Cookie Policy

Effective date: 12 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Australian Online Pokies uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or phone) by websites you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them every time you come back or move between pages. Most modern websites use them, including this one.

Beyond standard cookies, similar technologies include local storage, pixels, web beacons, and SDK identifiers. References to "cookies" in this policy cover these technologies too.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, security, and remembering whether you've accepted our cookie notice. The Site will not work properly without them.

Legal basis: necessary for the operation of the Site. These cookies cannot be switched off.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with the Site so we can improve it. They collect aggregated, anonymised data about the number of visitors, which pages are most popular, how visitors arrive at the Site, and any errors encountered.

Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Marketing and affiliate tracking cookies

These cookies track clicks from this Site to the operators we recommend, so that affiliate commissions can be attributed correctly. They may also be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to limit how often you see certain promotional content.

Legal basis: your consent.

Functional cookies

These remember choices you make to enhance the experience, such as your language preference or whether you've dismissed a banner. They are not strictly essential but the Site would feel less helpful without them.

Legal basis: your consent or our legitimate interest in providing a usable experience.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use to operate the Site. These include:

These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We have no control over the cookies they set and how they use the data — please refer to their respective policies for full information.
