How We Use Cookies
This page sets out every type of cookie we set on redwin-au.com, why we set it, how long it stays on your device, and what you can do about it. We keep the wording plain on purpose.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It carries a name, a value and an expiry date, and it lets the site recognise your browser the next time you land on it.
Our site cannot function as a logged-in casino without them. When you sign in, a cookie keeps your session open so you are not asked for your password on every page. When you pick a currency or a language, a cookie remembers that choice.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot install software, read files off your hard drive or infect your device with anything. They only send back the information they were given, and you can delete or block them at any time through your browser.
The Four Cookie Groups
Strictly necessary
These keep the casino running. Without them you cannot log in, place a bet or reach the cashier. We do not ask for your consent to set them, because the site would simply break without them. This group covers session identifiers, authentication tokens that verify you are the account holder, and security cookies that block fraudulent login attempts.
Functional
These remember choices you have made: your selected language, your odds or game display preferences, and whether you have already dismissed an information banner. They are convenient rather than essential, so you can refuse them in the consent banner without losing access to your account.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site: which pages get the most traffic, where players drop off during registration, and how long a typical session lasts. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use it to fix broken pages and improve load times.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show you relevant promotions on other websites after you leave ours. If you played our Big Bass Bonanza 1000 session last week, we might show you a free spins offer rather than a generic banner. You can refuse this entire category with one click and nothing else about the site changes.
| Cookie type | Example names | Purpose | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | RW_SESSION, RW_AUTH, RW_CSRF | Login, security, fraud prevention | No, required for the site to work |
| Functional | RW_LANG, RW_PREFS | Remembers language and display choices | Yes, via the consent banner |
| Analytics | _ga, _gid | Aggregated traffic and behaviour data | Yes, via the banner or browser settings |
| Marketing | rw_ads, _fbp | Retargeting and promo delivery | Yes, via the banner or ad preferences |
Who Else Sets Cookies
Some cookies on our pages are not set by us. When you load a game from one of our providers, that provider may set its own cookie to run the game and record your session balance. When you open the cashier, your payment provider may set a cookie as part of its own fraud checks.
We allow three categories of third-party cookies: analytics providers that measure our traffic, the game and payment providers listed in our terms, and advertising networks that deliver our promotional campaigns. Each third party processes data under its own privacy policy, which we link in the consent banner. We do not permit third parties to use cookies on our site for any purpose we have not disclosed here.
Take Control of Cookies
Our consent banner
The first time you visit redwin-au.com, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the site footer. Rejecting analytics and marketing cookies does not restrict your access to any game, bonus or withdrawal.
Browser settings
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies yourself. Here is where the setting lives in the four most common ones:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies (or Cookies and other site data on older versions).
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or cross-site tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
What happens if you block everything
Blocking strictly necessary cookies has real consequences: you will be logged out constantly, deposits may fail at the verification step, and some games will refuse to load. Blocking only functional, analytics or marketing cookies costs you nothing except remembered preferences and tailored promotions.
How Long We Keep Them
Every cookie we set has a defined lifespan. Session cookies are wiped the moment you close your browser; the rest persist for a fixed period ranging from 30 days to a year.
We do not extend cookie lifespans beyond what is listed here, and we do not set cookies that never expire. Clearing your browser data removes every persistent cookie on the spot, regardless of its original duration.
| Category | Duration | Removed when |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary (session) | Until you close your browser | Browser closes |
| Strictly necessary (security) | 30 days | Expires or you clear data |
| Functional | 90 days | Expires or you clear data |
| Analytics | Up to 365 days | Expires or you clear data |
| Marketing | Up to 180 days | Expires or you clear data |
When We Update This Policy
If we add a new cookie category, bring in a new third-party provider or change a retention period, we will update this page and post a notice on the site before the change takes effect. For material changes we also send an email to your registered address.
The version you are reading now was last reviewed in 2026. We recommend checking back occasionally, and you can always contact our support team at [email protected], 24 hours a day, if anything here is unclear.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept all cookies to play at Redwin Casino?
No. You only need to accept strictly necessary cookies. Functional, analytics and marketing cookies are optional, and refusing them does not block any game, bonus or withdrawal.
Will rejecting cookies affect my welcome bonus?
No. Your 100% bonus up to 1,000 AUD plus 100 free spins with the code REDWIN100 is tied to your account, not to your cookie settings.
How do I delete cookies that are already on my device?
Use your browser's clear browsing data function, selecting Cookies and site data. This removes every cookie from our site immediately, including your saved preferences.
Why do I see the consent banner again after clearing cookies?
Your previous choice was stored in a cookie. Deleting it removes that record, so we have to ask again the next time you visit, as required by law.
