Instant Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Instant Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use its website and related online services in Australia. It describes what these technologies do, the categories that may be used, and the choices available to you.
Cookies help Instant Casino operate its services, remember selected preferences, understand how visitors use the website, and present more relevant communications where permitted. This policy should be read together with the Instant Casino Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Instant Casino is intended for people aged 18 and over.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser or device during a visit or on a later occasion. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage and software development tools used in applications.
A cookie may be set by Instant Casino, in which case it is a first-party cookie, or by another service provider operating technology on the website, in which case it is a third-party cookie. Cookies can have different lifespans:
- Session cookies are removed when you close your browser or end the relevant session.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
Cookies do not normally contain information such as your account password. They may be associated with information held in your account or browser, depending on their purpose and the way the service is configured. Instant Casino uses cookies only for legitimate business, operational, security, analytical or promotional purposes that are relevant to its services.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used by Instant Casino may be grouped into the following categories. A single cookie can support more than one function, and the precise cookies available may change as the website, applications and service providers develop.
- Essential cookies support core website and account functions.
- Performance cookies provide information about website use and technical performance.
- Functional cookies remember choices and help personalise the user experience.
- Marketing cookies support advertising, campaign measurement and promotional relevance.
Some cookies may be used for security, fraud prevention, age and identity checks, session management or compliance-related controls. The availability of a consent choice depends on the cookie's purpose and the legal requirements applicable to the relevant activity.
Cookies Needed for Operation
Essential cookies are required for important parts of the Instant Casino website to work correctly. They can help maintain a secure session, remember authentication status, route requests to the appropriate systems, protect forms and detect unusual or potentially harmful activity.
These cookies may be used when you:
- Sign in to or manage an Instant Casino account.
- Move between secure pages during a session.
- Use account, payment, verification or gaming-related features.
- Apply security measures designed to protect the website and its users.
- Store a cookie preference or consent selection.
Because essential cookies support requested services and basic security, disabling them may prevent access to some features or cause the website to operate incorrectly. Where a cookie is not strictly necessary for a requested function, Instant Casino will handle it according to the applicable consent and privacy requirements.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies help Instant Casino understand how visitors interact with its website. They may show which pages are visited, how users move through the site, whether content loads correctly, and whether technical issues affect the user experience.
The information collected is generally used in aggregated or otherwise controlled form to improve navigation, page speed, reliability and service design. Examples of performance information may include:
- The page or feature used before and after a visit.
- The time taken for pages or functions to load.
- Errors or failed interactions encountered during use.
- Broad device, browser or language information.
Performance cookies are not intended to record the content of private communications or reveal your account password. They may still produce information that is considered personal information when combined with other data. Instant Casino manages such information in line with its Privacy Policy and applicable requirements.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember selections and settings so that you do not need to provide them repeatedly. They may support a smoother and more consistent experience when you return to Instant Casino.
Depending on the service available, these cookies may remember items such as display preferences, language or regional settings, layout choices, notification selections and other configuration options. They can also help provide features you have specifically requested.
Functional cookies are not essential in every case. If you decline or remove them, the website may still be available, but certain preferences may need to be selected again. A change to these cookies should not be treated as a substitute for updating account information directly through the relevant Instant Casino account settings.
Advertising and Promotions
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, limit repeated advertising, measure visits from advertising channels and present communications that are more relevant to your interests. They may be placed by Instant Casino or by approved advertising and measurement partners.
Marketing technologies can help Instant Casino assess whether a campaign has reached its intended audience and whether an advertisement has led to a visit or other permitted interaction. They may also support the delivery of information about Instant Casino through digital channels.
Instant Casino does not use marketing cookies to remove the importance of responsible gambling. Promotional activity remains subject to applicable internal controls and restrictions. Instant Casino is intended only for adults aged 18 and over, and marketing preferences do not change any age, account, verification or eligibility requirement.
Declining marketing cookies does not necessarily mean that you will see no advertising. It may mean that advertising is less tailored or that campaign measurement is limited. You can manage these cookies through the consent tools provided on the website or through your browser settings.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
When available, the Instant Casino cookie preference tool allows you to accept, refuse or adjust non-essential cookie categories. Your selections may be stored in a preference cookie so that the website can remember your decision. If you clear cookies, use another browser or change device, you may be asked to make the selection again.
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Block all cookies or selected categories.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Receive a notification before cookies are placed.
- Allow cookies only for selected websites.
The method differs between browsers and devices, so consult the relevant browser settings or help materials for instructions. Blocking essential cookies may affect login, account access, security controls or other requested features. Browser-based controls may also apply broadly and can remove preferences that are useful on other websites.
Where a third party offers its own opt-out mechanism, that choice may apply only to the relevant provider, browser or device. Cookie controls do not necessarily prevent all forms of data collection, such as information required for security, account administration or website operation.
Services Provided by Others
Instant Casino may use selected third-party providers to support hosting, security, analytics, performance measurement, advertising, payment-related functions or other website services. These providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies in accordance with their own policies and instructions from Instant Casino.
Third-party cookies may enable a provider to recognise your browser across different websites or services. The information available to a provider depends on the technology used, the settings applied and the provider's role. Instant Casino does not control every aspect of a third party's systems, and you should review the provider's privacy and cookie information where relevant.
Instant Casino takes reasonable steps to work with providers whose services are appropriate for the intended purpose. Third-party access may be limited by contractual, technical or organisational controls. Information collected through these technologies may be combined with other information held by the provider, subject to the provider's own legal obligations and privacy practices.
Changes to This Policy
Instant Casino may update this Cookies Policy when its website, technologies, service providers, business practices or applicable requirements change. A revised version will be made available through the relevant Instant Casino website or service and will show an updated effective date where appropriate.
If a change materially affects how non-essential cookies are used, Instant Casino may request a new preference or provide an updated notice through its cookie controls. Your continued use of the website after an update does not override any consent choice that is required under applicable law.
We recommend checking this page periodically so that you remain informed about the cookies and similar technologies used by Instant Casino. If you have a question about this policy or your privacy choices, please use the Instant Casino contact page.
