Our Cookie Policy at Wild Casino
This page sets out, in plain language, every cookie and similar tracker we place on wildcasino-pokies.com, why it is there, how long it stays, and what you can switch off. We launched in 2017 and have kept this policy current ever since; it was last reviewed in 2026.
What Cookies Actually Do
A small file with a narrow job
A cookie is a small text file that your browser saves when you visit our site. When you come back, your browser hands that file to our server so we can recognise you. That recognition is what keeps you logged in, remembers your currency as AUD, and stops you re-entering your details on every page.
There is nothing mysterious in the file itself. It holds a random identifier, a setting such as your language choice, or an anonymous count of pages viewed. It cannot read your hard drive, run programs, or access other sites you visit. Similar technologies we use, such as local storage for your game settings and pixels for measuring our ads, are covered by this policy too.
The Four Cookie Groups We Set
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep the site working, and the site cannot function without them. Session cookies hold your login state between page loads so you are not signed out mid-spin. Authentication cookies keep your account secure once you log in. Security cookies flag suspicious login attempts, support our KYC process before your first withdrawal, and help block bonus abuse. We never ask for consent to switch these off, because refusing them breaks the site.
| Cookie group | Example names | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | wcsid, wc_auth, wc_csrf | Login sessions, fraud checks, secure payments | Session or up to 30 days |
| Functional | wc_lang, wc_cur, wc_pref | Remembers language, currency, game preferences | Up to 90 days |
| Analytics | wc_ua, wc_pv | Aggregated stats on page and game views | Up to 90 days |
| Marketing | wc_ads, wc_rt | Measures our promos and limits ad frequency | Up to 365 days |
Marketing
Marketing cookies limit how often you see our promotions, measure which of our bonus campaigns bring players in, and, if you clicked one of our ads, help us show you follow-up creative such as our 630% welcome package worth up to A$6,000 with 300 free spins. If you refuse these, you will still see ads, just less relevant ones, and our promos page stays fully available to you.
Cookies From Third Parties
Who else sets cookies here
Some cookies on our pages are set by providers we work with, not by us. We allow three narrow categories: analytics providers who measure traffic for us, advertising networks that serve and measure our own campaigns, and payment providers such as the e-wallet and crypto processors behind our cashier. Each third party gets only the data it needs for its job.
We contractually require these providers to use the data solely for the service they provide us. We do not allow third parties to build their own advertising profiles of you through our site beyond what our marketing partners need to run our retargeting. When you reject non-essential cookies in our banner, that rejection covers third-party marketing and analytics cookies as well as our own.
- Analytics providers: aggregate traffic measurement only
- Advertising networks: frequency capping and measuring our own promo campaigns
- Payment and wallet providers: fraud screening and transaction verification during deposits and withdrawals
How You Control Cookies
What blocking costs you
Block strictly necessary cookies and you cannot stay logged in, deposit, or withdraw. Block functional cookies and your language, currency, and game preferences reset each visit. Block analytics or marketing cookies and nothing on the site breaks; you just stop appearing in our statistics and our ads stop being tailored to you. If cookies are disabled during signup or play, some pages may ask you to reload or re-enter details.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, or clear individual cookies under Site settings
- 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
How Long We Keep Each Cookie
Session versus persistent
Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser, and that covers most of our strictly necessary set. Persistent cookies carry an expiry date set at the time they are placed. Our table in the cookie groups section shows the typical life of each group: up to 30 days for security, up to 90 days for functional and analytics, and up to 365 days for marketing. When a persistent cookie expires, your browser deletes it automatically.
We do not extend expiry dates to keep cookies alive longer than stated. If you log out of your account, we clear the related authentication cookies immediately rather than waiting for them to expire. You can also delete cookies yourself at any time through your browser, and deleting them resets every preference stored in them.
Changes We Will Tell You About
Notification and your choices
When we add a new cookie category, bring in a new type of third-party tracker, or change how long a cookie lasts, we update this page and bump the review date at the top. For material changes we also show the consent banner again on your next visit, so you get a fresh choice before the new cookies are placed. Nothing non-essential is ever set before you have accepted it.
Questions about anything on this page go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], which is answered around the clock, or through live chat, staffed 24/7. We answer cookie questions like any other account question: directly and with specifics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need cookies to play at Wild Casino?
Strictly necessary cookies only. They keep you logged in, secure your deposits, and run the cashier. You can reject all other categories and the site plays normally.
Where do I change my cookie choices after dismissing the banner?
Open the Cookie preferences link in the footer of any page. It reopens the banner with the same accept and essential-only options, and your new choice takes effect on the next page load.
Can I delete cookies without breaking my account?
Yes. Deleting cookies logs you out and clears preferences such as language and currency, but your account, balance, and bonus progress are stored on our servers, not in your browser, so nothing is lost.
Do you sell the data from analytics cookies?
No. Analytics data is aggregated and used only to improve our own site. We do not sell it, and third-party providers are contractually restricted to the service they run for us.
How long do marketing cookies stay on my device?
Up to 365 days, and they expire automatically after that. Rejecting them in the banner or deleting them in your browser removes them immediately.
