Cookies Policy | Vanguard Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They allow the website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support particular functions. Cookies can make a website easier to use by remembering settings, maintaining a session and helping pages load correctly.

Some cookies are set by Vanguard Casino, while others may be placed by third-party service providers that support website operation, security, analytics, advertising or other online functions. These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy information and applicable requirements.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them. The length of time a cookie remains active depends on its purpose and configuration.

The term cookies in this policy may also include similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other tools that collect or store information on a device or help us understand how our website is used.

2. How we use cookies

Vanguard Casino may use cookies and related technologies for a range of legitimate website and service purposes. The exact cookies used may change as our website, technology and services develop. Depending on their purpose, cookies may be used to:

Enable the website and its essential features to function properly.
Maintain a secure browsing or account session where relevant.
Remember selections, preferences and information you provide during a visit.
Help protect the website, accounts and services against fraud, misuse and unauthorised activity.
Understand how visitors navigate and interact with the website.
Measure website performance, reliability and technical errors.
Improve the content, layout, usability and overall experience of the website.
Deliver communications or advertising that may be more relevant to your interests, where permitted.
Limit the frequency with which certain content or messages are shown.
Create aggregated reports and statistical information about website usage.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support navigation, security, session management, accessibility, consent settings and other features that you request. If these cookies are disabled, some parts of the website may not operate correctly or may become unavailable. Essential cookies are generally used because they are necessary to provide a service or operate a function you have requested.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies help remember choices you make, such as language, region, display or other settings. They can help provide a more consistent experience when you return to the website. If you reject or delete these cookies, you may need to enter preferences again, and some optional features may not work as intended.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. Information may include the pages viewed, approximate time spent on a page, navigation paths, general device or browser information and whether an error occurred. We use this information in aggregated or otherwise appropriate ways to identify improvements and monitor website performance.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, understand interactions with promotional content and show information that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be set by us or by third parties acting on our behalf or independently. They may recognise a browser or device across different websites or services, subject to the relevant provider's settings and policies.

3. Your cookie choices

When you visit the website, you may be presented with a cookie notice or preference tool. This tool may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject them or choose between different categories. Your choices may be saved using a cookie or similar technology so that we can remember them. You can change your preferences later where a preference tool is available.

You can also control cookies through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies in their privacy or settings menu. Browser controls differ, so you should consult the help information for your particular browser or device. You may need to repeat your choices on different browsers, devices or user profiles.

Disabling optional cookies should not normally prevent access to general website content. However, blocking all cookies may affect essential functions, security controls, account features, preferences or the way the website is displayed. If you delete cookies, previously saved preferences may also be removed.

Some third-party providers may offer their own tools for managing analytics, advertising or other technologies. We do not control every third-party setting, and using a third-party tool may not remove all data already collected. You should review the relevant provider's information for details about its practices and available choices.

Cookie choices are separate from other privacy choices. Adjusting browser or cookie settings may not affect information collected through account records, security processes, communications or other lawful means. For information about personal information, access requests and related rights, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

4. Privacy, security and policy changes

Information collected through cookies may include an online identifier, IP address, device type, browser details, general location information, pages visited, referral information and interactions with the website. Depending on the circumstances, this information may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy law. We use and handle information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian requirements.

Cookies do not normally contain your account password. You should still take care when using shared or public devices, keep your login details confidential and log out when you finish using an account. We may use technical and organisational measures intended to protect website information, but no online system or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Our website may contain links to websites, applications or services operated by third parties. Those services may use their own cookies and privacy practices. This Cookies Policy does not apply to third-party websites that we do not operate or control. You should review the relevant third party's terms and privacy information before using its services or providing information.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technologies, services, legal obligations or privacy practices. When we make changes, we will publish the updated version on this page and revise the date or other notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the website after an update may be subject to the revised policy.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or how cookies are used, please use the available contact or support channels shown on the Vanguard Casino website. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive account or identity information in a general enquiry.
