This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar tracking technologies may be used when you browse StoneVegas Casino. Cookies are small files placed on your device by a website or related technology provider. They help the site remember basic information, measure how pages are used, and support features such as affiliate link attribution.
For visitors in Australia, we aim to describe cookie use in clear, practical terms so you can understand what is happening in your browser and decide how much tracking you are comfortable with. This page is intended to help explain how casino review sites use cookies in AU-facing content, including analytics, performance monitoring, preference storage, and referral tracking.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. They can contain simple information such as a session ID, language preference, device type, or a record that you clicked a particular link. Some cookies last only while your browser is open, while others remain for a set period unless you remove them.
Cookies do not usually identify you directly by name. Instead, they commonly recognise a browser or device. For example, a cookie may help the website know that the same browser returned later, but that does not necessarily tell us who the person using that browser is. Other technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, and analytics scripts, may work in a similar way.
Why Cookies Are Used on This Site
Cookies help make the website more usable, more reliable, and more relevant. On a casino review and information website, cookies may be used to understand which reviews are read most often, whether pages load correctly on different devices, and which comparison features are useful to visitors.
They may also support affiliate tracking. If you click from a review or comparison page to a third-party gambling website, a tracking link may record that the referral came from this site. This helps with attribution, reporting, and commercial transparency. It does not mean we can see your private account activity on another website.
In practical terms, cookies can help answer questions such as: Did a page load slowly for mobile users? Which responsible gambling information pages are being accessed? Are visitors using the same navigation paths repeatedly? This type of insight helps improve content structure and user experience.
Types of Cookies and Tracking Tools We May Use
Different cookies serve different purposes. The categories below describe the main types you may encounter while browsing this website.
- Necessary and functional cookies: These support basic website operation, such as page navigation, security-related functions, session management, and remembering simple site preferences.
- Performance and analytics cookies: These help measure traffic, page engagement, loading behaviour, and general browsing patterns. The information is typically used in aggregated or statistical form.
- Preference and customisation cookies: These may remember choices such as region settings, display preferences, or whether you have already seen a notification or banner.
- Marketing, referral, and advertising cookies: These may help track clicks on affiliate links, understand campaign performance, or support advertising measurement by third-party partners.
Not every visitor will receive every category of cookie. The exact cookies may depend on your location, browser settings, consent choices, device, and the pages you visit.
How Cookies Affect Affiliate Links
Some links on this website may be affiliate links. When you select one of these links, cookies or similar tracking methods may help identify that the click came from our content. This is common across review, comparison, and information websites, including those discussing cookies and tracking for online casinos in Australia.
Affiliate tracking usually focuses on the referral event rather than your personal identity. For example, a partner may receive information that a user clicked a link from a specific review page at a certain time. The partner may then use its own systems to determine whether a referral qualifies under its terms. Once you leave this website, the destination website’s own privacy and cookie practices apply.
We encourage users to review third-party privacy notices before creating accounts, claiming offers, or providing personal information on external websites.
First-Party Cookies vs Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting directly. For example, a first-party cookie may help this site remember that you closed a cookie banner or selected a preferred display option.
Third-party cookies are set by external services that operate through the website. These may include analytics platforms, advertising measurement tools, embedded content providers, or affiliate tracking systems. Third-party tools may have their own rules for storing, processing, and deleting data.
A simple way to think about the difference is this: first-party cookies help the website function and remember your interaction with it, while third-party cookies often help outside services measure, analyse, or attribute activity connected to the website.
Managing or Disabling Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways. When available, a cookie notice or consent banner may allow you to accept, reject, or adjust certain categories of cookies. Your choice may be stored so the site can remember it on future visits, although clearing your browser data may reset that preference.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, restrict third-party cookies, or receive alerts when a website attempts to store them. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use.
- Safari: Cookie and tracking controls are generally found under privacy settings.
- Firefox: Enhanced tracking protection and cookie controls can be adjusted through privacy and security settings.
- Chrome: Cookie permissions, site data, and third-party cookie settings can be managed through privacy and security controls.
If you disable cookies completely, some parts of the site may not work as intended. For example, preferences may not be remembered, analytics may be limited, or certain referral links may not attribute correctly. You can usually revisit your settings later if you change your mind.
Third-Party Services
This website may use third-party services to support analytics, traffic measurement, security checks, advertising reporting, and affiliate tracking. These services may set their own cookies or collect limited technical information such as browser type, device category, approximate location, referral source, time on page, and interaction events.
Third-party providers may change their technologies from time to time. We do not control every cookie placed by external services, but we aim to provide clear information about the general categories of tools that may be used. When you click through to another website, its own cookie policy and privacy notice will govern your activity there.
For visitors comparing Australian-facing casino information, this is an important distinction: this website may measure how users interact with review content, while external sites may separately manage registration, payments, promotional claims, identity checks, and account activity under their own policies.
Data Protection Note for Australian Visitors
We treat cookie information as part of a broader approach to responsible data handling. While cookies are often technical and limited in scope, they can still reveal useful patterns about browsing behaviour. For that reason, we aim to explain their purpose in plain language rather than relying on vague labels.
Australian users are increasingly aware of privacy expectations around online tracking, targeted advertising, and data sharing. This policy is designed to support transparency without making broad legal guarantees. If you want to reduce tracking, the most practical steps are to review cookie banner options, block third-party cookies in your browser, clear stored site data periodically, and read the policies of external websites before interacting with them.
Security and Data Handling
Cookies are not the same as passwords, payment details, or identity documents. However, cookie-related information should still be handled carefully. We may use security-related tools to help detect unusual traffic, protect site availability, and reduce misuse of website functions.
No online system can guarantee absolute security, and cookie controls depend partly on your own browser, device, and settings. Keeping your browser updated, avoiding suspicious extensions, and regularly reviewing privacy settings can help you maintain better control over your browsing data.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be revised from time to time to reflect changes in website features, analytics tools, affiliate arrangements, or tracking technologies. When updates are made, the wording on this page may be adjusted so users have a current explanation of how cookies are used.
Last updated: 29 May 2026. We recommend checking this page occasionally, especially if you regularly use StoneVegas Casino for reviews, comparisons, or informational content.
