How We Use Cookies
This page spells out every cookie that justbet-au.com sets, why we set it, how long it stays on your device and what happens if you say no. Since we launched in 2023, we have kept this list short and specific, because a cookie policy you cannot read is a cookie policy that helps nobody.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. When you come back, your browser hands that file over so the site remembers something useful: that you are logged in, that you picked English as your language, or that you already closed our cookie banner.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot install software, read your files or snoop on other sites you visit. Each cookie belongs to one domain, and only that domain can read it. We also use a few browser storage items called local storage and session storage, which do the same job in a slightly different way, and this policy covers those too.
When you open justbet-au.com, our server, our payment processors and our analytics tools may each set their own cookies. We list every category below so you know exactly who is writing to your device and why.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. Without them you cannot log in, stay logged in between pages, or complete a deposit. The session cookie holds your authentication token after you sign in, a CSRF cookie protects your account and payment forms from cross-site request attacks, and a load-balancing cookie pins your session to one server so your game history does not vanish mid-session. We do not ask for consent before setting these, because the site literally cannot operate without them, and no law requires us to.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have already made. One stores your interface language, since we run the site in English, German, French and Portuguese. Another keeps the table limits or layout you last used in the live casino, and one remembers whether you dismissed a message so we stop showing it. Blocking these will not break anything, but you will re-pick your settings every visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, how the site performs: which pages load slowly, where players drop off during registration, and which of our 3,000-plus games get the most traffic. The data is aggregated and we do not use it to build individual profiles for pricing or odds. This is the first category where we ask for your consent through the banner, and you can decline it without losing any functionality.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show Justbet Casino ads to people who have visited us but not yet registered, and avoid showing you the same welcome bonus banner fifty times. They also measure whether an ad campaign actually brought a player in. These are the most intrusive category, they are strictly opt-in, and rejecting them changes nothing about how the site runs.
Full cookie list
Here is the complete breakdown by category, with example cookie names, lifetimes and how to switch each one off.
| Category | Purpose | Example names | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login session, fraud checks, server routing | JSESSIONID, csrftoken, lb_node | Session to 24 hours | Cannot be disabled |
| Functional | Language, layout and display preferences | lang_pref, ui_settings | 30 to 90 days | Banner or browser settings |
| Analytics | Aggregated traffic and performance data | _ga, _gid | Up to 365 days | Banner or browser settings |
| Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | _fbp, ide | 30 to 90 days | Banner, browser settings or ad industry tools |
Third Party Cookies at Justbet
Some cookies on your device are set by companies we work with, not by us. We allow exactly three types. Analytics providers process traffic data on our behalf under a written data processing agreement that stops them using it for their own purposes. Advertising networks set marketing cookies, and only if you accepted marketing in our banner. Payment providers, such as the services behind our PayID, card and Bitcoin deposit flows, may set fraud-prevention cookies during a transaction to verify your device and stop stolen-card deposits.
We do not sell your cookie data, and our contracts forbid partners from doing so either. Third-party cookies cannot read anything we set and vice versa, because cookies are domain-locked by design. If a partner changes what its cookies do, we review the arrangement before it goes live on our site.
You can spot third-party cookies yourself in your browser's developer tools: their domain will not be justbet-au.com. Anything set by a domain we have not named here is either a strictly necessary payment cookie from a processor on our deposit pages or something you should report to [email protected], and we will investigate it.
How You Control Them
Our banner
The first time you land on justbet-au.com you see a cookie banner with two clear options. Accept all turns on functional, analytics and marketing cookies at once. Reject non-essential keeps strictly necessary cookies and switches everything else off. There is also a Preferences link that lets you tick analytics and marketing separately, and you can reopen the banner any time through the Cookie Settings link in the site footer, so an accidental click is never permanent.
In your browser
Every major browser can block or delete cookies without our help, and the setting survives our banner entirely.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies. Choose to block third-party cookies or block all sites from setting data.
- Safari: Safari menu, then Settings, then Privacy. Use Manage Website Data to delete what is already stored, and turn on Prevent Cross-Site Tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Enhanced Tracking Protection. Custom mode lets you block cookies from trackers, third parties or all sites.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. Block third-party cookies, or add justbet-au.com to an allow or block exception.
What blocking costs you
Blocking marketing and analytics cookies costs you nothing except a slightly less relevant ad experience. Blocking functional cookies means reselecting your language and layout each visit. Blocking strictly necessary cookies, either in the browser or with a strict privacy extension, will log you out on every page load, break deposits and withdrawals, and may stop the live casino lobby from loading at all. If something on our site suddenly stops working after a privacy setting change, that cookie block is the first thing to check.
How Long We Keep Them
Every cookie on our site carries an expiry date, and none of them outlive their purpose. Session cookies are the shortest: they exist only while your browser tab is open and are deleted the moment you close it. That covers your login token and server routing.
Functional cookies persist for 30 to 90 days, which is long enough that your language and layout choices survive a typical gap between visits without hanging around indefinitely. Analytics cookies run up to 365 days so we can compare, for example, how registration flow performed this quarter against last quarter. Marketing cookies last 30 to 90 days, matching standard ad-network windows. Deleting your browser data at any point clears every one of these immediately, and if you later change your banner choices we trim the affected categories straight away rather than waiting for expiry.
Changes to This Policy
When we add a new cookie category, bring in a new analytics or payment partner, or change a retention period, we update this page and bump the version at the top of it. If a change widens what we collect or extends how long we keep it, we also show the consent banner again so you can accept or reject under the new terms before anything new is set. Narrower changes, such as removing a cookie, take effect on the next page load without bothering you.
Questions about anything on this page go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We answer around the clock, every day of the year, and a cookie question should not wait three days for a reply.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Justbet Casino?
Only the strictly necessary ones. You can reject functional, analytics and marketing cookies in the banner and still register, deposit, play all 3,000-plus games and withdraw.
Can I change my cookie choices after signing up?
Yes. Open the Cookie Settings link in the site footer at any time, adjust the categories and save. The change applies from your next page load.
Do you use cookies to track me across other websites?
Only marketing cookies can follow an ad across sites, and only if you opted in. Analytics cookies stay on our own domain and never leave it.
Will deleting cookies log me out?
Yes, because your login session is a strictly necessary cookie. Deleting browser data signs you out everywhere, not just on our site, and you simply sign back in.
Are cookies used for the sportsbook too?
The same four categories and the same rules apply across the casino and the full sportsbook, including live betting, with one shared banner and one shared set of choices.
