Our Cookie Policy
This page explains the cookies we set on oshicasino-pokies.com, what each one does, how long it stays on your device and how you can switch any of them off. We keep the wording plain and the controls in your hands.
What Cookies Actually Do
Cookies are small text files that our site saves on your device when you visit. Each one stores a snippet of data, such as whether you are logged in or which language you picked, and sends it back to us on your next visit.
They is a standard part of how the web works. Without them, we could not keep you signed in between pages, remember your game filters or protect your account from unauthorised access. Nothing in a cookie can run programs on your device or read files you have stored elsewhere.
The Cookies We Set
We sort every cookie we use into four categories. You can accept or reject the last two categories at any time from the banner shown on your first visit.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and your account secure. Our session cookie keeps you logged in as you move between pages, our authentication cookie verifies it is really you after you sign in, and our security cookies help block automated attacks on the login and cashier. They cannot be switched off because the site cannot function without them.
Functional
These remember your choices so you do not set them twice. They store your language selection, your preferred currency such as AUD, your game provider filters and whether you have already dismissed a notice. Rejecting them means the site still works, but it forgets your settings each visit.
Analytics
These show us, in aggregated form, which pages get visited, where players drop off and how long a typical session runs. We use the numbers to fix slow pages and to decide which pokies to feature. The data is anonymised and never tied to your name or your betting history.
Marketing
These let us show you Oshi Casino offers on other sites you visit afterwards. A marketing cookie records that you landed on our promotions page so our advertising partners can serve a relevant banner later instead of a generic one. You can decline this category without losing any part of the site.
Cookie categories at a glance
The table below lists a typical example cookie name for each category, what it does, how long it lasts and whether you can opt out.
| Cookie type | Example name | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | oshisession | Keeps you logged in during your visit | Session | No |
| Strictly necessary | oshiauth | Verifies your login between pages | 30 days | No |
| Security | oshicsrf | Blocks cross-site request forgery attempts | Session | No |
| Functional | oshilang | Stores your chosen language and currency | 90 days | Yes |
| Analytics | oshistats | Aggregated page-view measurement | 90 days | Yes |
| Marketing | oshimkt | Retargeting of our bonus offers | 180 days | Yes |
Cookies From Third Parties
Some cookies on our pages are placed by partners whose services we run, not by us directly. We allow three kinds: analytics providers who measure site traffic on our behalf, advertising networks who deliver our retargeting campaigns, and payment providers whose cookies keep your deposit and withdrawal sessions secure while you are on the cashier.
We vet every partner before their code goes on our site, and we do not allow any third party to read cookies it did not place itself. Your payment details are handled by the provider's own secure session and are never stored in a cookie. If a partner changes what its cookies collect, we reassess it as part of our regular review.
Manage Your Own Preferences
On our site
A banner appears the first time you open oshicasino-pokies.com. You can accept all categories or press the settings link and untick analytics and marketing individually. Your choice is stored for twelve months, and you can reopen the banner any time from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
In your browser
Every major browser can also block or delete cookies, which overrides whatever you told our banner.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, then block or allow per site.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data to remove our cookies, or tick Prevent Cross-Site Tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then choose Standard or Strict tracking protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then block cookies for a specific site.
What happens if you block them
Blocking strictly necessary cookies means you cannot log in, claim bonuses or reach the cashier. Blocking functional cookies leaves the site usable but wipes your language and currency settings every visit. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies has no effect on game play; it only stops the numbers we count and the follow-up ads you see elsewhere.
How Long We Keep Them
Each cookie carries its own expiry. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Anything longer-lived is listed in the table above: 30 days for login convenience, 90 days for functional and analytics cookies, and up to 180 days for marketing, which is the longest any single cookie of ours survives. Your consent record itself is kept for twelve months so we can prove which categories you accepted.
Deleting cookies at any point clears them straight away, whatever their scheduled expiry. We never extend a cookie's life beyond what the table states, and we do not resurrect deleted cookies without your fresh consent.
When We Change This Policy
Whenever we add a new cookie, bring in a new partner or change a duration, we update this page and bump the version note at the top. If a change affects the categories you have already accepted or declined, we show the banner again so you can make a fresh choice rather than assuming your old consent carries over.
Questions about any cookie on this page go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], and our live chat runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait.
Frequently asked questions
Can I play at Oshi Casino with all cookies blocked?
Not with strictly necessary cookies blocked, since login, the cashier and bonus crediting depend on them. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies only affects our measurement and the ads you see on other sites.
How often do I need to set my preferences again?
Your consent lasts twelve months, after which the banner reappears. Changing or deleting cookies in your browser can shorten that, and you can reopen the settings from the footer link at any time.
Do cookies store my payment details?
No. Payment providers use their own secure sessions for deposits and withdrawals, and card or wallet details are never written into a cookie on your device.
Why do I see Oshi Casino ads after visiting?
Marketing retargeting cookies mark that you viewed our offers, which lets advertising partners show you relevant banners instead of generic ones. Decline the marketing category in the banner and these ads stop.
