What a Cookie Actually Does
A cookie is a tiny text file. Your browser saves it when you visit a site, and the next time you come back, that file is read again. That's how the site recognizes your device, remembers what language you selected, keeps you logged in, or recalls any preferences you've set. Nothing dramatic — just a practical tool for making repeated visits feel consistent.
Without cookies, every page load would treat you as a completely new visitor. Every. Single. Time. You'd be setting up your preferences over and over, and sessions wouldn't hold properly.
The Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | What It Does | How Long It Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Keeps core functions running — sessions, navigation, security checks | Duration of your session |
| Functional Cookies | Saves your personal settings like language and display preferences | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics Cookies | Tracks general usage patterns so we can identify what's working and what isn't | Up to 24 months |
| Performance Cookies | Monitors loading times and technical errors to help us fix issues faster | Up to 6 months |
| Marketing Cookies | Used to show relevant offers and measure campaign effectiveness | Up to 30 days |
Essential Cookies Cannot Be Switched Off
Some cookies are not optional. If the site is going to function at all — load pages correctly, maintain your session, apply basic security — these files need to be there. Blocking them through your browser settings won't cause an error message, but it will likely break key parts of the site in unpredictable ways.
All other categories are not strictly necessary for the site to run, which means you have more say over them.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on cherrygoldcasino-au.com don't come from us directly. Analytics providers and certain integrated tools may place their own cookies when you interact with the site. These third parties operate under their own privacy and data policies, which are separate from ours. We don't control what they do with data collected through their own cookies, so we'd recommend reviewing their policies if that's a concern.
Common third-party tools that may set cookies include:
- Traffic analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Ad performance trackers
- Session quality tools
- Support and chat integrations
How to Manage or Remove Cookies
Your browser gives you full control. Most modern browsers let you view exactly which cookies are stored, block specific categories, or wipe everything with a few clicks. Here's where to look in some common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Deleting cookies means the site won't remember your preferences next time. You may also get logged out of your account. These are just things to keep in mind before clearing everything.
Cookie Consent on This Site
When you first visit cherrygoldcasino-au.com, you'll see a notice about cookies. Continuing to use the site while ignoring that banner, or actively clicking to accept, counts as consent for non-essential cookies. You can revisit and change your preferences at any time — consent is not permanent unless you want it to be.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cookies contain personal information like my name or email?
No. Cookies store identifiers and settings — not readable personal details. They recognize your device or browser, not you as an individual by name.
Can cookies give my device a virus?
No. Cookies are plain text files. They cannot run code, execute programs, or interact with your system the way software can. They're passive data, nothing more.
What happens if I block all cookies?
Essential parts of the site may stop working properly. You might find it difficult to stay logged in or navigate normally. Blocking non-essential cookies won't affect the core experience as significantly.
Does Cherry Gold Casino sell cookie data?
No. Data collected through cookies on this site is used internally to improve how the site functions and to measure general usage patterns. It is not sold to outside parties.
How often does this Cookie Policy change?
We update it when something material changes — a new tool, a change in how analytics are handled, or legal requirements. The current version is always the one published on this page.
