website functions. They may be used to maintain a secure connection, remember an active session, route requests, protect forms, apply security measures and help the website respond to your actions. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not operate properly. Because they are needed for essential functions, they generally cannot be switched off through the website preference tool. You may be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent access to some services or cause features to stop working.

Functionality and preference cookies

These cookies remember choices made on the website, such as language, display or preference settings. They can help provide a more consistent experience and reduce the need to repeat the same selections. If you reject or delete these cookies, the website may still be available, but some preferences may not be retained and you may need to enter them again.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help Vinyl Casino understand how visitors interact with the website. Information may include the pages visited, the time spent on a page, general navigation patterns, browser type, device information and whether a page or feature appears to work correctly. This information is generally used in an aggregated or combined form to monitor performance, identify technical issues and improve the website. Analytics information may be collected by Vinyl Casino or by service providers acting on its behalf.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand which content is relevant and show information about Vinyl Casino on this or other digital services. These cookies may involve third-party advertising or measurement providers. They may recognise a browser or device across different websites or services, subject to the provider's own policies and the choices available to you.

Third-party cookies

Some website features may be supplied by third parties. For example, technology providers may support security, payments, analytics, customer assistance, content delivery or other website functions. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy information and contractual arrangements. Vinyl Casino does not control every cookie placed by a third party. You should review the relevant third party's information if you want to understand how it collects or uses data.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select categories of cookies. Your choices may be stored on your device so that the notice does not need to be shown repeatedly. If you use a different browser, device or cleared browsing data, you may be asked to make your choices again.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites, block third-party cookies or reject cookies generally. Browser controls differ, so you should check the help or settings area of your browser for instructions. You can also use privacy or tracking controls provided by your device or operating system where available.

Use the cookie preference tool on the website, where it is available.
Adjust your browser settings to accept, reject or delete cookies.
Clear stored cookies and website data from your device.
Use device-level privacy settings or other controls designed to limit tracking.
Review the privacy choices offered by relevant third-party providers.

Disabling optional cookies should not normally prevent you from viewing general website content. However, rejecting or deleting cookies may affect website performance, remove saved preferences, interrupt a session or limit access to certain features. Blocking all cookies may mean that some account, security or service functions cannot be provided correctly. If you continue to use the website after changing your settings, essential cookies may still be used where they are needed for operation, security or compliance.

Cookie choices are separate from other communications preferences. Managing cookies may not stop all communications, and unsubscribing from marketing communications may not remove cookies. You may need to manage each type of preference through the relevant control provided by Vinyl Casino, your browser or the applicable third-party service.

Information collected and how it is handled

Depending on the cookie or technology used, information collected may include an online identifier, IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, referring website, dates and times of visits, clicks, general interaction data and preferences. Some information may be linked with account or service information where this is necessary for security, functionality, legal obligations or another permitted purpose. The information collected through cookies is not necessarily personal information in every situation, but it may become personal information when combined with other data.

Vinyl Casino may use cookie information to operate and secure the website, provide requested services, remember settings, detect misuse, understand website performance, improve content, administer promotions or communications where applicable, and meet legal or regulatory obligations. Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the website, provided they are required to handle it appropriately and only for authorised purposes. Information may also be disclosed where required or permitted by law.

Cookie information may be processed or stored in Australia or another country where Vinyl Casino or its service providers operate. Where information is handled outside Australia, reasonable steps are taken to manage it in accordance with applicable privacy requirements. The Privacy Policy contains further information about the collection, use, disclosure, security and retention of personal information.

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain until they expire or are deleted. The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie, technical requirements, your settings and the practices of the relevant service provider. Vinyl Casino may change or remove cookies as website functions and service arrangements develop.

Updates and questions

This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies used, legal requirements, service providers or our privacy practices. The updated version will be made available on this page, together with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should review this page periodically, particularly if you change devices, browsers or cookie preferences.

If you have a question about cookies, your privacy choices or the way information is handled, please use the contact or support channel made available through the Vinyl Casino website. When making an enquiry, provide enough information for the request to be understood, but avoid sending passwords, payment details or other sensitive information unless specifically requested through a secure process.

By continuing to use the website, you acknowledge that essential cookies and similar technologies may be used to operate, secure and maintain the service. Optional cookies will be handled according to the choices available to you and the settings you select.
