Cookies Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device. They allow the website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies can help a website operate properly, improve its performance and provide a more consistent experience.

Golden Star Casino may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, software development kits, browser storage and other online identifiers. In this policy, we use the term cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a different meaning is stated.

Some cookies are placed by Golden Star Casino, while others may be placed by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics or communications. The availability and use of particular cookies can change as our website, services and technology develop.

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be connected with information relating to your account, device or website activity. Where this happens, we handle the information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

How cookies may be used

The cookies used on the website may have different purposes. Some are necessary for the website to function, while others help us understand how visitors use the website or remember preferences. The categories below explain the main purposes for which cookies may be used.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies may be needed for core website functions. They can support features such as page navigation, account access, session management, security controls, fraud prevention and the handling of your cookie choices. Because these cookies support essential functions, they may not be available for disabling through every preference tool. If you block them through your browser, some parts of the website may not work as intended.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies may remember choices you make, such as language, region, display settings or other website preferences. They can reduce the need to enter the same information repeatedly and may make the website easier to use. If these cookies are disabled, the website may still be available, but certain preferences may not be retained between visits.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies may help Golden Star Casino understand how visitors use the website. They can provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the website, whether pages load correctly and where improvements may be needed. This information is generally used in an aggregated or pseudonymous form where reasonably practicable and is intended to improve website performance and usability.

Advertising and measurement cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or measurement cookies may help measure the effectiveness of communications and campaigns, limit repeated advertisements or show content that is more relevant to your interests. These cookies may involve third-party platforms. They are subject to your available choices and any consent requirements that apply.

Security and compliance technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may also be used to protect accounts and services, identify unusual activity, prevent misuse, support responsible operation of the website and help meet legal or regulatory obligations. These technologies may operate alongside other security measures and may not be used for advertising.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, this tool allows you to accept optional cookies, reject them or choose which categories you want to allow. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the preference message does not appear each time you visit.

You can usually change your preferences later by using the cookie settings available on the website. If a settings link or preference control is provided, it may allow you to review or withdraw consent for optional cookies. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before your choice was changed.

You can also manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. You may be able to configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set, or to reject certain types of cookies automatically. Instructions vary between browsers and devices, so you should refer to the relevant provider's help information.

• Deleting existing cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to sign in or make selections again.
• Blocking all cookies may prevent some website features from operating correctly.
• Changing browser settings on one device may not change settings on another device.
• Some preference controls may depend on a necessary cookie to remember your selection.
• If you use more than one browser, you may need to manage cookies separately in each browser.

Your cookie choices do not replace any account, marketing or privacy choices that may be available through other settings. If you have an account, certain information may continue to be processed where necessary to provide services, maintain security, meet legal obligations or manage your relationship with Golden Star Casino.

Third parties, retention and policy updates

Some website functions may be supported by third-party service providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies on our behalf, or may process information under their own privacy terms. Third-party cookies can be used for functions such as website hosting, security, analytics, customer support, content delivery and campaign measurement. We do not control every cookie placed by an independent third party, so you should review that provider's information where relevant.

The period for which a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until they are deleted. The length of time may differ according to the cookie's purpose, technical requirements and the settings used by the relevant provider.

Information collected through cookies may be stored or processed in Australia or another country, depending on the systems and providers used to operate the website. Where personal information is involved, it is handled in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy obligations. We take reasonable steps intended to protect information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure, although no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the cookies we use, technology, legal requirements or our business practices. When we make a material change, we may provide notice through the website or another appropriate channel. The updated policy will apply from the date it is published unless a different effective date is stated.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, your cookie choices or the handling of personal information, please use the contact or support options made available on the Golden Star Casino website. When contacting us, avoid sending passwords, payment details or other sensitive information unless it is specifically requested through a secure process.
