Richard Casino Cookies Policy

This policy is the plain-English companion to our Privacy Policy and applies to every visitor and account holder reaching Richard Casino from an Australian connection. It explains what a cookie is in our context, which categories we set, which third parties we hand the page over to, how long each one lives, and how you can switch any of them off without breaking the cashier.

What Cookies Are, Briefly

A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when a site asks it to. It can carry a session ID, a preference, or a tracker. Cookies cannot read other files on your device, run programs, or access your camera. Modern browsers also support similar storage mechanisms — local storage, session storage, and IndexedDB — and where this policy says "cookie" we mean any of those when they're used for the same purpose.

Categories We Use

  • Strictly necessary. Session ID, login state, cashier basket, fraud signals. Without these the site doesn't function. Lifetime: session only, cleared on logout.
  • Functional. Language (en-AU), preferred odds format, theme, accepted-cookies state. Lifetime: 365 days.
  • Analytics. Page-view and timing data via Google Analytics 4. IP truncation enabled. Lifetime: 730 days.
  • Marketing. Conversion tags from Meta and TikTok where you have opted in. Lifetime: 90 days.
  • Affiliate attribution. A first-party referral cookie that records which partner introduced you, used to pay them out. Lifetime: 30 days.

Third Parties We Hand the Page To

The named third parties below set cookies under our consent flow. Each runs under its own privacy policy and we don't pass them more than the minimum needed to do the job.

  • Google Analytics 4 — analytics aggregation, IP truncation enforced.
  • Cloudflare — DDoS mitigation, bot screening.
  • Live chat provider — chat session continuity.
  • Meta and TikTok pixels — only when marketing consent is granted.
  • Payments providers — set strictly necessary cookies inside their iframe during deposit/withdrawal flows.

Your Choices Under Australian Law

The Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles govern how we handle the personal information cookies might link to. You have a right to refuse non-essential cookies, withdraw consent at any time, and ask for the categories that contain personal information to be deleted. The cookie banner that appears on your first visit lets you accept all, reject all, or pick categories. The same panel re-opens any time from the footer link Cookie settings.

Switching Cookies Off in Your Browser

If you'd rather control cookies at the browser level, the four major browsers Australian punters use offer granular controls in the same place — Settings → Privacy and security.

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → block third-party.
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Strict.
  • Safari (iOS / macOS): Settings → Safari → Block all cookies.

One honest caveat — if you block strictly necessary cookies the cashier won't load and your session will drop on each page. Functional and analytics cookies can be blocked without breaking gameplay.

Mobile App and PWA Storage

The Android APK and the iOS web app use the same storage mechanisms as the website. To clear them, open the device settings, find Richard Casino in the app list, and choose Clear storage. On iOS, the Safari history clear also wipes web-app storage.

Updates and Contact

We update this policy when categories or third parties change — material changes are flagged at the top of the page for thirty days. To raise a concern, contact us at [email protected]; if you remain unsatisfied, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner accepts complaints at oaic.gov.au.
