Cookie & Browser Storage Policy

Cookies and localStorage are standard browser technologies used by many websites to remember certain choices and technical details from one visit to the next.

Neither cookies nor localStorage on Aussie Bucks are used to handle real-money payments, as our platform does not support deposits, withdrawals, or any cash-based activity. Stored data relates only to virtual coins, preferences, and safety features that exist purely for entertainment.

Aussie Bucks uses only essential cookies or comparable browser storage to make sure key features work as expected. Without these technologies, important parts of the site may not function correctly or would need to be repeated every time you visit.

Examples of essential uses include:

• Age confirmation: remembering that you have confirmed you are 18+ so the age gate does not reappear on every page view.
• Cookie preference choice: storing whether you accepted all cookies or declined non-essential options, so we can respect that selection.
• Virtual coin balance: keeping track of your virtual bucks or coin balance for our demo-style gameplay, including daily virtual top-ups stored in your browser only.
• Session stability: ensuring technical features such as basic security, load performance, and navigation continuity work as intended.

In addition to strictly essential storage, Aussie Bucks may use preference or functionality cookies and localStorage entries to remember how you like to use the site. This helps reduce the need for you to reconfigure settings each time you return.

Preference and functionality storage can be used to remember:

• Your chosen display or interface options, such as light interaction preferences where available.
• Whether you have already seen certain informational banners or responsible gaming messages.
• That you have closed in-site tips or onboarding cards, so they do not need to reappear on every visit.
• Language or regional settings related to Australian audiences, where applicable.

These settings do not relate to real-money activity or external gambling services, and they do not create marketing profiles. They simply help the site remember how you prefer to interact with our virtual-only games and content.

Aussie Bucks is designed as a free, social entertainment experience that uses virtual bucks only. Because our platform does not offer real-money gambling, affiliate casino links, or financial opportunities, we do not rely on advertising trackers or marketing pixels.

Specifically, this means:

• We do not use third-party tracking cookies to monitor your activity across other websites.
• We do not serve targeted ads or retargeting campaigns based on your behaviour on Aussie Bucks.
• We do not place affiliate tracking tags intended to direct you to external gambling or betting products.

Our goal is to keep your experience on aussiebucks.com focused on safe, virtual-only entertainment for adults, without intrusive marketing or cross-site profiling.

When used carefully, cookies and localStorage provide practical benefits that improve your time on Aussie Bucks.

These benefits include:

• Reliable age gating: confirming that our audience is 18+ and remembering that confirmation so you are not repeatedly interrupted.
• Respecting your choices: applying your cookie preferences, responsible gaming settings, and content acknowledgements every time you visit.
• Seamless virtual balance continuity: allowing your virtual bucks balance and non-monetary progress to be saved between sessions in your browser, without user accounts or payments.
• Consistent safety messages: delivering responsible entertainment notices in a way that is meaningful but not repetitive once you have interacted with them.
• Faster, smoother experience: remembering certain basic technical settings so that pages load and respond more efficiently on your device.

All of this is done without converting your virtual activity into real-world value and without exposing you to advertising trackers or third-party gambling promotions.

You can manage how Aussie Bucks uses cookies and localStorage in a couple of simple ways:

• Cookie banner controls: When you first visit aussiebucks.com, you will see a cookie banner offering options such as “Accept All” or “Decline Non-Essential”. Your choice is saved using essential storage so that we can honour your selection.
• Updating your choice: If you wish to change your decision later, you can revisit the cookie controls where available on the site or reset your preferences by clearing cookies and site data in your browser.
• Browser settings: Most modern browsers allow you to block, limit, or clear cookies and site data on a per-site basis. Doing this can affect how some Aussie Bucks features work, especially those related to age confirmation and your saved virtual balance.

Essential cookies and storage items needed for security or core functionality may still be required for the site to operate correctly. We do not use them for marketing or real-money activities.

If you would like to erase stored data related to Aussie Bucks, including age confirmation, cookie choices, and your virtual coin balance, you can clear cookies and site data in your browser. This process differs slightly between browsers, but generally follows similar steps:

1. Open your browser’s Settings or Preferences menu.
2. Find the section for Privacy & Security or Cookies and Site Data.
3. Look for options such as Clear browsing data, Clear cookies, or Manage site data.
4. Select aussiebucks.com specifically if you want to remove data only for this site, or choose a broader clear-all option if you prefer.
5. Confirm the deletion of cookies, cached files, and local site data.

Once cleared, Aussie Bucks will behave as though you are visiting for the first time. This means:

• You will be asked again to confirm that you are 18+ before accessing the platform.
• The cookie banner will reappear and ask for your preferences.
• Any locally stored virtual coin balances and progress will reset, as they are stored only in your browser and have no monetary value.

If you are unsure how to complete this process in your specific browser or device, you can refer to that browser’s help documentation or contact us through the Help Center for guidance.
