Cookies Policy | F1 Casino

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or another internet-enabled device. When you return to the website, the cookie can help the website recognise your browser or device. Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, such as your name or contact details. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information that we hold about you, depending on how you use our services and the choices available to you.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. These technologies can perform functions similar to cookies, such as remembering settings, measuring website activity, detecting unusual behaviour and helping us understand which content is useful to visitors. In this policy, we use the term cookies to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless a separate distinction is needed.

Some cookies are set by F1 Casino, while others may be set by service providers that support website operation, security, analytics, advertising or other functions. Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to that party’s own privacy information.

Why cookies matter

They help pages load and function correctly.
They can remember choices made during a visit, such as language, region or display preferences.
They help protect accounts, transactions and services from misuse.
They provide information about website performance and visitor activity.
They may help us present information, promotions or content that is more relevant to you, where permitted.

2. Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on the website may vary depending on the pages you visit, the services you use, your device and your cookie choices. The following categories describe the main purposes for which cookies may be used. A particular cookie may serve more than one purpose.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for core website functions. They may support account access, session management, security controls, navigation, responsible access features and the processing of requests. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not work as intended. Because they are necessary for operation or security, they may not be removable through every preference tool, although you can usually block them through your browser. Blocking them may prevent access to some services.

Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember information that changes how it looks or behaves. For example, they may remember selected settings, preferred display options or information entered during a visit. Their purpose is to make future visits more convenient and consistent. If you disable these cookies, some personalised features may not be available or may need to be selected again.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how long pages take to load and whether visitors experience errors. Information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to monitor performance, improve navigation and develop website content. Analytics information may be collected by F1 Casino or by service providers acting on our behalf.

Security and fraud-prevention technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to identify suspicious activity, protect accounts, support identity and age checks, prevent unauthorised access and help maintain the integrity of services. These technologies may consider information about your device, browser, network and activity patterns. They are important for maintaining a safer online environment and may operate even where optional cookies have been declined.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, these cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand interactions with promotional content or show information that may be relevant to your interests. They may be placed by F1 Casino or by advertising and measurement partners. Marketing cookies are generally optional and can usually be managed through the website’s cookie controls or your browser settings.

3. Managing your cookie choices

When available, the website’s cookie banner or preference tool allows you to accept, reject or adjust categories of optional cookies. Your choices may be saved in a cookie or similar local setting so that the preference tool does not ask you again during every visit. If you delete that setting, use another browser or change devices, you may be asked to make your choices again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from particular websites, block third-party cookies or receive a warning before cookies are stored. The method differs between browsers and devices, so you should refer to the relevant browser’s help or settings information.

Open the privacy, security or site settings in your browser.
Review the available cookie and tracking controls.
Choose whether to allow, restrict or delete cookies.
Close and reopen your browser if required for the change to take effect.

Disabling cookies does not necessarily delete information already collected before the change. It may also affect website performance, account functions, login sessions, security checks and the availability of certain features. Some services may be unavailable or may not operate properly if all cookies are blocked. You may need to manage settings separately on each browser or device that you use.

Cookie controls are separate from other privacy choices, such as marketing preferences, account communications or data access requests. Making a cookie choice does not automatically change those other preferences. You should review the relevant settings and information for each type of choice.

4. Information, third parties and updates

Information collected through cookies may include an IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, pages viewed, links selected, visit times, referral information and interactions with website features. Depending on the technology and the service involved, this information may be combined with information from your account or other interactions with us. We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

We may use carefully selected service providers to host, secure, analyse, maintain or improve the website and related services. These providers may process information on our behalf and may use cookies or similar technologies to perform their services. Third parties may also have their own policies and controls. We do not control every third-party website or technology, so you should review the information provided by those third parties before using their services.

Cookies may involve the transfer or storage of information outside Australia, depending on the provider and the technical arrangements used. Where personal information is handled in this way, we take steps intended to support appropriate protection and lawful handling. Further information about how personal information is collected, used, disclosed and retained is available in the Privacy Policy.

Children and age-restricted services

The website and online gambling services are intended only for people who meet the applicable minimum age and eligibility requirements. We do not knowingly use cookies to invite children to use gambling services. If you believe that a child has provided information or accessed a restricted service, the matter should be reported through the available website support channel so it can be considered appropriately.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or our practices. The updated version will be made available on this page, with the effective date or other notice where appropriate. You should review this page periodically so you understand how cookies are being used. Continued use of the website after an update may indicate that you have read the revised policy, but your available consent and preference choices will continue to apply where required.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, your cookie choices or the handling of personal information, please use the contact or support options made available on the F1 Casino website. Do not send sensitive account, payment or identity information through an unsecured channel unless specifically requested through an appropriate support process.
