Cookies Policy | MyEmpire Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile device or other internet-connected device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise a device, remember certain settings and understand how visitors use its pages. Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you, although information collected through cookies may be linked with other information held about you where permitted by law.

MyEmpire Casino may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, the word cookies includes these technologies where the context allows. These tools can help us provide a consistent online experience, protect accounts and transactions, maintain website functionality and improve our services.

Some cookies are placed by MyEmpire Casino, while others may be placed by service providers that support website operations, analytics, security, communications or other functions. Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to that party's own privacy or cookie information.

Your choices

Where required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies. You can use the cookie preference controls made available on the website to accept, reject or adjust optional cookies. You may also change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. If you disable certain cookies, parts of the website may not work correctly, and some features may be unavailable or less personalised.

Essential cookies cannot generally be switched off through the website's optional cookie controls because they are needed to provide requested services. You can still manage cookies through your browser or device settings, but doing so may affect access to account areas, secure pages, games, payment functions or other website features.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for basic website functions. They may support page navigation, account access, session management, security controls, fraud prevention, responsible gambling features, consent preferences and the delivery of secure services. Without them, the website may not be able to respond properly to requests or remember actions taken during a visit.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies help remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. They may make returning to the website more convenient and help provide a more consistent experience. If these cookies are disabled, some preferences may need to be entered again each time you visit.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about pages viewed, links selected, time spent on pages, navigation paths, loading performance and technical errors. We use this information in an aggregated or otherwise controlled form to identify problems, measure performance and improve content, usability and website services.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to help detect unusual activity, protect accounts, prevent abuse and support the integrity of payments, promotions and other online interactions. These technologies may collect information about a device, browser, connection, session and behaviour on the website. They are used for security and risk management and are not intended to replace other identity or account checks.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where permitted and where you have provided any required consent, advertising or marketing technologies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand engagement and present information that is more relevant to your interests. These technologies may be operated by MyEmpire Casino or by approved service providers. You can usually refuse optional marketing cookies through the website preference tool or your browser settings.

Social media and embedded content

Some pages may include content, tools or links supplied by other organisations. Those organisations may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is displayed or used. MyEmpire Casino does not control the cookies placed by external websites. You should review the relevant third party's information before interacting with its services.

How we use cookie information

Information obtained through cookies may be used for several legitimate business and service purposes, subject to applicable law and any consent requirements. The purposes may include operating the website, remembering preferences, keeping sessions active, supporting account security, identifying technical faults, investigating suspicious activity and improving the performance of online services.

To provide pages, account functions and online features that you request.
To maintain secure sessions and reduce the risk of unauthorised access.
To remember cookie choices, settings and other preferences.
To understand website traffic and improve navigation, content and performance.
To monitor technical reliability, diagnose errors and test website changes.
To support fraud prevention, responsible gambling controls and risk management.
To measure the effectiveness of communications and marketing where permitted.
To produce reports and statistics using information that may be aggregated or de-identified.
To comply with legal, regulatory, auditing and record-keeping obligations.
To protect the rights, property and safety of MyEmpire Casino, players and other people.

Cookie information may be combined with information you provide directly, information collected when you use an account and technical information about your device. This may help us understand whether activity belongs to the same session or device, identify security risks and provide relevant website functionality. We will handle this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Cookies are not used to encourage unsafe gambling. Where relevant, information from online activity may support responsible gambling safeguards, account protection and the detection of behaviour that requires review. Cookies cannot by themselves determine a person's identity, financial circumstances, gambling risk or suitability for any service.

Managing cookies and further information

Browser and device controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies through their privacy or security settings. The steps differ between browsers and devices. You can also use private browsing features, although these may not prevent all forms of technical storage or stop essential cookies from being used. Blocking cookies on one browser or device may not apply to another browser or device.

If you delete cookies, previously saved preferences may be removed and you may need to sign in or confirm your choices again. Blocking essential cookies can prevent the website from operating as intended. You should consider these effects before changing your settings, particularly when accessing secure account areas or using services that require an active session.

Cookie duration

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser or finish a session. Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted. The length of time depends on the purpose of the cookie, the service involved and the settings applied by the relevant provider. We may review and update cookies as website functions and operational requirements change.

Information shared with service providers

We may use technology and service providers to host, secure, analyse, maintain or improve the website. These providers may process cookie-related information on our behalf and may only use it for authorised purposes, subject to appropriate contractual, technical and organisational safeguards. Some providers may operate in countries outside Australia. Further information about handling, access, disclosure and overseas processing is available in our Privacy Policy.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or business practices. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should review this page occasionally to remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies are used.

Questions and privacy requests

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, want to review or manage available preferences, or wish to make a privacy request, please use the contact or privacy request process provided on the MyEmpire Casino website. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request involving personal information. Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing any applicable cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be used as described in this policy, subject to your available choices and any consent requirements. This policy does not change any rights or obligations set out in the website terms, Privacy Policy or applicable Australian law.
