Effective date: 14 April 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how hobartcasino.net uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and interact with the website for Hobart. It is designed to help users understand what cookies are, why they are used, what choices are available, and how these technologies support the secure and reliable operation of the website.

For the purposes of this policy, “Hobart”, “Hobart Casino”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the website available at hobartcasino.net.

This policy has been prepared for users in Australia and should be read together with any applicable Privacy Policy and Terms of Use published on the website. Where cookies process information that may identify an individual, directly or indirectly, that information will be handled in accordance with applicable Australian privacy expectations, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, where applicable to the operation of the website and its services.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us by email at [email protected].

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or other device when you access a website. They allow a website to recognise your browser, remember certain information, and support functions such as page navigation, account security, preference retention, analytics, and advertising measurement.

Cookies may collect information automatically at the time of your visit. Depending on how the website is configured, this information can include:

• IP address
• browser type and version
• device type
• operating system
• language settings
• date and time of access
• pages viewed and navigation paths
• referring website or source
• session identifiers
• general location derived from IP data

Cookies do not usually give a website direct access to files stored on your device. However, they can distinguish one browser session from another and help us understand how the website is used.

In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, and software development kit tracking tools may be used for related purposes. For convenience, this policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless stated otherwise.

Why Hobart Uses Cookies

Hobart Casino uses cookies to support the core functionality, performance, integrity, and administration of the website. Cookies assist us to:

• ensure the website loads and operates properly
• maintain secure sessions and protect user accounts
• remember user settings and interface preferences
• understand how visitors use the website
• diagnose technical issues and improve performance
• measure the effectiveness of marketing activity
• support responsible and lawful operation of site services
• detect misuse, suspicious behaviour, or fraud-related risks

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Others help improve convenience and performance. Certain cookies may also be used by advertising or analytics partners to assess user engagement and campaign outcomes.

Technical Segmentation of Cookies

Due to the architecture of Hobart Casino, cookies used on hobartcasino.net are divided into three technical groups:

• Back-end cookies
• Front-end cookies
• Third-party cookies

This segmentation is intended to explain where a cookie originates and what layer of the platform it supports.

Back-end Cookies

Back-end cookies are generated by servers, databases, and security systems operating behind the visible website interface. These cookies generally support:

• secure log-in and session continuity
• traffic management and server balancing
• fraud prevention and abuse detection
• account protection mechanisms
• maintenance of secure areas of the platform
• internal service requests between systems

Without certain back-end cookies, core parts of the website may not function correctly.

Front-end Cookies

Front-end cookies are placed through the visible website interface and user interaction layer. These cookies generally support:

• storing display settings and language selections
• remembering consent preferences
• retaining form progress or user input for a session
• improving page load behaviour and interface responsiveness
• preserving session keys needed for smooth navigation

These cookies help create a more consistent and usable browsing experience.

Third-party Cookies

Third-party cookies are placed by external providers whose tools or services are integrated into hobartcasino.net. These may include analytics platforms, marketing tools, fraud monitoring services, content delivery providers, and embedded technology partners.

Third-party cookies may be used to:

• measure website traffic and engagement
• assess the performance of marketing campaigns
• monitor registrations or conversions attributed to campaigns
• detect invalid traffic or unusual behaviour
• deliver content more efficiently

Where third-party providers set cookies, their own privacy and cookie terms may also apply.

Types of Cookies We Use

Hobart Casino uses cookies in three main categories:

• Required cookies
• Functional cookies
• Advertising cookies

Each category is explained below.

Required Cookies

Required cookies are essential to the operation of hobartcasino.net. These cookies enable basic website functions and cannot be switched off through ordinary preference tools because the website may not operate properly without them.

Required cookies may be used for the following purposes:

• enabling page navigation
• authenticating users and maintaining log-in status
• protecting secure account areas
• verifying requests made through the website
• preventing malicious activity and automated abuse
• supporting load balancing and infrastructure stability
• remembering privacy or security settings needed for compliance
• ensuring transactions and service requests are processed correctly

These cookies are ordinarily set in response to actions performed by the user, such as:

• logging in
• submitting a form
• moving between secure pages
• setting privacy preferences
• requesting a service feature

If required cookies are blocked or deleted, some parts of Hobart Casino may become unavailable, unstable, or less secure.

Examples of Required Cookie Functions

Examples of required cookie functions may include:

• assigning a unique session identifier for secure browsing
• storing a token that confirms a request comes from a legitimate browser session
• managing traffic during peak usage periods
• remembering that a user has acknowledged a consent banner
• detecting repeated failed access attempts for security monitoring

Required cookies do not exist for promotional convenience. Their primary purpose is operational necessity, security, and lawful site administration.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help Hobart Casino improve usability and tailor the website experience to user preferences. These cookies are not always strictly essential to basic website operation, but they are important for making the platform more efficient and user-friendly.

