Cookie Policy at Luckystart Casino
This page sets out, in plain English, how Luckystart Casino uses cookies when you play on luckystart-pokies.com, what each type does, and how you stay in control.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that our website places on your device when you visit. It stores a short string of data, such as a session identifier or a preference flag, that our servers read back on your next visit.
We use them to keep you logged in, remember your language and currency choices, and understand which parts of our site work well. Without cookies, every page load would treat you as a brand-new visitor, and features like your account balance or a half-finished bonus would reset.
- Cookies store data on your device, not personal documents.
- They are specific to the site that set them.
- You can delete or block them at any time in your browser.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
These keep the site running and cannot be switched off in our settings. Session cookies identify you after login so you can play without re-authenticating on every page. Security cookies protect your account against cross-site request forgery and session hijacking. Without them, we simply cannot offer a logged-in casino experience.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example names | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session | Keeps you logged in during play | lsid, PHPSESSID | No (necessary) |
| Authentication | Confirms your identity | ls_auth, ls_token | No (necessary) |
| Security | Blocks forged requests | csrftoken | No (necessary) |
| Functional | Language, currency, sound settings | ls_lang, ls_pref | Yes, via banner |
| Analytics | Aggregated visit statistics | _ga, _gid | Yes, via banner |
| Marketing | Retargeting and bonus offers | _fbp, ls_ads | Yes, via banner |
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices: English language selection, sound on or off, and your last-visited game category such as pokies or live tables. They contain no tracking data and exist purely so the site behaves the way you left it.
Analytics
Analytics cookies show us, in aggregate, which pages players open, where they drop off, and how long a typical session lasts. We use the figures to fix slow pages and improve navigation. The data is aggregated and does not identify you by name.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show you relevant Luckystart Casino offers, such as a reminder about our 100% up to 800 AUD welcome package, on other sites you visit. You can decline them at any time without losing access to the casino itself.
Third Parties We Allow
Some cookies on our pages are set by partners who run services for us. We only permit three categories: analytics providers that measure site traffic, advertising networks that deliver our promotional campaigns, and payment providers that secure deposits and withdrawals such as Visa, Skrill or Bitcoin transactions.
Third parties cannot read our account cookies, and we do not sell the data these partners collect. Each partner processes data under its own privacy policy, which we link to in our cookie banner before you consent.
- Analytics providers: aggregated traffic and performance measurement.
- Ad networks: retargeting of our own bonus campaigns.
- Payment providers: fraud screening during deposits and withdrawals.
Manage Your Cookie Settings
On our site
When you first land on luckystart-pokies.com, our banner asks you to accept all cookies or reject everything except strictly necessary ones. You can reopen that banner at any time via the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page and change your answer in two clicks.
In your browser
You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser, whatever site you are on.
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings, Privacy, Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions.
What happens if you block them
Blocking necessary cookies will log you out of Luckystart Casino and stop gameplay entirely. Blocking functional cookies resets your language and layout preferences on each visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on play; you will simply see generic ads instead of our bonus offers.
How Long Cookies Last
Every cookie we set carries an expiry date. Session cookies die the moment you close your browser; everything else persists for a fixed period so we do not ask you the same questions twice.
| Category | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Session and auth | Until you close your browser | Deleted on logout |
| Security | 90 days | Refreshed on each login |
| Functional | 365 days | Language, currency, layout |
| Analytics | Up to 90 days | Aggregated statistics only |
| Marketing | Up to 90 days | Cleared when you withdraw consent |
Changes to This Policy
We review this policy whenever we add or remove a cookie category, and the version at the top of this page always reflects the current setup. For material changes, such as a new marketing partner, we show the consent banner again on your next visit so you can opt in or out before anything new runs.
Questions about a specific cookie? Our support team answers by live chat around the clock or at [email protected].
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cookies slow down my device?
No. A cookie is a few hundred bytes of text. Even several hundred of them take up less space than a single game screenshot.
Can I play at Luckystart Casino with all cookies blocked?
Not logged in. Session and authentication cookies are strictly necessary, so gameplay requires them. Analytics and marketing cookies are fully optional.
How do I withdraw my consent later?
Open the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page and switch off the categories you no longer want, or clear cookies in your browser settings.
Do you sell the data collected through cookies?
No. We use it ourselves and share it only with the analytics, advertising and payment partners listed above, each under their own privacy policy.
