Cookies Policy

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on your device while you browse the internet. This information can include identifiers, preferences, security settings, and other metadata that helps websites to remember your interaction with their platform.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

Cookies enable our site to provide a more tailored experience for each user by remembering specific details about their previous interactions and allowing us to improve performance over time. These small files also help prevent errors when navigating between pages or returning to a previously opened session.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of our website, providing essential features like login functionality, password storage, and secure browsing experience. Examples include:

  • session_id – identifies your current browser session
  • remember_me - enables auto-login

Without these types of cookies, certain core functionalities would be unavailable or severely limited.

Session Cookies

These are short-lived cookies that store information while you browse our website within a single visit (session). Once the browser is closed, they are deleted. They are often used to keep track of your progress as you navigate through pages.

Examples include:

  • shopping_cart - temporarily stores items for checkout
  • current_page – tracks visited page

Persistent Cookies

In contrast, these cookies persist across multiple visits and can store information beyond a single browsing session. They are commonly used to customize settings or preferences that remain consistent across sessions.

Examples include:

  • theme_setting - permanently sets website appearance
  • _user_id – stores unique user identifier for account management

Functional Cookies

These small files aid in enhancing the functionality of our site by storing specific user data, such as login credentials, page history, or preferences. Examples are:

  • current_location - saves visitor location settings
  • favorite_games - tracks users' favorite content on the website

We may use these types to optimize browsing experience and remember your previous interactions with our platform.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated data about site performance, traffic volume, and user behavior. They help us understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve its structure and content over time.

Examples include:

  • _gat – Google Analytics identifier for tracking visitor activity
  • performance_tracking_id - internally tracked metrics

By using this information responsibly, we ensure continuous improvement in the overall quality of user experience on Pokies Casino SGA.

Preference and Language Settings

Cookies can be used to store users' preferred language or other settings that remain consistent across visits. Examples include:

  • _preferred_language – saves visitor's selected interface language
  • site_font_size - stores adjusted font size preferences

We respect your choices in personalization, aiming for an ideal balance of comfort and functionality.

Login/Session Continuity

To maintain smooth sessions between pages or after logout/login sequences, our website uses specific cookies that recognize the user across multiple interactions. Examples are:

  • persistent_login - enables login persistence
  • _login_attempt_counter - tracks failed login attempts to prevent brute force attacks

This continuous session handling ensures seamless navigation throughout your Pokies Casino SGA experience.

Device Recognition

To better understand visitor behaviors, we employ technology that identifies unique identifiers for each device connected to our site. This allows us to recognize returning visitors and enhance their browsing experience accordingly.

Examples include:

  • device_type - recognizes operating system type
  • _screen_resolution – stores user display settings

This cookie functionality does not collect or store any personal data beyond browser details, allaying concerns about user tracking.

Security-Related Cookies

In the interest of providing a secure browsing environment for our visitors, we occasionally use security cookies that aid in detecting suspicious behavior. These include:

  • _security_token - ensures authenticity and prevents phishing
  • account_lockout_counter – tracks attempts to login incorrectly

This security-focused approach safeguards user data while maintaining session continuity.

Browser Storage Technologies

Cookies are one aspect of how we interact with your browser's local storage capacity. This platform uses a combination of HTML5 features like LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and WebStorage APIs for dynamic website adaptation based on user behavior and settings.

Examples include:

  • localStorage.user_info – stores individualized account data
  • _sessionInfo - maintains session state

Third-Party Integrations

Some features might involve third-party services, which could potentially use their own cookies for performance metrics or integration purposes. These are typically disclosed when you engage with specific functionalities.

Examples include:

  • Google Maps – uses NID, 1P_JAR to improve mapping experience
  • Social media sharing buttons – employ social network tracking codes

We disclose such integrations upfront in our privacy statement and clearly define what external cookies might be involved.

We maintain transparency in collecting and using such data for more personal experience customization.

The following functionalities are essential but require explicit consent:

  • Analytics Cookies (aggregated data for site performance analysis)
