Cookies Policy | Westace Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support features during a visit. Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may sometimes be linked with account, device or usage information that can identify a person.

Westace Casino may use cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and similar technologies. These technologies can operate when you visit our website, open a page, use an account area or interact with website content. The exact technologies used may change over time as the website, security requirements and services develop.

Some cookies are placed by Westace Casino, while others may be placed by service providers that support website operations, security, analytics, communications or advertising. Where third-party technologies are used, the relevant provider may process information in accordance with its own privacy notice or terms. We encourage you to review those notices where they are made available.

How long cookies remain on your device

A session cookie generally remains on your device only while your browser is open or until the relevant session ends. A persistent cookie may remain for a longer period or until it expires or is deleted. The duration can vary depending on the purpose of the cookie, your browser settings and the provider responsible for placing it. You can usually remove stored cookies through your browser or device settings.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies may be needed for the website to function properly. They can support page navigation, account access, secure areas, fraud prevention, session management and basic website security. They may also help us remember information needed to deliver a service you have requested. Because these cookies can be essential to the operation and security of the website, they may not always be available for complete opt-out through a cookie banner.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. They can help provide a more convenient and consistent experience when you return to the website. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and certain features may work differently.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website. They can provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the website, whether pages load correctly and whether features are being used. This information may be used in an aggregated or otherwise limited form to improve performance, content, navigation and the overall user experience.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand interactions with promotional content or provide content that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be placed by Westace Casino or by advertising and technology partners. They may involve information about browsing activity across websites or services, subject to the settings and terms that apply to those services.

Preference and responsible use features

Some technologies may support account preferences, access controls, age or identity verification processes, location-related checks, safer gambling tools or other compliance and responsible use features. The information used for these purposes may be handled with additional safeguards and may also be covered by our Privacy Policy and account terms.

Why cookies may be used

To make the website available and allow pages and features to operate as intended.
To maintain secure sessions and help protect accounts, transactions and website systems.
To remember settings and choices so that you do not need to enter them again during every visit.
To understand website traffic, page performance and general patterns of use.
To identify technical errors and help investigate, prevent or detect suspicious activity.
To support account access, verification, service administration and compliance processes.
To measure the effectiveness of communications, campaigns and website content.
To provide or assess relevant advertising where this is permitted and where the relevant preferences allow it.
To improve the design, accessibility, functionality and reliability of the website.
To produce reports and statistics using information that may be aggregated, de-identified or otherwise limited.

Cookies may collect information such as an IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, visit times, clicks, language preferences and technical events. The information collected depends on the cookie and the way you use the website. We do not use this policy to state that every listed technology is active at all times. Technologies may be added, removed or changed as operational needs develop.

Cookie information may be combined with other information held by Westace Casino where this is permitted and reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. Handling of personal information, including information collected through cookies, is explained in our Privacy Policy. If a cookie or similar technology is used by an independent third party, that party may handle information under its own policies.

Managing your cookie choices

When available, our cookie preference tool may allow you to accept or reject certain categories of non-essential cookies. Your choices may apply only to the browser or device used to make them. If you use another device, clear your browser data or access the website through a different browser, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block some or all cookies, delete cookies when you close the browser or receive a notice before a cookie is stored. Device settings may provide similar controls for mobile applications or other connected services.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the way the website operates. For example, you may need to re-enter information, lose saved preferences or be unable to use account and security features. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies should not normally prevent access to basic website content, but the result may depend on the technology and browser settings involved.

Your choices and consent

Where consent is required for a particular cookie or similar technology, we may ask for consent through a banner, preference centre or another notice. You may be able to change your choices later through the same tool or by adjusting your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal and may not remove information already collected where retention is permitted or required.

Some website functions may rely on cookies that are necessary for security, account operation or delivery of a service you request. These technologies may continue to operate even if you reject optional cookies. Cookie controls do not necessarily prevent all forms of data collection or all communications. Other settings, including account, device, browser and marketing preferences, may also apply.

Third-party services, updates and questions

Westace Casino may use third-party providers to host, secure, analyse, maintain or improve parts of the website. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies on our behalf or in connection with their services. Third-party services can change their technology, purposes and cookie duration independently. We take reasonable steps to work with providers that are suitable for the relevant service, but their own terms and privacy information may also apply.

Cookies and related technologies may involve the processing or storage of information in countries outside Australia, depending on the services used and the location of the providers. Any handling of personal information is subject to applicable requirements and the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use this policy to promise that all information will remain in Australia.

Policy changes

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, service providers, legal obligations or cookie practices change. The updated version will be made available on this page, with the revised date or other notice where appropriate. You should review this page from time to time so that you understand the current position. Continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law.

Questions and privacy requests

If you have a question about cookies, want to understand how information is handled or wish to make a privacy-related request, please use the current contact or support channel provided on the Westace Casino website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an initial enquiry. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests or changing information connected with an account.

This Cookies Policy is intended to provide general information about cookies and similar technologies used in connection with the website. It does not replace the Privacy Policy, website terms, account conditions or any specific notice shown at the time information is collected. If there is an inconsistency, the more specific notice may apply to the relevant activity, subject to applicable law.
