Cookies Policy

About this Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be stored on your computer, mobile device, tablet or another device when you visit a website. They can help a website recognise a device, remember selected preferences and provide information about how the website is used. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage and other tools that perform a comparable function.

Winshark Casino may use cookies and similar technologies to help operate, protect and improve its website. The technologies used may depend on the pages you visit, the functions available to you, your device and the choices you make. Some cookies may be placed by Winshark Casino, while others may be placed by service providers that support website operation, security, analytics or other online services.

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, cookie information may be linked with other information that relates to your account, device or website activity. Where information can be associated with an identifiable person, it will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy obligations and our Privacy Policy.

By continuing to use the website, you may encounter cookies that are necessary for the website to function and, where required, you may be asked to choose whether to allow other categories of cookies. You can change your preferences through the available cookie controls or through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the website operate.

Types of cookies we may use

Different cookies serve different purposes. The categories below are provided to explain the types of cookies that may be used on an online gambling website. The presence or use of a particular category may change as website features, technology and service arrangements change.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies may be needed to provide core website functions. They can support page navigation, secure areas, account access, session management, fraud prevention and the operation of important technical features. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly or may not be available. Because they support essential functions, they may not always be able to be disabled through standard cookie preference tools.

Functionality and preference cookies

These cookies may remember choices you make while using the website. Examples can include language or display preferences, selected settings, and information that helps provide a more convenient experience during later visits. If you remove or block these cookies, you may need to repeat certain choices each time you use the website.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website. Information may include the pages viewed, the time spent on a page, general interaction patterns, technical errors and the type of device or browser used. This information can help identify problems, measure website performance and improve content, navigation and functionality. Analytics information may be collected in a form intended to reduce direct identification.

Security and risk management technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may assist with website security, account protection, traffic monitoring, fraud detection and the identification of unusual or harmful activity. These technologies can help protect users, the website and associated services. They may also help maintain the integrity of login, registration and other account-related processes.

Advertising or marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing technologies may help measure promotional activity, limit repeated advertising, understand campaign performance or show content that is more relevant to a user. These technologies may be operated by Winshark Casino or by third-party providers. You may be able to control this category through the cookie preference tool, your browser settings or other controls offered by the relevant provider.

Your cookie choices and browser controls

You may have several ways to manage cookies. When a cookie banner or preference centre is available, you can use it to accept, reject or adjust optional cookie categories. Your choices may be stored so that they can be applied during future visits, although you may need to renew them after a period of time or if you use a different device or browser.

Most modern browsers also provide settings that allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. Browser controls vary, so you should check the help or privacy settings of the browser installed on your device. You may also be able to receive a notification before a cookie is stored. These controls can be useful, but they may not provide the same level of detail as a website cookie preference tool.

• Allow all cookies where you want the website to remember preferences and provide its full range of available functions.
• Block or reject optional cookies where you prefer to limit analytics, preference or marketing technologies.
• Delete existing cookies from your device if you want to remove information previously stored by your browser.
• Use separate settings for different browsers or devices, because a choice made on one device may not apply elsewhere.
• Review settings after clearing browser data, updating software or changing devices, as previous choices may no longer be retained.

If you block strictly necessary cookies, you may be unable to access some pages or account features. You may also experience repeated requests to select preferences, problems maintaining a session, reduced functionality or content that does not display as intended. Blocking optional cookies should generally affect measurement or personalisation more than basic access, but the result can vary according to the website feature involved.

Cookie controls are separate from other privacy choices. For example, removing a cookie does not necessarily delete information held in an account record or other systems. If you want to understand how personal information is collected, used, stored or disclosed, please refer to the Winshark Casino Privacy Policy.

Third-party technologies, privacy and updates

Some website functions may rely on third-party services. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver hosting, security, analytics, technical support, payment-related functionality, content delivery or other services. The providers may process technical information such as an IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location, referral information or activity on relevant pages, subject to their own arrangements and applicable requirements.

Winshark Casino does not control every technology operated by an independent third party. A third-party provider may change its cookies, identifiers or processing practices without changing this policy immediately. Where relevant, you should review the privacy and cookie information made available by that provider. You can also use browser controls and available website preference tools to limit optional third-party technologies.

Information collected through cookies may be used for purposes such as maintaining a secure session, remembering settings, monitoring technical performance, understanding visitor behaviour, preventing misuse, improving services and measuring communications. We may combine cookie information with other information where this is permitted and reasonably necessary for those purposes. The handling of personal information is subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Children and age-restricted services

Winshark Casino is intended for adults who are legally permitted to use online gambling services in their location. We do not intend to collect information from children. Cookies and similar technologies must not be used to access or engage with gambling services where a person is under the applicable legal age or is otherwise not permitted to do so.

Changes to this policy

This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in website features, technology, service providers, legal requirements or privacy practices. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or your available privacy choices, please use the contact or support channel made available on the Winshark Casino website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information when making an enquiry. This policy is general information and does not replace any rights or obligations that apply under Australian law or the terms governing your use of the website.
