Cookies Policy | Fatpirate 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 the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies can help a website function properly, remember preferences and understand how people use its pages.

Some cookies are set directly by Fatpirate Casino, while others may be set by service providers or third parties that support website functions, security, analytics, advertising or other services. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits. These technologies may collect information about your device, browser, activities on the website and interactions with our communications.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, such as your name or contact details. However, information obtained through cookies may be linked with other information we hold about you. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Your agreement

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Subject to applicable law, selecting an acceptance option or continuing to use the website after receiving the notice may indicate your consent to the use of non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time through the available cookie settings or by adjusting your browser settings.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support account access, session management, security, fraud prevention, navigation and the delivery of requested services. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work as intended. Because they are necessary for operation, they may not be available for disabling through ordinary cookie preference tools, although your browser may allow you to block them.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices and preferences, such as language, region, display settings or information entered during a visit. They can make the website more convenient and may help provide a more consistent experience when you return. If you reject these cookies, some preferences may not be remembered and certain features may be less personalised.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about pages visited, links selected, time spent on pages, loading performance, error messages and general website activity. The information can be used to measure performance, identify technical issues and improve content, design and navigation. Analytics information is generally assessed in aggregated or otherwise controlled form.

Security and verification technologies

We may use cookies and related technologies to help protect accounts, detect unusual activity, reduce fraud, verify interactions and maintain the integrity of the website. These technologies may assess device or session information and may be used alongside other security measures. Blocking security-related technologies may affect access to some services or result in additional verification.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help us measure campaigns, understand visits from promotional channels and provide information or offers that are more relevant to your interests. These cookies may also be used to limit how often an advertisement is shown or to assess whether a communication has been opened or acted on. We do not use cookies to remove your responsibility to make informed gambling decisions.

Third-party cookies

Some third-party providers may place cookies or use similar technologies when their services appear on the website. Examples may include analytics, security, payment, content, customer support or marketing providers. These providers may process information under their own privacy notices and terms. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party information before allowing optional technologies.

Why we use cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for a range of legitimate business and operational purposes. Their use will depend on the website feature, the service being provided, your preferences and applicable legal requirements.

To operate, maintain and secure the website and its services.
To keep you signed in during an active session where this feature is available.
To remember selected settings, preferences and information entered into forms.
To support responsible access controls, identity checks, age verification and account security where applicable.
To detect suspicious behaviour, prevent fraud and investigate technical or security incidents.
To understand website traffic, usage patterns and performance.
To test improvements to website features, content and functionality.
To personalise parts of the website where you have allowed optional cookies.
To measure the effectiveness of communications, campaigns or promotional activity.
To comply with legal, regulatory, security and record-keeping obligations.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them. The period may vary depending on the purpose of the cookie, the settings selected and the provider responsible for it.

We may also use first-party and third-party identifiers to understand whether a device has previously visited the website, to maintain service continuity or to protect the website. The information collected may include an internet protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed and dates or times of activity.

Managing your cookie choices

You can manage optional cookies through the cookie banner, preference centre or settings tool made available on the website. The options presented may differ depending on your device, browser, location and the technologies being used. If you have previously selected preferences, you may be able to reopen the settings tool to review or change them.

You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block all cookies, block cookies from particular websites or receive a warning before cookies are stored. Instructions vary between browsers and devices, so you should refer to the browser provider's help information for current guidance.

If you disable or delete cookies, the website may not operate fully. You may need to enter information again, lose saved preferences or experience problems with account access, security checks, navigation or other functions. Disabling a cookie does not necessarily delete information that was collected before the change. You may need to clear existing cookies separately.

Cookie choices are generally linked to a particular browser or device. If you use more than one browser, device or profile, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one. Removing or resetting cookies may also remove the record of your previous choices, meaning the cookie notice may appear again.

Do not track signals

Some browsers and devices offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to these signals, the website may not respond to them in every situation. You can use the cookie preference tool and browser controls described above to manage optional cookies.

Mobile applications and devices

If Fatpirate Casino services are made available through a mobile application or another device environment, similar technologies may be used instead of, or in addition to, browser cookies. Device settings may provide controls for advertising identifiers, permissions and data collection. The available controls will depend on your operating system and device.

Privacy, updates and contact information

Information collected through cookies may be used, stored, disclosed or otherwise handled as described in our Privacy Policy. That policy contains further information about the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, how we protect it and the rights or choices available to you.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or our practices. When we make a change, we will update the version displayed on the website. Your continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, wish to raise a privacy concern or need assistance with cookie preferences, please use the contact method or support channel made available on the website. Do not send sensitive account or payment information through an unapproved channel.

Cookies are only one part of your online privacy and security. You should keep your devices and browsers updated, use strong account credentials, avoid sharing login information and take care when accessing gambling services on shared or public devices. If gambling stops being enjoyable or begins to cause concern, consider using the responsible gambling tools and support information available through the website.
