Cookies Policy | Drake 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 a website to recognise a device or remember information about a visit. Cookies can help websites function properly, maintain security and provide a more consistent experience when you return.

Some cookies are placed directly by Drake Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website operation, analytics, security, advertising or other functions. These third-party technologies may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices and settings.

A cookie does not usually identify you by name on its own. However, information collected through cookies may sometimes be linked with account, device or usage information that we hold. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

2. How Drake Casino may use cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for several purposes. The technologies used on the website may change over time as our website, security requirements and service providers change. We aim to use them for legitimate business and operational purposes, subject to applicable law.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for core website functions. They may help pages load, allow you to move between areas of the website, maintain a secure session, remember essential preferences and support account or gaming functions. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly or may not be available.

Security and fraud prevention

Cookies and related technologies may help us identify unusual activity, protect accounts, reduce automated or abusive activity and support the security of transactions and services. Security information may be reviewed to help prevent fraud, money laundering, account misuse and other prohibited conduct.

Preference and functionality cookies

These technologies may remember choices you make, such as language, display preferences, session settings or other selections. Remembering these choices can make the website easier to use and reduce the need to enter the same information repeatedly.

Performance and analytics cookies

Analytics technologies may provide information about how visitors use the website. This can include pages viewed, links selected, approximate location, device type, browser information, referral sources and general interaction patterns. We may use this information to monitor performance, identify errors, improve navigation and understand which content is useful.

Marketing and advertising technologies

Where permitted and where relevant choices or consent are required, marketing technologies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand advertising effectiveness or show content that may be more relevant to a visitor. These technologies may be operated by third parties and may use information about browsing activity across websites or services.

3. Types and duration of cookies

Session cookies

Session cookies are temporary. They remain on your device while your browser is open or while a particular session continues and are generally removed when the session ends. They may support sign-in, navigation, security and other functions that need to operate during a visit.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until they are deleted. They may remember preferences, recognise a returning visitor or support measurement over time. The period for which a persistent cookie remains may vary depending on its purpose and the provider that places it.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by another service or domain. Third parties may use cookies to provide analytics, security, payment support, content, advertising or other technical services. Their use of information may be governed by their own policies, which we encourage you to review where appropriate.

4. Your cookie choices

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Depending on the browser and device you use, you may be able to view, block, delete or restrict cookies. You may also be able to receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Instructions are normally available through the help or settings section of your browser.

If a cookie banner or preference tool is made available on the website, you may use it to manage non-essential cookie choices. Your settings may apply only to the browser or device where they are selected. If you use another device, browser or a private browsing mode, you may need to make your choices again.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect website performance. Essential cookies may not be optional where they are necessary to provide a requested service. If you restrict these cookies, you may be unable to sign in, use account features, access gaming functions or complete certain activities.

Disabling analytics or marketing cookies does not necessarily stop all advertising or promotional content. It may mean that content is less relevant to your interests or that activity cannot be measured in the same way. You may also need to manage preferences directly with some third-party providers.

Use any cookie preference controls displayed on the Drake Casino website.
Delete existing cookies if you no longer want them stored on your device.
Manage permissions for similar technologies through your device operating system where those controls are available.

5. Privacy, updates and further information

Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, browser type, device information, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, visit times, referring website and interactions with website features. Depending on the technology and your use of the website, information may also be associated with an account or other information you provide.

When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised date where appropriate.
