Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit it. They are used, among other things, to remember your choices, keep the site working properly and produce usage statistics. The Website also uses browser local storage (localStorage), which stores small pieces of information on your device in a similar way but without being sent to the server with every request. In this Policy, cookies and localStorage entries are together referred to as "cookies".
2. Cookies and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)
Australia does not have a separate cookie statute. Instead, information collected through cookies is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) whenever it is personal information — that is, whenever an individual is reasonably identifiable from it, alone or combined with other data (for example, an IP address linked to browsing activity). We handle any such information in accordance with the 13 APPs, as described in our Privacy Policy. In line with the transparency obligations of APP 1 and the notification obligations of APP 5, this page tells you what we set, why, and for how long — and non-essential cookies are used only if you accept them through the cookie banner shown on the Website.
3. Cookies Used on This Website
The Website deliberately uses very few cookies. They are listed below:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Strictly necessary (first-party, localStorage) | Records whether you accepted or rejected cookies via the cookie banner, so the banner is not shown to you again. | 12 months |
| Session / security | Strictly necessary (first-party) | Supports the basic operation and security of the Website during your visit, such as protecting against abusive automated traffic. | Session (deleted when you close your browser) |
| Preference cookies | Functional (first-party) | Remember interface choices you make on the Website, such as language or display preferences, so they persist between visits. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Optional (set only with your consent) | The Website does not currently run analytics cookies. If we introduce them, they would measure aggregate page visits and would be set only after you accept them through the cookie banner. | Not currently set; would be stated here if introduced |
The Website does not use advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking cookies. If new cookies are introduced in the future, this Policy and the cookie banner will be updated first, and your consent will be requested where the cookies are not strictly necessary.
4. Your Consent — The Cookie Banner
When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner offers you a clear choice: Accept or Reject. Strictly necessary cookies operate regardless of your choice because the Website cannot function properly without them; they do not collect information for commercial purposes. All other cookies are used only if you choose Accept. Your decision is stored in the cookie_consent entry for 12 months, after which the banner will ask you again. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the Website's data in your browser (see section 5), which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.
5. How to Manage or Delete Cookies in Your Browser
You can also view, block or delete cookies (including localStorage) directly in your browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site settings → Cookies and site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Each browser vendor also publishes step-by-step instructions on its support pages. Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the Website from working as intended — for example, the Website will not be able to remember that you have already responded to the cookie banner.
6. Third Parties and Disclosure
Information stored by our own cookies is not disclosed to third parties. Where static resources (such as script or style libraries) are delivered through a third-party content delivery network, that provider may technically process your IP address in order to serve the file; any such processing is governed by the provider's own privacy policy, and any overseas disclosure by us is handled in accordance with APP 8 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), as explained in our Privacy Policy.
7. Complaints — Office of the Australian Information Commissioner
If you believe our use of cookies breaches the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), please contact us first at support@slotrave.com so we can put things right. You also have the right to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), the independent national privacy regulator in Australia: oaic.gov.au, phone 1300 363 992.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the law, in OAIC guidance or in the technologies used by the Website. The current version is always published on this page, and the date of the most recent update is shown at the top.
