Cookies Policy

About this policy

Westace Casino may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage and similar technologies to support the operation of our website and to understand how visitors use it. These technologies can help us provide a secure, consistent and useful online experience. They may also help us remember certain choices, identify technical problems and improve website performance.

A cookie is a small text file or data record that may be stored on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. A cookie may allow a website to recognise a device during a visit or on a later visit. Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting, while others may be set by service providers that support website functions.

The cookies and similar technologies used on the Westace Casino website may change over time as our website, services and security requirements develop. We may update this policy to reflect those changes. The latest version published on this page will apply to future visits, subject to any rights you may have under applicable Australian law.

Types of cookies we may use

Cookies can be grouped according to their purpose and how long they remain on your device. The categories below are general descriptions. Not every category will necessarily be used on every page or during every visit.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies may be needed for core website functions. They can support activities such as moving between pages, maintaining a secure session, remembering information during a transaction or helping protect the website from misuse. Because these cookies may support essential functions, disabling them could affect the availability or performance of parts of the website.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices or settings made during a visit. For example, they may help remember a language, display preference, region selection or other options. These cookies are intended to make a return visit more convenient and reduce the need to enter the same preferences repeatedly.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies may provide information about how visitors interact with the website. This information can include which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the website, whether a page loads correctly and whether technical errors occur. We may use this information in an aggregated or otherwise appropriate form to improve content, navigation, reliability and performance.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to help maintain the integrity of the website, identify unusual activity and support measures designed to prevent fraud, unauthorised access and other misuse. These technologies may work alongside other security controls and do not replace your responsibility to keep your account information confidential.

Advertising or marketing cookies

Where applicable, advertising or marketing technologies may help measure the effectiveness of communications or show content that is more relevant to a user's interests. The availability and use of these technologies may depend on the website features offered, your consent choices and the settings of the relevant service providers.

Why cookies are used

The purposes for which cookies may be used include supporting the website, protecting users and improving our services. Depending on the type of cookie and the choices available, cookies may be used to:

• Enable pages, account areas and other website functions to operate as intended.
• Maintain a secure connection and help recognise activity during a browsing session.
• Remember preferences or information that you choose to provide.
• Understand general patterns of website use and identify areas for improvement.
• Monitor website performance, loading times and technical reliability.
• Help detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse and support responsible security measures.
• Measure the performance of communications, promotions or website content where these features are used.
• Provide information needed to administer, maintain and improve the website.

Cookies do not automatically give us access to information stored on your device that is unrelated to the website. The information collected through cookies may be combined with other information where permitted and where there is a legitimate reason to do so. Our use of personal information is described in more detail in the Westace Casino Privacy Policy.

Third-party services and similar technologies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third-party service providers that assist with website hosting, security, analytics, performance, communications or other online functions. These providers may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and contractual obligations.

Third-party technologies may collect information such as a device identifier, browser type, operating system, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, visit duration and interactions with website features. The information collected will depend on the technology, its configuration and the choices you make. We do not treat this list as a statement that every provider collects every type of information.

Links to external websites, applications or services may be provided for convenience. Those services are not controlled by this Cookies Policy. Before providing information to an external service, you should review its own privacy and cookie information. Westace Casino is not responsible for the cookie practices or content of third-party websites that it does not operate.

Some technologies may transfer or process information outside Australia. Where this occurs, the handling of information should be considered together with our Privacy Policy and any protections required by applicable law. We aim to use appropriate arrangements for information handled on our behalf.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, you can use that tool to accept, reject or adjust categories of non-essential cookies. Your choices may be stored in a cookie or similar technology so that the preference tool does not appear on every visit.

You can also manage cookies through the settings of your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block some or all cookies, and receive a warning before a cookie is stored. The steps differ between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant browser or device instructions.

If you delete cookies or block them, some website features may not work correctly. You may need to enter information again, reset preferences or complete security checks more often. Blocking a cookie in your browser may not remove information that was already collected, and a new cookie may be placed if you later change your settings.

Your choices may apply only to the browser or device used to make them. If you use more than one device or browser, you may need to manage preferences separately. Cookie controls may also be affected if you clear browser data, use private browsing features or change your device settings.

1. Review the cookie notice or preference controls presented on the website.
2. Choose the categories of non-essential cookies you are comfortable allowing.
3. Save your selection and return to the website.
4. Check your browser settings if you want to remove or block cookies stored on your device.
5. Review this policy from time to time for information about changes to our cookie practices.

Privacy, security and policy updates

Information collected through cookies may be personal information where it can be linked to an identifiable person. Westace Casino takes reasonable steps to handle personal information in a way that is consistent with applicable privacy obligations. Access to information is limited where appropriate, and security measures may be used to help protect information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

No online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use a current browser, keep your device and software updated, avoid sharing account credentials, and log out of account areas when using a shared device. If you believe that your account or personal information may have been compromised, take prompt steps to secure your device and account.

We may revise this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, service providers or legal requirements change. Any revised policy will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate. If a change is significant, we may provide additional notice or request a new consent choice where required.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, wish to understand how your information is handled, or want to raise a privacy concern, please use the available support or privacy contact process provided on the Westace Casino website. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request involving personal information.

This policy is intended to provide clear information about cookies and similar technologies. It does not change any other terms, rules or conditions that apply to the use of Westace Casino services. If there is an inconsistency between this policy and a specific service notice, the relevant notice may provide additional information about that service.
