Cookie Policy at Boombet Casino Australia
When you visit boombet-aud.com, we place small files called cookies on your device. This policy explains, in plain language, what we set, why we set it, and how you can switch any of it off. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your personal data more broadly.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Your browser sends it back to us on each return visit, so the site remembers things between pages and sessions. Without cookies, a website treats every page load as a brand-new visit from a stranger.
Think of the practical effect: you log in once, place a bet on a pokie, then open a live dealer table, and you are still logged in and still in AUD. That continuity is a cookie doing its job. We also use similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, and this policy covers those too.
Cookies cannot read files off your computer, install software, or access other websites you visit. They only hold the data we put in them, which is usually a session identifier or an anonymous preference flag rather than your personal details.
The Four Cookie Categories
We sort every cookie we set into one of four categories. You can accept or reject all but the first through the consent banner that appears the first time you load our site, and you can revisit that choice any time via the cookie icon in the site footer.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example names | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login sessions, authentication, fraud checks, page security | boom_sess, boom_auth, boom_csrf | Session to 30 days | No, site cannot function without them |
| Functional | Language choice, currency display, sound and game settings | boom_lang, boom_cur, boom_prefs | Up to 365 days | Yes, via consent banner |
| Analytics | Aggregated stats on pages visited and load times | _ga, boom_stat | Up to 90 days | Yes, via consent banner |
| Marketing | Retargeting offers to players who saw but did not claim a bonus | boom_mkt, ad_rt | Up to 30 days | Yes, via consent banner |
Strictly necessary
These keep your account secure and usable. Session cookies log you in and keep you logged in as you move between the pokies lobby, the cashier and live tables. Security cookies flag suspicious login patterns, such as a sign-in from a new country, and step-up verification. We do not offer an opt-out because without these cookies you simply cannot play at Boombet Casino.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices so you do not reset them every visit. Your language selection, your AUD currency display, whether the lobby was last filtered to pokies or live games, and your game sound settings all live here. Rejecting them is safe, but you will need to set those preferences again each time you return.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, which pages players use and where pages load slowly. We see that a bonus page was opened 4,000 times or that a game took eight seconds to load, not who opened it. We use these numbers to fix problems and reorder the lobby around what you actually play.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support retargeting, which means you might see a Boombet Casino bonus advertised elsewhere online after visiting us without claiming it. We cap these cookies at 30 days, and rejecting them does not change a single feature on the site, only the advertising you see off-site.
Cookies Others Place Here
Some cookies on our pages belong to third parties that provide services we cannot run ourselves. We allow exactly three classes of these: analytics providers who measure site performance, advertising networks who serve our promo campaigns, and payment providers whose systems appear in the cashier. Each third party controls its own cookies, and we name the specific providers in our cookie settings panel at the moment of consent, so the list you see is current rather than fixed in this policy.
Payment providers appear in this list because the cashier sometimes loads within our site. Their cookies exist to keep your payment session intact, for example when a card verification or crypto transaction needs to complete across a redirect. We do not permit third parties from any other category, and our contracts bar them from using data collected on our site for their own separate purposes.
How You Take Back Control
On our site
The consent banner appears on your first visit. Accept all, reject all except strictly necessary, or open the granular panel and toggle each category separately. The banner reappears after 90 days so nothing is locked in for life, and the cookie icon in the footer reopens the panel any time you change your mind. Your choice applies across the whole site, not page by page.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies outright, which overrides any setting you made on our site.
Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, where you can block all or per-site. Safari: Settings, then Privacy, and use Manage Website Data to remove what boombet-aud.com has already stored. Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data, and choose Block cookies. Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.

What blocking costs you
Blocking functional cookies means resetting language, currency and game preferences every visit. Blocking analytics or marketing changes nothing on-site. Blocking strictly necessary cookies, or clearing them mid-session, logs you out, empties any bet slip in progress, and can force re-verification of your device on the next login as a security precaution.
How Long We Keep Them
Every cookie we set has a fixed expiry, and none of them outlive their purpose. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies range from 30 days for marketing up to 365 days for functional preferences. Analytics sits in the middle at 90 days. If you log in less than once a month, you will notice your login persisting up to 30 days, then asking you to sign in again, which is the strictly necessary cookie expiring on schedule.
| Category | Persistence |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, up to 30 days |
| Functional | Up to 365 days |
| Analytics | Up to 90 days |
| Marketing | Up to 30 days |
When This Policy Changes
We update this cookie policy whenever we add, remove or change what we set, and the revised version goes live on this page with a new effective date at the top. Material changes, meaning new cookie categories or new third-party classes, also trigger a fresh consent banner on your next visit, so nothing switches on silently. Questions about anything here go to [email protected], where our team answers around the clock, every day of the year.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Boombet Casino?
Only strictly necessary ones. You can reject functional, analytics and marketing cookies in the consent banner and every game, bonus and payment feature still works.
Can I change my cookie choices later?
Yes. The cookie icon in the site footer reopens the consent panel any time, and the banner itself reappears every 90 days so you can revise your answer.
Will clearing cookies log me out?
It will, because the strictly necessary session cookies that keep you logged in get deleted along with everything else. You just sign back in with your normal credentials.
Do cookies store my payment details?
No. Cookie contents are limited to session identifiers and preference flags. Card numbers and wallet details are handled inside the payment providers' own secure checkout systems, never in a cookie.
