Cookies are small files stored in your browser. Local storage is similar browser storage that can remember a setting without sending it with every request. Australian Online Casino uses these tools to keep the site usable, remember your cookie choice, measure basic performance and, where enabled, understand outbound clicks to third-party casino websites.
1. Cookie Categories We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential storage | Keeps the website functional and remembers whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies. | Cookie banner preference stored as aoc_cookie_consent in local storage. | Always active because it is needed to remember your choice. |
| Performance analytics | Helps understand page views, device types, loading issues, filter usage and content performance. | Aggregated page view events, browser type, approximate region and anonymous usage trends. | Used only where enabled and subject to your non-essential cookie choice. |
| Referral and affiliate tracking | Helps record that an outbound casino link was clicked and which review or comparison table produced the click. | Outbound link ID, casino brand, timestamp, page path and referral campaign code. | Used only where enabled and subject to your non-essential cookie choice. |
| Security and abuse prevention | Helps detect repeated abusive traffic, suspicious requests or technical attacks. | Server log records, IP-based rate checks and firewall events. | May be necessary for security and site integrity. |
2. Current Cookie Banner Behaviour
The banner gives two practical choices: accept all cookies or reject non-essential cookies. If you accept all cookies, the site may use essential storage plus analytics or referral cookies where those tools are active. If you reject non-essential cookies, the site stores only the rejection choice and does not need non-essential browser storage for normal reading.
3. Specific Storage We Set
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| aoc_cookie_consent | Local storage | Stores accepted or rejected_non_essential, the policy version and the time of your choice. | Up to 12 months unless you clear it earlier. |
| Server logs | Hosting log data | Security, debugging, traffic integrity and abuse prevention. | Usually up to 90 days unless needed for an incident. |
| Analytics identifiers | Cookie or script storage | Measurement of aggregated page usage, if analytics are enabled. | Depends on the analytics provider and configuration. |
| Referral identifiers | Cookie, URL parameter or affiliate report | Records outbound clicks to third-party casino sites, if referral tracking is enabled. | Depends on the affiliate or reporting provider. |
4. What We Do Not Use Cookies For
- We do not use cookies to run casino games on this website.
- We do not use cookies to process gambling deposits or withdrawals.
- We do not store casino account passwords, card numbers, private wallet keys or identity documents in cookies.
- We do not use the cookie banner to bypass responsible gambling controls.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies may appear if analytics, security, embedded media, affiliate reporting or outbound casino links are used. Those third parties control their own cookies and retention settings. If you click through to a casino, that casino may set separate cookies for registration, login, payment, fraud checks, bonus tracking and responsible gambling tools. Their cookie policy applies after you leave this site.
6. How to Change or Delete Cookies
You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies, delete site data for one domain, or run a private browsing session. If you delete aoc_cookie_consent, the banner will return because the site no longer knows your choice.
