Instant Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Instant Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website from Australia or elsewhere. It is designed to help you understand what these technologies do, why they are used, and what choices you can make about them.
Cookies are a standard part of modern websites. Some are necessary for core site functions, while others help us improve performance, remember your preferences, and tailor marketing. Where required, Instant Casino will request your choice before placing non-essential cookies.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (such as your computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device, remember certain information, and support features such as keeping you signed in, maintaining security, or storing preferences.
In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as pixels, SDKs, local storage, or device identifiers. For simplicity, this policy refers to these collectively as “cookies” unless the context requires otherwise.
Cookies can be set by Instant Casino (often called “first-party cookies”) or by other providers whose services are used on our website (“third-party cookies”). They can also be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (kept for a defined period, unless removed earlier).
Types of Cookies
Instant Casino uses different categories of cookies depending on their purpose. The categories below are commonly used to describe cookies and reflect how we manage cookie choices.
- Essential cookies: required for basic site functionality, security, and account services.
- Performance cookies: used to understand how the website performs and how visitors interact with pages and features.
- Functional cookies: help remember preferences and provide enhanced, personalised features.
- Marketing cookies: used to measure advertising effectiveness and show content that may be more relevant to your interests.
Some cookies may fit more than one category depending on how they are configured. When that happens, we treat them according to their primary purpose and apply the most privacy-protective settings that reasonably fit the use.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies help Instant Casino deliver the services you request, such as loading pages correctly, enabling account login, maintaining session continuity, and protecting the website and players from malicious activity.
These cookies are generally required for core operations and cannot be switched off through cookie preference tools without affecting how the website works. In particular, they support:
- Security controls, including fraud prevention signals and protection against automated abuse.
- Session management, such as keeping you logged in while you navigate between pages.
- Load balancing and technical routing to ensure stable site performance.
- Consent status storage, so the website can remember your cookie choices.
Where essential cookies process information that may be considered personal data, we handle that information in line with our broader privacy practices and apply access controls appropriate to the risk.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use Instant Casino, which pages are visited most, how long pages take to load, and whether errors occur. This information supports continuous improvements to reliability, navigation, and user experience.
Typical uses include:
- Measuring page response times and identifying technical bottlenecks.
- Understanding which features are most used so we can prioritise improvements.
- Tracking error events to help diagnose and fix issues.
- Creating aggregated reports that help us assess overall site health.
We aim to use performance data in a proportionate way. Where feasible, we prefer aggregated or de-identified reporting, and we limit retention to what is needed for analysis, troubleshooting, and service improvement.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow Instant Casino to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. They help create a more consistent experience by reducing the need to re-enter preferences or repeatedly configure the website.
Examples of what functional cookies may support include:
- Remembering language, region, or display preferences.
- Saving selected settings for gameplay interface and accessibility options.
- Maintaining preference-based features that improve navigation or usability.
- Supporting customer-facing tools that rely on continuity of settings during a session.
If you disable functional cookies, certain preference-based features may not work as intended, and some customisations may reset when you return to the website.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising and to help deliver marketing that may be more relevant to you. They may be set by Instant Casino or by third parties that provide advertising, attribution, or affiliate tracking services.
These cookies may be used for activities such as:
- Limiting the number of times you see the same promotion.
- Measuring whether an advertisement led to a visit or an account action.
- Supporting marketing reports that help us understand campaign performance.
- Helping show content that aligns with general interests inferred from browsing behaviour.
Instant Casino does not use marketing cookies to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely through automated processing. Where marketing cookies involve profiling or cross-site tracking, we aim to offer appropriate choices through cookie preference settings or consent prompts where required.
Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways. The best option depends on the device and browser you use. Please note that restricting cookies may affect the availability and functionality of parts of Instant Casino, including login continuity, preference saving, and certain security features.
Browser and Device Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you will need to update settings on each one.
Cookie Preference Choices on the Website
When available, Instant Casino provides a cookie preference tool or consent prompt that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies by category. If you change your mind later, you can update your choices by revisiting the cookie preferences interface (where provided) or by clearing cookies in your browser, which may prompt the consent request again.
Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals or similar mechanisms. Because there is no single industry standard for interpreting these signals, our website may not respond uniformly to every implementation. Where required, we rely on clear cookie choice mechanisms rather than assuming the meaning of device signals.
If you need assistance understanding cookie controls as they apply to Instant Casino, you can contact our support team at [email protected].
Third-Party Cookies
Instant Casino may use third-party services to support analytics, fraud prevention, payment-related risk checks, customer support tools, and marketing measurement. These providers may set cookies or use similar technologies to deliver their services.
Third-party cookies are governed by the third party’s own policies and settings. Depending on how the service is integrated, the third party may receive information such as:
- Device and browser details (for example, browser type, operating system, screen size).
- Approximate location derived from IP address.
- Identifiers associated with cookies or advertising measurement tools.
- Events on the website (for example, page views, clicks, session duration).
We assess third-party tools before use and aim to limit data access to what is necessary for the service provided. We also review cookie categories so that optional third-party cookies are only used when appropriate choices have been offered.
Some third-party cookies may remain on your device until they expire or you delete them through your browser settings. If you choose to block third-party cookies, some integrated features may work in a limited way or become unavailable.
Policy Updates
Instant Casino may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, our website features, or operational practices. When we make updates, we will post the revised version on this page and adjust the effective wording where appropriate.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you remain informed about how cookies are used and what choices are available to you. Continued use of the website after an update means you have had an opportunity to review the changes, and your cookie preferences will apply subject to your selections and browser controls.
