Cookies Policy | My Empire Casino

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or another internet-enabled device. They allow the website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies are commonly used across the internet and can help websites function properly, understand how visitors use them and provide a more relevant experience.

Some cookies are set directly by My Empire Casino, while others may be set by service providers or other third parties that support website functions. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits and device identifiers. These technologies can collect information about your browser, device, general location, website activity and interactions with online content.

A cookie may be a session cookie or a persistent cookie. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active depends on its purpose and configuration.

How cookies support the website

Cookies can make it possible for you to move between pages, sign in securely, maintain a session and use features that require information to be remembered. They can also help us identify technical issues, protect the website from misuse and understand which pages or functions are useful to visitors. Without some cookies, parts of the website may not operate as intended.

Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on the website may be grouped into the categories below. The exact cookies and technologies in use may change as the website, its features and its supporting services develop. A cookie may have more than one function, and the same category may include cookies provided by My Empire Casino or by an authorised service provider.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support account access, security checks, session management, page navigation and other features that you request. They can also help us remember choices that are essential to delivering a service. Because these cookies support the operation and security of the website, they may not always be available for opt-out through ordinary cookie controls.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies help remember choices you make, such as language, display settings, region or other preferences. They may allow the website to provide enhanced features and reduce the need for you to repeat the same selections. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and certain functions may be less convenient.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about pages viewed, links selected, time spent on a page, navigation paths, browser type, device type and general usage patterns. We use this information to assess performance, identify errors, improve content and make the website easier to use. Analytics information is generally considered in combination with information from other visits rather than used to identify you directly.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

Certain cookies and similar technologies may be used to help protect accounts, transactions and the website. They can assist with detecting unusual activity, preventing automated misuse, supporting identity and age checks where required, and investigating suspected fraud or other prohibited activity. Disabling these technologies may affect your ability to use some website features.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where applicable, advertising or marketing technologies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand the effectiveness of communications and show content that may be more relevant to your interests. These technologies may be provided by third parties. We do not treat the use of marketing cookies as permission to send you marketing communications where separate consent is required. You can manage available choices through the cookie controls provided on the website or through your browser.

How we use cookie information

Information collected through cookies may be used for purposes such as operating the website, remembering settings, maintaining security, supporting responsible access to gambling services, improving website performance and understanding general visitor behaviour. It may also help us review technical logs, investigate faults, protect users and comply with legal, regulatory and internal requirements.

Cookie information may be combined with information you provide directly, information generated when you use the website and information obtained from permitted sources. We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements. The information collected depends on the cookie, the service involved, your device settings and the features you use.

Third-party providers may process information on our behalf or provide services integrated with the website. These providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies subject to their own privacy practices. Where appropriate, we take steps to require service providers to handle information in a manner consistent with applicable obligations and the purpose for which it was collected.

Personal information and gambling services

Cookies do not normally contain information such as your password in plain text. However, cookie information may be linked with an account, device or online activity in some circumstances. We may use information associated with your website activity to support account security, age and identity processes, responsible gambling measures, customer support, compliance reviews and the prevention of prohibited conduct. These activities are managed in accordance with applicable requirements and our published terms.

Your choices and managing cookies

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 them or select particular categories. Your choices may be stored so that they can be remembered on later visits. If you change your mind, you can use the available cookie settings link or preference tool to review your selections where that option is provided.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. You may be able to set your browser to notify you before a cookie is placed or to reject cookies automatically. Instructions vary between browsers and devices, so you should refer to the help section for the browser you use.

Review the cookie banner or preference centre when it appears.
Choose whether to allow optional cookies and similar technologies.
Use browser settings to delete existing cookies or prevent new cookies from being stored.
Review device settings where applications or mobile technologies are involved.
Repeat your choices on other browsers or devices if you use more than one.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the way the website works. You may need to enter information again, lose saved preferences or be unable to use certain account, security or interactive functions. Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are required for essential services. If you block all cookies, some parts of the website may be unavailable or may not perform reliably.

Do-not-track signals

Some browsers and devices offer a do-not-track setting. Because there is no single industry standard for interpreting these signals, the website may not respond to every do-not-track request in the same way. You can use the cookie controls and browser settings described above to manage optional cookies.

Updates and further information

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies we use, our service providers, legal requirements or our privacy practices. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised date where appropriate. You should check this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies are used.

This policy is intended to provide general information and does not describe every individual cookie or technical identifier that may be used at all times. A cookie preference tool, where available, may provide more current information about categories and choices. Technical cookies can change when new website features are introduced, existing services are replaced or security measures are improved.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, the use of cookies or the handling of personal information, please use the contact or support options made available on the My Empire Casino website. Do not include passwords, payment details or other sensitive information unless it is requested through an approved and secure channel.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing any applicable notice, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used as described in this policy, subject to the choices available to you and any permissions required by law. Your use of the website remains subject to the applicable terms and responsible gambling information.
