Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves to your browser when you visit. The file contains a short piece of data — typically an identifier — that lets the site recognise you on your next visit, remember your preferences, or understand how you are using the page.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses. They cannot access other files on your device. A cookie can only be read by the site that set it.

Beyond cookies, we also use similar technologies including web beacons (tiny invisible images that register when a page is loaded) and local storage (a browser-based data store used by some game engines). This policy covers all of these.

How We Use Cookies

Cookies on Uptown Pokies Casino serve four distinct purposes. We have kept this list deliberately short because we only use what we actually need.

• Keeping you logged in so you do not have to re-enter your password on every page.
• Remembering your display preferences such as language settings.
• Protecting your account from session hijacking and other security threats.
• Understanding which pages are visited most, how players navigate through the site, and where technical problems occur — so we can improve the experience.

We do not use cookies to serve advertisements, to build profiles for third-party marketing networks, or to monitor your activity on other websites.

Cookie Types in Detail

Here is a full breakdown of each category of cookie we use, what it is for, and whether you can opt out of it.

Third-Party Cookies

Some functionality on Uptown Pokies Casino involves third-party services that may set their own cookies. We keep this list minimal. Here is what you may encounter and why it is there.

Game software providers

Casino games are delivered through iframes provided by our software partners — RTG, Pragmatic Play, Evoplay, and others. These providers may set cookies to maintain your game session, remember bet preferences within the game, and track technical performance. Game cookies are governed by each provider's own privacy policy.

Payment processors

When you make a deposit or withdrawal, the transaction flows through a payment processor's interface. These processors may set short-lived session cookies to secure the transaction. These cookies expire once the transaction is complete.

Live casino streaming

Live dealer tables are streamed from external studio providers. These streams may use local storage to buffer video efficiently on your device. No personal data is shared with streaming providers beyond what is technically required to deliver the feed.

Your Choices

You have control over which optional cookies are stored in your browser. Here are your options, from most to least disruptive.

Accept all cookies

The default. You get the full experience including personalisation, analytics, and all functional features. No action required.

Disable only analytics cookies

You can block analytics tracking specifically. The site will work normally. We will simply have less data about how you are using it, which means improvements happen more slowly. You can do this through your browser settings or by adjusting cookie preferences — see the browser guide below.

Disable all optional cookies

You can turn off all non-essential cookies. The site will still work, but you may find it less convenient — the site will not remember your language, recently played games, or notification preferences between sessions.

Block all cookies

You can configure your browser to block all cookies from all sites. This will prevent you from logging in to Uptown Pokies Casino because authentication requires session cookies. We do not recommend this option unless you have a specific reason for it.

Browser-by-Browser Guide

Every major browser lets you view, manage, and delete cookies. Here is how to do it in the ones most commonly used by our players.

For mobile browsers, the cookie settings are usually found in the app's Settings or Privacy section. On iOS, Safari cookie preferences are managed via the iPhone Settings app under Safari.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a Do Not Track (DNT) signal that you can enable to request that websites not track your browsing activity. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and different companies interpret them differently.

We do respect DNT signals where technically feasible. When DNT is enabled in your browser, we disable analytics cookies on your session. Essential and security cookies are still used because they are necessary for the platform to function safely.

You can typically find the DNT setting in your browser's privacy settings. In Chrome it is under Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. In Firefox it is under Privacy & Security > Send websites a "Do Not Track" signal.

Updates to This Policy

We update this Cookie Policy when we add new technologies to the site, change our use of existing cookies, or when legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.

We will notify registered players by email about any significant changes to how we use cookies. Minor clarifications may be made without direct notification. We recommend reviewing this page periodically if you have specific privacy concerns.
