Our Cookie Policy in Plain English
This page sets out every cookie we set when you visit winnerz-aud.com, what each one does, how long it stays on your device, and how you can refuse most of them. We wrote it without legal jargon on purpose, because you should not need a law degree to control your own data.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that our website saves on your device the first time you land on it. When you come back, your browser sends that file to our server so we remember something useful: that you are already logged in, that you picked English as your language, or that you dismissed our cookie banner.
There is nothing mysterious in the file itself. It holds a name, a value and an expiry date, and it is usually only a few hundred bytes. Cookies cannot read files off your computer, install software or snoop on other sites you visit. Each cookie is tied to the domain that created it, which in our case is winnerz-aud.com.
We also use a small number of similar technologies, such as local storage entries that keep your game volume setting between sessions. Everything in this policy applies to them in the same way it applies to cookies.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working, and we cannot run winnerz-aud.com without them. A session cookie identifies you after you log in, so you do not have to re-enter your credentials on every page. A security cookie protects your account by flagging suspicious login attempts and helping us block automated attacks. Because they are essential, we set them before you make any choice in the banner, and the law allows this.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example names | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login sessions, security, fraud checks | WINNERZ_SESS, winnerz_auth, winnerz_csrf | Session or 24 hours | No, required for the site to function |
| Functional | Language, currency, game preferences | winnerz_lang, winnerz_curr, winnerz_prefs | 30 days | Yes, via banner or browser settings |
| Analytics | Aggregated visit statistics | winnerz_stats, _aud_metrics | 90 days | Yes, via banner or browser settings |
| Marketing | Promotional relevance, frequency control | winnerz_mark, winnerz_camp | 365 days | Yes, via banner or browser settings |
Why We Use Each Category
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have already made. If you set AUD as your display currency, switch the lobby to your favourite provider filter, or mute a game, a functional cookie carries that choice to your next visit. Refusing them means re-doing those settings every time you open the site.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, how the site performs. We learn which pages load slowly, where players drop off during deposit, and which games get the most traffic. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We do not use it to build an individual profile, and we never sell it.
Marketing
Marketing cookies limit how often you see our promotions and help us show offers that match your interests, such as a cashback banner for someone who plays live tables rather than a slots bonus. If you block them, you will still see ads, just less relevant ones, and possibly the same creative more often than we would otherwise show it.
Cookies From Third Parties
Some cookies on our pages are placed by partners we work with directly, not by us. We allow three categories of third-party cookies, and each one answers to a written contract with us that limits what it may collect.
Analytics providers help us measure site speed and traffic patterns, and they report only aggregated numbers back to us. Ad networks deliver our promotional campaigns across other websites and control how often the same ad reaches you. Payment providers set cookies during deposit and withdrawal flows so your transaction screen recognises your session and keeps the process secure; if you block these during a payment, the transaction may fail and you would need to start again.
We do not permit third parties to place cookies on our site for any purpose outside these three categories. If a partner changes what its cookies do, we reassess it before the cookie stays.
Manage Your Preferences
On our site
The first time you visit, our banner asks you to accept all cookies or pick the categories you want. Your choice sticks. You can change it at any time by opening the cookie settings link in the footer of every page, where you can switch functional, analytics and marketing cookies on or off individually. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off, because the site stops working without them.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies yourself, regardless of what you told us. Here is where the setting lives in the four most common ones:
Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies.
Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or cross-site tracking.
Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then choose your cookie history level under Enhanced Tracking Protection.
Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, where you can block third-party cookies only.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, then block cookies or cross-site tracking
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Enhanced Tracking Protection
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then block third-party cookies
What blocking means
Blocking strictly necessary cookies breaks login, deposits and withdrawals, so we advise against it. Blocking functional cookies means your language, currency and display choices reset each visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay at all; you simply see less relevant promotions and we lose some statistics about how the site performs.
How Long We Keep Cookies
We keep each category only as long as it serves its purpose, and no longer. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Functional cookies last 30 days, which covers a normal pattern of returning weekly for promotions. Analytics cookies run for 90 days, long enough to compare month-on-month performance. Marketing cookies persist for 365 days, the standard window advertising platforms need for frequency control.
Deleting cookies yourself works at any point. Clearing your browser's site data removes every cookie we set, including your login session, so you will need to sign in again on your next visit.
Changes to This Policy
When we add a new cookie, change a partner or alter how long a category lasts, we update this page and bump the version number at the top of it. If a change reduces your control over your data, we also announce it in the cookie settings screen before the new cookie is set, so you get a fresh choice rather than a done deal. This policy was last reviewed in 2026.
Questions about anything here go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], which our support team monitors 24/7, and we answer privacy enquiries as a priority.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play at Winnerz Casino with all cookies blocked?
No. Strictly necessary cookies handle login, deposits and withdrawal security, so the site cannot function without them. You can block every other category and play normally.
Where do I change my cookie choices after dismissing the banner?
Open the cookie settings link in the footer of any page on winnerz-aud.com. You can switch functional, analytics and marketing cookies on or off individually at any time.
Do you sell the data your cookies collect?
No. Analytics data is aggregated and marketing data is used only to make our own promotions relevant. We never sell cookie data to anyone.
Will deleting cookies log me out?
Yes. Clearing site data removes your login session, so you will need to sign in again. Your account, balance and settings on our side are unaffected.
