1. The basics of a cookie
A cookie is nothing more than a small text file that a website writes into your browser. Its job is to carry little pieces of information between page loads or return visits, for instance whether you've already dismissed the cookie banner or which section you were last on. Cookies are plain data rather than executable code and cannot carry viruses. Throughout this page "cookies" serves as shorthand for related technologies such as browser local storage and tracking pixels.
2. Our cookie inventory
Below is every cookie you might pick up while browsing casinau.vip, grouped by purpose. The strictly necessary session cookies are always active, because the site simply wouldn't function without them. The analytics cookies don't load until you've ticked them through on the consent banner.
| Category | Cookie name(s) | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential session | cc_session |
Anonymous session ID that keeps core security and rate-limiting working. | Session only — wiped when the browser closes |
| Essential session | cc_consent |
Stores your consent choice so the banner stays dismissed between pages. | 12 months |
| Analytics | _ga, _ga_* |
Google Analytics — IP-anonymised traffic figures, reported only in aggregate. | 13 months |
| Analytics | _clck, _clsk |
Microsoft Clarity — aggregated heatmap and scroll data, no personal identifiers. | 12 months (_clck) / session (_clsk) |
| Analytics | _pk_id, _pk_ses |
Matomo — visitor and session counts, with IP anonymisation enabled. | 13 months / 30 minutes |
That's the complete list. No advertising cookies are dropped, no remarketing pixels fire, and nothing picked up through cookies is ever sold or shared with a third party for marketing purposes.
3. Blocking cookies in your browser
The fastest way to shut off analytics on casinau.vip is from the consent banner itself — just decline, and none of the analytics cookies ever get set. If you'd rather manage cookies more broadly, across every site you visit, every mainstream browser ships with built-in controls to inspect, block or clear them:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From there you can block third-party cookies, block everything, or wipe existing cookies for individual sites.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Switching the preference to "Strict" blocks cross-site tracking cookies automatically.
- Safari (macOS): Settings → Privacy → block all cookies, or open Manage Website Data to delete specific entries. On iOS: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
- Private or incognito windows: any cookie set inside one is wiped the moment you close the window.
Blocking the strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site — most obviously, the consent banner will no longer remember what you chose last time. Blocking the analytics cookies, by contrast, has no effect on what you can read or review and locks nothing out.
4. Third-party cookies you may meet
A handful of the cookies you might pick up while browsing casinau.vip are placed by other companies rather than by us. The most common case is affiliate tracking: when you follow an outbound link to an Australian casino, the operator or its affiliate network may drop a cookie so that any account you later open is credited back to casinau.vip. That's how referral commissions get calculated. It costs you nothing extra and never influences our reviews. The moment you land on the operator's site, their own cookie policy takes over from ours. These affiliate cookies typically stay active for somewhere between 30 and 90 days.
5. Reaching us, plus policy changes
Any question about the cookies in use, or the information we hold about you, goes to [email protected], and senior editor Matilda Spencer will reply directly. Wider personal-data questions are covered by the Privacy Policy. Whenever our tooling shifts or the underlying Australian regulations change, this page and the last-updated date up top are revised to match. The current revision carries the date 1 October 2026.
