Cookie Policy at National Casino
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we place on your device when you use nationalcasino-pokies.com, why we use them, and how you stay in control. We keep the wording plain and the specifics exact.
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device. Each one stores a tiny piece of information, such as a session identifier or your preferred language, and sends it back to us on your next visit. Without them, a site cannot remember that you logged in or that you dismissed a banner five minutes ago.
We also use technologies that behave the same way: local storage and pixels. For this policy, treat every mention of cookies as covering those too.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. They maintain your login session, protect forms against cross-site request forgery, and keep your balance visible while you play. You cannot deposit, withdraw or stay signed in without them, so we set them without asking and they cannot be switched off from the banner.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices: language, sound settings in games, and whether you have seen a promotion already. Example names include lang and ui_prefs. Remove them and the site still works, but you re-enter your preferences every visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies show us, in aggregate, which pages load slowly, where players drop off during registration and which games time out. We look at patterns, not individuals. A typical name is _ga, tied to a measurement ID rather than your account.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us measure our own campaigns and show National Casino offers to people who visited but did not sign up. If you block them, you will still see generic ads, just fewer retargeted ones. Names such as _fbp and ide belong here.
Cookie Types at a Glance
The table below compresses the four categories into one view, including how long each persists and where you opt out.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, login, security | Session to 365 days | Browser settings only |
| Functional | Language and game preferences | Up to 90 days | Banner or browser |
| Analytics | Aggregated site behaviour | Up to 365 days | Banner or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Up to 90 days | Banner or browser |
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on our pages do not come from us. We allow three categories of third party: analytics providers who measure traffic patterns, advertising networks who serve and measure our promotions, and payment providers whose cookies keep your transaction flow secure and prevent fraud during deposits and withdrawals.
We sign data-processing terms with every provider we allow, and we keep the list short. If a provider adds a new purpose beyond what we agreed, that cookie does not get a category here and we remove it. You can see the current provider names in your browser's cookie list for our domain at any time.
Managing Your Preferences
On our site
Our cookie banner appears on your first visit. You accept all categories, or open the settings and tick only what you want. Your choice is stored, and the settings link in the page footer reopens the same panel so you can change your mind whenever you like.
In your browser
Every major browser can block or delete cookies, and each one puts the control in a slightly different menu.
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings, Privacy, Manage Website Data; Safari already blocks most third-party cookies by default.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions.
What blocking means
Block the strictly necessary cookies and the site stops functioning: logins fail, deposits error out, games may refuse to load. Block analytics or marketing cookies and everything keeps working; you just see fewer personalised offers. Blocking functional cookies costs you convenience only.
How Long We Keep Them
Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser; they carry your active login and nothing else. Persistent cookies have fixed clocks. Functional cookies last up to 90 days, analytics identifiers up to 365 days, and marketing cookies up to 90 days, after which your browser deletes them automatically.
We refresh an analytics identifier only if you keep using the site. Stop visiting and the cookie expires on schedule; we do not extend lifetimes behind the scenes. Deleting cookies yourself clears every category immediately, including your saved login.
Changes to This Policy
When a new cookie category or provider appears, we update this page and bump the version note at the top. Material changes, such as a new marketing provider or a longer retention period, also trigger a fresh banner so you can reconfirm your choices. Questions about anything here go to our support team at [email protected], available 24/7.
Frequently asked questions
Can I play at National Casino with all cookies blocked?
Not fully. You can browse the public pages, but logging in, depositing and withdrawing require the strictly necessary cookies. Everything else is optional.
Where do I change my cookie choice later?
Use the cookie settings link in the footer. It reopens the same panel as the first-visit banner, and your new choice applies immediately.
Do cookies share my personal details with advertisers?
Marketing cookies support retargeting with a pseudonymous identifier. They do not carry your name, email or account balance.
How often do analytics identifiers renew?
Up to 365 days. If you stop visiting, the identifier simply expires and your browser deletes it.
