Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are and how they work

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another internet-connected device. When you return to the website, your browser can send the cookie back to the website. This allows the website to recognise your browser or device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies may help a website work correctly, understand how it is used and provide a more consistent experience.

Horus Casino may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other tools that can store or access information on your device. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless we state otherwise.

Some cookies are session cookies. These normally operate while your browser is open and are removed when the session ends or the browser is closed. Other cookies are persistent cookies. These may remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The period for which a cookie remains active can vary according to its purpose, your browser settings and the provider that places it.

A cookie may be set directly by Horus Casino, which is commonly called a first-party cookie. A third-party cookie may be set by another service that supports features on the website, such as security, analytics, content delivery or other technical functions. Third parties may process information collected through their technologies according to their own privacy policies.

Cookies do not usually contain information such as your full name. However, information collected through cookies may be combined with other information that relates to your browser, device, account or website activity. This can include an IP address, device type, browser type, language preference, approximate location, pages visited, links selected, session information and other technical or usage data.

Your agreement to cookie use

Where required, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can make choices through the cookie notice or settings tool made available on the website. Essential cookies may continue to operate because they are needed to provide a service you have requested, maintain security or enable core website functions. If you do not provide consent for optional cookies, you can still use essential parts of the website, although some features or preferences may not work as intended.

2. Why we may use cookies

The cookies used on the Horus Casino website may vary over time as the website, its features and supporting services change. Cookies may be used for the following general purposes. Not every type of cookie will be used on every page or during every visit.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies may be required for the website to operate and for you to access basic functions. They can help with page navigation, maintaining a secure connection, supporting account or session functions, remembering security choices and directing traffic between technical systems. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not be available or may not operate reliably.

Security and fraud prevention

Cookies and similar technologies may help us protect the website, accounts and transactions from unauthorised activity. They may assist with identifying unusual activity, detecting automated misuse, limiting attacks, verifying a session and supporting responsible access to online gambling services. Security-related information may be reviewed alongside other technical information for the purpose of protecting users and the website.

Functionality and preferences

These cookies may remember choices you make, such as language, region, display settings or other preferences. They can help us provide features that are more relevant to your device and reduce the need for you to repeat the same selections during a visit. If you remove these cookies, you may need to set your preferences again.

Performance and analytics

Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website. This may include information about pages viewed, time spent on pages, navigation paths, loading performance, error messages and the devices or browsers used to access the site. We may use this information in an aggregated or otherwise controlled form to identify technical issues, measure performance and improve the design, content and usability of the website.

Personalisation and marketing

Where permitted and where you have given the required consent, cookies may be used to remember your interactions with the website, measure the effectiveness of communications or help present content that is more relevant to your interests. We may also use similar technologies to understand whether a communication has been viewed or whether a link has been selected. You can withdraw or change your choices for optional cookies using the available settings or your browser controls.

• Operate essential website functions and maintain a secure session.
• Support account, authentication and fraud-prevention processes.
• Remember selected settings and improve ease of use.
• Measure website performance and identify errors.
• Understand general visitor behaviour and improve website content.
• Measure communications or display more relevant information where permitted.

3. Managing cookies and similar technologies

You can manage optional cookies through the cookie settings tool or notice provided on the website, where available. Your choices may apply only to the browser or device used to make those choices. If you use another browser, clear your cookies or access the website from another device, you may be asked to make your choices again.

Most browsers also allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies through their privacy and security settings. The exact steps depend on the browser and device. You may be able to set your browser to reject all cookies, accept cookies only from trusted websites, notify you before a cookie is stored or delete cookies when you close the browser.

Changing browser settings can affect more than the Horus Casino website. Blocking all cookies may prevent some websites from operating correctly, and it may limit access to account, security, navigation or other features. Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences and sign you out of websites where you have an account.

Some devices provide separate controls for advertising identifiers, app permissions and local storage. These controls may affect how information is collected or used by websites and applications. You should review the privacy settings available on your device and in the relevant application if you want to manage these technologies more broadly.

Making responsible choices online

Cookies are only one part of your online privacy and security. You should use a current browser, keep your device and security software updated, protect your login details and avoid accessing account services on devices you do not trust. Never share passwords, one-time codes or other security information with another person. If you believe your account or device may have been compromised, stop using the affected service and use the available support or account-security options on the website.

Cookie preferences do not replace account controls or responsible gambling tools. If you want to take a break, restrict access, review your activity or use another responsible gambling option, please use the responsible gambling features and information available on the website. Those tools operate separately from cookie settings.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers and devices provide a Do Not Track or similar signal. There is no single industry-wide standard for responding to these signals, so the website may not respond to every such setting in the same way. You can use the cookie settings tool and your browser controls to manage optional cookies and similar technologies.

4. Third parties, information sharing and policy changes

We may use service providers to help operate, secure, analyse or improve the website. These providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies on our behalf, or they may process information collected through their own services. Their activities may include website hosting, security monitoring, performance measurement, customer support, communications, payment-related technical services and the delivery of website features.

We do not treat every third-party technology in the same way. Some technologies may be essential to a service you request, while others may require your consent. The cookie settings tool, where available, may provide more information about the categories of cookies in use and the choices available. Third-party services may also have their own privacy and cookie policies, and you should review those policies where relevant.

Information collected through cookies may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain security, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, prevent fraud, enforce our terms or protect the rights and safety of Horus Casino, our users and others. We may also use information in an aggregated or de-identified form for reporting, service improvement and business analysis.

Cookie information may be processed by providers located in Australia or overseas, depending on the services used to operate the website. Where information is handled by another organisation, that organisation may process it under its own terms, privacy policy and legal obligations. Our Privacy Policy contains further information about how personal information may be collected, used, stored and disclosed.

How long information is kept

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session or persistent cookie, its purpose and the settings applied by the relevant service. Information collected through cookies may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to meet legal and regulatory requirements, to resolve disputes, to maintain records or to protect the website and its users.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when the website, technologies, services or legal requirements change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date where appropriate. If a change affects the way optional cookies are used or the choices available to you, we may provide additional information through the website or cookie settings tool. You should review this page from time to time to remain informed.

Questions and further information

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy or the use of cookies on the website, please use the support or contact options published on the Horus Casino website. When making an enquiry, avoid including passwords, payment details or other sensitive information unless it is specifically requested through a secure process. For broader information about personal information and privacy, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
