How We Use Cookies
This page sets out, in plain language, how Mrbet Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on mrbet-pokies.com, what each type does, and how you stay in control of your choices at any time.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It carries a bit of data back to us on your next visit so the site remembers something useful, like the fact you already logged in or that you prefer the interface in English. Cookies are not programs and cannot install anything or read files off your computer.
We also use technologies that behave the same way, such as local storage and pixels. On this page we call all of them cookies. Nothing here changes your rights under the Australian Privacy Principles; our full Privacy Policy covers how we handle personal information more broadly.
The Four Cookie Types We Use
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep mrbet-pokies.com working and secure. Without them you could not log in, keep a session open while you play, or stay protected against attacks such as session hijacking. They never track your behaviour for marketing and they cannot be switched off in your browser without breaking core functions.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have already made, such as your language, your preferred currency display, or whether you dismissed a banner. They save you resetting the same settings every visit. We treat these as optional and you can reject them through our consent banner.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site: which pages load slowly, where sessions drop off, which pokies get the most play. We use the aggregated results to fix problems and improve layout. The data is not used to build an advertising profile of you personally.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support retargeting, so our promotions reach people who have shown interest in Mrbet Casino instead of random browsers. If you opt out, you will still see ads, just less relevant ones, and you will still get every bonus you are entitled to on the site itself.
| Category | Example names | Purpose | Can you opt out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | sid, auth_token, csrf_id | Login, session, security | No, site breaks without them |
| Functional | lang_pref, currency_pref, ui_state | Remember your settings | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Analytics | _ga, _gid, _session_rec | Aggregated usage statistics | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | _fbp, ads_uid, rt_pixel | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Yes, via banner or browser |
Third Parties on This Site
Some cookies on our pages are set by other companies rather than by us. We allow three categories of third-party cookies and nothing beyond them: analytics providers that measure aggregate traffic, advertising networks that run our retargeting campaigns, and payment providers whose cookies appear only on their own payment pages when you deposit or withdraw.
These third parties process data under their own privacy policies. We do not hand them your account balance, your game history, or your identity documents. If a third-party cookie category is switched off, the related function either falls back to a first-party alternative or simply stops, and the site keeps working.
Setting Your Own Preferences
Our consent banner
The first time you open mrbet-pokies.com you see a cookie banner with two clear options: accept all, or choose categories individually. You can accept the strictly necessary set and decline everything else, and the site will still work. Your choice is stored, and the link to change it sits in the footer of every page, so you can revisit the settings whenever you like.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies directly, which overrides our banner. Here is where the setting lives in the four browsers most of our players use.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, then block or clear as you prefer.
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or limit cross-site tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then choose Standard, Strict, or Custom cookie rules.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then block or allow per site.
What happens if you block
Blocking strictly necessary cookies is the one case that causes real problems: you will be logged out mid-session, deposit forms may fail, and security checks can block your access. Blocking functional cookies means re-choosing language and currency each visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay, bonuses, or withdrawals at all.
How Long Each Cookie Lasts
Cookie lifetimes differ sharply by category. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies carry an expiry date, and we keep the longest ones to a single year. The table below is the complete picture for our site, and clearing your browser data removes all of them ahead of schedule.
| Cookie type | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Session and auth | Session only | Deleted when you close the browser |
| Security tokens | Session only | Rotated on each login |
| Language and preferences | 90 days | Refreshed whenever you revisit |
| Analytics identifiers | 30 to 90 days | _gid 30 days, others up to 90 |
| Marketing and retargeting | Up to 365 days | Shortest life the ad network allows |
Changes to This Policy
When we add a cookie category, extend a retention period, or bring in a new third party, we update this page and change the date at the top. For material changes we also show the consent banner again, so nothing new lands on your device without a fresh choice from you. If our support team can help with a cookie question, reach them on live chat any hour of the day or at [email protected].
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cookies affect my bonuses or withdrawals?
No. Your welcome bonus, cashback, and withdrawals depend on your account, not your cookie settings. Blocking marketing cookies only changes which ads you see off-site.
Can I withdraw consent after accepting everything?
Yes. Open the cookie settings link in the footer and untick the categories you no longer want, or clear cookies in your browser. Your account, balance, and history are untouched.
Do you sell my cookie data?
No. We use analytics and marketing cookies for our own site improvement and campaigns, and we do not sell data collected through them.
Why do I see the banner again on a new device?
Consent is stored per device and browser, not on your account. Each new device or browser asks once, then remembers your choice.