Functional cookies may be used to:

• remember language preferences
• store region or display settings
• retain session keys used to maintain continuity during browsing
• remember user interface selections
• support analytics relating to website performance and navigation behaviour
• identify returning visitors in a non-directly identifying way
• improve response time and page flow based on interaction patterns

Where analytics tools are deployed through functional cookies, the information collected is generally aggregated or pseudonymised. This means the purpose is usually to understand trends and service quality rather than to identify an individual by name.

Examples of Functional Cookie Uses

Functional cookies may assist with:

• keeping a preferred site version active during a session
• remembering a previously selected language
• preserving settings for page layout or interface controls
• understanding whether certain pages are slow or difficult to use
• identifying where users stop during a process so technical issues can be improved

If these cookies are disabled, some convenience features may be lost, and the website may become less personalised or less efficient to use.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to support marketing measurement and promotional performance analysis. On Hobart Casino, these cookies may be deployed by us or by selected third-party partners.

Advertising cookies may be used to:

• track whether a user arrived from a campaign, referral, or advertisement
• measure the effectiveness of promotions and marketing channels
• record registrations, visits, or actions linked to campaign performance
• limit repeated display of the same advertisement
• create audience insights based on browsing behaviour across pages or sessions
• help distinguish genuine engagement from invalid traffic

As a general rule, these cookies are used for attribution and measurement purposes rather than to share a direct personal identity such as your name. However, depending on the provider and configuration, cookie identifiers may still be treated as personal information under Australian privacy principles where they can reasonably be linked to an individual.

Important Note About Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies may follow browsing activity across websites or digital services where the relevant third-party provider operates. Hobart Casino does not control every external provider’s processing practices. Users should review the privacy and cookie notices of those providers where relevant.

If advertising cookies are disabled, you may still see online advertising, but it may be less relevant and campaign reporting may be less accurate.

Third-Party Service Providers

Hobart Casino may work with third-party service providers to support analytics, website operations, security, marketing, content delivery, and campaign assessment. These service providers may place cookies or similar technologies on your device when you use hobartcasino.net.

Third-party partners may assist with:

• analytics and reporting
• traffic measurement
• campaign attribution
• conversion tracking, including registrations
• fraud monitoring and traffic validation
• technical performance and uptime support
• user experience analysis

These external partners may collect information such as:

• browser identifiers
• device information
• visit timestamps
• page interactions
• referral source data
• advertising engagement data
• approximate geolocation based on IP address

Hobart Casino expects third-party providers to process information in accordance with contractual obligations and applicable legal requirements. However, third-party cookies remain subject to the controls and policies of the relevant provider.

Legal Basis and Privacy Context in Australia

For users in Australia, cookie use should be understood in the broader context of privacy and fair information handling. While Australian law does not operate in exactly the same way as cookie consent regimes in some overseas jurisdictions, operators are still expected to be transparent about data handling practices, provide clear notice, and manage personal information responsibly where collected.

Where cookies or similar technologies collect data that can reasonably identify an individual, or where combined data can become personal information, Hobart Casino will manage that information consistently with applicable Australian privacy obligations, including principles relating to:

• open and transparent management of personal information
• collection by lawful and fair means
• data quality and relevance
• security safeguards
• access and correction, where applicable

For more information on Australian privacy obligations, users may refer to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Cookie Duration

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time depending on their purpose and configuration.

Session Cookies

Session cookies operate only while your browser session is active. They are typically deleted automatically when you close your browser. These are commonly used for:

• secure navigation
• form handling
• temporary preference storage
• session authentication

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period or until manually deleted. These may be used for:

• remembering preferences between visits
• recognising a returning browser
• analytics and performance reporting
• advertising attribution and campaign measurement

The exact lifespan of a cookie may vary depending on the provider, the technical design of the service, and whether the cookie is refreshed during subsequent visits.

How to Control and Manage Cookies

Users can control cookies through browser settings, device settings, and, where available, website consent tools. Most browsers allow you to:

• view cookies stored on your device
• block all cookies
• block only selected cookies
• delete existing cookies
• clear browsing data when closing the browser
• receive alerts before a cookie is placed

Please note that restricting cookies may affect the availability, security, and functionality of Hobart Casino. In particular:

• required cookies may be necessary for log-in and secure navigation
• functional cookies may be needed to retain settings and improve usability
• advertising cookies may affect campaign tracking and content relevance

Blocking all cookies does not necessarily mean all tracking stops, because some browser-based or device-based technologies may function differently. Users should review both browser and device privacy controls where relevant.

Users can usually manage cookie preferences through their browser help menus or support pages. More information is available from browser providers, including:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge
