Golden Star Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Golden Star Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. It describes the purposes these technologies serve, the choices available to you, and how they may affect your browsing experience.
Golden Star Casino is intended for adults aged 18 and over in Australia. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. For questions about this policy or your privacy choices, please visit the contact page.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies do not normally identify you by name on their own, but they may be associated with account or device information depending on how they are used.
Golden Star Casino may also use related technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, and software development kits. These tools can perform functions similar to cookies, including remembering preferences, measuring website activity, protecting accounts, and supporting relevant advertising.
Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Session cookies are removed when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the settings applied by Golden Star Casino or an authorised service provider.
Cookie Categories
The cookies used on the Golden Star Casino website may be grouped into the following categories:
- Essential cookies, which support core website operation, security, account access, and responsible session management.
- Performance cookies, which help us understand how visitors use the website and identify areas for improvement.
- Functional cookies, which remember choices and provide a more convenient, personalised experience.
- Marketing cookies, which may help deliver advertising, measure campaigns, or create a more relevant online experience.
Some cookies may perform more than one function. The availability of a particular category may depend on the page you visit, the services you use, your browser settings, and the consent choices available in your location.
Cookies We Need
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to operate properly. They may enable you to move between pages, sign in securely, maintain a gaming session, access account features, and use important functions. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work as intended.
These cookies can also support security and fraud prevention. For example, they may help Golden Star Casino detect unusual activity, protect login processes, maintain the integrity of account sessions, and apply technical controls designed to prevent misuse of the website.
Because essential cookies support services you request, they may remain active even if you disable optional cookie categories. Disabling them through your browser may prevent access to account areas, interrupt sessions, or affect the availability of essential website functions.
How Performance Cookies Help
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors interact with the website. They can show which pages are viewed, how visitors navigate between sections, whether content loads correctly, and where technical difficulties may occur. This information is generally used in an aggregated or statistical form.
Golden Star Casino may use performance information to monitor stability, improve page speed, understand website demand, test changes, and make the online experience easier to use. These cookies are not intended to provide gaming outcomes or alter the fairness of casino games.
Where performance cookies are optional, you can choose whether to allow them through the cookie settings presented on the website. If you decline them, the website should remain available, although Golden Star Casino may have less information to identify and resolve usability or technical issues.
Functional Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made. Depending on the services available, they may remember language or display preferences, selected settings, notification choices, or information that helps provide a smoother return visit.
These cookies can reduce the need to repeat the same selections during each visit. They may also support features designed to make the website more convenient while keeping the underlying service consistent.
If you do not allow functional cookies, some preferences may not be saved. You may need to make the same selections again, and certain optional features may operate in a more basic way. Essential account and security functions are treated separately from these convenience features.
Advertising and Measurement
Marketing cookies may be used to understand interactions with promotional content, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and help present information that is more relevant to your interests. They may be placed by Golden Star Casino or by selected third-party providers acting on our behalf or providing advertising-related services.
These cookies may record information such as the pages or promotional materials viewed, the source that brought you to the website, or whether an advertisement was opened. They can also help limit repeated advertising and provide aggregated campaign reports.
Marketing cookies do not guarantee that every advertisement will be relevant to you, and they do not change the rules or outcomes of casino games. If you decline this category, you may still see Golden Star Casino advertising, but it may be less tailored and campaign measurement may be more limited.
Golden Star Casino supports responsible use of its services. Marketing technologies are not intended to encourage participation beyond your personal limits. You should always consider your circumstances and use the responsible gambling tools made available through the website.
Controlling Your Choices
When optional cookies are used, the website may provide a consent banner or preference tool that allows you to accept, reject, or adjust selected categories. Your choices may be saved in a preference cookie so that the consent notice does not appear repeatedly on the same device.
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites, or prevent cookies from being placed. Browser instructions vary, so consult the help or settings area of the browser you use.
- Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and sign you out of online accounts.
- Blocking all cookies may affect website navigation, security controls, or account functions.
- Changing devices or browsers may require you to set your preferences again.
- Cookie controls do not necessarily remove information already collected before your settings were changed.
Where available, you can revisit the cookie preference tool to change your selection. Your choices may apply only to the browser or device used to make them. You may also need to manage certain advertising preferences directly through the relevant third-party platform.
Services From Other Providers
Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed by third parties that support website operation, analytics, security, performance monitoring, advertising, or other approved services. These providers may process information according to their own privacy notices and terms.
Golden Star Casino takes reasonable steps to work with service providers for defined business purposes. Third-party cookies may nevertheless be subject to the provider's systems and controls, and their duration, access methods, and settings may change over time.
Third-party services may combine information collected through our website with information obtained from other websites or services, subject to their own practices and any choices they offer. We recommend reviewing the relevant third-party privacy information where you want to understand how those providers use cookies or similar technologies.
Our website may also contain links to external websites. Once you leave Golden Star Casino, the external website's privacy and cookie practices apply. Golden Star Casino is not responsible for the content, security, or cookie settings of websites that it does not operate.
Changes to This Policy
Golden Star Casino may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, service providers, business practices, or applicable requirements change. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate.
We encourage you to review this policy from time to time so that you remain aware of how cookies and similar technologies are used. If a change requires renewed consent or presents a materially different choice, we may display an updated notice or preference prompt.
Continuing to use the website after an updated policy is made available may indicate that you have reviewed the revised information, subject to any consent requirements that apply. Your browser and cookie settings remain available to help you manage optional technologies.
