Cookie Policy for Oz Jackpot Tales
This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our Australian lottery platform to enhance your gaming experience while complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian privacy principles.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when visiting our site. At Oz Jackpot Tales, we use both session cookies (expiring when you close browser) and persistent cookies (remaining until expiry). These help recognize your preferences across our Australian lottery platform.
2. Essential Cookies
These critical cookies enable core functionality like secure login and transaction processing. Without them, our lottery services cannot operate properly. They're exempt from consent under Australian law but we limit them to only what's necessary for platform security and basic operations.
3. Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how Australians interact with our lottery platform. They help us improve navigation and ticket purchasing flows. All data is anonymized and processed within Australia to comply with local data sovereignty requirements.
4. Marketing Cookies
These remember your preferences to show relevant lottery promotions. While disabled by default, enabling helps support responsible gambling messages tailored to Australian players. You'll always have control through our preference center.
5. Preference Cookies
These store your choices like location (state/territory) and currency (AUD). They personalize your Oz Jackpot Tales experience by remembering settings across visits. All preference data is encrypted and stored exclusively in Australian data centers.
6. Security Measures
All our cookies implement HTTPS security and SameSite attributes. We conduct quarterly audits to ensure compliance with Australian cybersecurity standards. Strict access controls prevent unauthorized use of cookie-collected data.
7. Retention Periods
Session cookies expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after 13 months per Australian guidelines. You can manually clear cookies anytime through your browser settings while maintaining account security.
8. Managing Preferences
Our cookie banner lets Australians customize settings before browsing. You can update choices later via the 'Privacy' section in your account. Note that disabling certain cookies may limit some lottery platform features available in your region.
9. Regulatory Compliance
Oz Jackpot Tales adheres to Australian Privacy Principles and the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. Our cookie practices are regularly reviewed by independent Australian auditors. For concerns, contact our Privacy Officer at support@ozjackpottales.com.
