What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them
When you visit Fastpay Casino, small text files called cookies are placed on your device. These files allow our website to recognise your browser on return visits, keep track of your session preferences, and generally make the site work the way you expect it to. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install software without your knowledge.
We use cookies for a range of practical reasons: to keep you logged in while you play, to remember your language and display settings, to understand how players navigate the site, and to show you content and offers that are more likely to be relevant to you. Without certain cookies, core features of the Fastpay Casino platform would not function correctly.
Our Obligations Under Australian Law
Fastpay Casino operates with full awareness of the obligations that apply to online gambling services accessed by Australian residents. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) set out how personal information, including data collected through cookies, must be handled. Under APP 1, we are required to have a clear and accessible policy explaining how we manage personal information. Under APP 3, we may only collect information that is reasonably necessary for our functions. Under APP 6, we may not use or disclose that information for purposes beyond those you were told about at the time of collection.
Where cookies collect data that can identify you, directly or in combination with other information we hold, that data is treated as personal information and handled accordingly. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive information, such as health or financial details, beyond what is strictly necessary to process your transactions and verify your identity as required by the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth).
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Fastpay Casino website to operate. They handle things like session management, login authentication, and security checks. You cannot opt out of these cookies through our consent tool, because without them the site simply does not work. They do not store any information that could be used to identify you across other websites.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site, which pages are visited most, where players drop off during registration, and how long sessions typically last. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users. It helps us improve site performance, fix errors, and make the overall experience smoother. Tools such as Google Analytics may be used for this purpose, and data collected may be processed on servers outside Australia, though we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred currency display, notification settings, or whether you have acknowledged a particular on-site message. They make your experience more convenient by not requiring you to repeat the same selections every time you return.
Marketing and Targeting Cookies
With your consent, we may use cookies that allow us and our advertising partners to show you promotions that match your interests, both on this site and on third-party platforms. These cookies track browsing activity across websites and build a profile over time. You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time through the cookie preference centre accessible from the footer of every page.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features of the Fastpay Casino platform are provided by third parties, including game studios such as Evolution, Play’n GO, and Pragmatic Play, as well as payment processors and customer support tools. These providers may set their own cookies when their content is loaded on our pages. We do not control third-party cookies directly, and we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers for more detail.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookies are either session-based or persistent. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, after which they expire. The retention periods we use are:
- Session cookies: deleted at the end of each browser session
- Authentication cookies: up to 30 days for remembered login
- Analytics cookies: typically 13 months from the date of last activity
- Marketing cookies: up to 12 months, depending on the partner
- Functionality cookies: up to 12 months
You can delete any cookie from your device at any time through your browser settings, regardless of its intended lifespan.
Responsible Gambling and Cookie Use
In line with our responsible gambling commitments, some cookies are used specifically to support player protection features. These include cookies that track session duration warnings, deposit limit reminders, and self-exclusion status. Disabling these cookies may interfere with the operation of our responsible gambling tools, which we strongly advise against. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) governs the provision of online gambling services to Australian residents, and maintaining player protection functionality is a core part of our compliance with that legislation.
Your Choices and Cookie Controls
You have several ways to control how cookies are set and used when you visit Fastpay Casino.
Our Cookie Preference Centre
When you first visit the site, a consent banner gives you the option to accept all cookies or customise your preferences by category. You can return to this preference centre at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the site footer. Changes you make will take effect immediately, though some preferences may require a page reload to apply.
Browser-Level Controls
All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. Below are links to guidance for the most commonly used browsers:
Please note that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, not just ours. If you block strictly necessary cookies, you may be unable to log in or play games on the Fastpay Casino platform.
Opting Out of Analytics
If you would prefer that your visit data not be included in analytics reports, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents your activity from being shared with Google Analytics across any site that uses the service.
Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising
Australian residents who wish to limit interest-based advertising from participating networks can visit the Your Online Choices platform, which provides opt-out tools for a wide range of advertising services operating in Australia.
Cookies and Children
Fastpay Casino is an adults-only platform. Access is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect data from minors, and our cookie practices are designed solely for an adult audience. If you believe a person under 18 has accessed this site and submitted personal information, please contact us immediately.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Some of the cookie data we or our third-party partners collect may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that the recipient provides a comparable level of protection to that required under the Australian Privacy Principles. This may include contractual arrangements, the use of approved data transfer mechanisms, or working with partners who are certified under recognised privacy frameworks.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, in the cookies we use, or in how we process data. When we make material changes, we will display a notice on the Fastpay Casino website so that you are aware before continuing to use the service. Continued use of the site after a revision is posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
