1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website.

- Session storage: Data stored temporarily during a browsing session that is deleted when you close your browser.
- Scripts and tracking pixels: Small pieces of code embedded in our pages that enable third-party services to collect information about your interactions with our Site.
Throughout this Cookie Policy, the term "cookies" refers collectively to all such technologies unless otherwise specified.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can be classified based on their origin:
- First-party cookies are set directly by and are only readable by our Site. They are used to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and support the core functionality of the Site.
- Third-party cookies are set by external parties whose services are embedded in or linked from our Site (such as Google Analytics, Meta, Cloudflare, and Microsoft). These third parties may have their own privacy policies governing how they use the data collected through their cookies. We recommend reviewing those policies directly.
5. Cookie Duration
Cookies can also be distinguished by how long they remain on your device:
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They allow websites to link your actions during a single browsing session.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie (for example, 30 days, 1 year, or 2 years) or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the Site that created that particular cookie.
6. Your Cookie Consent
In accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as well as international best practices, we seek your informed consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies — consent to the use of all cookie categories described in this Policy.
- Reject non-essential cookies — decline the use of analytics, functional, and marketing cookies while allowing strictly necessary cookies to continue operating.
- Customise your preferences — choose which specific categories of cookies you wish to accept or decline.
Your consent choice will be saved in a cookie on your device for up to 12 months. After this period, or if you clear your browser cookies, we will ask for your consent again.
Please note that withdrawing or declining consent to certain cookies may affect the functionality of some areas of our Site, including the ability to make reservations, access members-only areas, or enjoy a fully personalised experience.

7.4 Do Not Track

We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

As a hotel-casino operator, we take our responsible gambling obligations seriously. Certain cookies may be used to support responsible gambling measures, including:

These cookies may be classified as essential or functional and may operate regardless of your general cookie preferences where required by law or our licensing conditions.
9. International Data Transfers
Some of the third-party cookie providers listed in this Policy are based outside Australia, including in the United States and the European Union. By accepting non-essential cookies, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside Australia, which may have different data protection standards. We ensure that such transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable Australian privacy law and in compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles relating to cross-border disclosure.
For more details on how we handle cross-border data transfers, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
