Our Cookie Policy
This page explains every cookie playdash-au.com sets in your browser, why it is there and how you can switch it off. We keep the wording plain because a privacy policy you cannot understand is not much use to you.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It stores a snippet of data, such as a session number or your language choice, and sends it back to us on your next visit so the site remembers you.
Cookies cannot read files off your computer, install programs or access anything outside the browser. They only hold the information we or a trusted partner put into them. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, follow the same rules on this page.
Cookies We Use at Playdash
Strictly necessary
These keep the casino running. Without them you could not log in, keep a session alive between pages, or pass our fraud and security checks. They include the session identifier that ties your browser to your account and the cookie that remembers your login state. Necessary cookies load before consent because the site cannot function without them.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices rather than your identity. They store your selected language, your preferred currency, whether you dismissed a banner and your game display settings. Turning them off will not break the site, but you will need to set your preferences again each visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregated form, which pages players open, where they drop off and how long a session lasts. We use the data to fix navigation problems and improve load times. The reports we read contain no names and no individual betting histories.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support retargeting. If you see a Playdash Casino ad elsewhere after visiting us, one of these cookies made that possible. They also help us measure whether a promotional campaign actually brought players in. These cookies are opt-in and stay off until you accept them in our banner.
| Category | Example names | Purpose | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | PHPSESSID, __host-auth, csrftoken | Login, session, security | No, required for the site |
| Functional | lang_pref, currency_pref, ui_settings | Remembers your choices | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Analytics | _ga, _gid, _sid_stat | Aggregated usage statistics | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | _fbp, _ttclid, ads_uid | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Yes, via banner or browser |
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on playdash-au.com belong to partners, not to us. We allow three narrow categories: analytics providers that measure site traffic, advertising networks that serve and measure retargeting campaigns, and payment providers that need a cookie to complete a deposit or withdrawal securely.
Every third party receives only the data it needs for its job. None of them can pull your account balance, your game history or your identity from their cookie. We review the list at least annually and remove partners that no longer serve a purpose.
Managing Your Preferences
Our consent banner
On your first visit you see a consent banner. You can accept all categories, reject everything except necessary cookies, or open the detailed settings and toggle each category separately. You can change your mind later by reopening the banner from the cookie icon in the page footer or from your account settings.
Browser settings
Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies yourself:
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies, then block or clear as you prefer.
- Safari: Settings, Privacy, Manage Website Data to remove stored cookies.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data, Manage Exceptions.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, Manage and delete cookies and site data.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking necessary cookies means you cannot log in or complete a deposit, because the payment step requires a session cookie. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay; you simply stop contributing to statistics and stop seeing retargeted ads.
How Long We Keep Them
Each cookie carries an expiry date set by us or by the partner that owns it. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a fixed period and then delete themselves automatically.
The table below shows the maximum lifetime per category. Clearing your browser data at any time removes persistent cookies immediately, whatever their scheduled expiry.
| Category | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary, session | Until you close your browser | Deleted automatically at session end |
| Necessary, persistent | Up to 365 days | Keeps you logged in on trusted devices |
| Functional | Up to 90 days | Language, currency and display choices |
| Analytics | Up to 90 days, some up to 365 days | Aggregated statistics only |
| Marketing | Up to 90 days | Retargeting windows are typically 30 days |
Changes to This Policy
When we add a new cookie, change a partner or adjust retention periods, we update this page and show a short notice in the consent banner for 14 days. Material changes, such as a new category of marketing cookie, also go out by email to registered players. The version you are reading always reflects what playdash-au.com does today.

Frequently asked questions
Can I play at Playdash Casino with all cookies blocked?
No. Necessary cookies handle login, session security and payment confirmation, so the site cannot function without them. You can safely block analytics and marketing cookies and play as normal.
How do I withdraw my cookie consent after accepting?
Open the cookie icon in the footer or go to your account settings and adjust the categories, or simply delete the cookies in your browser and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Do cookies store my card or wallet details?
Never. Payment providers use cookies only to secure the transaction in progress. Card numbers and wallet credentials are handled on the provider's own encrypted pages and are not written to cookies.
How often do you review your third-party cookies?
At least once a year, and whenever a partner arrangement changes. Cookies with no current purpose are removed from the site and from this policy.
