Cookie Policy

About Cookies

Cookies are small text files or browser-storage entries placed on a device when a website is visited. They can support essential page functions, remember selections, protect forms, maintain security and provide information about how pages are used.

Some cookies exist only while the browser is open. Others remain for a defined period so that a preference can be remembered on a later visit. Similar technologies, including localStorage, may store a value directly in the browser without creating a traditional cookie file.

How This Website Uses Storage

CasinoHotelsDownUnder uses limited browser storage to operate the cookie banner and remember the choices you make. Optional technologies may also be used to understand general website performance, remember interface preferences or support communication measurement.

The exact cookies available can change when website features or service providers change. We aim to keep categories clear so that visitors can make an informed choice without reading complex technical descriptions.

• Essential storage supports core controls, security and consent records.
• Analytics storage helps measure broad use and improve page performance.
• Preference storage remembers optional interface or content choices.
• Marketing storage may support campaign measurement or communication relevance.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies and local-storage values are required for functions that cannot reasonably operate without them. They may remember whether the cookie banner has been answered, maintain accessibility settings, support navigation and protect forms from basic misuse.

These technologies do not exist to build an advertising profile. They are used because the website needs to remember a control state or complete a technical request. For this reason, the Essential category is marked Always Active in the settings panel.

Typical essential purposes

• Saving the date and content of your cookie preference.
• Preventing the same privacy banner from appearing on every page.
• Supporting secure and reliable page loading.
• Maintaining modal, menu and accessibility controls during a visit.
• Helping protect forms and site infrastructure from automated misuse.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may collect information about page visits, approximate device category, navigation flow, referral source, page response time and general interaction events. This information helps us understand whether visitors can find hotel pages, legal information and contact options easily.

Where analytics is used, we prefer aggregated reporting and practical website-improvement measures. Analytics data should not be used to decide whether a person can access a hotel, restaurant, wellness service or casino facility.

Analytics remains optional. If you reject optional cookies, analytics features linked to consent should remain inactive. Essential diagnostic logs needed to keep the website secure may still operate independently of marketing or audience measurement.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices that make a later visit more convenient. This can include interface selections, content display settings or other optional controls introduced as the website develops.

Preference storage is not required for basic access to hotel information. If you disable it, pages should remain available, but you may need to repeat certain choices during a future visit.

The current cookie settings panel allows the Preference category to be turned on or off independently from Analytics and Marketing.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may support campaign measurement, newsletter engagement or the delivery of communications related to Australian hotel and destination content. They can help identify which broad campaigns bring visitors to the website or which content themes are most useful.

Marketing cookies are optional and should not be activated unless you have accepted that category. Rejecting marketing cookies does not prevent you from browsing hotel pages, using the contact form or subscribing to communications through a direct sign-up.

CasinoHotelsDownUnder does not use cookie preferences to promise gambling winnings, target people based on gambling losses or promote gambling as a source of income.

Third-Party Content

Some website resources are delivered by third parties, such as font providers, icon libraries, mapping services, hosting infrastructure or communication platforms. A technical request may be sent to the provider when a resource loads.

Third-party services may use their own cookies or similar technologies under their own policies. Where the service is optional and can be controlled through consent, it should follow the relevant category. Some technical resources may be necessary to display the page as intended.

Moving from CasinoHotelsDownUnder to an external hotel, tourism or support website creates a separate interaction with that provider. Cookie choices saved on this website do not automatically control cookies used by another website.

Google Maps and Embedded Services

Hotel pages contain embedded Google Maps to provide location context and help visitors plan travel. When a map loads, the map provider may receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, page address and map interactions.

Opening directions, zooming, moving the map or selecting a location may result in additional requests to the mapping provider. The provider may apply its own cookies and privacy settings. Visitors who prefer not to interact with the map can use the written address displayed in the Hotel Details section.

Other embedded services introduced in the future will be described in this policy or the relevant consent category where practical.

Cookie Duration

Cookie and storage duration depends on purpose. Session cookies normally expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies or local-storage values remain until a defined expiry, until they are replaced by a new value or until you delete them.

General duration principles

• Consent records may remain long enough to avoid showing the banner on every visit.
• Security cookies may last for a session or a short period connected to a security event.
• Analytics cookies may remain for a defined reporting period where consent has been provided.
• Preference cookies may remain until the preference is changed or browser data is cleared.
• Third-party cookie duration is determined by the provider responsible for that cookie.

We review storage use periodically and aim not to retain cookie data longer than reasonably required for its stated purpose.

Consent and Your Choices

On the first visit, the cookie banner presents three options: Accept All, Reject Optional and Manage Cookies. Accept All enables optional categories. Reject Optional keeps only essential storage active. Manage Cookies opens a panel where individual categories can be selected.

A choice applies to the browser and device used at the time. If you use another device, private browsing window or browser profile, you may be asked to choose again. Clearing localStorage or cookies can also remove the saved consent record.

Managing Preferences

You can reopen the settings panel at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the footer. The panel shows Essential as Always Active and provides separate controls for Analytics, Preferences and Marketing.

Selecting Save My Choices records the combination you selected. Accept All turns all optional categories on. Reject Optional turns all optional categories off. A new selection replaces the previous setting saved in the browser.

Where a third-party service has already loaded before a preference is changed, the new setting controls future use on this website. You may need to refresh the page or clear third-party storage to remove data already placed by another provider.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to inspect, block, delete or limit cookies. Controls are usually found in privacy, security or site-data settings. You can often block all cookies, block third-party cookies, delete data for one website or clear all stored data.

Blocking all storage may affect website functions. The cookie banner may reappear, saved choices may be lost, forms may behave differently and embedded content may not load correctly. Browser settings operate independently from the Cookie Settings panel on this website.

Common browser actions

• View cookies and site data stored for the current domain.
• Delete data for CasinoHotelsDownUnder only.
• Block third-party cookies while allowing first-party storage.
• Automatically clear cookies when the browser closes.
• Use private or incognito browsing for a separate temporary session.

Deleting Stored Data

Deleting cookies or localStorage removes values stored in the browser. This can reset privacy selections and cause the cookie banner to appear again. It does not necessarily delete information already sent to a service provider before the browser data was cleared.

To request deletion of personal information associated with an enquiry or newsletter subscription, use the contact details in the Privacy Policy. Browser deletion controls and personal-information requests address different types of data.

If you clear only third-party cookies, first-party consent storage may remain. If you clear all site data, the website will treat the next visit as a new privacy-choice session.

Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers or devices offer Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control or similar preference signals. The technical meaning and legal effect of these signals can vary between browsers and jurisdictions.

Where a recognised signal is supported by our technology and applicable requirements, we aim to respect it. The most direct way to control optional categories on this website is still the Cookie Settings panel, combined with your browser’s privacy controls.

Policy Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, website features, service providers or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.

If a change materially affects optional categories or the meaning of a previous consent choice, we may display the banner again so that a fresh decision can be made. Minor wording or formatting changes may not require renewed consent.
