Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how PlayAussiePokie uses them on playaussiepokie.com (the “Site”), and the choices available to you. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to remember your preferences, recognise you on return visits, and analyse how the site is used. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, web beacons (pixels), and device fingerprinting.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
age_gate | Records that you have confirmed you are 18+ | 30 days |
cookielawinfo-* | Stores your cookie-consent preferences | 1 year |
wordpress_* / wp-settings-* | Session and login state (only if you create an account) | Session / 1 year |
__cf_bm / cf_clearance | Cloudflare security and bot protection | 30 minutes / 1 year |
2.2 Functional
These remember your preferences (such as language or accepted theme). Set only with your consent.
2.3 Analytics
We may use analytics cookies to understand aggregated visitor behaviour. These cookies are only set after you choose “Accept All” or “Customise → Analytics” in the cookie banner. Examples include short-lived first-party identifiers used to count unique visits.
2.4 Advertising / Marketing
If you consent, the Site may set cookies and pixels supplied by Microsoft Advertising (UET tag) and similar measurement partners. These are used for conversion measurement and to make advertising more relevant. We do not allow third parties to use these cookies for cross-context behavioural advertising without your consent.
3. Your Choices
3.1 Cookie Banner
When you first visit the Site, a banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the consent-preferences icon at the bottom-left of the Site.
3.2 Browser Controls
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Help pages for the major browsers:
3.3 Opt-Out from Advertising Networks
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working, including the age-verification gateway.
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no industry consensus on how to respond to this signal; we therefore do not currently react to it. We rely on the cookie banner as the primary mechanism for your preferences.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
