Uptown Pokies Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Uptown Pokies Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website from Australia or elsewhere. It describes what these technologies are, why they are used, and the choices available to you.
Cookies do not usually identify you by name. They help websites recognise your device, keep sessions running smoothly, and improve site functionality. Where cookie data is combined with other information and can be linked to you, we treat it with appropriate care in line with our broader privacy practices.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (such as your computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. When you return, your browser can send the cookie back to the website, allowing the website to remember information about your visit.
Cookies may be “session cookies” (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until deleted). Similar technologies may also be used, such as local storage, software development kits (SDKs) within apps, pixels, and tags. For simplicity, this policy refers to these as “cookies” unless stated otherwise.
Types of Cookies
Uptown Pokies Casino uses different categories of cookies for different purposes. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work. Others help us understand how the website is used, remember your preferences, or support marketing activities where permitted.
In general, cookies used on the website fall into these categories:
- Essential cookies, which enable core features such as navigation, security, and account access.
- Performance cookies, which help us understand website usage and improve performance.
- Functional cookies, which remember choices and provide enhanced features.
- Marketing cookies, which may be used to deliver and measure advertising and content.
The specific cookies present may change over time as the website evolves and as third-party services are updated.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the website to operate reliably. They are used to provide basic functions, protect the platform, and deliver services you request. Without these cookies, the website may not work properly.
Examples of how essential cookies may be used by Uptown Pokies Casino include:
- Keeping you signed in during a session and maintaining secure areas of the website.
- Supporting account authentication and helping prevent unauthorised access.
- Enabling key site functions, such as page navigation, form submissions, and language or region routing where applicable.
- Helping detect suspicious activity and supporting anti-fraud and security monitoring.
- Distributing traffic across servers to ensure stable performance.
Because essential cookies are necessary for the service, they are generally set automatically when you use the site. You can still block them in browser settings, but doing so may prevent the website from functioning correctly.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies (sometimes called analytics cookies) help us understand how visitors use the website. They can provide aggregated insights such as which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, and whether pages load correctly.
Uptown Pokies Casino may use performance cookies to:
- Measure traffic volumes and identify popular content and features.
- Diagnose errors, broken pages, and technical issues.
- Test improvements and monitor site speed and reliability.
- Understand overall user journeys so we can simplify navigation and reduce friction.
Where possible, we aim to use analytics in a way that minimises the amount of personal information processed. In some cases, performance data may be collected through third-party analytics tools, which may set their own cookies or use similar technologies.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies support enhanced features and personalisation. They help the website remember your choices so that your experience is more convenient and consistent when you return.
Functional cookies may be used by Uptown Pokies Casino to:
- Remember preferences such as display settings and interface choices.
- Save selections you make to avoid re-entering information repeatedly.
- Support live chat or customer support tools that require session continuity.
- Provide tailored on-site experiences based on prior interactions, such as showing relevant help prompts.
If you disable functional cookies, some personalisation features may not work, and certain settings may reset each time you visit.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, to limit how often you see an advertisement, and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These cookies can also be used to build audiences, attribute conversions, and understand interactions with ads across different websites or apps.
Uptown Pokies Casino may use marketing cookies to:
- Measure marketing performance, such as which campaigns lead to visits or account actions.
- Support advertising frequency controls to avoid repeatedly showing the same message.
- Help identify general interest categories for more relevant messaging.
- Detect potentially fraudulent or invalid ad activity.
Marketing cookies are often placed by third parties (for example, advertising networks or social media platforms). These third parties may act as independent controllers of the data they collect through their cookies, depending on the service and how it is configured. Your ability to opt out may depend on your device settings, browser tools, and the opt-out mechanisms offered by those providers.
Managing Cookies
You have options to manage cookies and similar technologies. The most common controls are available through your browser settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete existing cookies. Many browsers also offer private browsing modes that limit storage of cookies after your session ends.
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies can affect functionality. For example, you may need to re-enter preferences, and some features of Uptown Pokies Casino may not work as intended, especially where essential cookies are involved.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser.
- Block cookies from specific sites or block third-party cookies.
- Receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
To learn more about managing cookies, you can consult your browser’s help resources:
- Google Chrome cookie settings
- Mozilla Firefox cookie settings
- Apple Safari cookie settings
- Microsoft Edge cookie settings
Preference and consent tools
Where we provide a cookie preference tool on the website, you can use it to adjust your choices for non-essential cookies. Your selections may be stored in a cookie so we can remember them on future visits. If you clear cookies, you may be asked to set your preferences again.
Advertising preferences
Some third-party advertising providers offer tools to manage how they use information for advertising purposes. You may also be able to control ad personalisation through your device settings (for example, on mobile operating systems). These controls vary by provider and device, and they may not stop all marketing cookies, but they can reduce personalised advertising.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Uptown Pokies Casino website may be set by third parties that provide services to us. These may include analytics providers, marketing partners, fraud prevention services, and customer support tools. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the third parties that set them.
Third-party cookies may be used for purposes such as:
- Measuring traffic and user engagement through analytics services.
- Providing embedded features (for example, support widgets) that require cookies to function.
- Helping detect automated traffic, account abuse, or other suspicious activity.
- Delivering and measuring advertising, subject to your settings and applicable options.
We aim to work with providers that maintain appropriate safeguards. However, we do not control how third parties use cookies on other websites or platforms, and your choices may need to be set both with us and with those providers. If you would like to reduce third-party cookie activity, consider blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings and reviewing the opt-out mechanisms offered by relevant providers.
Policy Updates
Uptown Pokies Casino may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our website features, or our practices. The updated version will apply from the time it is published on the website. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice through the site interface.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you remain informed about how cookies are used and what choices are available to you.
