What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how MONOPOLY Casino, operated at monopoly-uk-casino.com and registered at Level 3, One Canada Square, London, E14 5AA, United Kingdom, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use our website. It applies to all visitors, registered players, and anyone who interacts with our pages, whether you are browsing anonymously or logged into your account.
Reading this policy will help you understand what data is collected through cookies, why we collect it, how long it stays on your device, and what options you have to control it. We have written it to be direct and readable rather than padded with legal boilerplate that helps no one.
If you have questions that this policy does not answer, you can reach our team at welcome@monopoly-uk-casino.com or by calling +44 20 7963 8420.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. That file is sent back to the website each time you return, allowing the site to recognise your browser, remember your preferences, and collect certain usage data.
Cookies are not programmes. They cannot execute code, carry viruses, or access files stored elsewhere on your device. What they can do is hold identifiers and settings that make your browsing experience work correctly and allow us to analyse how the site is used.
Beyond standard cookies, we also use technologies that work in a similar way:
- Web beacons: Tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails that register when content is loaded, helping us confirm delivery and measure engagement.
- Local storage and session storage: Browser-side storage mechanisms that hold data locally without sending it back to a server with every request. These behave differently from cookies but serve overlapping purposes.
- Pixel tags: Code snippets placed by advertising partners to track conversions and build audience segments.
Where we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we mean all of these technologies collectively unless we specify otherwise.
How Australian Law Governs Our Use of Cookies
MONOPOLY Casino operates in compliance with Australian privacy law, principally the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained within it. Although cookies are not named explicitly in that legislation, they frequently collect personal information as defined under the Act, including IP addresses, device identifiers, and behavioural data tied to an identifiable individual.
Where cookies on this site collect personal information, the following obligations apply to us under the APPs:
- APP 1: We must manage personal information openly and transparently, which is why this policy exists.
- APP 3: We may only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions, and we must collect it by lawful and fair means.
- APP 5: At or before the point of collection, we must notify you of the purposes for which the information is collected and how it may be disclosed.
- APP 6: Personal information collected for one purpose may not be used or disclosed for a secondary purpose unless an exception applies or you have consented.
- APP 11: We must take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access.
Additionally, as an online gambling operator subject to Australian consumer protection frameworks, we are conscious of obligations under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) and guidance issued by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), including responsible gambling requirements that cookies may support through session monitoring and player protection tools.
Where cookies are used for direct marketing, the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) also applies, requiring that any electronic commercial messages sent as a result of cookie-based profiling are consented to and include a functional unsubscribe mechanism.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, core features such as account login, session management, and secure payment processing would not work. Because they are essential, they do not require your consent under applicable frameworks, though we disclose them here in the interest of full transparency.
- Session authentication tokens that keep you logged in as you move between pages
- Security cookies that detect and prevent fraudulent activity and cross-site request forgery
- Load-balancing cookies that distribute traffic across servers to maintain performance
- Cookies that store your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you repeatedly
Analytical and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use monopoly-uk-casino.com. The data is aggregated, meaning it tells us, for example, which pages receive the most traffic or where users tend to leave the site, without identifying any individual visitor.
We use this information to improve the site’s structure, content, and performance over time. If you decline these cookies, the site will still function, but we will have less visibility into how it is performing.
- Page view and session duration tracking
- Error logging and crash reporting
- Heatmap and scroll-depth analysis
- A/B testing frameworks that compare different versions of pages
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have embedded on our pages.
- Language and regional preference settings
- Responsible gambling preferences, including deposit limits and session reminders you have configured
- Saved game states and lobby layout preferences
- Live chat session data so you do not need to re-enter your details mid-conversation
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are set through our site by advertising partners. They build a profile of your interests based on sites you have visited and show you relevant advertisements on other platforms. They do not store personal information directly but work by uniquely identifying your browser.
We rely on your explicit consent before placing targeting cookies. If you withdraw that consent, you may still see adverts for MONOPOLY Casino elsewhere online, but they will not be tailored to your browsing behaviour.
