1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how AussieCasinoTravel uses cookies and similar browser technologies. It describes the categories shown in the cookie-preference panel, the local-storage record used to remember a choice, the effect of embedded third-party content and the ways a visitor can change or remove stored information.
The policy applies when you visit pages on AussieCasinoTravel.com. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal and technical information may be handled more broadly.
Cookie use can change as website features and service providers change. The consent panel should reflect the categories that are active on the site at the time of the visit.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser when a website is visited. They can contain an identifier, a preference, a session value or other limited information that helps the website recognise a browser or remember an action.
Some cookies last only while the browser is open and are commonly called session cookies. Others remain until a stated expiry time, until the browser removes them or until the user deletes them. First-party cookies are set for the website being visited, while third-party cookies may be set by an external service loaded on the page.
Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, software development kit identifiers and pixels. These technologies work differently, but they can serve related purposes such as remembering preferences, measuring page use or connecting embedded content.
3. Consent and category controls
On the first visit, the website displays a road-ticket-style cookie notice with options to accept all categories, reject optional categories or manage preferences. Necessary storage remains enabled because it supports the operation of the preference system and other essential functions.
Analytics, preference and marketing categories are optional. They should not be activated through the website’s consent system until the visitor makes the relevant choice. Saving a selection records the preference for later page visits on the same browser profile.
Consent can be changed at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Withdrawing consent does not automatically delete information that an external provider previously received, so browser controls or the provider’s own account settings may also need to be used.
4. Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies or storage support functions that are required for the website to operate as expected. Examples can include remembering that the cookie notice has been answered, maintaining basic security, preventing repeated consent prompts and preserving temporary interface state.
These technologies are not intended to build advertising profiles or measure visitors for optional marketing purposes. Because they support core operation, they cannot be disabled through the website preference panel.
You can still block or delete necessary storage through browser settings. Doing so may cause the cookie notice to reappear, remove saved choices or affect certain interface functions.
5. Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies can help understand which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, which screen sizes and browsers are common, whether errors occur and how quickly content loads. This information can support decisions about design, accessibility and performance.
Where analytics are used, the preferred approach is to minimise the information collected, use aggregated reporting where practical, limit retention and avoid collecting content entered into private form fields.
Analytics cookies are optional in the website settings. Rejecting them should not prevent access to the main travel content, hotel pages, legal information or responsible-travel guidance.
6. Preference cookies
Preference technologies can remember choices that make the interface more convenient. Examples may include a selected destination, display setting, language choice, route-planner preference or whether a particular information panel has been opened.
These preferences are intended to improve continuity rather than track a visitor across unrelated websites. If the category is rejected, the website should still work, but the same choice may need to be made again on a later visit.
Some essential interface choices may be stored as necessary data where they are required to deliver a function explicitly requested by the visitor.
7. Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies can be used to measure advertising campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand whether a visitor arrived from a campaign or personalise promotional content. They may also allow an advertising provider to recognise the same browser on other services.
AussieCasinoTravel treats marketing cookies as optional. Rejecting this category should not restrict access to destination information or create pressure to accept tracking.
Where a third-party marketing service is introduced, its identity and purpose should be reflected in the consent information. The provider may have additional controls available through its own privacy or advertising settings.
8. Local storage used by the site
The website uses the localStorage key aussieCasinoTravelCookiePreferences to remember the selection made in the cookie panel. The stored value may contain a JSON object showing whether analytics, preference and marketing categories were accepted, together with a timestamp.
LocalStorage is saved within the browser profile rather than sent automatically with every web request. JavaScript running on pages from the same site can read the value and apply the saved preference.
The value can be replaced when new settings are saved. It can also be removed by clearing site data, deleting local storage through browser developer tools, using a browser-cleaning feature or resetting the relevant browser profile.
9. Embedded third-party content
Some hotel pages include Google Maps iframe embeds. When an embedded map loads, the browser connects directly to Google and may send technical information such as an IP address, browser details, page URL and interaction data. Google may use its own cookies or storage according to its terms and user settings.
Google Fonts and Font Awesome assets may also be requested from external content-delivery networks. These requests can provide connection data to the relevant provider even when the provider does not place a traditional cookie.
Browser privacy tools, content blockers or network settings may stop embedded services from loading. The core text content should remain available, although maps, icons or typography may appear differently.
10. Cookie and storage duration
The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and configuration. Session cookies normally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until they are deleted. LocalStorage generally remains until it is cleared by the user, the browser or the website.
The AussieCasinoTravel preference record does not rely on a traditional cookie expiry date. It remains in localStorage until a new preference is saved or the stored site data is removed.
Third-party providers determine the duration of their own cookies and storage. Their published policies and account controls should be consulted for current retention details.
11. Updating preferences
Select Cookie Settings in the footer to reopen the preference modal. Necessary Cookies will remain enabled. Analytics Cookies, Preference Cookies and Marketing Cookies can be switched on or off before selecting Save Preferences.
Accept All enables the optional categories shown in the panel. Reject Optional disables those categories. Saving a new selection replaces the previous localStorage value for the current browser profile.
If the settings link does not respond, check whether JavaScript is enabled, refresh the page or clear the site’s stored data and reload. Strict privacy extensions can also prevent the preference interface from storing a choice.
12. Browser controls
Most browsers allow users to view, block and delete cookies or site data. Controls are commonly found under Privacy, Security, Site Settings or Cookies. Some browsers allow different rules for first-party and third-party cookies or permit exceptions for selected websites.
Blocking all cookies and storage can improve privacy in some circumstances but may also sign out accounts, remove preferences and break site functions. Review the effect of a setting before applying it across every website.
Browser help pages provide current instructions because menu names and available controls change between versions and devices.
13. Private browsing and device changes
Private or incognito browsing usually keeps storage separate from a normal browser profile and may remove it when the private session closes. This means the cookie notice may appear again during a later private session.
Preferences are normally specific to the browser, device and profile in which they were saved. A choice made on a laptop will not automatically apply to a phone, a different browser or another user account.
Synchronisation features offered by a browser provider may transfer some settings between devices, but AussieCasinoTravel does not control how those features operate.
14. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when cookies, storage keys, embedded services, consent controls or legal requirements change. The last-updated date at the top of the page identifies the current published version.
Where a material change affects optional tracking or the purpose of previously collected information, a renewed consent choice may be requested.
