Cookies Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar data files placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and provide a more consistent experience. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of a browsing session, while others may remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them.

We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other online identifiers. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and these related technologies together as cookies. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be combined with account, device or usage information where this is permitted and necessary for the relevant purpose.

Cookies can help Whackaus Casino keep the website working, remember choices, understand how visitors use the site and support relevant communications. The cookies used on a particular page may depend on the features available, the device or browser being used and whether you have signed in to an account.

How long cookies remain

• Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser or end your visit.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for longer, subject to their purpose, settings and expiry period.
• Some cookies may be placed by Whackaus Casino, while others may be placed by service providers that support website functions.
• The duration of a cookie can vary and may be changed when the website, technology or business requirements are updated.

Types of cookies we may use

The categories below describe the main purposes for which cookies may be used. A cookie can sometimes serve more than one purpose. The actual cookies available on the website may change over time as features, service providers and technical requirements change.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may help pages load correctly, maintain a secure session, remember basic navigation information and support access to account areas. They can also assist with security controls, fraud prevention, traffic management and the reliable operation of forms or other essential features. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly.

Necessary cookies may also help apply security settings, identify unusual activity and protect the website and users from misuse. Because these cookies support essential functions, they may operate even when optional cookies are disabled, subject to applicable requirements and available settings.

Functional and preference cookies

Functional cookies help remember choices and settings so that your experience is more convenient. For example, they may remember language or display preferences, keep selected options available during a visit or support the way a feature operates. If these cookies are disabled, the website may still be available, but some preferences may need to be selected again.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies provide information about how visitors use the website. They may help us understand which pages are visited, how users move through the site, whether a page works as expected and where improvements may be useful. The information may be collected in an aggregated or otherwise limited form, depending on the tool and settings used.

Performance information can help us identify technical errors, improve page speed, make content easier to use and assess the effectiveness of website changes. Analytics cookies are not intended to be used to make gambling decisions for you. Their purpose is to help understand and improve the operation and presentation of the website.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand whether communications are relevant and show content based on general browsing activity. These cookies may be placed by Whackaus Casino or by third-party advertising and measurement providers acting on the relevant service.

Marketing cookies are optional where the applicable settings provide that choice. Turning them off may reduce personalised content or make it harder to measure advertising activity, but it should not prevent access to essential website functions. Disabling marketing cookies does not necessarily mean that you will see no advertising online; it may instead mean that advertising is less tailored to your interests.

Third-party cookies and similar technologies

Some website functions may be supported by third-party providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver services such as analytics, security, embedded content, technical performance, advertising measurement or other website features. A third party may process information in accordance with its own privacy notice and cookie practices.

Whackaus Casino does not control every cookie used by an external provider. We take reasonable steps to use services that are appropriate for the relevant website purpose, but third-party practices may change independently. You should review the information made available by the relevant provider if you want to understand how it handles device or browsing information.

When you interact with third-party content, links or services, information may be collected directly by that provider. The provider may use its own identifiers, settings and retention periods. The availability of a third-party feature does not mean that Whackaus Casino endorses every separate service or its privacy practices. Any external service should be used in accordance with its own terms.

Information that may be collected

• The type of device, operating system and browser used to access the website.
• General location information, such as an approximate region derived from a device or network.
• Pages viewed, links selected, features used and the timing or duration of a visit.
• Technical information, including device identifiers, IP address, language settings and referral information.
• Cookie choices, consent preferences and information about whether certain content or services were displayed.

The information collected through cookies may be used for security, technical support, reporting, service improvement, website administration and other purposes described in our Privacy Policy. We aim to collect and use information only where it is relevant to the purpose for which it is needed.

Your choices and cookie controls

When available, the website cookie settings tool allows you to review and manage optional cookie categories. You can choose whether to allow certain cookies and may be able to change your preferences later. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember them. If you clear your browser data, change device or browser settings, or use a different device, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block some or all cookies, delete existing cookies and receive a warning before a cookie is placed. The steps differ between browsers and devices, so you should refer to the settings or help information provided by the manufacturer or browser provider.

1. Review the cookie options available on the website and select the categories you wish to allow.
2. Use your browser settings to block, restrict or delete cookies.
3. Review the privacy and cookie controls offered by any third-party service you choose to use.
4. Return to the cookie settings area when you want to change or withdraw an optional preference.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the availability, security or performance of some website features. In particular, account functions, saved preferences, interactive content and other parts of the site may not operate as intended if necessary cookies are restricted. Browser controls may not disable every type of similar technology, and a setting applied to one browser or device may not apply elsewhere.

Privacy and responsible use

Cookies are only one part of the information used when a website is accessed. If you create or use an account, information may also be handled under the Privacy Policy and applicable account terms. Information connected with account security, identity checks, fraud prevention, responsible gambling tools or legal obligations may be processed separately from optional analytics or marketing cookies.

Whackaus Casino encourages players to use the website responsibly and to review the available responsible gambling information before playing. Cookie preferences do not replace account controls, responsible gambling settings or any other safety feature. If you share a device with another person, consider using separate browser profiles and signing out of your account when you finish.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when the website, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or operational practices change. An updated version will be made available on this page, together with a revised date or other indication where appropriate. The updated policy will apply from the time it is published unless a different effective date is stated.

You should review this page from time to time so that you remain aware of how cookies may be used. If you continue to use the website after an update, this may indicate that you have read the updated information. Where consent is required for optional cookies, the relevant consent or preference controls will continue to apply.
