This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and any other terms that apply to your use of the website.

1. What are 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 work properly, improve performance and provide a more convenient user experience.

Some cookies are placed directly by Starda Casino. Other cookies may be placed by third-party service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or advertising. These third parties may use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable requirements.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The period for which a cookie remains active can vary according to its purpose and settings.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other tools that perform functions comparable to cookies. When this policy refers to cookies, it may also include these similar technologies where relevant.

2. How we use cookies

We may use cookies for several purposes. The particular cookies used may change over time as the website, services and technology develop. Cookies may be used to support the following activities:

Operating the website and making core features available.
Remembering information you provide during a session or when returning to the website.
Supporting account access, authentication, security checks and fraud prevention.
Maintaining the stability, availability and performance of the website.
Understanding how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed and how users move between pages.
Measuring the effectiveness of website content, promotions and communications.
Remembering your preferences, settings and consent choices.
Helping us identify technical problems and improve the design, functionality and accessibility of the website.
Delivering relevant information or marketing where this is permitted and where you have provided any consent required by law.
Managing responsible gambling information, account notices and other important service messages.

Cookies do not themselves necessarily identify you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be associated with information you provide to us or with information connected to your account, device or browser. Where this happens, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy obligations.

We do not use cookies to avoid or replace identity, age, location, responsible gambling or other checks that may be required for access to online gambling services. These checks may use separate information and systems, and access may be restricted where legal or operational requirements are not met.

3. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for essential website functions. They may support navigation, secure areas, account features, session management, fraud prevention and the delivery of services you request. Because the website may not operate correctly without them, they generally cannot be disabled through the website's cookie preference tool. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent some features from working.

Functional or preference cookies

These cookies remember choices you make, such as language, region, display settings or cookie preferences. They help provide a more personalised and convenient experience. If you decline these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and you may need to make the same choices again during future visits.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how the website performs and how visitors interact with it. Information may include pages visited, approximate usage patterns, browser type, device information and technical events. We use this information to monitor performance, find errors and improve the website. Where required, these cookies will be used only with your consent.

Advertising and marketing cookies

These cookies may be used to support marketing activities, limit the number of times an advertisement is shown, measure campaign performance or make promotional content more relevant. They may be set by us or by advertising and technology partners. Marketing cookies will be used in accordance with applicable law and any consent requirements.

Third-party cookies

Some website features may be provided by third parties, including analytics, security, payment, support or content providers. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver their services. We do not control all third-party technologies, so you should review the relevant third party's privacy and cookie information for further details.

4. Your choices and managing cookies

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select particular categories. Your choices may be saved for future visits, although you may need to make them again if you delete cookies, change devices or use a different browser.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites or block all cookies. Browser controls vary, so you should consult the help or settings information for the browser and device you use.

Open your browser's privacy, security or site settings.
Review the available cookie controls and stored website data.
Choose whether to allow, block or delete cookies.
Close and reopen your browser if necessary for the changes to take effect.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect how the website operates. You may be unable to sign in, use account features, maintain a session, save preferences or access certain services. Blocking optional cookies should generally have a more limited effect, but the result may depend on the settings you choose.

If the website provides a cookie preference tool, you can use it to change your choices at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it was withdrawn. Some cookies may continue to operate where they are strictly necessary for the service or where another lawful basis applies.

5. Privacy, updates and contact

Information collected through cookies may include device information, browser details, IP address, website activity, account-related events, approximate location information and preferences. The information we collect and the way we use, store, disclose and protect it are explained in our Privacy Policy. That policy also describes rights and choices that may apply to your personal information under Australian privacy law or other applicable requirements.

Cookies may involve the collection or transfer of information by service providers located in Australia or overseas. Where information is handled by third parties, we take reasonable steps to work with providers that are expected to handle information appropriately and consistently with applicable requirements. Overseas handling may be subject to the laws of the country where the provider operates.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, cookies, technology, legal requirements or our business practices. The updated version will be made available on the website, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published unless stated otherwise. You should review this page periodically to remain informed.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or the use of cookies on the website, please use the available support or contact channel provided on the Starda Casino website. Do not include sensitive account, payment or identity information unless it is specifically requested through a secure support process.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing any cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be used as described in this policy, subject to the choices and consent options available to you.
