Cookie Policy

Last updated: Reading time : 6 min

This cookie policy explains how bitcoinbetting-au.com uses cookies and comparable storage technologies, what each category of cookie does, how long they last, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our privacy policy, which describes more broadly how we handle visitor data.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies are commonly used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to help site operators understand how their content is used. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels — behave in comparable ways and are covered by this policy even when they are not, strictly speaking, cookies.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by bitcoinbetting-au.com itself) or “third-party” (set by a service we use on the site). They can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or are deleted. bitcoinbetting-au.com uses the minimum set of cookies consistent with running a functional, secure and measurable editorial site.

Consent

When you first visit bitcoinbetting-au.com you are shown a cookie banner that explains what is set and asks for your preferences. Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because the site cannot operate without them; this is permitted under the ePrivacy rules that apply across the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and comparable frameworks. Non-essential cookies — including analytics cookies — are only set after you have given informed, affirmative consent. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the cookie banner or clearing cookies in your browser.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies are used to deliver the site itself. They keep the site secure, remember your cookie consent preferences so the banner does not reappear on every page, and support basic technical functions such as load balancing and abuse prevention. Without these cookies the site cannot be provided. They are first-party, typically short-lived, and carry no personal identifier beyond what is needed for the function they perform.

Preference cookies, if used, remember choices you make about how the site is presented — for example, a toggle between text sizes or a decision to dismiss a particular informational notice. They are first-party, persistent for a limited period, and are set only where you have given consent or made an explicit choice.

Analytics cookies, if used, help us understand at an aggregated level how readers use the site — which pages are read, how long visitors stay, which referring sources bring readers in. The data is used to improve editorial coverage and is not used to build an individual profile of you. Analytics cookies are set only after consent through the cookie banner. Where an analytics provider processes data outside your jurisdiction, the transfer is made under the appropriate legal mechanism described in our privacy policy.

bitcoinbetting-au.com does not use advertising cookies. We do not run behavioural advertising, we do not participate in real-time bidding exchanges, and we do not allow third-party advertisers to set tracking cookies through our pages. Coverage on bitcoinbetting-au.com is editorially independent and is not funded by the placement of ad trackers on readers.

Third-party services

bitcoinbetting-au.com uses a small number of third-party infrastructure services to operate — for example, content delivery and, where consent has been given, web analytics. These providers may set their own cookies as part of providing the service. We select providers who publish clear privacy and cookie documentation and who bind themselves to appropriate data-protection obligations. Where a third-party service sets a cookie on a page of bitcoinbetting-au.com, it is listed in the consent tool so you can make an informed decision about whether to allow it.

Some pages on bitcoinbetting-au.com link out to third-party websites — regulators, non-profit organisations, published research sources. These sites operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control. If you follow a link out of bitcoinbetting-au.com, you should review the destination site’s policies before continuing.

How long cookies last

Cookie lifetimes differ by category. Strictly necessary cookies usually expire at the end of the browsing session or shortly afterwards. Consent preference cookies persist for a limited period — typically measured in months — so that we do not repeatedly ask the same visitor to re-consent on every visit. Analytics cookies, where used, expire within a period consistent with the provider’s documented retention rules and are reviewed periodically. We keep cookie lifetimes as short as is consistent with the purpose they serve.

Managing cookies in your browser

Independent of the consent tool on bitcoinbetting-au.com, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and others — lets you view the cookies set on your device, delete individual cookies, block cookies from specific sites, or block cookies in general. Browser settings also typically allow you to clear all cookies and site data in a single action.

Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of bitcoinbetting-au.com to stop working as expected — for example, the consent banner may reappear on every page. Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on your ability to read the site; it only removes the contribution your visit would otherwise have made to aggregated usage statistics.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” header or a “Global Privacy Control” signal. Where we detect such a signal, we treat it as an instruction not to set non-essential cookies, independent of any answer given to the consent banner. We do not treat such signals as a reason to block necessary site operations.

Changes to this policy

We update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the tools we use or in the law. The revision date at the end of the page indicates when it was last reviewed. Material changes will be surfaced through the cookie banner so that your consent can be renewed where it is required.
