Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies may help a website operate correctly, improve performance, remember preferences and provide information about how visitors use its pages.

Golden Empire Casino may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and device or browser identifiers. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a different distinction is necessary.

Some cookies are set by Golden Empire Casino, while others may be set by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other digital services. The exact cookies used can change as the website, its features and its service providers change.

How long cookies remain on your device

A session cookie normally operates only while your browser is open and is removed when the session ends. A persistent cookie remains on your device for a longer period or until it expires or is deleted. The period for which a cookie remains may vary according to its purpose, your browser settings and the settings applied by the relevant service provider.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information associated with your account, device or use of the website. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable requirements.

2. Why we use cookies

Cookies may be used for several purposes. Some are necessary for the website to function, while others help us understand usage or remember choices. Where the law requires consent for a particular type of cookie, we will seek consent through the available cookie controls or other appropriate methods.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support core website functions and may be needed for you to move between pages, access secure areas, maintain a session or use essential account features. They may also help protect the website, detect unusual activity and support the security of transactions or login processes. Because these cookies are important to the operation or security of the website, they may not be available for disabling through every cookie preference tool.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies help remember choices and preferences, such as language, region, display settings or other selections made during a visit. They can make the website easier to use by reducing the need to repeat the same choices. If you decline these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and certain features may be less convenient.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information such as the pages viewed, links selected, time spent on a page, the way a visitor arrived at the website and whether an error occurred. The information can be used in an aggregated or otherwise appropriate form to measure performance, identify technical issues and improve the layout, content and user experience.

Security and fraud prevention technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to help maintain website security, identify automated or suspicious activity and protect accounts and services from misuse. These technologies may assess information about a device, browser, network connection or activity on the website. They are intended to support the safety and integrity of the platform and do not guarantee that every security threat will be prevented.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, understand interactions with promotional content or show content that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be placed by Golden Empire Casino or by selected third parties acting on behalf of a website operator. They may use information about browsing activity across websites or services, subject to applicable consent requirements and privacy settings.

Responsible gambling and age-related functions

The website may use cookies or related technologies to support account controls, session management, age-related processes, responsible gambling tools or other regulatory and operational functions. These technologies may help the website remember settings or apply controls selected by a player. They do not replace the need for players to use available responsible gambling tools carefully or to comply with the applicable terms.

3. 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 them or choose particular categories. Your choices may be remembered through a cookie or similar technology. If you use a different browser, device or browser profile, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also control cookies through the settings in your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. You may be able to configure your browser to warn you before cookies are placed or to remove cookies when the browser is closed. Instructions are generally available through the browser's help or settings menus.

• Accept or reject optional cookies using the website's available cookie preference controls.
• Delete existing cookies through your browser or device settings.
• Block cookies from particular websites or from selected categories.
• Allow cookies only from websites that you trust.
• Use private browsing or similar browser features where appropriate.

If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the website may not work as intended. You may be logged out, lose saved preferences or need to repeat certain steps. Essential security, account and session functions may also be affected. Disabling a cookie does not always delete information that was collected before the cookie was disabled.

Cookie preferences are separate from other choices you may make about electronic communications, account information or personalised services. Changing browser settings may not withdraw consent that was provided directly to a third-party service. Where relevant, you should use the controls offered by that service as well.

Mobile devices

Mobile operating systems may provide advertising, tracking or privacy controls that affect how cookies and similar technologies work. You can review the privacy and security settings on your device and in your mobile browser. The available controls depend on the device, operating system, browser and applications you use.

4. Third-party services, privacy and updates

Some website functions may be supported by third-party providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver services such as hosting, security, analytics, customer support, payment processing, communications or campaign measurement. A third party may process information under its own privacy policy and may provide its own cookie controls. Golden Empire Casino does not control every setting or practice of an independent third party.

Third-party cookies may allow a provider to recognise a browser or device when it visits different websites or services. The use of these technologies can depend on the provider's configuration, the services integrated into the website and your choices. We seek to use services in a manner that is appropriate for the website and applicable requirements, but the presence of a third-party feature does not mean that every optional cookie is automatically active.

Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, browser type, operating system, device details, approximate location, pages visited, time and date of access, referral information and interactions with the website. Depending on the technology and settings, it may also include identifiers associated with a browser or device. We use and handle this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, applicable privacy obligations and the choices available to you.

Cookies are not intended to encourage unsafe gambling or to bypass responsible gambling controls. Players should use the available account, deposit, time and self-exclusion tools responsibly and should not attempt to avoid a restriction by changing devices, browsers or cookie settings. If a cookie or device control is connected with a safety, security or compliance function, disabling it may affect access to part of the website.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when the website changes, new technologies are introduced, service providers change or legal and operational requirements are updated. The revised version will be made available on this page, together with an updated effective date where appropriate. You should review this policy periodically so that you understand how cookies may be used.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or wish to ask how your information is handled, please use the contact or support options made available through the Golden Empire Casino website. Do not send sensitive account, payment or identity information through an unverified channel. For more information about the collection, use, disclosure and protection of personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
