Cookies Policy | My Empire Casino

About cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support the delivery of online services. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, although information collected through cookies may sometimes be associated with other information held about you.

My Empire Casino may use cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other similar technologies. In this policy, these technologies are generally referred to as cookies. They may be used on our website, in online applications, in communications or on pages operated by service providers on our behalf. The particular cookies used may change over time as our website, technology and services develop.

Some cookies are placed by us, while others may be placed by third parties that provide services such as website analytics, security, advertising, payment support or technical hosting. Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to that party’s own privacy or cookie information. We recommend reviewing third-party information where it is made available.

Cookies can be temporary or persistent. Session cookies generally remain on your device only while your browser is open and are removed when the browsing session ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them. The period for which a cookie remains active can vary according to its purpose and the settings of the relevant technology.

Why cookies may be used

Cookies help websites work consistently and can make it easier for visitors to move between pages. They may remember language, region, display or accessibility choices, help keep a secure session active, identify technical errors and provide information about how a website is used. Without certain cookies, some features may not operate correctly or may be unavailable.

Cookies may also support account and gaming-related functions where those functions are available. For example, they may help maintain a secure login session, preserve a page state, support identity or access controls and reduce the risk of misuse. Cookies do not replace any identity, age, account, payment or responsible gambling checks that may be required under applicable rules or our terms.

Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on a website can be grouped into different categories. A cookie may serve more than one purpose, and the categories below are provided as a general explanation rather than a complete list of every technology that may be used at any particular time.

Strictly necessary cookies: These support core website functions, including page navigation, account access, session management, security controls and the prevention or detection of suspicious activity. They may be required for the website or certain services to operate.
Functionality cookies: These remember choices or settings, such as language, region, display preferences or other selections that can make future visits more convenient. If these cookies are disabled, some personalised features may not work as expected.
Performance and analytics cookies: These collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the site and whether an error occurs. The information can help us understand performance and improve content, navigation and technical reliability.
Security and fraud-prevention technologies: These help protect accounts, transactions and website services from unauthorised access, automated abuse, fraud and other harmful activity. They may assess device or session information and may operate in the background when you use relevant services.
Advertising and measurement cookies: Where used, these may help measure the performance of marketing campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand general audience activity or present information that is more relevant to a visitor. They may be operated by advertising or measurement partners.
Preference and consent cookies: These may remember choices you make about cookies and similar technologies so that your selections can be applied on later visits. They do not necessarily store the full details of your preference record on the device.

Information collected through cookies may include an IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, referring pages, dates and times of visits, preferences, session identifiers and information about interactions with the website. We may use this information in an aggregated or combined form. The information collected will depend on the technology involved and your settings.

Some cookies may be used to help us understand whether website content is useful, whether links or pages are working as intended and whether technical changes have improved the user experience. Analytics information may be reviewed in reports or combined with other information for operational, security or service-improvement purposes.

Cookies may also help us recognise that a device has previously visited the website. This does not necessarily mean that we know the identity of the person using the device. Where information is linked with an account or other personal information, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable requirements.

Your cookie choices and browser settings

When you first visit the website, a cookie notice or preference tool may allow you to choose which optional categories of cookies you accept. Your choices may be saved through a preference cookie or another similar method. You can revisit the available controls where they are provided and change your selection. Changing your preferences does not normally affect cookies that are strictly necessary for basic website operation.

You can also manage cookies through the settings of your web browser or device. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. Some browsers let you block cookies from particular websites, while others provide broader controls. Your device may provide additional settings for tracking, advertising or local storage. The available options depend on the browser and device you use.

How to change browser settings

Open the settings or privacy controls in your browser or device.
Review the available cookie, tracking, site data or storage options.
Choose whether to allow, block, delete or restrict the relevant technologies.
Close and reopen your browser if required, then revisit the website to confirm that your settings have been applied.

If you block or delete cookies, some website features may not function properly. You may need to enter information again, repeat certain preferences, sign in again or experience reduced functionality. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies may not stop all advertising, but it can affect how advertising is measured or selected. Blocking cookies does not necessarily prevent all data collection by other technical means.

Some services may use controls provided by external platforms. Those controls may operate separately from our website cookie settings and may have their own instructions. If an external service is used, its collection and use of information may be governed by its own terms and privacy information. We do not control the settings or practices of every third party.

Consent and necessary technologies

Where consent is required for optional cookies, we will seek consent through the relevant notice or preference tool. You may withdraw or change consent using the available controls. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred before the change. Certain cookies may be used without consent where they are necessary for a service you have requested, for website security or where another lawful basis applies.

If you use more than one browser, device or profile, your cookie choices may need to be applied separately in each environment. Deleting a preference cookie may also remove the record of your previous selection, meaning that the cookie notice could appear again on a later visit.

Privacy, security and changes to this policy

Information collected through cookies may be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. That policy explains more about how personal information may be collected, used, stored, disclosed and managed. It also provides information about privacy choices and rights that may apply to you under Australian privacy law or other applicable requirements.

We take reasonable steps to protect information handled through our website and services. However, no website, network or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use a current browser, keep your device and software updated, protect your account credentials and avoid using gambling services on a device or network that you do not trust.

Cookies may be stored or accessed in locations outside Australia where this is required by a service provider or technology. Where information is handled by third parties, the relevant provider may process it under its own arrangements. The safeguards and legal requirements that apply can depend on the nature of the information, the service involved and the location of the processing.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use, legal requirements, security practices or user choices. When the policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised date or other suitable indication where appropriate. You should check this page periodically so you remain aware of the current position.

If you have a question about cookies, privacy or the choices available on the website, please use the contact or support options provided on the website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an online enquiry. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request concerning an account or personal information.

This policy is intended to provide general information about the use of cookies and similar technologies by My Empire Casino. It does not change any applicable terms, privacy notices, account requirements or responsible gambling information. If there is a conflict between this policy and a specific notice displayed when a technology is used, the more specific notice may apply to that technology.
