Cookies Policy
Stellar Casino operates under a gaming licence and employs SSL encryption technology to protect player data and transactions, with all RNG games externally certified by independent auditors for fairness.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies can help a website function correctly, improve security, remember preferences and provide information about how the website is used.
Some cookies are placed directly by Stellar Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website operations, analytics, security, communications or other functions. These third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and the instructions or agreements that apply to their services.
A cookie may be a session cookie or a persistent cookie. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until they are deleted. The length of time a cookie remains active can vary depending on its purpose, your browser settings and the provider that placed it.
Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information connected with a cookie may sometimes be linked with account, device, browser or usage information. Where this occurs, the information may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy laws and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Similar technologies
We may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies. These can include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits and device or browser identifiers. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and these related technologies collectively as cookies.
2. Why we use cookies
The cookies used on the website may support several different purposes. The specific cookies available may change as the website, its features and the services supporting it develop. We aim to use cookies for legitimate and transparent purposes, and to provide information or choices where required.
- Strictly necessary operation: These cookies help the website load, navigate and provide features you request. They may support account access, session management, security controls, fraud prevention and the delivery of essential pages or functions.
- Security and compliance: These cookies can help detect unusual activity, protect accounts and transactions, reduce misuse, maintain the integrity of the website and support responsible operation of gambling services.
- Preferences: These cookies may remember choices such as language, display settings, region, interface preferences or other selections, so you do not need to provide them again during each visit.
- Performance and analytics: These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed, how features perform and whether users encounter errors. This information can help us improve content, navigation, reliability and accessibility.
- Functionality: These cookies may support optional features and services that make the website more convenient or personalised. If you decline them, some optional features may be unavailable or may not work as intended.
- Communications and marketing: Where permitted and where applicable consent or another lawful basis is required, cookies may help measure the effectiveness of communications, limit repeated messages, or show information that is more relevant to your interests. We do not use this policy to promise that any particular marketing technology will always be used.
- Responsible gambling support: Certain technologies may help us operate account controls, display relevant notices or support features connected with safer gambling. These technologies do not replace your own responsibility to use available controls and seek help when needed.
We may use aggregated or de-identified information from cookies to understand general website activity. Information that has been combined or de-identified may be used for reporting, planning, security and service improvement, provided it cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual in that form.
3. Cookie choices and browser controls
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Depending on the cookies involved, this tool may allow you to accept, reject or adjust optional categories. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that the preference tool does not ask you repeatedly.
Strictly necessary cookies may not be capable of being disabled through the preference tool because they are needed to provide a service you request, maintain security or enable essential website functions. If you block all cookies, some parts of the website may not operate, and you may be unable to access account or gambling features properly.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block cookies from specific websites or block all cookies. Browser controls differ between providers and devices, so you should check the help or privacy settings for the browser you use.
- Open the privacy, security or site settings in your browser.
- Review the available cookie, tracking or storage controls.
- Choose whether to allow, block or delete cookies, either generally or for particular websites.
- Close and reopen your browser if required, then revisit the website to confirm your settings.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and may sign you out of websites. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one. Some technologies may require separate controls and may not be removed by deleting ordinary browser cookies.
If you withdraw consent or block optional cookies, we will respect that choice where the relevant control is available. This does not affect processing that is necessary for the operation, security or legal administration of the website, or processing based on another lawful basis where applicable.
4. Third-party services, privacy and updates
We may use carefully selected third-party providers to help host, secure, analyse, maintain or improve the website. Those providers may place or access cookies or similar technologies when delivering services to us. They may receive information such as a device identifier, browser type, approximate location, pages visited, interaction data, technical information and cookie preference signals.
Third-party websites, applications, advertisements or content linked from the website may have their own cookies and privacy practices. This Cookies Policy does not control those third parties. Before interacting with an external service or providing information to it, you should review its relevant terms and privacy information.
Cookie information may be processed in Australia or in other countries where Stellar Casino or its service providers operate. Where information is handled outside Australia, we take steps required by applicable privacy obligations and seek to apply appropriate safeguards. The Privacy Policy contains further general information about the handling, storage, disclosure and protection of personal information.
Your privacy rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights relating to personal information connected with cookies. These may include requesting access to information held about you, asking for inaccurate information to be corrected, withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent, or raising a privacy concern. Some requests may be subject to identity checks, legal exceptions or technical limitations.
If you have a question about this policy or wish to raise a privacy concern, please use the available contact or support options on the Stellar Casino website. Do not include sensitive account, payment or identity information unless it is specifically requested through a secure channel.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, services, legal obligations or privacy practices change. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate. We encourage you to review the policy periodically. Continued use of the website after an update may indicate that you have read the revised information, while any consent requirement will continue to be handled through the relevant preference controls.
This policy is intended to provide clear general information about cookies used by Stellar Casino. It does not change any rights or obligations that apply under Australian privacy, consumer protection, online gambling or other relevant laws. If there is a conflict between this policy and a mandatory legal requirement, the legal requirement will apply.
