Cookies Policy | Ricky Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies can help a website operate correctly, provide security, remember preferences and understand how visitors use its pages.

Some cookies are placed directly by Ricky Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website functions, analytics, security, advertising or other online features. These third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and the arrangements in place with Ricky Casino.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The period for which a cookie remains active can differ according to its purpose, your browser settings and the technology used.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. These technologies can perform functions like cookies, such as remembering settings, measuring visits, detecting unusual activity or helping us understand whether content has been viewed.

2. How Ricky Casino uses cookies

Ricky Casino may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes. The exact cookies used may change as the website, its features and its supporting services develop. Cookies do not normally identify you by name on their own, although information collected through cookies may be connected with account, device or usage information where permitted by law and reasonably necessary for a stated purpose.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support essential website functions. They may help pages load, maintain a secure session, remember selections during a visit, protect forms, identify potentially harmful activity and support account or transaction-related features. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly. Because they are needed for core functions, they may not be available for general opt-out through the website preference tool.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies remember choices you make so the website can provide a more consistent experience. For example, they may remember language, display, region, accessibility or consent preferences. They can also help us provide features that you request. If you disable them, the website may still be available, but you may need to repeat certain choices each time you return.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about pages visited, time spent on pages, navigation patterns, technical errors, browser type, device type and approximate location. This information can be used in an aggregated or otherwise appropriate form to monitor performance, identify problems, improve content and make the website easier to use.

Security and fraud prevention technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to support security, prevent misuse, identify automated activity and protect accounts, payment processes and the wider website. These technologies may assess device or browser signals, login activity and other technical information. They are intended to help protect users and Ricky Casino from unauthorised access, fraud and other harmful activity.

Marketing and advertising technologies

Where used and permitted, marketing technologies may help measure campaigns, understand interactions with promotional content and show information that is more relevant to your interests. These technologies may be provided by Ricky Casino or by carefully selected service providers. We do not treat cookie acceptance as a guarantee that you will receive any particular offer, promotion or marketing communication.

Keeping the website functional and secure.
Remembering settings and consent choices.
Understanding website performance and visitor behaviour.
Detecting technical problems, suspicious activity or misuse.
Improving services, content and user experience.
Measuring the effectiveness of communications and advertising where applicable.

3. Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where available, this tool allows you to accept optional cookies, reject them or choose categories according to your preferences. Your choices may be remembered using a cookie or similar technology. You can revisit the available controls to change your preferences, although changes may not affect information already collected.

You can also manage cookies through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block all cookies, block cookies from particular websites or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Browser settings differ, so you should review the help or privacy section of your chosen browser for instructions.

If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one. Clearing cookies may remove saved settings, sign you out of accounts and affect the way the website operates. Blocking all cookies may prevent essential features from working, including account access, security checks or other functions needed to use online gambling services.

Some devices also provide advertising or privacy controls that limit tracking technologies. These controls may operate independently from the Ricky Casino website. You should check the settings available through your device manufacturer, operating system, browser and any relevant third-party service.

Review the cookie choices presented on the website.
Select the categories you are comfortable accepting, where controls are provided.
Use browser or device settings to remove or block stored cookies.
Revisit your choices if you change devices, browsers or privacy preferences.
Contact the appropriate privacy or support channel if you need information about available choices.

Choosing not to accept optional cookies does not necessarily stop all data collection. For example, information may still be processed where it is needed for security, legal compliance, account administration or the basic operation of the website. Cookie preferences also do not replace responsible gambling tools, account controls or marketing preferences that may be available separately.

4. Information, third parties and privacy

Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, device and browser details, operating system, approximate location, referring website, pages viewed, links selected, dates and times of visits, session information and interactions with website features. The information collected depends on the technology involved and the settings you choose. Ricky Casino aims to use information for appropriate purposes and in a manner consistent with applicable privacy obligations.

Some services used to operate, secure, analyse or improve a website may place their own cookies or similar technologies. These providers may receive technical or usage information through their tools. Their handling of information may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Where appropriate, Ricky Casino takes steps to ensure that service providers receive only the access or information reasonably required for their role.

Cookies may be associated with information held in an account when this is necessary for authentication, security, fraud prevention, service delivery or another legitimate website purpose. We do not suggest that every cookie identifies an individual. However, information from different sources may sometimes be combined where permitted and reasonably necessary.

The Privacy Policy provides further information about how personal information may be collected, used, stored, disclosed and managed by Ricky Casino. It also explains relevant privacy rights and how privacy-related questions or requests may be raised. If there is any inconsistency between this policy and the Privacy Policy about the handling of personal information, the Privacy Policy will apply to that subject.

Ricky Casino may update its cookies, website features, service providers or technology from time to time. A change to the technologies used may result in an update to this policy or the cookie preference options. You should check this page periodically for the latest information. Where a change is significant, additional notice may be provided through the website or another suitable channel.

5. Contact and responsible use

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, the technologies used on the website or the choices available to you, please use the contact or support options published on the Ricky Casino website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in a general enquiry. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request concerning an account or personal information.

Ricky Casino is intended for adults who are legally permitted to participate in online gambling in their location. Cookies may help support account and website functions, but they do not change your responsibility to comply with applicable Australian laws, website terms, age requirements and responsible gambling guidance. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or recover losses.

If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, stop and seek help from an appropriate gambling support service. You can also use any account, deposit, session, exclusion or marketing controls made available through the website. Cookie settings cannot replace these responsible gambling measures.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing this policy, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used as described here, subject to the choices and controls available to you. Your use of the website remains subject to the applicable Ricky Casino terms and conditions, privacy information and responsible gambling requirements.
