Pelican Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Pelican Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. It describes the purposes these technologies serve, the types of information they may help us collect, and the choices available to you.
Pelican Casino is intended for people aged 18 and over in Australia. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, which provide further information about how we operate our website and services.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or another internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser or device and remember certain information between visits.
Cookies can support basic website functions, improve performance, remember selected preferences, and help website operators understand how visitors use their services. Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. These are known as session cookies. Others remain for a defined period or until you delete them, and are known as persistent cookies.
Pelican Casino may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits, and local storage. In this policy, references to cookies generally include these comparable technologies where relevant.
Cookie Categories
The cookies used on the Pelican Casino website may be grouped according to their purpose. A single cookie may support more than one function, although the main categories are as follows:
- Essential cookies, which help the website operate and support security, account access, and core functions.
- Performance cookies, which provide information about website use and technical performance.
- Functional cookies, which remember choices and help personalise the browsing experience.
- Marketing cookies, which may assist with advertising, campaign measurement, and the delivery of more relevant promotional content.
The specific cookies placed on your device can vary depending on the pages you visit, the features you use, your device, and your browser settings. Some cookies may be set by Pelican Casino, while others may be placed by service providers acting on our behalf or by independent third parties.
Cookies We Need
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, certain services or features may not work as intended. These cookies do not usually identify you by name, but they may be associated with information needed to maintain a secure and reliable session.
Pelican Casino may use essential cookies to support activities such as:
- Keeping you signed in during an active session.
- Maintaining account and session security.
- Applying security controls and helping detect suspicious activity.
- Remembering information needed to process navigation or account requests.
- Balancing website traffic and maintaining service stability.
- Recording your cookie preferences where a preference tool is available.
Because these cookies support core website operations, disabling them may prevent access to some parts of the website or affect the way key functions operate.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies help Pelican Casino understand how visitors interact with the website. They may collect information such as the pages visited, the time spent on a page, the links selected, the source from which a visitor arrived, and whether an error occurred.
This information is generally used in an aggregated or pseudonymous form to help us identify technical problems, assess website speed, improve navigation, and make informed decisions about the design and operation of our services. Performance information may also help us determine whether changes to the website are useful to visitors.
These cookies are not intended to record the content of your gameplay or determine the outcome of any game. Their purpose is to support website analysis and service improvement. Where a consent choice is required, performance cookies may only be used in accordance with the choices available through the website or your browser.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide a more convenient experience. They may be used to retain settings that would otherwise need to be entered again each time you return.
Depending on the features available, functional cookies may remember information such as:
- Your preferred language or display settings.
- Selections made during a website visit.
- Previously viewed preferences or user interface options.
- Information that helps a feature operate consistently across pages.
Functional cookies are designed to improve usability rather than provide essential security or account functions. If you disable them, the website may continue to operate, but some preferences may not be saved and certain features may be less convenient to use.
Promotional Technologies
Marketing cookies may be used to support promotional activities and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They can assist Pelican Casino and relevant service providers in understanding which advertisements or campaigns brought visitors to the website and whether promotional content was viewed or selected.
These cookies may also help limit how often a particular advertisement is shown or support the delivery of content that is more relevant to your apparent interests. They may recognise a browser or device across different websites or services, subject to the practices and settings of the relevant provider.
Pelican Casino does not use marketing cookies to change the fundamental rules of any game or to guarantee a particular result. Promotional communications remain subject to applicable account settings, marketing preferences, and the terms that apply to the relevant offer.
Where required, marketing cookies will be controlled through the consent options presented on the website. Choosing not to allow them should not prevent you from using core account or gaming functions, although you may see less personalised advertising.
Controlling Your Choices
You can manage cookies in several ways. If a cookie preference tool is displayed on the Pelican Casino website, you can use it to accept or reject available categories according to your preferences. You can also adjust your browser settings to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored.
Browser controls differ between providers and devices. Information about cookie management is normally available in your browser's privacy, security, or help settings. You may need to repeat your choices if you use a different browser, clear stored data, change devices, or access the website without being signed in.
Please consider the following before disabling cookies:
- Blocking all cookies may affect website availability, account access, or security features.
- Deleting cookies does not necessarily remove information already held by Pelican Casino or a service provider.
- Your preferences may not be retained after cookies are removed.
- Opting out of marketing cookies may reduce personalised advertising but will not always remove every advertisement.
- Device-level privacy controls may affect the operation of other websites and applications.
If you have questions about this policy or wish to raise a privacy-related concern, please use the contact page on the Pelican Casino website. We may need to verify certain details before acting on a request connected with your account or personal information.
Services Provided by Others
Some cookies may be placed by third-party providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, payment-related functions, advertising, or other services. These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices and cookie policies.
Third-party cookies may enable a provider to recognise your browser, measure activity, prevent fraud, deliver technical services, or evaluate the performance of a campaign. Pelican Casino does not control every technology used by independent providers, and the availability or operation of those technologies may change over time.
We take reasonable steps to work with service providers that are appropriate for the functions they perform. Nevertheless, you should review the relevant third party's information when a service directs you to its own website or provides a separate explanation of its data practices. Your browser and device settings may also provide controls for limiting third-party tracking.
Links to external websites or services may be provided for convenience. Visiting an external service is governed by that provider's terms and privacy information, not solely by this Cookies Policy.
Changes to This Policy
Pelican Casino may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers, business practices, or applicable requirements change. An updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate.
We encourage you to review this policy from time to time so that you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies are used. If an update materially changes the way non-essential cookies are used, we may provide additional notice or request a new preference where appropriate.
Your continued use of the website after an updated policy is published does not replace any consent choice that may be required for non-essential cookies. The choices available to you will depend on the cookie controls presented on the website and the settings offered by your browser or device.
