Shazam Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Shazam Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and other applicable website terms. Our aim is to provide clear information about the technologies used to operate the site, improve your experience and understand how our services are used.
Shazam Casino is intended for people aged 18 and over in Australia. By continuing to browse the website, you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device as described below. Where consent is required, we will provide appropriate controls so that you can manage optional cookie categories.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone, tablet or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser or device and remember certain information. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits, may perform comparable functions and are covered by this policy where relevant.
A cookie may be used for a single visit or remain on your device for a longer period. Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted. A cookie does not normally identify you by name on its own, although information collected through cookies may be combined with account, device or usage information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies can help Shazam Casino maintain secure sessions, remember selected preferences, identify technical problems and understand how visitors interact with the website. Some cookies are placed directly by Shazam Casino, while others may be placed by carefully selected service providers acting on our behalf or operating their own services.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used on the Shazam Casino website can be grouped according to their purpose. The same cookie may support more than one technical function, but our classification is intended to make the choices available to you easier to understand.
- Essential cookies support core website operations, security and account-related features.
- Performance cookies provide information about website use and technical performance.
- Functional cookies remember choices and help provide a more personalised experience.
- Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns or deliver advertising that is more relevant to your interests.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to work correctly and cannot be switched off through our cookie preference tool. Optional cookies can usually be accepted, rejected or adjusted through the controls displayed on the website, subject to the capabilities of those controls and your browser.
Cookies Needed for Operation
Essential cookies enable the basic functions of Shazam Casino. Without them, important parts of the website may not operate reliably or securely. These cookies are generally used only for necessary purposes rather than for behavioural advertising.
Examples of essential functions may include:
- Keeping you signed in during an active session.
- Maintaining the correct operation of registration, login and account pages.
- Supporting responsible access controls, age-related safeguards and account security measures.
- Protecting forms and transactions against unauthorised or fraudulent activity.
- Balancing website traffic and directing requests to suitable technical systems.
- Remembering your cookie preference and other basic security settings.
These cookies may help detect unusual activity, prevent misuse of the website and preserve the integrity of account functions. Disabling them through your browser may cause pages, navigation or account services to become unavailable or function incorrectly.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies help Shazam Casino understand how the website works in practice. They may collect information such as the pages visited, the time spent on a page, the way visitors move through the site and whether an error has occurred. This information is generally analysed in aggregated or pseudonymous form where practical.
Using performance information allows us to identify slow pages, broken links, loading problems and other technical issues. It may also help us assess changes to the website and improve its stability, usability and accessibility. These cookies are not intended to provide the core features needed to create or use an account.
Where performance cookies are optional, you can manage them through the cookie settings presented on the website. If you decline them, Shazam Casino may have less information about technical performance, but the main website should continue to be available subject to the operation of essential cookies.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies help the website remember choices you make so that you do not need to repeat them during every visit. They may support language or display preferences, selected website settings, and other features designed to make the browsing experience more convenient.
Functional cookies may also help us provide content or interface features based on the settings you have selected. They do not necessarily provide every account or gaming function, and their availability may depend on your browser, device and the way the relevant service has been configured.
If you reject these cookies, some preferences may not be retained and you may need to enter them again. The website can still use essential cookies for core operation, but certain convenience features may be limited or unavailable.
Advertising and Campaign Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, limit the number of times an advertisement is shown, or help present advertising that is more relevant to a visitor's browsing activity. They may also support measurement across websites or platforms operated by third-party advertising and analytics providers.
Shazam Casino does not use marketing cookies to remove the importance of responsible gambling or to bypass age and access controls. Marketing activity must remain subject to applicable restrictions, our internal standards and the settings available through the website. We do not regard acceptance of marketing cookies as a requirement for using essential account services.
You may be able to refuse marketing cookies through our cookie preference tool, your browser settings or controls provided by the relevant third party. Refusing these cookies may not eliminate all advertising, but it can reduce the use of information for personalised advertising and campaign measurement.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
When available, the Shazam Casino cookie banner or preference centre allows you to review optional categories and change your selections. Your choices may be stored in an essential preference cookie so that the website can remember them. If you clear your browser data, use another browser or switch devices, you may be asked to make your choices again.
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block all cookies or selected categories.
- Receive a notification before a cookie is stored.
- Allow cookies only for particular websites.
Browser controls differ between products and devices. Blocking all cookies may affect login sessions, security features, preferences and other website functions. For that reason, disabling essential cookies may make Shazam Casino difficult or impossible to use. Your browser settings do not necessarily control all similar technologies, and certain preference tools may need to be adjusted separately.
Cookies Set by Other Services
Some pages or features may involve third-party services. These providers may place cookies or use similar technologies to deliver security, payment-related functionality, analytics, embedded content, advertising measurement or other technical services. The third party may process information under its own privacy notice and terms.
Shazam Casino seeks to use third-party services for legitimate and defined purposes, but we do not control every aspect of a third party's technology or privacy practices. A provider may update its cookies, retention periods or processing methods independently. You should review the relevant provider's information where you want to understand its practices in more detail.
Third-party cookies may remain subject to your choices in the Shazam Casino cookie preference centre, depending on how the relevant technology is integrated. You may also have separate controls through your browser or the provider's own opt-out tools. Refusing third-party cookies may affect certain optional features without necessarily affecting essential website functions.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers or operational practices change. We may also revise it to improve clarity or reflect changes in applicable expectations. The latest version will be made available on the Shazam Casino website and will show the date on which it was last updated where appropriate.
We encourage you to review this page from time to time, particularly if you change your cookie preferences, use a different device or notice a change in the way the website operates. If an update materially affects the way optional cookies are used, we may provide an additional notice or request consent where this is appropriate.
If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or wish to raise a privacy-related concern, please use the Shazam Casino contact page. Any request will be handled in accordance with the information provided in our Privacy Policy and the procedures applicable to the relevant service.
