1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember information about a visit and provide certain features. Cookies may be set by Axe Casino, or by a third-party service provider acting on our behalf.
Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are known as session cookies and are normally deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies remain for a set period or until you remove them. These are known as persistent cookies. The period for which a cookie remains may vary according to its purpose.
We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, we refer to these technologies together as cookies unless a separate distinction is necessary.
2. How Axe Casino uses cookies
Cookies help us operate the website, provide a consistent experience and understand how visitors use our services. Depending on your settings and the purpose of the technology, we may use cookies to:
- Keep the website secure and help detect unusual or potentially fraudulent activity.
- Allow you to sign in, move between pages and use account-related functions.
- Remember information such as language, region, display preferences and cookie choices.
- Maintain the operation of games, payment-related pages and other requested services.
- Measure website performance, including page load times, errors and technical issues.
- Understand how visitors navigate the website so that we can improve content, design and usability.
- Produce aggregated reports about website traffic and service usage.
- Support marketing, advertising or promotional activity where this is permitted and where you have provided any required consent.
- Help us apply responsible gambling, age verification, security and compliance controls where relevant.
Cookies do not change the rules of any game, guarantee a result or improve your chances of winning. Information collected through cookies may be combined with other information we hold about you where this is lawful, necessary and consistent with our Privacy Policy.
3. Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for essential website functions. They may support security, account access, session management, load balancing, fraud prevention and the delivery of pages or services you request. Because the website may not operate properly without them, they generally cannot be switched off through our cookie preference tool. You may be able to block them through your browser, but doing so can prevent access to some features.
Functional or preference cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make and help provide a more personalised experience. For example, they may remember your selected region, language, display settings or cookie preferences. If you decline these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and you may need to enter them again during a later visit.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how the website is used. They may record information such as the pages visited, the links selected, the time spent on a page, the type of device used and general location information. We use this information in an aggregated or otherwise controlled form to identify trends, monitor performance and improve the website. Where required, we seek consent before placing non-essential analytics cookies.
Marketing and advertising cookies
Marketing cookies may help us measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand which promotions are effective and show content that may be more relevant to you. These cookies may be set by us or by approved third parties. We use them only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after obtaining your consent. Declining these cookies does not necessarily mean you will receive fewer advertisements; it may mean that advertising is less relevant to your interests.
Third-party cookies
Some website features may be provided by third parties, such as security, analytics, payment, customer support or embedded content providers. Those providers may place cookies or use similar technologies under their own privacy policies. We do not control every cookie set by a third party. You should review the relevant provider's information for details about its practices and available controls.
4. Your choices and cookie controls
When you first visit the website, you may see a cookie banner or preference tool. Subject to the options available, you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or select particular categories. Your choices may be stored in a preference cookie so that we do not ask you again each time you visit.
You can usually manage cookies through your web browser. Browser settings may allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies, or to receive a notification before a cookie is stored. The method varies between browsers and devices, so refer to your browser's help or settings menu for instructions.
- Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and sign you out of the website.
- Blocking all cookies may affect website security, functionality and access to account or gaming services.
- Cookie controls on one browser or device may not apply to another browser or device.
- Opting out of cookies does not automatically delete other information held under your account.
- Some third-party providers may offer separate opt-out tools or settings.
Where available, you can revisit the cookie preference tool using the cookie settings link on the website. If you clear your browser cookies, your previous choice may be removed and the cookie banner may appear again. You may also be able to control some advertising preferences through industry or platform settings, although these controls may not cover every provider.
Do Not Track and similar signals
Browsers and devices may offer privacy signals, including Do Not Track settings. Because there is no single consistent technical standard, our website may not respond to every such signal. We continue to review available privacy controls and may update our approach as standards and legal requirements develop.
5. Privacy, updates and contact
Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, browser type, device information, approximate location, pages viewed, referral information, session details and interactions with the website. Depending on the circumstances, this information may be personal information under Australian privacy law. We handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including information about collection, use, disclosure, security, retention and your privacy rights.
We may retain cookie-related information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security, reporting, compliance, dispute resolution and service improvement. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the service provider involved.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technologies, service providers, legal obligations or business practices. When we make a significant change, we may provide notice through the website or another appropriate method. The updated version will apply from the date shown at the beginning of the policy or when it is published.
If you have questions about cookies, wish to make a privacy enquiry or need assistance with your cookie choices, please contact Axe Casino through the support or contact details provided on the website. You should not send payment card details, passwords or other sensitive account information through an unsecured contact form.
This policy does not replace the website's Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy or responsible gambling information. Those documents may contain additional requirements about account access, promotions, payments, communications, age restrictions and the use of Axe Casino services.
