Our Cookie Policy
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep bitkingz-pokies.com working, secure and relevant to you. This page explains, in plain language, exactly what we set, why we set it and how you stay in control at all times.
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. Each one stores a snippet of information, such as a session number or your preferred language, and sends it back to us on your next visit so the site remembers you.
Think of a cookie as a name tag. Without it, we would not know that you have already logged in, chosen AUD as your currency or dismissed the cookie banner. Every time you reloaded a page, you would start from scratch.
Cookies cannot read files on your computer, install software or access anything outside the browser environment that created them. They are limited to the information a website itself has stored in them.
The Four Cookie Types
Strictly necessary
These keep the site running. Without them you could not log in to your Bitkingz Casino account, stay logged in between pages, or complete a deposit. They also protect you: security cookies detect fraudulent login attempts and help us meet our licensing obligations. Necessary cookies never track your behaviour for marketing purposes and cannot be switched off from within the site.
- sid, PHPSESSID: your login session so you do not re-authenticate on every page
- auth_token: keeps you signed in securely
- csrf_token: blocks forged requests when you make a deposit or change settings
- cookie_consent: remembers your banner choices
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices rather than your identity. They store your language selection, your preferred currency such as AUD, and whether you last played in demo or real-money mode. They make the site feel familiar, but the site still works if you refuse them; you simply reselect your preferences each visit.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site. Which pokies pages get the most attention, where people drop off during registration, how long a typical session lasts. The data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. We use it to fix broken pages and improve load times, not to build advertising profiles.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support the retargeting that keeps our promotions visible to people who have shown interest. If you viewed a bonus page but did not claim it, a marketing cookie lets our advertising partners show you a reminder. These are the only cookies we always ask your explicit consent for, and refusing them changes nothing about your ability to play.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, security, payments | Session to 365 days | Cannot be disabled |
| Functional | Language, currency, preferences | Up to 90 days | Via our banner |
| Analytics | Aggregated site usage | Up to 30 days | Via our banner |
| Marketing | Retargeting, campaign measurement | Up to 90 days | Via our banner |
Cookies From Third Parties
Some cookies on our pages are set by partners we work with, not by us. We allow three categories, and each is covered by a contract that limits what the partner may do with the data.
Analytics providers measure site performance and traffic patterns. They receive aggregated usage data and are contractually barred from selling it or using it for their own advertising.
Advertising networks serve and measure our promotional campaigns, including retargeting. They only receive this data if you have consented to marketing cookies through our banner.
Payment providers set strictly necessary cookies during a deposit or withdrawal to keep the transaction secure and prevent fraud. These activate only while you are completing a payment and are needed for the transaction to function.
How You Control Cookies
Our banner
The first time you visit bitkingz-pokies.com, our cookie banner appears. You can accept all categories, reject everything except strictly necessary cookies, or open granular settings and toggle analytics, functional and marketing cookies individually. You can reopen those settings at any time via the cookie link in our site footer and change your mind whenever you like.
Your browser settings
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies without our help. The exact menu names shift between versions, but the paths below work on current releases.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and site data
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or manage website data
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions
If you block cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break core functions. You may be unable to log in, your session may drop mid-game, and deposits can fail during verification. Blocking functional cookies is harmless but means reselecting language and currency every visit. Refusing analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay, bonuses or withdrawals; you simply will not see personalised offers, and we lose sight of how the site performs.
