Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how yabbycasino-australia.net uses them, and what choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on subsequent visits, remember preferences, and collect information about how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, web beacons, and pixel tags. In this policy "cookies" covers all of these.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential cookies
Required for the site to function correctly. They cannot be disabled through cookie preferences but can be blocked in your browser settings (the site may not work properly if you do).
- Session identifier — keeps you logged in to any forms during a single browsing session. Retention: session only.
- Cookie consent state — remembers whether you've accepted or declined non-essential cookies. Retention: 12 months.
- Security tokens — protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Retention: session only.
2.2 Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content and performance. Data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
- Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) — measures unique visitors, sessions, and page interactions. Retention: up to 2 years.
- Server-side page-view counters — anonymous traffic measurement. Retention: 13 months.
2.3 Marketing and affiliate cookies
Help us measure the effectiveness of our affiliate partnerships and any campaigns that direct visitors to our site.

- Conversion tracking — confirms that a click on our site led to a registration at the operator. Retention: 90 days.
2.4 Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties such as Google Fonts (via the Montserrat font import), Google Analytics, and our affiliate networks. These providers have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.
