Our Cookie Policy in Plain English
We launched Quickwin Casino in 2023 with a simple promise: keep things clear. This page explains every cookie our site at quickwin-pokies.com uses, why it exists, how long it stays on your device, and how you switch off anything you do not want.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that our website places on your device when you visit. It holds a few pieces of data, such as a session number or a language choice, and sends that data back to us on your next visit. Your browser handles all of this automatically.
Think of cookies as short-term memory. Without them, we cannot keep you logged in between pages, remember that you prefer AUD, or tell whether a page loaded correctly. Cookies do not read files from your computer, and they cannot access anything beyond the data we ourselves placed in them.
Two related technologies work the same way on our site: local storage and pixels. Local storage keeps slightly larger data sets in your browser, and pixels are tiny images that tell us whether an email or ad was opened. Everything in this policy applies to all three unless we say otherwise.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. They maintain your login session, protect our payment forms against fraud, and balance load across our servers. Necessary cookies load before you see our cookie banner because the site cannot function without them. You cannot switch them off in your browser settings without breaking core functions like sign-in and deposits.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you make: your language, your odds or game display preferences, and whether you dismissed a message. They are optional, and refusing them means re-entering those choices each visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies show us, in aggregate, which pages players open, where they stop, and which errors appear. We use the results to fix problems and reorder our lobby. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can decline analytics cookies in the banner or withdraw consent later from your account settings.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support our promotional campaigns. They limit how often you see the same ad and measure whether an ad led to a visit. Marketing cookies are set only after you press accept in our banner, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Cookie overview
The table lists representative cookie names per category together with their purpose, lifetime, and how you opt out.
| Cookie type | Example names | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | qwsid, qw_auth, qw_csrf | Login session, authentication, payment form security | Session to 24 hours | No opt-out; site breaks without them |
| Functional | qw_lang, qw_pref, qw_currency | Remembers language, currency and display preferences | Up to 365 days | Cookie banner or browser settings |
| Analytics | qw_anon_id, qw_pageview | Aggregated traffic and error reporting | Up to 90 days | Cookie banner or browser settings |
| Marketing | qw_ads, qw_camp | Ad frequency control and campaign measurement | Up to 90 days | Cookie banner or browser settings |
Third Party Cookies We Allow
A small number of trusted partners set their own cookies when you use our site. We group them into three categories and review the list each quarter.
Analytics providers measure site performance on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Their cookies feed the same aggregated reports we described above, and your banner choice covers them too.
Ad networks deliver our promotional campaigns and apply frequency caps, meaning they stop the same ad following you endlessly. They act as independent controllers of the data they collect, and their own privacy policies govern it. Declining marketing cookies in our banner stops most of these from loading at all.
Payment providers set strictly necessary cookies when you reach the deposit or withdrawal screen. These cookies keep your transaction secure and prevent duplicate charges. They are required by the payment flow, so they are not optional while a payment is in progress.
- Analytics providers: performance measurement only, aggregated data
- Ad networks: campaign delivery and frequency capping, consent-based
- Payment providers: transaction security, strictly necessary during deposits and withdrawals
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
On our site
The first time you open quickwin-pokies.com, our banner asks you to accept all cookies or accept only the necessary ones. The second option declines functional, analytics and marketing cookies in one click. Every banner includes a link to granular settings where you can switch each category on or off individually. You can also reach these settings any time from your account page, and changes apply immediately.
In your browser
Your browser blocks or deletes cookies independently of our settings. Here is where each major browser keeps the controls.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or cross-site tracking
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions
What happens if you block
Blocking necessary cookies has real costs: you will be signed out whenever you move between pages, deposits may fail security checks, and some games may not load. Blocking functional cookies only means we forget your language and currency each visit. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay at all, and our live chat and 24/7 support at [email protected] keep working either way.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Each cookie carries its own expiry date set by us or by our partners. Nothing lasts forever, and nothing outlives its purpose.
Session cookies expire the moment you close your browser. Short-lived cookies covering authentication and security last up to 24 hours. Functional preferences persist up to 365 days because re-choosing your language every day would be tedious. Analytics and marketing cookies run up to 90 days, which is long enough to measure a campaign and short enough to limit any profiling. Deleting cookies manually in your browser removes every category immediately, regardless of the scheduled expiry.
| Category | Persistence |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session or up to 24 hours |
| Functional | Up to 365 days |
| Analytics | Up to 90 days |
| Marketing | Up to 90 days |
Changes to This Policy
When we add, remove or repurpose a cookie category, we update this page before the change goes live. We also bump the version notice at the top of the page and, for material changes such as a new marketing partner, we show a fresh consent banner so you can review your choices. Questions about anything here go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], and our support team answers around the clock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Quickwin Casino?
No. You can decline everything except strictly necessary cookies and still play, deposit and withdraw. Necessary cookies keep your session and payment security intact, and the site cannot run without them.
Can I change my mind after accepting?
Yes. Open your account settings any time and adjust each category, or clear cookies in your browser to reset everything. Our banner reappears on your next visit after a full reset.
Do cookies share my personal details with advertisers?
Marketing cookies carry an anonymous identifier used for ad frequency and measurement, not your name, email or transaction history. Decline marketing cookies in the banner and no such identifier is created.
How do I delete cookies that are already on my device?
Your browser's privacy settings let you clear all cookies and site data in a few clicks. This removes every category at once, including preferences, so you will re-choose your language and currency next visit.
