Cookies Policy

About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device. They allow a website to remember information about your visit, recognise a returning browser and provide features that may not work correctly without them. Similar technologies can include pixels, tags, software development kits, browser storage and other tools that collect or store information about how a website is used.

Highway Casino may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function, remember selected preferences, understand general website activity and improve online services. Some cookies may be placed by us, while others may be placed by service providers who perform functions on our behalf. Third-party cookies may also be used where external content, tools or services are displayed on the website.

Cookies can be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device may vary according to its purpose, the settings of your browser and the provider that places it.

The information collected through cookies may include details such as your device type, browser type, operating system, approximate location, pages visited, links selected, time spent on pages and general interaction with the website. In some circumstances, cookie information may be combined with other information that relates to your account or website activity. We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable requirements.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support the basic operation, security and accessibility of the website. They may be used to help maintain a secure session, remember information needed for navigation, protect forms, identify unusual activity and support account or sign-in functions. Because these cookies are important to the operation of the website, they may not be available for opt-out through a cookie banner or preference tool. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent some website features from working.

Functional and preference cookies

Functional cookies help remember choices you make while using the website. For example, they may remember language, display, region, notification or other preferences. These cookies can make the website more convenient by reducing the need to repeat the same selections. If you disable them, you may need to enter preferences again during future visits.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about the pages visited, the way visitors move through the site, whether pages load correctly and where improvements may be useful. The information is generally used in an aggregated or combined form to assess performance, identify technical issues and improve content, navigation and functionality. Analytics information may be processed using services provided by third parties.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing technologies may help measure campaigns, understand interactions with promotional content and present information that is more relevant to your interests. These technologies may recognise a browser or device across different visits and may be operated by external advertising, measurement or media partners. You can usually manage these technologies through the cookie preference tool, your browser settings or options made available by the relevant third party.

Security, compliance and responsible use

Some cookies or similar technologies may be used to support fraud prevention, security monitoring, account protection, age or identity checks where applicable, and the operation of responsible gambling controls. These tools may help identify suspicious activity, prevent misuse and protect the website and its users. Blocking certain technologies may affect the availability of account, security or compliance-related features.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select particular categories. Your choices may be saved in a cookie or similar storage item so that the notice does not appear every time you visit. If you delete that item, change browser settings or use another device or browser, you may be asked to make your choices again.

You can also control cookies through the settings in your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block some or all cookies and receive a warning before a cookie is saved. The steps differ between browsers and devices, so you should check the help or support information provided with your browser. Browser controls may apply to all websites you visit, rather than only to Highway Casino.

• Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to sign in or make selections again.
• Blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from operating properly.
• Disabling analytics cookies may not stop all website activity from being recorded for operational, security or legal purposes.
• Opting out of advertising cookies may not remove advertising; it may instead result in less personalised advertising.
• Cookie preferences may need to be updated separately on different browsers, devices or websites.
• Some third-party services provide their own controls for managing their cookies and similar technologies.

If you use a mobile device, your operating system or browser may provide additional privacy and advertising controls. These settings can affect identifiers, permissions and the way applications or websites use information. We cannot guarantee that every third-party setting will operate in the same way, so you should review the information supplied by the relevant provider.

Some website features may require cookies or similar technologies. If you choose not to allow optional cookies, the main website may remain available, but certain preferences, content or functions may be limited. Your choice about optional cookies will not normally prevent you from viewing general website information, although technical or security requirements may still apply.

Third parties, privacy and policy changes

Third-party providers may use cookies or similar technologies when they supply services connected with the website. These services may include website hosting, security, analytics, content delivery, payment support, customer assistance, advertising measurement or other technical functions. A third party may collect information in accordance with its own privacy notice and may process information in countries outside Australia, subject to the arrangements and requirements that apply to that service.

We do not use cookies to remove your legal rights or to change the terms that apply to your account. Cookie information may be used to help operate the website, maintain security, analyse service performance, meet legal or compliance obligations and support communications where permitted. We take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances to protect information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure.

Our Privacy Policy provides further information about how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored and managed. It also explains how you may make a privacy enquiry or request where applicable. If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or your cookie preferences, please use the contact or support channels made available on the website. Do not include sensitive account or payment information in a general enquiry unless it is requested through a secure process.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the cookies and technologies we use, the services provided by third parties or applicable legal and regulatory requirements. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page and the effective date may be revised where appropriate. You should review this page periodically so that you remain informed about our use of cookies.

By continuing to use the website after an updated Cookies Policy has been published, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review the changes. Where consent is required for optional cookies, we will provide an appropriate choice or preference mechanism. You can change your optional cookie preferences at any time using the available controls or your browser settings.
