Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how CasinoStaysDownUnder uses cookies and similar browser technologies when visitors access our website. It describes the categories used, the reasons for using them, the choices available through the cookie banner and the ways browser settings can affect website functionality.

Some technologies are required for the website to operate as expected. Others are optional and are used only when the relevant preference has been enabled. The Cookie Settings control allows visitors to review and change optional choices at any time.

This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains the broader handling of personal information connected with enquiries, newsletters, embedded services and website use.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website or service places in a browser's storage. Cookies can contain a generated identifier, a preference value, a timestamp or other limited information that helps a website recognise a browser or remember an action.

Cookies do not usually contain complete documents or programs and cannot independently access files stored elsewhere on a device. Their effect depends on the data stored, the browser settings and the service that reads them.

Cookies can be first-party, meaning they are associated with the website being visited, or third-party, meaning they are set or read by another service used within the page.

Why We Use Cookies

CasinoStaysDownUnder uses cookies and similar technologies to support reliable navigation, remember consent choices, improve compatibility and understand how visitors move through the website. The purpose of a technology determines whether it is treated as essential or optional.

Optional technologies can help identify pages that are useful, features that are difficult to use and broad destination interests. This information may guide improvements to content structure, mobile layouts and travel information.

We do not use cookies to guarantee hotel availability, complete a payment or determine casino access. Those matters are handled separately by the relevant hotel or service provider.

• Keeping the website functional and secure.
• Remembering the visitor's cookie decision.
• Maintaining interface and destination preferences.
• Measuring broad page and feature use when analytics are enabled.
• Supporting relevant campaign measurement when marketing cookies are enabled.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies and storage items are required for core functions and cannot be disabled through the website's optional-cookie controls. They may be used to remember whether the cookie banner has been answered, maintain security or support a feature that the visitor specifically requests.

Because these technologies are necessary for the expected operation of the website, they are not used for unrelated advertising. Blocking them through browser settings may cause the banner to reappear, prevent preferences from being saved or affect navigation.

The cookie preference record may include whether analytics, preference and marketing categories were accepted or rejected. It does not need to contain the visitor's name, email address or hotel enquiry details.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how the website is used at an aggregated level. They may record page views, navigation paths, device category, approximate session duration and interactions with selected controls.

Analytics information can reveal whether visitors are finding hotel pages, whether a form is difficult to complete or whether a page performs poorly on a particular device type. This information supports practical improvements rather than individual guest decisions.

Analytics cookies are optional. When the category is disabled, optional analytics should not be activated through the website's consent controls. Essential technical logs required for security and page delivery may still exist independently of optional analytics.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies or local storage entries remember choices that make the website more convenient. Examples can include a preferred destination, interface state, expanded panel or other setting selected by a visitor.

These technologies reduce the need to repeat the same choice during a later visit. They are not required for basic access to most content, so they can be accepted or rejected through Cookie Settings.

If preference cookies are rejected or deleted, the website should remain usable, but a visitor may need to repeat selections and some personalised interface behaviour may return to its default state.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to understand whether a visitor arrived through a campaign, to measure the effectiveness of travel-related communications or to limit repeated promotional content. They may involve third-party advertising or social platforms when such services are enabled.

Marketing cookies are optional and are not necessary to browse hotel, dining, wellness or responsible gambling information. Rejecting this category should not prevent access to the main website content.

CasinoStaysDownUnder does not use marketing cookies to promise gambling outcomes, target minors or present gambling as a way to earn income. Casino facilities are communicated as adult entertainment only.

Local Storage

Local storage is a browser feature that allows a website to save small pieces of information on a device without using a traditional cookie. Information can remain after the browser is closed until it is removed by the website, changed by the visitor or cleared through browser settings.

CasinoStaysDownUnder uses local storage to remember cookie preferences so that the banner does not appear on every page or every visit. It may also be used for limited interface settings where appropriate.

Local storage remains associated with a particular browser and device. A choice made on one device will not automatically appear on another device, in another browser or in private browsing mode.

Session Storage

Session storage is similar to local storage but is normally limited to the current browser tab or browsing session. It can support temporary interface state without retaining that information for a long period.

