Cookies Policy | DraftKings Casino

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies can make a website work properly, improve its performance, remember preferences and help provide information about how the website is used.

Some cookies are placed by DraftKings Casino, while others may be placed by service providers that support website functions. Similar technologies may also be used for related purposes. These technologies can include pixels, tags, local storage and software development tools. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and similar technologies together as cookies.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until they are deleted. The period for which a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and how it has been configured.

Why cookies are used

To help the website operate, load pages and provide requested functions.
To remember choices such as language, display preferences or other settings.
To help protect accounts, transactions and website systems from misuse.
To understand how visitors use the website and identify areas that may need improvement.
To support relevant communications, advertising or promotional measurement where permitted.
To help maintain a safer and more responsible online gambling environment.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for essential website functions. They may support account access, security controls, navigation, session management, fraud prevention and other features that you request. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not operate correctly. Because they are necessary for the operation or security of the website, they may not be removable through every preference tool.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember information that makes your experience more convenient. For example, they may remember selected settings or help provide consistent features during a visit. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and certain features may be less convenient to use.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may provide information such as which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the website, whether pages work as expected and where improvements may be useful. The information is generally used to assess website performance and does not necessarily identify you directly. Where appropriate, information may be combined or otherwise handled in a way designed to reduce direct identification.

Advertising and measurement cookies

Advertising or measurement cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of communications and campaigns, limit repeated messages or show content that may be more relevant to your interests. These cookies may be placed by DraftKings Casino or by third-party providers acting on our behalf. They are used only where permitted by applicable requirements and your selected preferences.

Security, compliance and responsible gambling cookies

Certain cookies and similar technologies may assist with security, account protection, identity or access controls, fraud detection, compliance processes and the safe operation of gambling services. They may also support features intended to help players manage their activity, access responsible gambling information or apply settings associated with account protection. These technologies may be necessary even where optional cookies have been declined.

Your choices and cookie controls

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This tool may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or select categories according to your preferences. Your choices may be saved in a cookie or similar technology so that the website can remember them. If you delete that preference record, you may be asked to make your selection again.

You can also manage cookies through the settings in your web browser or device. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. Browser settings differ, so you should refer to the help information provided by your browser or device manufacturer for instructions. You may be able to set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed or to refuse certain cookies automatically.

Open the settings or preferences menu in your browser.
Find the privacy, security or cookie controls.
Choose whether to allow, block or delete cookies.
Review the settings for individual websites where that option is available.
Return to the website and update the cookie preference tool if it is available.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how the website works. For example, you may need to enter information again, some preferences may not be remembered, and account or interactive features may not operate as intended. Disabling cookies does not necessarily remove information that has already been collected or stored in connection with your account or previous visits.

You may also be able to control certain advertising or analytics technologies through tools provided by your browser, device or the relevant service provider. These controls may apply only to a particular browser or device. If you use more than one device or browser, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one.

Your cookie choices do not replace other controls that may be available within your account. Account settings, marketing preferences, privacy requests and responsible gambling tools may be managed separately. Where a feature is required for security, legal, regulatory or operational reasons, it may continue to function even if optional cookies are disabled.

Third-party services, privacy and policy updates

We may use third-party service providers to support website hosting, security, analytics, communications, payment-related processes, customer support, advertising measurement or other website functions. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own terms and privacy information. Their use of information may be subject to policies that are separate from this Cookies Policy.

Third-party cookies may allow a provider to recognise your browser or device across different websites or services. The availability and operation of these cookies can change if a provider updates its technology, terms or services. DraftKings Casino does not control every cookie placed by a third party, but we may review the services used on the website and apply controls where appropriate.

Information collected through cookies may be personal information, or may be capable of being combined with other information to identify or relate to you. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored and managed. It also provides information about rights and choices that may apply to you under Australian privacy requirements and other applicable laws.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the technologies we use, legal or regulatory requirements, or the way cookies are managed. When we make a change, we may update the date or version shown on the website and may provide a further notice where appropriate. You should review this page periodically to remain informed about our use of cookies.

When making an enquiry, avoid including unnecessary sensitive information. We may need to confirm your identity before responding to a request involving personal information or account details.

You can change your choices at any time through the available preference tool or your browser settings, subject to the limitations described above.
