Shazam Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Shazam Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and related services for players in Australia. It describes what cookies are, why they are used, and the choices you can make to manage them.
Cookies help us deliver core site functions, improve performance, and tailor content where appropriate. You can control many cookie settings through your browser or device; however, some cookies are necessary for the website to operate properly.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain for a set period or until you remove them.
Shazam Casino may also use similar technologies that operate like cookies, such as pixels, tags, SDKs, and local storage. For simplicity, this policy refers to these technologies as “cookies” unless otherwise stated.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can be grouped in different ways. Understanding these categories can help you decide what to allow.
- Session cookies: temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: cookies that remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies: set by the Shazam Casino website domain you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies: set by other domains (for example, analytics or advertising providers) when you interact with our site.
In practice, the same cookie may fit into multiple categories (for example, a persistent cookie that is also third-party). The sections below explain how Shazam Casino uses cookies by purpose.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the Shazam Casino website to function. Without them, you may not be able to navigate the site, log in securely, or use key features such as account access and payment flows.
These cookies are typically used to:
- Maintain secure sessions and help authenticate users after login.
- Support account-related functions, such as keeping you signed in as you move between pages.
- Protect the website and players by supporting security features, such as fraud detection signals and traffic integrity checks.
- Enable fundamental site operations, including load balancing and basic performance routing.
- Record your cookie consent preferences where a consent tool is provided.
Because essential cookies are necessary for delivering the service you request, they are generally enabled by default. If you block them, certain website functions may stop working correctly.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how the Shazam Casino website is used and how it performs. The goal is to improve reliability, speed, and user experience by measuring what works well and what needs attention.
These cookies may collect information such as:
- Pages visited and time spent on the site.
- Errors encountered (for example, broken links or page loading issues).
- General interaction patterns, such as navigation paths.
- Device and browser information (such as screen size or browser version) in a way that helps us optimise presentation.
Where feasible, Shazam Casino aims to use performance data in an aggregated or pseudonymised manner. Performance cookies are not intended to directly identify you by name, but they may still be considered personal information in some contexts depending on what is collected and how it is combined.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. They help the Shazam Casino website remember choices you make so that your experience is more consistent and convenient the next time you visit.
Functional cookies may be used to:
- Remember language or display preferences (where available).
- Save certain interface settings, such as layout choices.
- Maintain non-essential session settings that improve usability.
- Support customer-facing features, such as keeping certain form fields populated to reduce repeat entry (depending on your device and browser settings).
If you disable functional cookies, some personalisation may be lost, but core gameplay and account functions should continue to operate, subject to the role of essential cookies described above.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of promotions and, where applicable, to deliver advertising that may be more relevant to your interests. These cookies may be set by Shazam Casino or by third parties that provide advertising, attribution, or campaign measurement services.
Marketing cookies may:
- Track whether you arrived at the Shazam Casino website via a particular campaign or referral source.
- Limit how often you see the same advertisement (frequency capping).
- Help measure conversions, such as registrations or other interactions, to evaluate marketing performance.
- Support retargeting, meaning you may see Shazam Casino-related advertising on other websites or platforms after visiting our site.
Marketing cookies typically involve third-party technologies. Depending on your settings, declining marketing cookies may reduce the relevance of ads you see, but it should not prevent you from accessing the site.
Managing Cookies
You have choices when it comes to cookies. How you manage cookies depends on the browser, device, and (in some cases) whether you are using the website through an embedded web view or an in-app browser.
Browser and Device Controls
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through settings. You can usually:
- View and delete cookies stored on your device.
- Block all cookies or block cookies from specific websites.
- Allow cookies only from sites you visit (blocking third-party cookies).
- Set rules to clear cookies when you close your browser.
If you choose to block cookies, please note that essential cookies may be required to log in, keep your session secure, and access certain features. As a result, some parts of Shazam Casino may not function as intended.
Consent Tools (Where Available)
Depending on how you access Shazam Casino and the version of the website served to you, you may be offered a cookie preference tool. If provided, you can use it to accept or reject certain non-essential cookie categories and to update your choices later.
Your selections may be stored using a cookie or similar technology so the website can remember your preferences. If you delete cookies, you may need to re-set your preferences on your next visit.
Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar controls. There is no universal standard for how websites respond to such signals. Where required or appropriate, Shazam Casino will assess and implement a practical approach; however, cookie controls and opt-out mechanisms described in this policy remain the primary way to manage cookies on our site.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies used on the Shazam Casino website may be placed by third parties. These third parties may provide services such as analytics, payment support, fraud prevention, advertising delivery, or customer experience tools. Third-party cookies are governed by the third party’s own policies and settings.
Examples of situations where third-party cookies may appear include:
- Analytics measurement to understand traffic and usage trends.
- Advertising and attribution services that measure campaign effectiveness.
- Security and anti-fraud services that help protect accounts, payments, and platform integrity.
- Embedded content or integrations that support specific site functions.
Shazam Casino aims to work with providers that apply appropriate safeguards, but we do not control third-party cookies once they are set. You can often limit third-party cookies using browser settings that block third-party storage or by adjusting your preferences through the tools provided by those third parties.
Policy Updates
Shazam Casino may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, site functionality, or our practices. When we make updates, we will revise the content on this page. Changes take effect when the updated policy is posted.
If you continue to use the Shazam Casino website after an update, it means you have had an opportunity to review the revised policy. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed about how cookies are used and the options available to you.
