How We Use Cookies at Funbet Casino
This page spells out every cookie we set when you visit funbet-pokies.com, why it is there, how long it sticks around, and what you can do about it. We wrote it in plain English because a cookie policy you cannot understand is not much use to anyone.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website drops onto your device when you visit. It holds a snippet of data, often just a random ID, that the site reads back on your next visit so it remembers something about you. That might be your login session, the fact that you dismissed a banner, or which language you picked last time.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot install software, read files off your hard drive, or catch a virus. They are passive strings of text. When you play pokies on our site, cookies are what keep you logged in between spins instead of asking for your password on every single page load.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. Without them you cannot log in, your session drops mid-game, and our security layer cannot tell a real player from a bot. We do not ask for consent before setting these because the site simply does not function without them.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices. They store the language you selected, your odds format preference in the sportsbook, and whether you collapsed the lobby filters last visit. They make your next visit feel like yours rather than a fresh stranger's.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how people move through our 12,800+ game library. Which lobby tiles get clicks, where players abandon a deposit, how long a typical session runs. The data is aggregated and anonymised; it tells us the site is working, not who you are.
Marketing
Marketing cookies power retargeting. If you looked at a promotion and left without claiming it, these cookies let our ad partners show you a reminder elsewhere on the web. You can switch these off entirely through our banner or your browser, and nothing on the site itself breaks.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example names | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, login, security | funbet_sess, funbet_auth, cf_chl | Session to 30 days | Cannot be disabled |
| Functional | Language and preferences | funbet_lang, funbet_pref | 90 days | Via banner or browser |
| Analytics | Aggregated behaviour | _ga, _gid | Up to 365 days | Via banner or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting and ads | _fbp, ide, uuid2 | 30 to 90 days | Via banner or browser |
Third Party Cookies We Allow
Some cookies on our pages come from partners, not from us. We allow three categories of them, and each is covered by that partner's own privacy policy as well as ours.
Analytics providers help us count traffic and spot broken pages. Ad networks serve our promotional campaigns and measure whether they work. Payment providers set cookies during deposit and withdrawal flows so your transaction can be verified and completed securely; these fire only on the payment pages and never track you around the rest of the site.
We do not allow third parties to set cookies on our site that fall outside these three categories. If a partner changes what their cookies do, we review it before the change reaches you.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
On our site
The first time you land on funbet-pokies.com, our cookie banner appears. You can accept everything, reject everything except strictly necessary cookies, or open granular settings and toggle analytics and marketing independently. You can reopen those settings any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. Your choice is stored for 12 months, then we ask again.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies outright:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, or clear browsing data for a full wipe.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where Prevent Cross-Site Tracking and Manage Website Data give you control.
- 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 means you cannot log in, deposit, or play. Blocking functional cookies means we forget your language and layout preferences each visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay at all; the site runs normally, you just see fewer ads from us around the web.
How Long We Keep Them
Cookie lifetimes are set per category, and we keep them as short as the job allows. Session cookies are erased the moment you close your browser. Preference and analytics cookies last longer because remembering over time is the entire point of them.
| Category | Retention |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session up to 30 days |
| Functional | 90 days |
| Analytics | Up to 365 days |
| Marketing | 30 to 90 days |
| Your consent choice | 12 months |
Changes to This Policy
When we add, remove, or change a cookie category, we update this page and bump the version date at the top. If a change meaningfully affects your privacy, we also surface a notice through our site before it takes effect, and where the law requires it we ask for fresh consent rather than relying on your earlier choice. Questions about any of this go to [email protected], where our team answers around the clock.
Funbet Casino FAQ
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Funbet Casino?
You have to accept strictly necessary cookies, because without them login, deposits, and gameplay cannot function. Analytics and marketing cookies are fully optional and you can reject them in the banner or in the footer's Cookie settings link.
Will rejecting marketing cookies stop me seeing bonuses?
No. All our promotions, including the welcome bonus of 100% up to 800 AUD with 200 free spins, remain fully visible and claimable on the site. Rejecting marketing cookies only reduces retargeting ads you might see elsewhere on the web.
How do I delete cookies that are already on my device?
Use your browser's clear browsing data function, which removes cookies for all sites including ours. You can also delete cookies for our domain only through your browser's site data settings.
Do you use cookies to track my gambling habits?
Analytics cookies record aggregated behaviour such as which pages get visited, not your individual betting history. Your account activity is stored under our privacy policy, separate from cookies.
Does clearing cookies log me out?
Yes. Clearing cookies removes your session, so you will need to log in again on your next visit. Your account, balance, and settings are untouched.
