Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile device or other internet-connected device when you visit. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies can help a website operate correctly, improve performance, remember choices and provide information about how visitors use its pages.

Some cookies are set directly by MD88. Other cookies may be set by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or other services. These third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and policies.

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The duration of a cookie can vary depending on its purpose and the settings of the relevant service.

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information connected with a cookie, such as an online identifier, device information or browsing activity, may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy laws when it can reasonably be linked to you.

Similar technologies

We may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and other identifiers. For simplicity, this policy refers to cookies and these related technologies collectively as “cookies”, unless a distinction is needed.

2. How MD88 may use cookies

The cookies used on our website may serve several purposes. Some are necessary for the site to function, while others help us understand usage or improve the online experience. The particular cookies available may change over time as the website, technology providers and services are updated.

Strictly necessary cookies: These support essential website functions, such as page navigation, security features, session management and access to areas that require authentication. The website may not operate properly without these cookies, so they may not be available for deactivation through the cookie preference tool.
Functionality cookies: These remember choices or settings, such as language, region, display preferences or other selections made during a visit. They can help provide a more consistent and convenient experience.
Performance and analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site and whether pages or features are working as expected. The information may be used to identify technical issues and improve content and performance.
Security and fraud prevention cookies: These help detect unusual activity, protect accounts and sessions, support the integrity of the website and reduce the risk of unauthorised access, abuse or fraudulent activity.
Advertising or marketing cookies: Where used and permitted, these may help measure the effectiveness of communications or present information that is more relevant to visitors. They may also limit how often content is shown or help understand interactions with promotional material.
Preference and consent cookies: These may remember whether you have made a cookie choice and, where possible, what options you selected. This helps us respect your preferences during later visits.

Cookies may also support responsible gambling information, account notices, age-related checks, security messages and other compliance-related functions. The use of a cookie does not change any legal or account requirements that apply when using an online gambling service. You remain responsible for providing accurate information and complying with the applicable terms.

Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, pages viewed, links followed, time and date of access, referring website and technical events. The information collected will depend on the cookie and the way you use the website.

3. Your cookie choices and browser controls

Where available, you can use the website’s cookie preference tool to accept or reject optional categories of cookies. Your choices may be saved in a preference cookie. If you delete cookies, use a different browser or access the website from another device, you may need to make your choices again.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. Instructions vary between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant browser or device provider for current guidance.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation, security or availability of some website features.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent account access or interfere with important functions.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to repeat certain selections.
Cookie controls on one browser or device may not apply to another browser or device.
Some third-party services may provide their own opt-out or privacy controls.

Where Australian privacy law applies, you may have rights relating to personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies. These rights can depend on the circumstances and may include requesting access to personal information, asking for inaccurate information to be corrected, or raising a concern about how information is handled. Further information is set out in the MD88 Privacy Policy.

If you choose not to accept optional cookies, you may still browse parts of the website. However, certain content, settings or functions may not work in the same way. A refusal of optional cookies does not necessarily remove information already collected before your choice was changed. Existing information may be retained or handled in line with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

4. Third-party services, updates and enquiries

Some pages or features may include content, tools or services provided by third parties. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver their services, measure performance, improve security or support their own operations. MD88 does not control every third-party cookie. You should review the relevant third party’s privacy information to understand how it collects and uses information.

Third-party cookies may be used for services such as website measurement, security monitoring, payment-related functions, customer support, embedded content or communications. The availability and purpose of these services can change. We aim to use providers and technologies that are appropriate for the relevant website function and legal requirements.

Information collected through cookies may be processed in Australia or another country, depending on the service provider and the technical arrangements used to operate the website. Where information is disclosed overseas, we take steps required by applicable privacy law and consider the relevant safeguards, contractual arrangements and provider practices.

This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technology, legal requirements or the way cookies are used. When changes are made, the updated version will be made available on this page, together with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should check this page periodically if you want to remain informed.

Continuing to use the website after an updated Cookies Policy is published may indicate that you have read the revised information. Where consent is legally required for optional cookies, we will seek it through the available consent mechanism rather than relying only on continued browsing.

Do not include passwords, payment details or other sensitive information in a general enquiry unless you are specifically asked to provide it through a secure process.
