Heapsowins Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Heapsowins Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our online casino services in Australia. It describes what these technologies do, why we use them, and the choices available to you.
Cookies help Heapsowins Casino provide a secure, reliable and personalised website experience. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. Where required, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser or device and remember certain information between visits.
Some cookies are placed directly by Heapsowins Casino, while others may be set by service providers that support website operation, analytics, advertising or security functions. Cookies can be session-based, meaning they expire when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a defined period or until you remove them.
We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and device identifiers. These technologies may perform functions comparable to cookies and are covered by this policy when used on our website.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used by Heapsowins Casino generally fall into the following categories:
- Essential cookies, which support core website functions, account security and responsible access to our services.
- Performance cookies, which help us understand how visitors use the website and identify areas for improvement.
- Functional cookies, which remember preferences and make the website more convenient to use.
- Marketing cookies, which may help us deliver relevant promotional content and measure advertising activity.
The precise cookies in use may change as our website, technology providers and services develop. Some cookies may serve more than one purpose, and the classification of a particular cookie depends on how it is used.
Cookies We Need
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly. Without them, important features may not work, and certain services may be unavailable. These cookies do not normally store information designed to identify you for advertising purposes.
At Heapsowins Casino, essential cookies may be used to:
- Maintain a secure connection while you browse and use your account.
- Support sign-in, session management and account navigation.
- Help protect the website against fraud, abuse, automated attacks and other security risks.
- Remember cookie consent choices where applicable.
- Route requests across technical systems and maintain website stability.
- Support age-gating and access controls relevant to our 18+ services.
Because these cookies support core functions, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools. You may be able to block them through your browser, but doing so could prevent parts of Heapsowins Casino from operating properly or may restrict access to account features.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors interact with our website. They may show which pages are visited, how long pages take to load, whether users encounter errors and how visitors move through the site.
The information is used to assess website performance and improve usability, content, navigation and technical reliability. These cookies may provide aggregated or statistical information rather than directly identifying you. Where analytics services process information on our behalf, we expect them to apply appropriate safeguards and use the information only for authorised purposes.
Performance cookies can help Heapsowins Casino identify technical issues, understand which features are useful and make informed improvements to the online casino experience. If you decline these cookies, the website can usually remain available, although our ability to measure and improve performance may be reduced.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. They are intended to make future visits more convenient without changing the essential operation of the service.
Depending on the features available, functional cookies may remember settings such as language selection, regional preferences, display choices or other options you choose while browsing. They may also help us provide content that reflects your previous selections.
Declining functional cookies should not normally prevent you from using essential services, but some preferences may need to be selected again each time you visit. Information stored through these cookies is not intended to replace the account, identity or verification processes that may apply to Heapsowins Casino services.
Promotional Technologies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, limit how often an advertisement is shown, or present advertising that is more relevant to your interests. They may be placed by Heapsowins Casino or by approved advertising and measurement partners.
These cookies can help us understand whether visitors arrive through a particular campaign and whether promotional content is engaging. They may also support audience measurement across websites or devices, subject to the choices and controls available in the relevant services.
Heapsowins Casino does not use marketing cookies as a substitute for responsible gambling controls. Promotional activity remains subject to applicable internal requirements, age restrictions and responsible marketing practices. Marketing cookies are not required for you to browse the core website, and where consent is required, they will be used only after you have made the relevant choice.
Controlling Cookie Choices
You can manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or preference tool displayed on our website, where available. Your choices may be saved in a preference cookie so that we do not repeatedly ask you to make the same selection during the relevant period.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies, and some provide options to block third-party cookies separately. Browser controls vary, so you should consult the help information for the browser and device you use.
- Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to make selections again.
- Blocking all cookies may affect sign-in, account access, security features and website functionality.
- Changing browser or device settings may apply to every website you visit, not only Heapsowins Casino.
- Opting out of personalised advertising may not remove all advertising; it may instead make advertisements less tailored to your interests.
Cookie choices do not necessarily remove information already collected before the change. They also do not affect information processed under other notices or settings, including account, security and responsible gambling processes. If you need help with a website preference, please use the contact page.
Services Provided by Others
Some cookies and similar technologies may be set by third parties that provide services for Heapsowins Casino. These providers may support analytics, security, website hosting, payment-related functionality, fraud prevention, advertising measurement or other technical operations.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant provider and may be subject to that provider's own privacy notice and cookie settings. We select service providers with regard to the nature of the service they provide, but we cannot control every aspect of a third party's technology or website.
Third-party services may process information about your browser, device, website activity or interactions with their tools. The availability of these technologies and the identity of providers may change over time. Where appropriate, we use contractual, technical or organisational measures to support the secure and appropriate handling of information.
You can often manage third-party cookies through our preference tool, your browser settings or controls provided by the relevant third party. Blocking third-party technologies may affect certain embedded features or measurement functions while leaving essential Heapsowins Casino services available.
Changes to This Policy
Heapsowins Casino may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers or operational practices change. We may also revise it to reflect changes in applicable expectations or to explain our practices more clearly.
The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate. Significant changes may be highlighted through the website or cookie preference tool when required. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you understand how cookies are used.
Your continued use of the website after an update takes place will be subject to the revised policy, except where a separate consent or other action is required. This policy should be read together with the other privacy, security, account and responsible gambling information made available by Heapsowins Casino.