- Retargeting pixels that allow partners to serve ads to users who have previously visited our site
- Conversion tracking to measure whether an advert led to a registration or deposit
- Social media audience-matching tools
Responsible Gambling Cookies
Given the nature of our service, we use a specific set of cookies to support player protection obligations. These are distinct from standard functional cookies because they serve a compliance and welfare purpose, not merely a convenience one.
- Session duration cookies that power optional time-limit reminders
- Self-exclusion flags that prevent access for players who have requested a break from gambling
- Age verification session markers that confirm identity checks have been completed
These cookies may not be disabled where they are necessary to give effect to a responsible gambling measure you or we have put in place.
Cookies Set by Third Parties
Some cookies on monopoly-uk-casino.com are placed not by us but by third-party services we have integrated. We do not have direct control over those cookies. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy, which we recommend you review.
Third parties whose cookies may appear on our site include:
- Analytics platforms that provide us with aggregated visitor data
- Payment processors whose widgets load during deposit and withdrawal flows
- Game software providers who stream live casino content or slot games
- Customer support chat tools
- Social media platforms if you interact with any share or follow buttons on the site
Where we engage third-party service providers who process personal information collected through cookies on our behalf, we require them under contract to handle that data in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and to implement appropriate technical security measures.
Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two categories based on how long they persist:
- Session cookies: These exist only for the duration of your browsing session. Once you close your browser, they are deleted automatically. We use session cookies primarily for authentication and security purposes.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed, until either their expiry date is reached or you delete them manually. Persistent cookies on our site range from 30 days for certain analytics identifiers to up to 24 months for preference and targeting cookies.
A full list of cookies, including their names, providers, purposes, and expiry periods, is available through the cookie management tool accessible via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website.
Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies
Through Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit monopoly-uk-casino.com, a consent banner will appear. You can use it to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or open a detailed preference centre where you can toggle each category individually. Your selection is stored and applied for future visits.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the site footer. Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving it, and we will honour your updated preferences promptly.
Through Your Browser
All major browsers allow you to manage cookies at the browser level. The steps vary by browser, but you can typically find cookie controls under the privacy or security section of your browser’s settings. Common options include:
- Blocking all third-party cookies
- Deleting all existing cookies
- Receiving a notification before a cookie is placed
- Blocking cookies from specific domains
Be aware that disabling all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, including this one. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be blocked via the preference centre, but your browser settings can override that if you choose.
Opting Out of Analytics
If you use analytics tools that provide a browser-level opt-out mechanism, installing the relevant browser extension or enabling the opt-out through the provider’s own settings will prevent that provider from collecting data about your visits to sites including ours.
Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising
You can limit interest-based advertising by adjusting settings on your device or through industry opt-out schemes available in your region. Opting out does not stop adverts from appearing but does stop them from being personalised based on your browsing history.
Data Collected Through Cookies
Depending on which cookies are active during your visit, data collected may include:
- Your IP address and approximate geographic location
- Device type, operating system, and browser version
- Pages visited, time spent on each page, and navigation paths through the site
- Referring URLs (the page you were on before arriving at our site)
- Interactions with games, bonuses, and promotional content
- Login timestamps and session activity for security monitoring
Where this data constitutes personal information under the Privacy Act 1988, it is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which you can read at monopoly-uk-casino.com. Personal information is not sold to third parties.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Some third-party providers whose cookies operate on our site process data in countries outside Australia. Under APP 8, before disclosing personal information to an overseas recipient, we must take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs in relation to that information.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we use contractual safeguards or verify that the recipient country maintains privacy protections substantially similar to those required under Australian law.
Children and Cookie Consent
MONOPOLY Casino is an adults-only gambling service. Our site is not directed at anyone under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a person under 18 has accessed our site and their personal information has been collected through cookies, please contact us at welcome@monopoly-uk-casino.com so we can take appropriate steps.
Changes to This Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy when our practices change, when we add new third-party integrations, or when applicable law requires amendments. When we make material changes, we will bring them to your attention through a notice on the site or, where appropriate, by direct communication. The version of this policy displayed on the site is the one currently in effect.