A session-storage value may be used to remember a temporary selection while a visitor moves between related pages. The value is generally removed when the relevant tab or browser session ends.

Session storage should not be used to hold payment card information, identification documents or other sensitive data through the CasinoStaysDownUnder website.

Embedded Maps

Hotel pages may contain Google Maps frames that provide general location information. A map is delivered by Google rather than directly by CasinoStaysDownUnder, and loading it may allow Google to set or read cookies or similar identifiers.

The map provider may receive technical information such as an IP address, browser details, device information and interactions with the map. If a visitor is signed in to a provider account, the provider may associate activity with that account according to its own settings and policies.

Visitors who do not wish to load an embedded map can rely on the written address shown on the hotel page or use browser controls that block third-party content.

Third-Party Content

The website may use third-party services for fonts, icons, maps, social links, content delivery and other technical functions. A browser may communicate directly with the provider when the relevant content is requested.

Third-party cookies are controlled by the provider that sets them. Their names, purposes and durations may change when the provider updates its technology. CasinoStaysDownUnder does not have direct access to every cookie set by an independent service.

Visitors should review the privacy and cookie information published by the relevant provider. Browser tools can also be used to inspect stored cookies and identify the domain responsible for them.

Cookie Duration

Cookies can be session cookies, which normally expire when the browser closes, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period or until deleted. The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the settings chosen by the provider.

A consent preference may remain longer than a temporary interface cookie because it is intended to prevent the banner from appearing repeatedly. Analytics and marketing cookies may have different lifetimes depending on the service used.

A cookie may be refreshed when the website is revisited. Visitors can remove cookies at any time through browser settings, regardless of the expiry period originally assigned.

Managing Your Preferences

The cookie banner displayed on a first visit offers three main choices: Accept All, Reject Optional and Customise. Accept All enables optional categories, Reject Optional leaves only essential technologies active, and Customise opens a panel with individual category controls.

The Cookie Settings link in the footer can be used to reopen the panel after a choice has been saved. This allows a visitor to change preferences without clearing all browser data.

Saving a new choice affects future activity in that browser. Technologies already used before a preference was changed may require additional provider-specific or browser controls to remove previously stored information.

• Essential cookies remain active.
• Analytics cookies can be enabled or disabled.
• Preference cookies can be enabled or disabled.
• Marketing cookies can be enabled or disabled.

Browser Cookie Controls

Most modern browsers allow users to view, delete, block or limit cookies. Controls may be available for all websites, a particular website, third-party cookies or private browsing sessions.

The exact steps differ between browsers and versions. Visitors should use the browser's official help information for current instructions. Mobile operating systems may provide additional privacy controls that affect tracking, advertising identifiers and cross-site activity.

Blocking all cookies can affect essential functions, including the ability to remember the cookie decision. Deleting cookies may cause the banner to appear again during a later visit.

Withdrawing Consent

Consent for optional cookies can be withdrawn at any time by reopening Cookie Settings and turning off the relevant categories. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the change.

After optional categories are disabled, the website should stop initiating future optional activity under those categories. A third-party provider may still retain information already collected according to its own retention rules and legal obligations.

Visitors can also clear stored cookies, local storage and site data through browser settings. This may remove the saved consent record and other preferences.

Updating Cookie Settings

When preferences are saved, a record is stored in local storage so that the selected categories can be applied across the CasinoStaysDownUnder pages. The banner then closes and should remain closed on later visits using the same browser and device.

If the preference record is unavailable, corrupted, cleared or blocked, the website may ask the visitor to choose again. This is expected behaviour because the site cannot reliably recognise the earlier selection without a stored value.

A substantial change to cookie categories or providers may require the consent interface to be shown again so that visitors can review the updated information.

Changes to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when website features, providers, storage methods or legal requirements change. The current version will remain available through the footer and the cookie banner.

The review date at the top of the page indicates when the policy was last reviewed. Visitors are encouraged to check the policy periodically, especially after a new consent notice appears.

Where a change materially affects the use of optional cookies, the website may request a new preference rather than relying on an older choice.
