How We Use Cookies
This Cookie Policy explains, in plain language, what cookies do when you visit Betpanda Casino, which ones we set, and the controls you have over them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and covers betpanda-au.net.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. When you return, your browser sends that file back so we remember things like whether you're logged in, which language you chose, or what's in your game preferences. Without them, our live tables would log you out on every page load.
Cookies are not programs. They can't install software, read files off your hard drive, or access other sites. They hold a name, a value, an expiry date, and little else. Similar technologies we reference here include local storage and pixels, which work the same way for our purposes.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. Our session cookie ("bpd_session") identifies you after login, "bpd_auth" keeps you signed in, and "bpd_csrf" blocks forged requests against your account. There is no way to play on the site without them, so we set them without asking for consent.
Functional
These remember your choices. "bpd_lang" stores your language, "bpd_cur" stores AUD or your chosen crypto currency, and "bpd_theme" keeps your display settings. Removing them won't break the site, but you'll re-enter your preferences each visit.
Analytics
These show us, in aggregate, how players move through the site: which pages get traffic, where people drop off during registration, and how long sessions last. We look at numbers, not identities. Analytics cookies need your consent before they load.
Marketing
With your consent, marketing cookies help us show Betpanda Casino offers to people who might want them, including retargeting after you leave the site. Decline them and you'll still see the full game library of 12,900 titles; you just won't see our ads follow you around the web.
Here is the full picture at a glance.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Sessions, login, security | bpd_session, bpd_auth | Session | No, required |
| Functional | Language, currency, preferences | bpd_lang, bpd_cur | 90 days | Browser settings |
| Analytics | Aggregated site usage | bpd_stats | 30 days | Banner or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting, offers | bpd_ads | 180 days | Banner or browser |
Third Parties We Allow
Some cookies on our site come from partners, not from us. We permit three categories: analytics providers who measure traffic on our behalf, advertising networks that deliver and measure our campaigns, and payment providers whose services need a cookie to process your PayID, card, or crypto transaction securely.
We contractually require each partner to process data only for the purpose we hired them for. We don't allow third parties to combine your activity on our site with data they collect elsewhere. Each partner's policy, linked in our banner when their cookies load, explains their own retention and deletion practices.
Set Your Own Preferences
On our site
The first time you load betpanda-au.net, our banner offers "Accept all" or "Manage preferences". Manage lets you switch analytics and marketing off while keeping the strictly necessary set. You can reopen that panel any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer; changes apply immediately.
In your browser
Every major browser blocks cookies on its own settings page.
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies, then Block all or per site.
- Safari: Preferences, Privacy, Manage Website Data to remove, or Prevent Cross-Site Tracking for third parties.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Enhanced Tracking Protection, Strict.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, Block third-party cookies.
What happens if you block
Blocking functional and optional cookies is safe. Blocking strictly necessary cookies is not: you won't be able to log in, your game balance won't follow you between pages, and deposits may fail part-way. If something breaks after you change settings, that's the first thing to check.
How Long We Keep Them
Strictly necessary cookies last only as long as your session, except "bpd_auth", which persists 30 days so you stay signed in. Functional cookies run 90 days, analytics cookies 30 days, and marketing cookies up to 180 days. Nothing we set lives longer than a year.
You can shorten every one of these timelines yourself by clearing cookies in your browser at any time. Our system doesn't back them up or restore them; once deleted, they're gone, and the next visit starts fresh.
When We Update This Policy
If we add a new cookie category or a new partner type, we'll update this page and bump the revision date at the top. Material changes, such as a new third-party category, trigger the consent banner again on your next visit, so you always get the chance to say no. Questions? Reach our support team at [email protected] or via live chat, 24/7.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to accept cookies to play at Betpanda Casino?
Only the strictly necessary ones. Decline analytics and marketing in the banner and the full site, including all 12,900 games, still works.
Will rejecting marketing cookies stop ads entirely?
It stops our retargeting ads on other sites and personalisation on ours. You may still see Betpanda Casino ads in general placements that don't rely on cookies.
Do cookies hold my card or wallet details?
No. Payment processing happens on the provider's side. Our cookies hold session and preference data only.
How do I delete cookies I already accepted?
Clear site data in your browser's privacy settings, or use the Cookie settings link in our footer to withdraw consent category by category.
