Cookies Policy | Ruby Fortune Casino

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, phone, tablet or another device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise a device, remember certain information and provide a more consistent experience. Cookies can be temporary or persistent. Temporary cookies, sometimes called session cookies, normally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

A cookie does not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information held by Ruby Fortune Casino, such as account, device or usage information. Where this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other tracking tools. These technologies can perform functions similar to cookies, such as recognising a device, measuring website activity or supporting security. References to cookies in this policy include these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are placed by Ruby Fortune Casino or by a service operating on our behalf. Third-party cookies are placed by another organisation, such as an analytics, advertising, payment, security or technical service provider. Third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the information provided by relevant third parties where their technologies are used.

Why we use cookies

The types of cookies used on the website may change over time as features, services and technical arrangements change. Cookies may be used for the following general purposes:

Strictly necessary functions: These cookies help the website operate and support essential features, including page navigation, account access, session management and security. Without them, some requested services may not work properly.
Account and preference functions: These cookies may remember choices such as language, region, display preferences or other settings. They can help reduce the need to enter the same information repeatedly.
Security and fraud prevention: Cookies and related technologies may help identify unusual activity, protect accounts, prevent misuse and support the safe operation of the website and gaming services.
Performance and analytics: These cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are visited, how features perform and where improvements may be needed. Information is generally reviewed in aggregate or in a form designed to support website analysis.
Functionality: These technologies may support features such as help tools, content delivery, error reporting and other services that improve the user experience.
Marketing and advertising: Where permitted and used, these cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising, understand the effectiveness of promotions or show content that may be more relevant to a visitor. Marketing cookies may be provided by Ruby Fortune Casino or selected third parties.
Compliance and responsible operation: Cookie-related information may assist with age and location checks, account controls, responsible gambling measures, legal obligations, auditing and the prevention of prohibited or unlawful activity.

Not every cookie is used for every visitor, and the technologies available may depend on the device, browser, website area, account status, applicable law and the consent choices you make. Essential cookies may continue to operate where they are needed to provide a service you have requested or to maintain website security.

Your choices and cookie controls

Where required, the website may provide a cookie banner, preference centre or similar tool that allows you to accept, reject or manage certain categories of cookies. Your choices may be stored so that they can be applied during later visits. If you clear your browser data, use another browser or change devices, you may need to set your preferences again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies. The method differs between browsers and devices, so refer to the browser provider's instructions for current guidance. You may be able to block all cookies, allow only certain types, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect how the website works. For example, you may be unable to sign in, use account features, maintain a session, save preferences or access parts of the gaming service. Blocking optional cookies may also affect content, analytics, advertising or other functions. Some settings may not be available if essential cookies are disabled.

Mobile devices and similar technologies

Mobile operating systems and applications may provide separate controls for advertising identifiers, permissions, storage and tracking. These controls are managed through your device or application settings. Changing a device-level setting may affect more than the Ruby Fortune Casino website. Information collected by an application or third-party service may also be subject to separate terms and privacy notices.

If you use private browsing, a virtual network, browser extensions or other privacy tools, the website may not function as expected. These tools can prevent required cookies from being stored or can remove them when a session ends. You remain responsible for reviewing the settings and permissions on devices used to access your account.

How cookie information is handled

Cookie information may be processed by Ruby Fortune Casino, businesses that provide services on our behalf, and other parties involved in operating, securing, analysing or improving the website. These parties may include hosting, technology, security, analytics, customer support, payment, compliance and marketing providers, where relevant. They may access information only as needed to provide their services, meet legal requirements or support legitimate business purposes.

Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, browser type, operating system, device information, pages viewed, dates and times of visits, referring pages, approximate location, interaction with website features and preference choices. The information collected will depend on the cookie and the settings applied to your device or account.

We may use cookie information to maintain website functionality, monitor performance, investigate technical issues, improve services, protect users, enforce our terms, support responsible gambling controls and comply with legal or regulatory obligations. We do not treat the use of cookies as permission to disregard any privacy rights or choices available to you under applicable law.

Some service providers may process information outside Australia. Where information is handled overseas, appropriate measures may be applied as required by applicable privacy obligations. Our Privacy Policy provides further information about how personal information is collected, used, stored, disclosed and managed.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, services, technology, legal obligations or cookie practices change. The updated version will be made available on this page and may include a new effective date or other notice. We recommend checking this page from time to time so that you remain informed about how cookies are used. Continued use of the website after an update may be treated as acknowledgement of the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.

Questions and privacy requests

If you have a question about this policy, want to understand a cookie preference, or wish to make a privacy-related request, please use the available support or privacy contact method provided on the Ruby Fortune Casino website. Requests may need to be verified before they are addressed. We may retain limited information about your request so that we can respond, keep appropriate records and meet our legal obligations.

This policy explains the general use of cookies and similar technologies. It does not describe every cookie that may be used at every time or on every device. A cookie list or preference tool, where available, may provide more current information about particular technologies and their purposes.
