Pistolo Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Pistolo Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our online casino services in Australia. It describes what these technologies do, the categories we may use, and the choices available to you.
Cookies can help Pistolo Casino operate securely, remember selected preferences, understand how visitors use our website, and present more relevant content. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and other applicable website terms. Pistolo Casino is intended for people aged 18 years and over.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or another internet-connected device when you visit a website. They usually contain information that allows the website to recognise your browser or remember activity during a visit. Some cookies remain only while your browser is open, while others stay on your device for a defined period or until you remove them.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage, and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and these comparable tools unless a distinction is necessary.
Cookies do not generally give Pistolo Casino direct access to files stored on your device. They may support technical functions, security checks, account preferences, website analytics, and advertising measurement. The information associated with a cookie may be linked with other information we hold, depending on how you use our services and the choices you make.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used on the Pistolo Casino website may be grouped according to their purpose. A single cookie can sometimes support more than one function, but the main categories are as follows:
- Essential cookies help the website operate and support core services such as account access, security, session management, and responsible navigation.
- Performance cookies provide information about website use, including page visits, loading behaviour, errors, and general navigation patterns.
- Functional cookies remember choices and settings to make the website more convenient and consistent.
- Marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, or deliver content that is more relevant to a visitor.
The precise cookies in use may change as the website, technology providers, and services develop. Where a consent mechanism is provided, the available categories and options may be shown there in more detail.
Cookies Needed for Core Services
Essential cookies are necessary for key features of Pistolo Casino to function. They may support the creation and maintenance of a secure browsing session, movement between pages, authentication processes, fraud prevention, and protection against unauthorised activity. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work correctly.
These cookies can also help us remember temporary information during a transaction or account session. For example, they may help maintain a consistent connection while you move through secure areas, preserve security settings, or identify unusual technical activity.
Because essential cookies support functions requested by a visitor or are needed to provide the website, they may not be switchable through ordinary preference tools. You can usually block them through browser settings, but doing so may prevent access to account features, games, payment functions, or other parts of Pistolo Casino.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies help Pistolo Casino understand how the website operates and how visitors interact with it. They may record information such as the pages visited, approximate time spent on a page, general navigation paths, browser type, device category, and whether an error occurred.
This information is generally used in an aggregated or pseudonymous form to identify technical problems and improve speed, stability, layout, and usability. Performance information can show whether a page is difficult to use or whether a feature needs improvement, without necessarily identifying an individual visitor directly.
Where consent is required, performance cookies will be used in accordance with the choices available through our cookie banner or preference centre. Declining these cookies should not normally prevent access to essential website functions, although it may reduce our ability to identify and resolve usability issues based on website activity.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember information selected by you. Depending on the services available, this may include language or display preferences, regional settings, a previously selected option, or other choices that make a return visit more convenient.
These cookies are not always essential for the website to load, but they can improve the experience by reducing the need to repeat the same selections. If you reject or delete them, some preferences may need to be entered again each time you visit, and certain features may operate using their default settings.
Functional cookies do not remove the need to comply with account, age, identity, security, or responsible gambling requirements. Pistolo Casino may still ask for information or confirmation where this is necessary to provide services safely and appropriately to customers aged 18 and over.
Advertising and Campaign Tools
Marketing cookies may be used to understand how visitors arrive at Pistolo Casino, measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, and assess interactions with advertising or promotional content. They may also help reduce the number of times the same advertisement is shown or support the delivery of content that is more relevant to a visitor’s interests.
These technologies can collect information about browsing activity across a website or, where provided by an external service, across different websites and digital platforms. They do not necessarily identify you by name, but information may be associated with a browser, device, or online identifier.
Marketing cookies will be used only where permitted and, where applicable, after you have given the required consent. Refusing them should not normally prevent you from using the core Pistolo Casino website. You may still see promotional material, but it may be less tailored or less closely measured.
Controlling Cookie Choices
When available, Pistolo Casino’s cookie banner or preference tool allows you to accept or reject selected non-essential cookie categories. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the website can recognise them. If you clear your cookies, use a different browser, or change devices, you may be asked to make your selections again.
You can also manage cookies through the settings in your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block particular categories, block all cookies, or delete cookies when the browser is closed. The relevant steps vary by browser and device, so you should consult the provider’s instructions for current guidance.
- Blocking all cookies may affect sign-in, account security, game access, payment processes, and other website functions.
- Deleting cookies does not necessarily remove information already collected or held in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
- Choices made on one browser or device may not apply to another browser or device.
- Some services may use alternative technologies that are not controlled solely through standard browser cookie settings.
If a consent preference centre is available on the website, you may revisit it to change your choices. You can also review the Pistolo Casino contact page for general information about how to raise a website or privacy query. We will apply reasonable efforts to reflect valid preferences, although certain technical cookies may remain necessary for the website to operate.
Services Provided by Others
Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third-party providers that support Pistolo Casino. These providers may assist with website analytics, security, fraud detection, technical performance, advertising measurement, payment-related functionality, or other services used to operate the website.
Third parties may process information under their own privacy policies and terms. Their technologies may be subject to separate settings, and Pistolo Casino may not control every aspect of how those providers process information. Where appropriate, we use contractual, technical, and organisational measures intended to manage third-party access and protect information.
The presence of a third-party cookie does not mean that Pistolo Casino endorses every service offered by that provider. You should review the relevant provider’s information if you want to understand its practices or available opt-out controls. Third-party tools may change as we update our website, introduce new features, or replace service providers.
Changes to This Policy
Pistolo Casino may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, services, business processes, or legal and regulatory environment changes. An updated version will be published on this page with a revised date or other indication of when it takes effect, where appropriate.
Changes may include the introduction of a new cookie category, a change in the providers used, or clearer information about how cookie choices operate. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about our current approach.
Where a change materially affects your choices or requires renewed consent, we will provide an appropriate notice or preference mechanism. Continuing to use the website after an updated policy is published may indicate that you have read the revised information, but it will not replace consent where consent is legally required.
