What cookies are and why we use them
This is the Dingospins cookie policy for visitors in Australia. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser when you open a page. It lets the site recognise your device on a later visit and remember simple choices you have made. We use cookies so that Dingospins loads properly and behaves the way you expect.
Most cookies are tiny and hold no readable personal details. They usually contain a short random code that our servers match against a setting. You stay in control, because every modern browser lets you view, block or delete them whenever you like.
Adults only: our site is for people aged 18+. If you are under that age, please leave the site and do not create an account.
The kinds of cookies on our site
We group cookies by the job they do. Some are needed for the site to run at all, while others only appear if you agree to them. Understanding the groups helps you decide what to allow in your browser.
Essential cookies
These keep the site working. They remember that you are logged in as you move between pages, hold your session safely, and carry the choice you make on our cookie notice. Without them, basic parts of the site such as sign-in would stop working. Because the site cannot run properly without them, they are set without asking for separate consent.
Preference cookies
These remember small choices so you do not repeat them on every visit. Examples include the game search you typed, how a shelf of pokies was scrolled, or whether you dismissed a notice. They make browsing smoother and are never needed for security. If you block them, the site still works, but you may need to set things again each time.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how pages are used, such as which sections people read and where they leave. We use the results to fix confusing layouts and improve the site. The information is collected in a combined form, so it describes groups of visitors rather than judging any one person.
Cookie types at a glance
| Group | Purpose | Can you refuse? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Sign-in and session | No, the site needs them |
| Preference | Remembered choices | Yes, in your browser |
| Analytics | Page usage insight | Yes, in your browser |
How long cookies stay on your device
Cookies live for different lengths of time. A session cookie disappears the moment you close your browser, which makes it suitable for keeping you signed in during one visit. A persistent cookie stays until its set expiry date or until you remove it yourself.
We keep persistent cookies only as long as they are useful for their stated purpose. Cookies that remember a preference last longer than those that carry a single session. When a cookie has served its purpose, it expires and your browser discards it automatically.
You can also clear them early at any point. Doing so signs you out and resets any saved choices, so the next visit starts fresh.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser has a settings area where you can see stored cookies, delete them or block new ones. Look for a privacy or security menu and choose the option for site data. You can usually block all cookies, allow only those from sites you open, or clear everything when you close the browser.
Be aware that blocking essential cookies will stop sign-in and some features from working. If something on the site behaves oddly after a change, switching the setting back is the quickest fix.
Third-party cookies and your privacy
Some cookies are set by services that help us run the site, for example tools that measure usage. These are known as third-party cookies, because another provider places them rather than us. They follow the same rules in your browser as any other cookie, so you can block or delete them in the same way.
We do not sell what cookies collect, and we use it only to run and improve the site. If you want to know more about how we handle personal details beyond cookies, our privacy policy covers it in full. Playing should stay fun, and our responsible gambling page explains the tools and support that help you stay in control.
We may update this policy when the way we use cookies changes. The current version is always the one on this page, so it is worth a look now and then.
