This Cookies Policy explains how Aussie Winners Club uses cookies and similar technologies to support secure access, personalised features, lawful advertising, and performance analytics. It outlines the types of cookies used, user control options, consent requirements, and compliance with Australian privacy law, NT gambling licence conditions, and advertising platform standards.
This Cookies Policy outlines how Gaineroo Pty Ltd (ACN: 638 202 114) ("Aussie Winners Club", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and related tracking technologies on https://aussiewinnersclub.com (the "Website" or "Platform"), in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), Spam Act 2003 (Cth), Northern Territory gambling licence conditions, and relevant advertising platform standards.
It explains the categories of cookies and technologies we use, their specific purposes, and your rights and options regarding their use—particularly in relation to account access, ticket purchases, user verification, performance analytics, lawful advertising, and consent management. Where cookies involve the collection of personal information, that data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and in full compliance with applicable Australian privacy and consumer protection laws.
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers and small data files placed on your device or browser when you access a website. They are used to verify identity, maintain session continuity, preserve user preferences, and facilitate lawful system operations. Cookies may be issued directly by the website operator ("first-party cookies") or by authorised third-party service providers ("third-party cookies"), and may persist only for the session or across multiple visits, depending on configuration.
Cookies used on this Platform are classified as follows:
| Type of Cookie | Description |
|---|---|
| Session cookies | Expire when the browser is closed. Typically used for temporary session data. |
| Persistent cookies | Remain stored on your device until manually deleted or until expiry is reached. |
| First-party cookies | Deployed directly by Aussie Winners Club to deliver core Platform functionality. |
| Third-party cookies | Implemented by approved partners for advertising, analytics, or compliance operations. |
All cookies are deployed in accordance with our obligations under Australian law, Northern Territory regulatory licensing conditions, and internal information governance protocols.
We use cookies and associated technologies to support secure, lawful, and efficient Platform operation. This includes:
Cookies that are necessary for Platform functionality and compliance may be deployed without your explicit consent. Non-essential categories—such as analytics and marketing cookies—are subject to opt-in consent through our cookie banner and CMP interface.
Cookies deployed on this Platform are grouped into compliance-based categories, each defined by its function and legal basis. These categories reflect Australian privacy law requirements, digital advertising platform policies, and obligations arising under Northern Territory licensing frameworks.
| Category | Purpose and Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | Required to authenticate users, enforce age restrictions, detect fraud, and ensure session integrity. |
| Functional Cookies | Support enhanced usability by storing preferences, such as language and localisation settings. |
| Performance and Analytics | Enable de-identified tracking of usage patterns, device types, click paths, and platform responsiveness. |
| Marketing and Affiliate Cookies | Facilitate consent-based ad targeting, affiliate attribution, and remarketing via platforms such as Google Ads, Microsoft UET, and Meta Pixel. |
| Unclassified Cookies | Temporary or experimental cookies under active review for proper legal and technical classification. |
Third-party cookies are subject to contractual and technical due diligence. We require all such partners to demonstrate privacy compliance, implement appropriate security controls, and—where applicable—ensure cross-border data transfers meet relevant international safeguards.
In addition to cookies, we deploy other technologies that perform similar or complementary functions. These include:
| Technology Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Tracking Pixels | Transparent image files that record page impressions, ad views, and email interactions. |
| JavaScript Tags | Code fragments that execute during session activity to measure interactions and support dynamic rendering. |
| Local Storage Objects | Browser-level storage used for persistent user preferences and consent states beyond typical cookie duration. |
| Script-Based Analytics | Integrated client-side libraries (e.g. via Google Tag Manager) for runtime monitoring and event tracking. |
These technologies are deployed for strictly defined, lawful purposes including fraud mitigation, service optimisation, and marketing attribution. Their deployment is governed by our CMP and internal controls and is restricted to the minimum data footprint required for operational purposes.
Where such technologies contribute to the collection of personal information, they are subject to the same transparency, consent, and access obligations that apply to cookie-based data processing under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
You may control how cookies are used on your device by accessing our on-site Consent Management Platform ("CMP"). The CMP is implemented in accordance with IAB standards and enables users to:
Your choices are automatically stored in a secure, browser-based object and reapplied on future visits unless deleted. Where your preferences restrict certain cookies, core Platform features may be unavailable or impaired.
If any cookies result in the collection of personal information, you may exercise your rights to access, correction, or erasure of such data by contacting us at: support@aussiewinnersclub.com.
In addition to the on-site Consent Management Platform (CMP), you may manage cookie permissions through your browser settings. Most contemporary browsers include tools to:

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal, which indicates a user preference not to be tracked across websites. While we respect user privacy, the DNT standard is not legally binding under Australian law. Our systems do not currently respond to DNT signals. We encourage users to manage cookie preferences directly through our CMP for more granular and effective control.
In certain instances, we may deploy Flash Cookies, also known as Local Shared Objects (LSOs), to support enhanced browser functionality or ensure continuity of user preferences. Flash Cookies operate independently of standard browser cookies and are not accessible through typical browser settings interfaces.
These may be used for:

The Platform does not knowingly deliver personalised advertising to users under the age of 18. All advertising practices comply with Google Ads and Microsoft Ads restrictions, and we explicitly prohibit the use of sensitive personal information—such as health data, sexual orientation, religion, political beliefs, or biometric identifiers—for advertising or targeting purposes.
No personal information is sold, rented, licensed, or transferred to unrelated third parties for marketing use. All marketing-related tracking is performed on a pseudonymised or de-identified basis, subject to affirmative consent, and governed by applicable privacy and advertising laws.
This Cookies Policy is reviewed periodically to ensure continued compliance with:
