2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

• Session cookies — These are temporary cookies that exist only during the time you are using the Site. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies — These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or until you delete them manually. They allow the Site to recognise you on subsequent visits.
• First-party cookies — These cookies are set directly by Bluehappenworks Casino Hotel when you visit our Site.
• Third-party cookies — These cookies are set by third-party services (such as analytics providers or advertising networks) that appear on our Site.

In addition to cookies, we may also use related technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or tracking pixels), local storage objects, and similar tracking mechanisms. For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to as "cookies" in this policy.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including:

• Ensuring the technical functionality and security of the Site;
• Remembering your preferences and settings;
• Analysing how visitors use the Site so that we can improve performance and content;
• Delivering relevant advertising and promotional content;
• Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns;
• Complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including those related to responsible gambling.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

The cookies used on this Site fall into the following categories:

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, page navigation, and access to restricted areas of the Site. Without these cookies, services that you have requested cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our consent management tool; however, you may block them in your browser settings, though this may affect how the Site functions.

4.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. This data helps us understand how our Site is performing and identify areas for improvement. These cookies are only placed on your device with your prior consent.

Google Analytics data may be transferred to and processed on Google's servers in the United States. Google is certified under applicable data transfer mechanisms. You can learn more about Google's data practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You may also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or currency) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies are placed only with your prior consent.

4.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user, and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are placed only with your prior consent.

Please note that, in accordance with Australia's Casino Control Act 1992 (NSW) and applicable advertising standards, all marketing activities carried out by Bluehappenworks Casino Hotel comply with responsible gambling requirements. Marketing cookies will not be used to target individuals who have self-excluded from gambling activities or who are otherwise prohibited from receiving gambling-related marketing.

5. Your Consent

When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or customise your cookie preferences. Strictly necessary cookies are always active as they are required for the Site to function. Your preferences will be saved for a period of 12 months, after which you will be asked to provide your consent again.

You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link found in the footer of every page on our Site. Please note that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to your withdrawal, and it will not affect processing carried out on the basis of other lawful grounds.

We rely on the following legal bases for placing cookies on your device:

• Consent — for analytics, functional, and marketing cookies. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time as described above.
• Legitimate interests — for strictly necessary and security cookies where consent is not required, as these are essential to deliver a secure and functional website.

7. Cookies and Responsible Gambling

Bluehappenworks Casino Hotel takes responsible gambling seriously. We are committed to ensuring that our digital marketing and cookie practices support, rather than undermine, responsible gambling measures. Specifically:

9. International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party cookie providers listed in this policy (such as Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc.) are based outside of Australia and may process data on servers located in the United States or other countries. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are carried out in compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and applicable international data transfer standards, including reliance on Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or other appropriate safeguards where applicable.
