What Exactly Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a tiny text file stored in your browser or on your device after you visit a website. Think of it like a notepad the site leaves with your browser — one it can read the next time you return. Cookies don't run programmes or access files on your computer. They simply hold small bits of information, like whether you've visited before or what display settings you chose last time.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies — these exist only while your browser is open and disappear once you close it
- Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a set period, even after you close the browser
- First-party cookies — set directly by richpalms-casinoau.com
- Third-party cookies — set by external services we use, such as analytics tools
Cookies We Use and Why
Not all cookies do the same job. Below is a breakdown of the different types we rely on and what each one actually does.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Keep core site functions working — without these, basic navigation breaks down | Session |
| Preference cookies | Remember your language choice, display settings, and other personalised options | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics cookies | Tell us which pages get visited most, where users drop off, and how long visits last | Up to 24 months |
| Performance cookies | Identify slow-loading elements and technical glitches so we can fix them | Session or persistent |
| Marketing cookies | Used to show relevant content and measure how well promotions perform | Up to 90 days |
Essential Cookies — No Choice Here
Some cookies are simply non-negotiable. If you're signed into your account, a cookie is what tells the site you're still you as you move between pages. Without that, you'd be logged out every time you clicked a link. These essential cookies don't track anything personal — they just make the experience functional. You cannot opt out of these and continue using the site normally.
Cookies That Remember Your Preferences
If you've ever changed a setting on richpalms-casinoau.com — your preferred language, for instance — and found it was still applied when you came back days later, that's a preference cookie at work. These are entirely about making your experience more comfortable. They don't report your activity anywhere.
Analytics and How We Use That Data
We use analytics cookies to understand how the site performs in real use. This includes things like which sections attract the most visitors, how people move through the site, and whether certain pages cause confusion or drop-off. The data is aggregated — we're looking at patterns, not individual users. Tools like Google Analytics may be involved here, and those operate under their own terms.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features on our site are powered by external services. These third parties may set their own cookies when their content loads on our pages. We don't have direct control over those cookies — for specifics, you'd need to check the privacy policies of those individual services. That said, we only work with third parties whose data practices we've reviewed.
How to Control or Delete Cookies
Your browser gives you full control over cookies. You can view what's stored, block new cookies from being set, or delete everything already saved. The steps vary slightly depending on which browser you use:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Manage and Delete Cookies
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how the site works. Features that depend on recognising your device — like staying logged in — won't function properly if you remove essential cookies.
Your Consent
When you first visit richpalms-casinoau.com, you'll see a notice about cookies. Continuing to browse the site after that point is taken as your agreement to our use of cookies as described here. You can revisit your choices at any time through your browser settings. We don't require you to accept non-essential cookies to access the site, though some personalised features won't be available without them.
Changes to This Policy
If we update how we use cookies — whether because we've added a new tool, changed a third-party provider, or revised our approach — this page will reflect those changes. We won't send a notification for every minor adjustment, so it's worth checking back occasionally if this matters to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use richpalms-casinoau.com without accepting cookies?
You can browse without accepting non-essential cookies, but certain features — particularly anything that requires your device to be recognised — won't work correctly. Essential cookies cannot be turned off without breaking core site functionality.
Do cookies store my personal information?
Not directly. Cookies hold small identifiers and settings — not your name, email, or anything like that. Any personal data we hold is stored securely on our servers, not inside cookies.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
It depends on the type. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period — anywhere from a few days to two years — as indicated in the table above.
Does Rich Palms Casino sell cookie data to third parties?
No. Data gathered through cookies is used to improve your experience on our site and to measure how the site performs. It isn't sold or traded.
What should I do if something seems off with cookies on the site?
