Cookies Policy
Last updated: 2026.
This page explains how PokiePay AU uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels). It is part of, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Some cookies are set by us directly (“first-party cookies”) and some by third-party services we use (“third-party cookies”).
Similar technologies — including HTML5 local storage, pixels and tags — perform comparable functions. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of them.
Categories we use
PokiePay AU groups cookies into four categories, in line with common industry practice and the guidance of Australian and European regulators:
1. Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as security, accessibility and network management. They cannot be turned off in our systems and are typically set only in response to actions you take (for example, filling in forms or setting privacy preferences). No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.
Typical examples: session identifiers, load-balancer routing, consent state.
2. Functional
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your language, region or preferred display settings. If you do not allow these cookies, some parts of the site may not work as expected.
Typical examples: language preference, layout preference, remembered filter state.
3. Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with PokiePay AU — which pages are visited most, where errors occur, and how visitors move around the site. This data is collected in aggregated form and helps us improve the site. All analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
Typical examples: audience measurement identifier, session duration, page-view counter.
4. Marketing
Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising and, where applicable, to show relevant content across the web. These cookies are only set with your consent and can be withdrawn at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.
Typical examples: conversion tracking pixel, ad-frequency limiting, remarketing tag.
Typical retention
The lifetime of a cookie depends on its type:
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period — typically between 1 day and 24 months — or until you delete them.
- Local storage entries persist until they are cleared by the site or by you through your browser.
Managing your consent
The cookie banner shown on your first visit lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or configure your choice by category. You can change your consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of the website. You can also disable or delete cookies directly in your browser: every major browser provides controls in its privacy or security settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
Useful browser help pages: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera — each vendor publishes step-by-step instructions on managing cookies.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on PokiePay AU are set by third-party services we use (for example analytics or security providers). Those third parties process the data under their own privacy policies, which we recommend you review. Where these third parties are located outside Australia, we take reasonable steps to ensure adequate protection of personal information, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry consensus on how websites should interpret DNT, so PokiePay AU does not treat DNT alone as a consent choice. You can, however, always reject non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or the settings link in the footer.
Changes to this cookies policy
Our cookie usage may evolve over time — for example, when we add or remove a third-party tool. We update this page whenever a material change occurs, and mark the current version by the “Last updated” date above.
