1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website can store through your browser. They can help a website remember settings, maintain essential functions, understand how pages are used or support permitted marketing activities.
Some technologies perform similar functions without using a traditional cookie. For simplicity, this policy explains cookies together with related browser-storage technologies where they serve comparable purposes.
PlayRoomAU separates essential technologies from optional categories so that you can make a clear choice about non-essential use.
2. Local Storage
PlayRoomAU uses browser localStorage for certain website preferences. Unlike a session value that disappears when a tab closes, localStorage can remain in your browser until it is removed by website logic, browser settings or the user.
The website currently uses localStorage to remember:
- whether the 18+ age acknowledgement has been completed on the device;
- your cookie-category choices;
- the settings needed to avoid repeatedly showing the same consent interface.
These browser-storage records are not gambling balances, payment records or online wagering accounts.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential technologies support functions that are necessary for the website to operate as intended. They may be used for security, basic navigation, consent management, age-gate status and other core functions.
Because these technologies are required for core operation, they remain enabled when you choose “Essential Only”. We do not use the essential category to justify unrelated advertising or behavioural profiling.
Blocking all browser storage through your browser may affect age-gate, consent or preference functionality.
4. Analytics
Analytics technologies help us understand aggregate website usage, such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, device types, general traffic patterns and technical performance.
Analytics data can help identify broken links, slow pages, navigation issues and content that visitors find useful. Optional analytics should remain inactive unless the Analytics category is enabled through Cookie Settings.
Where analytics providers are used, they may process technical identifiers and usage data according to their own service terms and our configuration of the service.
5. Preferences
Preference technologies remember optional choices that make future visits more convenient. Depending on website features, this may include display choices, selected location preferences or other non-essential settings.
If you decline the Preferences category, the website should remain usable, but some choices may need to be selected again on a later visit.
6. Marketing Cookies
Marketing technologies may be used to measure campaign performance, understand interactions with promotional content or support advertising where such features are enabled and permitted.
Marketing technologies are optional and should not be activated through PlayRoomAU.com before the Marketing category is accepted.
PlayRoomAU does not require acceptance of marketing cookies in order to access general venue information or responsible-gambling content.
7. Retention
Different cookies and browser-storage entries can remain for different periods. Some exist only for the current browsing session; others may remain longer so that a choice or preference can be remembered.
Consent and preference records may remain until they expire, are replaced by a newer choice or are deleted through browser controls. We aim to keep retention proportionate to the purpose of the relevant technology.
You can clear stored website data through your browser at any time. Doing so may cause the age gate or cookie panel to appear again.
8. Third-Party Technologies
Some website features can involve third-party services, for example mapping, font, analytics, social or infrastructure providers. A third-party service may set or read its own technologies when the relevant feature is loaded.
Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices. Where a feature requires optional tracking, PlayRoomAU aims to respect the category choices made through the website's consent controls.
Following a link to an external website is different from using a technology embedded on PlayRoomAU.com; once you leave our website, the destination site's policies apply.
9. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and other site data. Browser menus may also let you clear data for a single website, block third-party cookies or remove all stored data.
Blocking essential storage at browser level can prevent some website features from remembering your choices. Clearing localStorage will remove locally saved age-gate and cookie-preference records for PlayRoomAU.com.
Browser settings operate independently from the Cookie Settings panel on this website.
10. Changing Consent
You can change optional cookie choices at any time by reopening Cookie Settings. A new selection replaces the previous PlayRoomAU cookie preference stored in your browser.
Turning a category off prevents future activation through our website configuration, but information already processed by an external provider may remain subject to that provider's retention rules and applicable law.
