Cookies Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies may help a website function correctly, improve performance, remember your preferences and provide information about how the website is used.

Some cookies are placed directly by Shardbet Casino. Other cookies may be placed by third-party service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other services. These third parties may process information collected through cookies in accordance with their own privacy notices and applicable requirements.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are normally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active can vary depending on its purpose and the settings of your browser or device.

We may also use technologies that perform similar functions to cookies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and device-related identifiers. In this policy, we generally refer to all of these technologies as cookies unless a different description is necessary.

2. How we use cookies

Cookies may be used for several different purposes. The cookies used on a particular page or service may change as our website, features and service providers develop. We aim to use cookies only where they support a legitimate website function, improve the user experience, assist with security or help us understand how our services are used.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support the basic operation of the website and cannot usually be disabled through our cookie controls. They may be used to maintain a secure session, enable account access, remember security settings, process requests, manage traffic and protect the website from suspected misuse. Without these cookies, some website functions may not work properly.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference cookies help remember choices you make, such as language, region, display settings or other interface preferences. Functionality cookies may help provide features you request and make future visits more convenient. If you reject these cookies, some preferences may not be remembered and certain features may be less tailored to your needs.

Performance and analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information such as the pages visited, the features used, the time spent on a page, navigation patterns, error messages and general device or browser information. We use this information in an aggregated or otherwise reviewed form to monitor performance, identify technical issues and improve the website.

Security, fraud prevention and compliance cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may help us verify activity, protect accounts, detect unusual behaviour, prevent fraud and support responsible operation of our services. They may also assist with age, identity, location or access checks where such checks are required for a particular service or by applicable law. These technologies are not a substitute for other verification or compliance processes.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where enabled and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, understand how visitors interact with promotional content and show information that may be more relevant to their interests. These cookies may be placed by us or by approved third parties. We do not rely on marketing cookies to provide essential account or gameplay functions.

3. Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, this tool allows you to accept optional cookies, reject them or choose which categories to allow. Your choices may be stored in a preference cookie so that the notice does not appear every time you visit.

You can usually change your choices at any time by using the cookie settings available on the website. If a settings link or tool is not visible, you can manage cookies through your browser or device settings. The method differs between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant help information for your chosen browser or operating system.

• Block all cookies through your browser settings.
• Delete cookies that have already been stored on your device.
• Allow cookies only from selected websites.
• Receive a notification before cookies are stored, where your browser supports this option.
• Use private or incognito browsing features, subject to the limitations of those features.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect how the website works. You may be unable to sign in, use account features, maintain a secure session or access particular services. Blocking optional cookies should not normally prevent access to essential website functions, but some features may be less personalised or convenient.

Your cookie choices may apply only to the browser or device used to make those choices. 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.

4. Information collected through cookies

Depending on the type of cookie and how the website is used, information collected may include an online identifier, device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, referring website, pages viewed, links selected, dates and times of visits, general usage patterns and technical information about website performance. Cookies may also help remember whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies.

Cookie information may be combined with information you provide directly or information collected when you use our services. For example, technical information may be associated with an account session to help maintain security or provide a requested function. We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

We do not intend for cookies to collect more information than is reasonably required for their stated purpose. However, information transmitted over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use a current browser, keep your device protected and avoid sharing account credentials or other sensitive information.

Third-party services

We may use third-party providers for services such as website hosting, security, analytics, customer support, communications, payment processing or marketing measurement. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies on our behalf or in connection with their services. Their handling of information may be governed by their own policies, and you should review those policies where appropriate.

Third-party cookies may be subject to controls provided by the relevant third party, your browser or our cookie preference tool. We do not control all third-party technologies and cannot guarantee that every third party will offer the same settings or controls. Where required, we take steps to ensure that third-party activities are managed in accordance with applicable law and our contractual arrangements.

5. Updates and further information

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technologies, service providers, business practices or legal obligations. When we make changes, we will publish the updated version on this page and revise the date or other notice information where appropriate. You should review this page periodically to remain informed about our use of cookies.

This policy is intended to provide general information about cookies and similar technologies. It does not describe every cookie that may be used at every time or on every part of the website. The availability of particular cookies may depend on the page you visit, the features you use, your location, your device and your consent choices.

For information about how Shardbet Casino collects, uses, stores and discloses personal information, please read our Privacy Policy. If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or wish to exercise an applicable privacy right, use the available contact or support options provided on the website. We will handle requests in accordance with applicable law and may need to verify your identity before responding.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing the relevant cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be used in accordance with your selected preferences and this policy. Essential cookies may continue to operate where necessary to provide a secure and functional service.
