Our Cookie Policy in Plain English
This page explains what cookies we place on spellwin-aud.com, what each one does, how long it stays on your device, and how you can switch any of it off whenever you like. We launched in 2024 and we keep this policy in plain language so you never need a law degree to read it.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that our website saves on your device when you visit. It holds a short string of letters and numbers so our server can recognise your browser next time. Without cookies, we could not keep you logged in during a session or remember that you already dismissed the cookie banner.
Cookies are not programs and cannot read files off your computer or install anything. They only send back the information we put in them, such as your session ID or your chosen language. Similar technologies we use include localStorage, which works the same way but stays in your browser rather than travelling with every request.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and secure. When you log in to your Spellwin Casino account, we set a session cookie that identifies you until you log out or close the tab. We also set a CSRF token cookie that protects your deposits and profile changes from cross-site request forgery. You cannot play for real money with these switched off, so they do not require your consent.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices so you do not repeat them on every visit. They store your selected language, your preferred currency such as AUD, whether you want odds in decimal format, and your game volume settings. If you reject these, the site still works but forgets your preferences each time.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how visitors move around the site: which pages get views, where people abandon a deposit, which game categories load slowest. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can refuse analytics cookies at any time without losing access to any feature.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show you relevant offers, such as the weekend reload bonus of 50% up to AUD 1,100, on other websites after you leave ours. They also cap how often you see the same ad. These are the only category we never set without your explicit consent.
| Cookie name (example) | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sw_session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in during your session | Session |
| sw_csrf | Strictly necessary | Protects forms from forgery attacks | Session |
| sw_lang | Functional | Remembers your language choice | 90 days |
| sw_cur | Functional | Remembers your currency, e.g. AUD | 90 days |
| sw_anon | Analytics | Aggregate traffic measurement | 30 days |
| sw_mkt | Marketing | Retargeting and ad frequency control | 365 days |
Third Party Cookies We Allow
Some cookies on our pages come from other companies we work with, not from us. Analytics providers help us measure traffic with aggregated reporting tools. Advertising networks serve the promotional banners you see and measure whether an offer performed. Payment providers, such as the processors behind Visa, Mastercard and crypto transactions, may set their own cookies on their checkout pages to verify your payment and prevent fraud.
We do not control third-party cookies and cannot delete them for you. Each provider's privacy notice governs its own data, and you can opt out directly with the provider or through your browser settings. We never pass your identity documents or KYC records to advertising networks.
How Long We Keep Them
Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a fixed period, which we cap by category: strictly necessary cookies last as long as your session, functional cookies for 90 days, analytics cookies for 30 days, and marketing cookies for up to 365 days with your consent.
When a persistent cookie reaches its expiry date, your browser deletes it automatically. Logging out clears your session and authentication cookies immediately, and you can wipe any category sooner through your browser settings or by clearing site data.
- Session: deleted when you close your browser
- Strictly necessary: session only
- Functional: up to 90 days
- Analytics: up to 30 days
- Marketing: up to 365 days, consent-based
Control Your Cookie Settings
On our site
When you first arrive, our cookie banner lets you accept all categories or reject everything except strictly necessary cookies with one tap. Change your mind later via the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer, where you can toggle analytics and marketing on or off individually. Your choice applies across the site straight away.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies yourself. In Chrome, open Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies. In Safari, go to Settings, then Privacy, and use Manage Website Data. In Firefox, look under Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data. In Edge, find the controls under Settings, Cookies and site permissions. Clearing cookies also logs you out of your Spellwin Casino account, so keep your password handy.
If you block strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place a bet. Blocking functional cookies means re-selecting language and currency every visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay whatsoever.
When We Update This Policy
We review this policy whenever we add a new cookie category or a new third-party provider. When a change is material, we post a notice on the site and, where required, show the consent banner again so you can reaffirm or revise your choices. The current version always lives on this page, and you can reach us at [email protected], 24 hours a day, with any question about how we use cookies.
Frequently asked questions
Can I play at Spellwin Casino without accepting marketing cookies?
Yes. Only strictly necessary cookies are required for real-money play. You can reject marketing and analytics cookies in the banner or via the Cookie preferences link in the footer, and everything on the site will still work.
How do I delete cookies that are already on my device?
Use your browser's clear browsing data or clear site data option. This removes every cookie our site has stored. You will be logged out afterwards and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
Do you share my cookie data with advertising networks?
We never share your KYC documents, payment details or identity with ad networks. Marketing cookies carry a random identifier so ads can be capped and measured, nothing more.
What happens if I block all cookies?
You can still browse the site, but logging in, depositing and playing for real money will not work, because strictly necessary session and security cookies are required for those functions.
How long do marketing cookies stay on my device?
Up to 365 days, and only with your consent. Analytics cookies last up to 30 days, functional cookies up to 90 days, and strictly necessary cookies expire when your session ends.
