Harbour 33 Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Harbour 33 Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. It is intended to help you understand what these technologies do, why they may be used, and the choices available to you.
Harbour 33 Casino is an online casino for adults aged 18 and over in Australia. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and any other website terms that apply to your use of our services.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Some cookies remain only while your browser is open, while others stay on your device for a set period or until you remove them.
Cookies can support the operation, security, and usability of Harbour 33 Casino. They may remember settings, help pages load correctly, measure website performance, or provide information about how visitors interact with our services. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits, and local storage, may work in comparable ways.
Cookies do not normally identify you by name on their own. Depending on how they are used and the information associated with them, data collected through cookies may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy rules.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used on the Harbour 33 Casino website may be grouped into the following categories:
- Essential cookies, which support core website functions, security, account access, and transaction processes.
- Performance cookies, which help us understand website use and identify technical or usability issues.
- Functional cookies, which remember choices and provide a more personalised experience.
- Marketing cookies, which may help measure advertising activity or deliver content that is more relevant to visitors.
A cookie may belong to more than one practical function depending on how it is configured. The availability and use of particular cookies can change as our website, technology providers, or services develop.
Cookies Needed for Core Services
Essential cookies are required for important features of the Harbour 33 Casino website. Without them, certain services may not work properly, and some areas may be unavailable. These cookies may help with secure sign-in, session management, fraud prevention, responsible account controls, navigation, and the processing of requests made through the website.
Examples of essential functions may include:
- Keeping you signed in while you move between secure pages.
- Maintaining the contents of a form or session during a transaction.
- Supporting security checks and detecting unusual activity.
- Applying technical settings needed for the website to operate.
- Remembering choices that are necessary to provide a service you have requested.
Because these cookies are important to the operation and security of the website, they may not be disabled through ordinary cookie preference tools. You can usually block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent Harbour 33 Casino from providing some features or may affect the availability of your account and other services.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. They can show which pages are visited, how users move through the site, whether pages load successfully, and where technical problems may occur. The information is generally used in an aggregated or statistical form to help improve reliability and usability.
These cookies may assist Harbour 33 Casino with:
- Monitoring page loading times and website responsiveness.
- Identifying broken links, errors, and other technical difficulties.
- Understanding which features are useful to visitors.
- Testing changes to page design, navigation, or content.
- Planning improvements to website capacity and performance.
Performance information may be collected using identifiers associated with a browser or device. It is not intended to be used to determine your identity for its own sake. Where these cookies are optional, you may be able to reject them through the cookie settings displayed on the website or through your browser controls.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies help the website remember choices you make. They can make future visits more convenient by preserving settings and supporting features that respond to your preferences. For example, they may remember language or display selections, consent choices, and other options used to personalise the website experience.
Functional cookies may also support features that you have specifically requested. If you refuse or delete them, the website may still be available, but some settings may need to be selected again and certain convenience features may not operate as expected.
Functional cookies do not give Harbour 33 Casino permission to bypass your account security or responsible gambling choices. Controls relating to account access, age restrictions, safer gambling tools, and other compliance measures continue to apply regardless of your cookie preferences.
Advertising and Marketing Technologies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising, limit repeated advertisements, measure visits from promotional campaigns, or provide content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be placed by Harbour 33 Casino or by selected third-party providers acting on our behalf or providing services connected with the website.
Depending on the technology involved, marketing information may include details such as the page visited, the campaign that directed you to the website, the type of device used, or interactions with promotional content. This information may be combined with other data held by a provider in accordance with that provider's own privacy notice.
Harbour 33 Casino does not intend marketing cookies to override age, identity, location, account, or responsible gambling controls. Marketing activity is not a substitute for the checks and restrictions that may apply to access or use of an online casino.
Where required or appropriate, marketing cookies will be subject to your consent. You can refuse optional marketing cookies without affecting essential website functions, although you may see less personalised content or less relevant advertising.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
When available, the website cookie banner or preference centre allows you to accept, reject, or customise optional cookie categories. Your selections may be stored in a cookie so that the website can remember them. If you clear your browser data, use another browser, or change devices, you may be asked to make your choices again.
You can also manage cookies through the settings of your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block cookies from specific websites or all websites.
- Receive a notification before cookies are stored.
- Remove cookies automatically when the browser is closed.
The steps vary between browsers and devices, so consult the relevant browser help facility for instructions. Blocking all cookies may affect sign-in, account functions, security measures, and other parts of the Harbour 33 Casino website. Deleting a cookie does not necessarily withdraw consent permanently; a new preference may be requested when you visit again.
Your choices may also be available through tools provided by third-party advertising or analytics services. Those tools are controlled by the relevant provider and may have their own conditions and privacy information.
Services Provided by Other Companies
Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third parties that support website hosting, security, analytics, payment functionality, advertising, fraud monitoring, or other technical services. These providers may collect information about your browser, device, or interaction with the website in accordance with their contractual arrangements and privacy practices.
Third-party cookies are not controlled in exactly the same way as cookies placed directly by Harbour 33 Casino. A provider may change the name, purpose, duration, or operation of its cookies. Where relevant, you should review the provider's privacy and cookie information to understand how it handles data.
Third parties may process information in countries other than Australia, subject to the arrangements and safeguards that apply to the service. Harbour 33 Casino takes reasonable steps to select and manage service providers appropriately, but technical services may change over time as operational requirements develop.
Third-party content, links, applications, or advertising displayed on or accessed through the website may also have separate cookie practices. Harbour 33 Casino is not responsible for the policies of websites that it does not operate. Before providing information to an external website, check its privacy and cookie notices.
Changes to This Policy
Harbour 33 Casino may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers, or legal and compliance obligations change. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate.
If a change materially affects how optional cookies are used, we may present an updated notice or request your preferences again. Your continued use of the website after an update does not remove any choice available to you under the cookie controls.
We recommend reviewing this page periodically so that you remain informed about our use of cookies. If you have a question about this policy or wish to raise a privacy concern, please use the Harbour 33 Casino contact page.
