Pelican Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Pelican Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use its website. It describes what these technologies do, the categories that may be used, and the choices available to you.
Cookies help Pelican Casino operate its website, remember selected preferences, understand how visitors use its services, and present more relevant content where permitted. This policy should be read together with the Pelican Casino Privacy Policy and any other applicable website terms.
Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It allows the website to recognise your browser or device during a visit or on a later occasion. Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you, although information associated with a cookie may be linked to an account or other personal information where this is necessary for the operation of the website.
Pelican Casino may also use related technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and similar tools. For convenience, this policy refers to cookies and these related technologies collectively as "cookies".
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser or leave the website.
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you remove them.
- First-party cookies, which are set by Pelican Casino or on its behalf.
- Third-party cookies, which are set by an external service provider operating on or through the website.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used on the Pelican Casino website can generally be grouped into the categories below. Some cookies may support more than one purpose, and the precise cookies in use may change as website features and services develop.
Cookie categories are intended to explain the role of each technology rather than describe a fixed list of individual cookies. Where a cookie collects or supports the use of personal information, it is handled in accordance with the Pelican Casino Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.
Cookies Needed for Operation
Essential cookies are required for the website to function properly. They support core services that you request and cannot usually be switched off through the website's cookie preference tools. Without them, some parts of Pelican Casino may not operate reliably or may be unavailable.
These cookies may be used to:
- Maintain secure browsing sessions and protect account-related features.
- Support registration, login, and authentication processes.
- Remember information needed while you move between pages.
- Help prevent fraudulent, abusive, or unauthorised activity.
- Maintain website security, load balancing, and technical stability.
- Record cookie preference choices where a consent tool is provided.
Essential cookies do not exist to build a marketing profile. They are used to deliver the website and services you have chosen to access. Blocking them through browser settings may prevent you from logging in, using account functions, or accessing particular areas of Pelican Casino.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies help Pelican Casino understand how the website works and how visitors interact with it. The information collected may include pages visited, time spent on a page, navigation patterns, error messages, device information, browser type, and general usage data.
Pelican Casino may use this information to:
- Identify pages that are slow, difficult to use, or producing technical errors.
- Monitor the reliability and responsiveness of website services.
- Understand which content and features are most useful to visitors.
- Test improvements before making them available more broadly.
- Produce aggregated reports about website activity.
Performance data is generally analysed in aggregated or pseudonymised form where appropriate. These cookies are intended to improve the service rather than identify individual visitors for advertising purposes. If you do not allow them, you may still use the core website, although Pelican Casino may have less information available for diagnosing problems and improving performance.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide a more personalised experience. They are not always essential, but they can make the website easier and more convenient to use.
Depending on the features available, functional cookies may remember settings such as language selection, region, display preferences, or information entered into website forms. They may also support optional features that you choose to activate during a session.
If functional cookies are disabled, some preferences may need to be entered again each time you visit. Certain optional features may also operate in a more limited way. Pelican Casino will not treat a failure to accept optional functional cookies as a reason to deny access to services that do not require those cookies.
Advertising and Promotional Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand browsing activity and help deliver advertising or promotional content that is more relevant to your interests. They may also help Pelican Casino measure the effectiveness of campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, or understand whether a promotional message has been viewed or acted upon.
These cookies may be placed by Pelican Casino or by selected third parties that provide advertising, campaign measurement, analytics, or similar services. They may recognise a browser across different websites or services, subject to the settings and practices of the relevant provider.
Marketing cookies are not necessary for basic website operation. Where consent is required, Pelican Casino will seek it through the available cookie controls before using these cookies. Refusing them may result in less relevant advertising, but it should not prevent you from using essential website functions.
Marketing cookies do not by themselves authorise Pelican Casino to send direct marketing communications. Any direct promotional communication is handled separately under applicable preferences, account settings, and privacy requirements.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
You can manage cookies in several ways. If a cookie preference tool is displayed on the Pelican Casino website, you can use it to accept or refuse optional categories and, where available, change your choices later. Essential cookies may continue to operate because they are needed to provide requested website functions.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block all cookies or selected categories of cookies.
- Receive a notification before a cookie is stored.
- Set cookies to expire when the browser session ends.
Browser controls apply at device or browser level. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately. Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences, end active sessions, or affect features that rely on stored information.
Some browsers offer privacy settings that limit tracking, while certain devices provide additional advertising controls. The effect of these settings can vary. Pelican Casino cannot guarantee that every third-party technology will respond in the same way to every browser signal or device preference.
Services Provided by Others
Third-party cookies may be used when external providers support functions on the Pelican Casino website. These providers may include technology, security, analytics, advertising, payment, content delivery, or other service partners. The presence of a third-party service does not mean that Pelican Casino endorses all of that provider's products or practices.
Third parties may process information under their own privacy notices and may use their own cookies or similar technologies. Their ability to recognise your browser may continue beyond your visit to Pelican Casino, depending on their systems and retention practices. Pelican Casino does not control every aspect of third-party cookie operation.
Where relevant, you should review the privacy and cookie information published by the external provider. You can also restrict many third-party cookies through the Pelican Casino cookie controls, your browser settings, or tools made available by the provider. Blocking a third-party cookie may affect a particular embedded feature without affecting the rest of the website.
Changes to This Policy
Pelican Casino may update this Cookies Policy when its website, technology, service providers, legal obligations, or cookie practices change. The revised version will be published on this page, with the effective date or other update information shown where appropriate.
Changes may include the introduction of new cookie categories, the removal of technologies no longer required, or adjustments to the way optional cookies are managed. If an update materially affects your choices, Pelican Casino may provide an additional notice or request consent where this is required.
Please review this page from time to time so that you remain aware of how cookies are used. Your continued use of the website after an updated policy is published will be subject to the revised policy, except where applicable requirements provide for a different approach.
If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or wish to raise a privacy-related concern, please use the Pelican Casino contact page.
