Cookie Policy

At 21Bit Casino Australia , we are committed to delivering a transparent, secure, and enjoyable online gaming experience for Australian players. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to improve functionality, personalise your experience, analyse usage trends, and comply with Australian privacy requirements.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They act like a short-term memory for the site, helping it remember your actions and preferences across pages or future visits.

Cookies themselves usually do not contain personally identifiable information such as your name or email address. However, they can collect data about your browsing behaviour, device type, or interactions that — when combined with other information — may be considered personal information under Australian privacy law.

Our Guiding Principles

We follow recognised best practices from Australian and international authorities to ensure ethical and privacy-respecting use of cookies.

• We align our approach with guidance from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), the independent statutory authority responsible for the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). For general information about cookies, see the OAIC’s helpful overview in their What are cookies? guidance (note: exact page titles evolve; this reflects current OAIC resources on cookies and online identifiers).
• We also consider standards and resources from IAB Australia, the industry body for digital advertising, which provides education on responsible tracking and identity solutions in a changing cookie landscape. More details are available in their Your One Stop Shop on Cookies and Identity resource hub.

Understanding cookies is important in today’s digital environment. Websites — especially dynamic platforms like online casinos — rely on them for smooth operation. Without cookies, everyday functions such as secure logins, session continuity, language selection, or fraud prevention would be difficult or impossible.

Why Cookies Matter for Our Platform

Cookies help make your experience faster, safer, and more convenient. For example:

• They enable secure authentication and protect against unauthorised access.
• They maintain your game session so you can pause and resume without losing progress.
• They support real-time features critical to online gaming.

They also allow us to collect anonymised, aggregated data to understand how players use the site, identify popular games or features, and continuously improve performance — particularly for mobile users across Australia.

This data-driven improvement is consistent with fair trading principles promoted by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in their work on consumer rights in digital services and online data practices.

Compliance with Australian Privacy Laws

Our cookie practices fully adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988. We collect only the data necessary for the purposes described, handle it securely, and — where cookies involve personal information — seek your informed consent or provide clear opt-out mechanisms as recommended by the OAIC.

Essential cookies (strictly necessary for the site to function) generally do not require separate consent because they are required to deliver the service you requested.

Categories of Cookies We Use

We divide cookies into four main categories based on purpose and duration:

1. Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for core website functionality — such as secure login, transaction processing, session management, and basic site security. Without them, the site cannot operate properly. According to OAIC guidance, these typically do not require explicit consent.

2. Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with the platform through anonymised, aggregated metrics (e.g., page views, session length, popular sections). We use this information to enhance performance, fix issues, and improve mobile compatibility. Our approach follows Google Analytics best practices on data minimisation and user privacy.

3. Preference Cookies

These remember your choices — such as language (English is default for most Australian users), theme settings, or other display preferences — so the site feels tailored to you on return visits.

4. Third-Party Cookies

These are set by trusted partners (e.g., content delivery networks, security services) to improve reliability, speed, and protection (such as against DDoS attacks). They operate under strict data processing agreements that enforce confidentiality and compliance.

For a quick reference, please see the summary table below that outlines each category, its main purpose, typical data involved, and approximate retention period.

We are committed to transparency. This policy is designed not only to meet legal obligations but to help you understand and control how cookies work on 21Bit Casino Australia . You can manage your preferences via our cookie banner or browser settings at any time.

If you have questions about this policy, feel free to contact us at any time.

Overview of Cookie Categories

Here’s a detailed breakdown in table form for quick reference:

The data is sourced from our internal practices, cross-referenced with IAB Australia’s cookie guidelines for accuracy.

By understanding these categories, you can better appreciate how cookies contribute to a safer, more efficient online casino environment. In the next part, we’ll discuss management options in greater detail.

Managing Cookies and Your Privacy Choices

At 21Bit Casino Australia, giving you control over your personal data is a top priority. This section explains how to manage cookies — from browser settings and consent choices to the effects of your decisions. We’ve designed this process to be clear and easy, in line with Australian consumer protection laws and best practices.

Browser Settings for Cookie Control

Most modern web browsers include built-in tools to manage cookies effectively. For example:

• In Google Chrome, go to the menu → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From here you can block third-party cookies, clear cookies when you close the browser, or allow cookies only from sites you trust.
• Similar options are available in Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) offers useful guidance on protecting your privacy through browser settings and online habits — see their consumer advice resources for more details.

Our Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our site, you’ll see a clear cookie consent banner. This lets you customise your preferences right away:

• Accept only essential cookies (required for the site to function)
• Opt in or out of analytics, marketing, or preference cookies

Disabling non-essential cookies (such as those used for analytics or personalisation) will not affect core gameplay or account access, though it may reduce tailored features like recommended games or promotions.

Managing Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our platform come from trusted third-party providers, such as analytics and content delivery services. You can control these directly:

• For Google-related cookies (including analytics and advertising), use Google’s Ad Settings tool to manage or opt out of personalised ads.
• For Cloudflare services (which help with performance and security), refer to the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for information on their data practices and controls.

Additional Privacy Tools

You can further limit tracking by using browser extensions or tools such as:

• uBlock Origin or other popular ad blockers/privacy protectors

Keep in mind that very strict settings (e.g., blocking all cookies or aggressive tracker blocking) may cause slower page loading, login issues, or reduced functionality on some parts of the site.

Summary of Your Cookie Choices

To help you decide what’s right for you, we’ve included an informational table below. It outlines common user actions, what they affect, and any potential impact on your experience at 21Bit Casino Australia.

Cookie Management Options

This responsive table summarises key choices:

Data is informed by OAIC and browser vendor documentation, ensuring reliability.

By exercising these controls, you maintain authority over your online footprint. This not only protects your privacy but also encourages responsible data practices across the web.

Emerging Trends in Privacy and Tracking Technologies

One of the most significant shifts underway is the move toward privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), including contextual advertising approaches that reduce or eliminate reliance on traditional tracking cookies.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) continues to monitor these developments closely and provides valuable guidance on emerging technologies and privacy risks through its dedicated resources in the Privacy guidance for organisations and government agencies section of their website (with specific focus areas such as AI, automated decision-making, and new tracking methods).

Internationally, the proposed ePrivacy Regulation in the European Union continues to influence global standards for electronic communications and online tracking — standards that Australia frequently considers when updating its own framework.

Our Commitment at 21Bit Casino Australia

We are dedicated to keeping our practices current and user-focused. This includes conducting regular audits and updates to our Cookie Policy to ensure full compliance with Australian privacy laws and best-practice expectations.

Should any material changes be made to how we use cookies or handle related data, we will notify you clearly and prominently directly on the website (and where appropriate via email or in-app messages).
