Sportuna Casino Cookie Policy
Cookies keep your account secure, remember your language and carry the numbers we use to fix what breaks. This page lists every category we set, why it exists, how long it lasts and how you switch any of it off.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that our site places on your device when you visit. It stores a short string of data, nothing more: a session number, a language code, a preference flag. When you load your next page, your browser sends that string back so we know it is still you.
Think of them as your doorman's note. Without one, we would have to ask you to log in again on every single page, reset your currency to AUD each time you open a game, and treat every spin as your first. Cookies remove that friction. They are not programs, they cannot read files off your hard drive, and they cannot install anything.
Similar technologies do comparable jobs: local storage holds larger chunks of data in your browser, and pixels help us measure whether an ad brought you here. Wherever this page says "cookie", the same rules and choices apply to those technologies too.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
Four cookies fall in this group and we cannot run the site without them. They authenticate your login, keep your session alive as you move between games, protect forms against cross-site request forgery, and carry your deposit and withdrawal security checks. Our consent banner never asks about these because refusing them would log you out instantly and block every payment.
Functional
Your choices should survive the night. Functional cookies remember your interface language, your odds display format, your muted or unmuted live dealer tables and whether you collapsed the sportsbook menu last time. Without them we still serve you the full site, we just forget your preferences at the end of each session and you set them again.
Analytics
We count clicks in aggregate to find what breaks and what works. Analytics cookies show us which pages players abandon, which game categories load slowest on mobile and where a deposit flow loses people. The data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally, and it never feeds into decisions about your individual account.
Marketing
Only this category follows you off our site. Marketing cookies let our ad partners recognise that you visited sportuna-aud.com and show you our banners elsewhere instead of advertising a casino you have already joined. They also limit how often the same ad appears to you. This is the one group you can switch off entirely with no effect on gameplay, deposits or withdrawals.
Full cookie table
Here is the complete picture at a glance.
| Cookie type | Example names | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | session_id, auth_token, csrf_token | Login, session, payment security | Session or 30 days | No, required to operate |
| Functional | lang_pref, ui_theme, odds_format | Language, layout and display preferences | 90 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Analytics | site_stats, page_timing | Aggregated usage measurement | 30 to 365 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | ad_id, retarget_pixel | Retargeting and ad frequency control | 90 to 365 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
Third Party Cookies We Allow
Some cookies on our pages belong to other companies, not to us. We permit exactly three groups of them, each tied to a job we cannot do ourselves.
Analytics providers measure traffic volume and page performance on our behalf and report the numbers back to us in aggregate. Payment providers set cookies during deposits and withdrawals so your Visa, Skrill, MiFinity, Jeton or crypto transaction can be verified and completed securely; these activate only on the payment pages themselves. Ad networks place the retargeting cookies described above so our promotions reach people who have shown interest rather than strangers.
Every third party we allow operates under a written contract that limits them to the purpose we engaged them for. We do not grant third parties access to your gaming history, your balance or your identity documents, and KYC verification files sit outside the cookie system entirely. If a partner changes what a cookie does, the contract requires them to tell us before it goes live.
Manage Your Cookie Choices
Using our banner
The first time you open sportuna-aud.com, our consent banner offers you three buttons: accept all, reject all non-essential, or open the detailed menu. The detailed menu lists every category from the table above with its own switch, so you can keep analytics and block marketing or any combination you prefer. Whatever you choose, we store your decision and honour it from that moment on. You can reopen the banner any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the site footer and change your answer.
Using your browser
Browsers put a second control in your hands that works regardless of our banner.
In Chrome, open Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, and block or delete from there. In Safari, go to Settings, then Privacy, and manage both block cookies and website data. In Firefox, choose Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data. In Edge, open Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, and manage cookies and site data per site. Every browser also clears all existing cookies in one action from the same screens.
What blocking costs you
Reject the non-essential categories and nothing on our site stops working. Your account, your 6,000+ games, the live dealer tables, the sportsbook, deposits and withdrawals all run exactly as before. You lose the personal touches: your remembered language, your preferred layout, statistics that help us improve the pages you use most, and relevant ads instead of generic ones.
Block strictly necessary cookies as well and things break fast. You will be logged out every time you change page, every deposit will fail security verification and you may not reach the site at all. We flag these as essential precisely because the site cannot function without them, and your consent banner never includes them in the reject-all option.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Nothing stays forever, and each category carries its own clock.
Session cookies live the shortest because they exist only while your browser stays open; close the tab and they delete themselves. The "remember me" login token lasts 30 days so you do not sign in daily. Functional preferences hold for 90 days, long enough to cover a holiday without becoming stale. Analytics cookies run between 30 and 365 days depending on whether they measure a single visit or long-term trends, and marketing cookies cap out at 365 days before they expire on their own.
Clearing your browser cookies removes every category immediately, regardless of the scheduled expiry. Logging out also ends your session cookies on the spot, which is why we suggest it on shared devices.
Changes to This Policy
Whenever we add a cookie, remove one or change a retention period, we update this page and push the revision date to the top. Changes that expand what we collect trigger the consent banner again, so nothing new lands on your device without a fresh yes from you. Shrinking changes, such as shorter retention or a category we drop, take effect immediately and we note them here.
Questions about anything on this page go to [email protected] or to our live chat, staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We answer cookie queries the same way we answer everything else: with specifics, not boilerplate.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Sportuna Casino?
No. Only strictly necessary cookies are mandatory, and they cover login, session and payment security. You can reject functional, analytics and marketing cookies through our banner and still play all 6,000+ games, use the sportsbook and make deposits and withdrawals as normal.
Can I change my cookie settings later?
Yes. The "Cookie settings" link in our footer reopens the consent banner at any time, and each category has its own switch. Your browser settings offer a second layer of control and also clear existing cookies instantly.
Do you use cookies to see my game results or balance?
No. Cookies carry identifiers and preferences, not your gaming history, balance or KYC documents. Analytics cookies record aggregated behaviour only and cannot identify you personally.
What happens if I block strictly necessary cookies?
The site stops working properly. You get logged out on every page change, deposits fail security verification and parts of the site may not load at all. Our reject-all button never blocks this category for exactly that reason.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
Session cookies delete themselves when you close your browser, login tokens last 30 days, functional preferences 90 days, and analytics and marketing cookies expire after 30 to 365 days. Clearing your browser cookies removes all of them immediately.
