Which cookies this site sets, what each one does, how long it persists, and step-by-step browser instructions for managing or blocking them. This policy is a companion document to the privacy policy.
A cookie is a small text file that a website instructs your browser to store on your device. On your next visit, the browser returns the file to the site, allowing it to recognise your session state or stored preferences. Related technologies — local storage, session storage, web beacons, tracking pixels — perform similar functions by slightly different technical mechanisms, and this page uses "cookies" as a shorthand covering all of them.
The cookies on this site fall into four categories, three of which are in active use. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site functional. Analytics cookies produce aggregate traffic data in anonymised form. Functional cookies remember display preferences. Advertising cookies are not used here and are listed solely to confirm their absence. We do not build advertising profiles, run retargeting campaigns or sell cookie-derived data to any third party.
These cookies are required for the site to function correctly and cannot be disabled without breaking it. They handle session state, security challenge validation and infrastructure load balancing. No personal profile is built from strictly necessary cookies, and they cannot be opted out of without preventing core functionality from working.
These cookies help us understand how the site is used in aggregate — which pages receive traffic, how long sessions run, what device types and operating systems visit, and whether visitors arrive from search or from direct links. IP addresses are anonymised before any analytics processing. No individual is identified by name or account. The data informs decisions about which sections of the review to update first and where the site's structure could be improved for readers.
These cookies store user preferences — specifically language selection and display theme — so that the site renders in the expected configuration on return visits without requiring reselection each time.
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies. This category is included to confirm explicitly that it is absent from this site. Affiliate click attribution — the mechanism that records which clicks led to registrations, for commission purposes — is described separately below under its own heading because it is technically adjacent to marketing tracking, though it serves a different purpose.

Third-party services update their cookie implementations periodically. If you observe a cookie on this site that is not in the table above, please contact us with the cookie name and we will investigate and update this list. The last verified check of this table was 19 June 2026.
Cloudflare acts as our content delivery network and provides DDoS protection, bot management and performance acceleration. Their cookies exist to protect the site from abusive traffic and to deliver pages quickly to visitors across different geographic locations. Cloudflare processes IP addresses and request metadata for these purposes. Full detail is at the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
We use GA4 in anonymised-IP mode with all advertising and remarketing features disabled. GA4 cookies allow us to see aggregate site usage — pages per session, approximate session duration, device category split, broad geographic distribution — without identifying any individual reader. This data helps us understand which sections of the review are most read and where the site structure might be improved for Australian players. Full detail is at the Google Privacy Policy. The GA opt-out browser add-on blocks GA4 collection across every website you visit, not just this one.
When you click an outbound link to Casiny Casino, a click identifier is passed to the operator's affiliate network (typically Income Access, NetRefer or an equivalent programme). That identifier credits casinycasinoo.net with the referral if you subsequently register and deposit. Nothing personal travels with the click beyond what your browser transmits on any standard navigation — IP address, user-agent and referrer URL. The full commercial context is disclosed at the affiliate disclosure page.
All cookies on this site can be managed through your browser's settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will cause parts of the site to behave incorrectly; blocking analytics and functional cookies will not affect the ability to read the review or follow any link. Browser instructions for the most common platforms are below.
Blocking all cookies including strictly necessary ones may cause the site to behave unexpectedly — language and theme preferences will reset on every visit, and session state may not persist between pages. If you prefer to block specific third-party scripts rather than all cookies, uBlock Origin and similar browser extensions allow fine-grained blocking of individual providers such as google-analytics.com or cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi without affecting first-party session cookies.
Google Analytics 4 does not act on the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. We do not change our data collection based on DNT signals. To prevent GA4 from collecting data, use the opt-out add-on linked above or block the google-analytics.com domain in your browser or network-level DNS filter.
When the cookies on this site change — a provider is added or removed, a retention period is updated, or a third-party service modifies its implementation — we update the table above and advance the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Earlier versions of this policy are available on request through the contact page.
Questions about specific cookies or broader data handling can be directed to [email protected] with "Privacy" in the subject line. The complete picture of how personal data is handled across the site is at the privacy policy. Site use is also governed by the terms and conditions. This site is an independent casino review platform — background at the About page, review by Heath Sullivan using the methodology at how we test casinos and framework at how we rate casinos. Editorial standards are at the editorial policy; player welfare at responsible gambling.
