Cookies Policy | Blue Leo Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or another internet-enabled device. They allow the website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting, which are commonly called first-party cookies, or by another service provider operating on that website, which are commonly called third-party cookies.

Cookies can make a website work correctly, help maintain a secure connection, remember choices and provide information about how visitors use the website. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of a browsing session and are removed when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them or they expire.

We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These can include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and device or browser identifiers. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and similar technologies together as cookies.

2. How Blue Leo Casino uses cookies

Blue Leo Casino may use cookies for several purposes connected with providing, protecting and improving the website. The specific cookies used may change as our website, services and technology develop. Cookies may be used to support the following activities:

Operating essential website features, including navigation, page access and account-related functions.
Maintaining security, identifying suspicious activity and helping to protect the website, users and transactions.
Remembering information that you provide or choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or cookie settings.
Supporting responsible access controls and helping us apply relevant website rules and restrictions.
Understanding how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed, how features are used and whether links or content are effective.
Monitoring website performance, identifying errors and improving reliability, speed and usability.
Measuring the effectiveness of communications, promotions or website content where this is permitted and appropriate.
Supporting advertising, marketing or personalisation activities where relevant permissions have been obtained and where such activities are permitted by applicable law.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for core website functions. They may allow pages to load, help keep sessions active, support authentication, remember security settings and protect against misuse. If these cookies are disabled, some parts of the website may not work properly or may be unavailable. Because they support necessary functions, essential cookies may operate without a separate optional consent choice where permitted by law.

Preference and functionality cookies

Preference cookies help the website remember settings and choices. For example, they may remember a selected language, region, layout or previous cookie preference. These cookies are intended to make future visits more convenient and can reduce the need to repeat the same selections.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand general website activity. They may provide information such as the pages visited, the approximate time spent on a page, the type of device or browser used and whether a page or function has operated as expected. This information is generally used in an aggregated or statistical form to improve the website and the services offered through it.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Where used, marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, understand how visitors reach the website and show content that is more relevant to their interests. These cookies may be placed by Blue Leo Casino or by approved third-party providers acting on our behalf. They may recognise a browser or device across websites, subject to the provider's practices and the choices available to you. Marketing cookies are not essential to the basic operation of the website.

3. Third-party services and information sharing

Some cookies may be provided by third parties that help us operate, secure, analyse or improve the website. These providers may process information about a device or browsing activity in accordance with their own privacy notices and contractual obligations. Third parties may include providers of website hosting, security, analytics, payment support, fraud prevention, customer service, advertising or technical performance services, depending on the features available on the website.

A cookie may collect information such as an online identifier, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, referring website, pages visited, actions taken and dates or times of access. Information collected through cookies may be combined with other information held by Blue Leo Casino where this is necessary for security, account administration, service delivery, compliance or other lawful purposes.

Cookies do not usually contain your full name or direct contact details. However, information associated with a cookie may become personal information when it can reasonably be linked with an individual, device, account or activity. We handle such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

We do not use cookies to remove your responsibility for keeping your account information, passwords and devices secure. You should take reasonable precautions when accessing online gambling services, including using a private device where appropriate, keeping software updated and avoiding sharing login information.

4. Managing cookies and your choices

When available, you can manage optional cookie categories through the cookie banner or preference tool displayed on the website. You may be able to accept all cookies, reject optional cookies or choose individual categories. Your preferences may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember your decision. If you clear your cookies, change browser settings or use another device or browser, you may need to provide your preferences again.

You can also manage cookies through the settings in your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is saved. Browser controls differ between providers, so you should check the help or settings menu for the browser and device you use.

Open your browser's privacy, security or site settings.
Review the available cookie and tracking controls.
Choose whether to block, allow or delete cookies.
Close and reopen the browser if required for the changes to take effect.
Review settings again if you use another browser, device or private browsing mode.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect your experience. Essential website features may not operate correctly, preferences may not be remembered, pages may need to be loaded again and some account or security functions may be unavailable. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies should not normally prevent access to basic website content, but the website may still use essential technologies where necessary.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies we use, our services, legal requirements or industry practices. When the policy is updated, the new version will be published on this page and the effective date may be changed where applicable. You should review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies are used.

Questions and privacy requests

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, your cookie preferences or the way information is handled, please use the contact or support options made available on the Blue Leo Casino website. We may need to verify a request before providing information or changing account-related settings. Further information about personal information, access requests, corrections and other privacy matters is available in our Privacy Policy.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing this policy, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described here, subject to any choices available through the cookie preference tool or your browser settings. This statement does not change any mandatory legal, regulatory or contractual requirements that apply to the use of the website.
