Instant Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Instant Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our online casino services in Australia. It describes what these technologies do, the categories we may use, and the choices available to you.
Cookies help Instant Casino operate a secure, reliable and user-friendly platform for customers aged 18 and over. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Where required, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits and local storage, may perform comparable functions and are also covered by this policy where relevant.
A cookie may be placed by Instant Casino or by a service provider acting on our behalf. Cookies can be session-based, meaning they expire when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Cookies do not normally identify you by name on their own. They may be associated with information connected to your account, browser or device when this is necessary to provide services, prevent fraud, understand platform use or remember your preferences.
Cookie Categories
Instant Casino uses cookies for different purposes. Some are needed for the platform to function, while others support analysis, personalisation or advertising. The availability and duration of individual cookies may change as our services and technology develop.
- Essential cookies support core features, security and account access.
- Performance cookies provide information about how visitors use the platform.
- Functional cookies remember choices and help personalise the user experience.
- Marketing cookies may help measure campaigns and deliver more relevant advertising.
Some cookies may belong to more than one practical category. For example, a cookie could help remember a preference while also providing aggregated information about website usage. Cookie consent tools may display more detailed information about the providers, purposes and retention periods that apply at the time of your visit.
Cookies Needed for Operation
Essential cookies are required for Instant Casino to provide important website and account functions. Without them, certain services may not work correctly, and some areas of the platform may be unavailable.
These cookies may be used to:
- Maintain a secure connection while you browse.
- Support registration, login and account session management.
- Protect the platform against suspicious activity, abuse and fraud.
- Remember information needed to process navigation or account requests.
- Maintain website stability, load distribution and technical performance.
- Apply security controls and help identify unusual access patterns.
Essential cookies are generally used on the basis that they are necessary to provide a service requested by you or to support the security and operation of the platform. They cannot always be disabled through the cookie preference tool. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so could prevent login, gameplay, account management or other functions from operating properly.
Measuring Platform Performance
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors interact with Instant Casino. They help us understand which pages are visited, how users move through the platform, whether features operate as expected and where improvements may be needed.
The information collected may include general details such as pages viewed, approximate visit duration, links selected, browser type, device information and technical error messages. Where possible, this information is used in an aggregated or pseudonymous form rather than to identify an individual directly.
Performance information can help Instant Casino to:
- Monitor website speed, availability and reliability.
- Detect broken links, technical errors and failed processes.
- Assess the usefulness of new features or page layouts.
- Understand general traffic patterns and customer journeys.
- Improve navigation and make the platform easier to use.
Where these cookies are not essential, you may be asked to provide consent before they are activated. Refusing them will not usually prevent access to the main casino services, although it may limit our ability to identify and resolve technical issues based on usage information.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide a more consistent experience. They may support settings selected during a visit or help the platform respond to information already provided through your browser or account.
Depending on the available features, functional cookies may remember:
- Language, region or display preferences.
- Cookie consent choices.
- Selected interface settings and viewing options.
- Information used to keep a session consistent.
- Preferences that reduce the need to repeat the same selection.
These cookies are designed to improve convenience rather than to provide core security or account functions. If you decline them, the platform may still be available, but some preferences may need to be selected again during future visits or certain personalised features may not operate as intended.
Advertising and Promotion Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional activity and to help present advertising that is more relevant to visitors. They may record information about browsing activity across a website or, where enabled by a third-party provider, across different websites and services.
Instant Casino may use this category to:
- Measure visits generated by marketing campaigns.
- Understand whether promotional content has been viewed or selected.
- Limit repeated advertisements where appropriate.
- Assess the performance of advertising placements.
- Support the delivery of promotional messages based on general interests.
Marketing cookies are not necessary for basic access to the casino. They will be used only where permitted and, where consent is required, after you have made a relevant choice. Declining marketing cookies does not necessarily remove all advertising. It generally means that advertising is less likely to be tailored to your browsing activity.
Marketing activity is subject to applicable promotional rules, responsible gambling safeguards and account preferences. Instant Casino does not use cookies as a substitute for age or identity verification controls.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
You can manage non-essential cookies through the cookie preference settings made available on the Instant Casino platform. Your choices may be saved so that you are not repeatedly asked to make the same selection, although you may need to review them again if you clear cookies, change devices or use a different browser.
Most browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You may be able to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, receive a notification before a cookie is stored or allow cookies only from selected websites. Instructions differ between browsers and devices, so consult the relevant help or settings menu.
Before disabling cookies, consider the possible effects:
- Essential account or security functions may not work correctly.
- Some preferences may not be retained.
- Website performance may be harder for us to measure.
- Promotional content may be less relevant to your interests.
- Your consent choice may not be remembered after cookies are deleted.
Changing browser settings does not necessarily remove information already collected before the change. You may also need to manage cookies separately on each browser and device. If you have questions about your choices or need assistance using the platform, please visit the Instant Casino contact page.
Cookies Set by Other Providers
Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed by third parties that provide services used by Instant Casino. These providers may support security, analytics, website functionality, payment-related processes, advertising measurement or other technical operations.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy notices and cookie policies. Their technologies may be subject to separate retention periods and may offer their own controls for managing consent or opting out. Instant Casino does not control every aspect of a third party's technology, so you should review the relevant provider information where it is made available.
Third-party cookies may be used only for approved business purposes and in accordance with applicable consent requirements. They do not automatically give a provider unrestricted access to your casino account. Access to account information is limited by the arrangements and safeguards that apply to the relevant service.
Links to third-party websites or services may be provided for convenience. Visiting those services is governed by their own terms and privacy practices, not this policy. You should check their information before submitting personal details or accepting their cookies.
When This Policy Changes
Instant Casino may update this Cookies Policy when our website, services, technology, legal obligations or cookie practices change. The latest version will be made available on the relevant page of the platform and will show the date on which it was last revised, where appropriate.
We encourage you to review this policy from time to time so that you understand how cookies are used and which choices are available. If a change materially affects the way consent is obtained or how non-essential cookies are used, we will provide information or request consent where required.
Continuing to use Instant Casino after an updated policy has been published does not override any consent requirement. Your available choices remain subject to the cookie controls presented on the platform and to the settings provided by your browser or device.
