Our Cookie Policy
This page spells out every cookie we place in your browser when you visit fortunica-aud.com, why each one exists, how long it stays and what happens when you refuse it. No jargon, no surprises.
What Cookies Actually Do
A cookie is a small text file that our website saves on your device the moment you load it. Think of it as a sticky note: when you come back, your browser hands us that note and we remember who you are, which game you had open and which language you picked.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot install software, read your hard drive or touch files outside our site. Each cookie belongs to one domain, so the notes our site leaves can only be read by us or by the partners we name in the section below.
Cookies Fortunica Casino Uses
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. Without them you could not log in, your session would drop every time you clicked a new page, and our fraud checks would have nothing to check. We never ask permission for these and you cannot switch them off in our banner, because refusing them breaks the site.
Functional
These remember your choices: the odds format, the currency, the sound settings on our pokies and whether you collapsed the lobby filters. They save you from resetting the same options on every visit.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to count, in aggregate, which pages load slowly, where players drop off and which games get opened but never played. The data is aggregated, so no report ties a click back to your name.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show you a bonus you have not claimed yet instead of one you already used, and keep our ads from following you around after you have closed the tab. These are the only category we switch off by default until you opt in.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ft_sid | Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in during a session | Session | No |
| ft_sec | Strictly necessary | Fraud and bot protection | Session | No |
| ft_csrf | Strictly necessary | Blocks forged requests on forms | Session | No |
| ft_lang | Functional | Remembers your language choice | 90 days | Yes |

Third Party Cookies We Permit
Some cookies on our site are set by partners whose tools we run, not by us directly. We allow exactly three categories of them, and each one is bound by a contract that limits what it can collect.
Analytics providers measure our page speed and lobby performance. Their cookies count visits and load times; they do not receive your account balance, your deposit history or your identity.
Ad networks place the marketing cookies described above so our promotions stay relevant to you and stop repeating. Their cookies read a random identifier, never your email or player ID.
Payment providers set short session cookies when you open a deposit or withdrawal window. These exist purely to secure the transaction handshake and expire the moment you close that window. If you pay by card or e-wallet, that provider may also set its own fraud prevention cookie, which sits under its own privacy policy.
Take Control of Your Settings
On our site
The first time you land on fortunica-aud.com, a banner offers Accept all or Manage preferences. Manage preferences opens a panel where you toggle functional, analytics and marketing cookies individually. Strictly necessary cookies are always on and shown greyed out. You can reopen that panel any time from the Cookie settings link in our site footer, and changes take effect on your next page load.
In your browser
You can also delete or block cookies at the browser level, which overrides our banner entirely. Here is where the setting lives in the four browsers most of our Australian players use:
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third party cookies, then Block all or add fortunica-aud.com as an exception.
- Safari (iOS and Mac): Settings, Privacy, Manage Website Data, or simply turn on Prevent Cross Site Tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Enhanced Tracking Protection, Strict mode.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, Manage and delete cookies, Block third party cookies.
What blocking costs you
Refuse everything and the site still opens, but nothing works properly. You get logged out on every page change, your language resets, your game filters forget themselves and our fraud system may flag your deposits for manual review, which slows withdrawals. Blocking only marketing and analytics cookies costs you nothing in functionality.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Every cookie we set carries an expiry date, and none of them live on your device forever. Session cookies vanish the instant you close your browser; persistent cookies count down their clock whether you visit us again or not.
We set the shortest expiry that does the job. Login and security cookies never outlive your session. Your language and preference cookies run for 90 days because that matches the period we consider your settings current. Analytics cookies hold data for up to 365 days so our yearly traffic reports stay comparable. Marketing cookies expire after 30 days, since a bonus offer older than a month is stale anyway.
Deleting cookies yourself is always faster than waiting for expiry. Clear your browsing data for our domain and every cookie, including the strict ones, is gone on the spot. They come back the next time you load the site, subject to whatever you choose in the banner.
Changes to This Policy
When we add a new cookie, drop an old one or change a partner, we update this page and bump the revision date at the top of it. If a change widens what we collect, we also show the consent banner again so you can make a fresh choice rather than inherit the old one. Material changes get a notice in your account inbox and, where we hold one, an email to your registered address at least 14 days before the new cookie goes live.
Questions about anything on this page go to [email protected], which our team answers 24/7, or to our live chat from any page on the site.
Frequently asked questions
Do cookies let you see my personal files?
No. A cookie is a text file limited to our own domain. It cannot read your hard drive, your contacts or any other site you visit.
Can I play at Fortunica Casino with all cookies blocked?
Strictly necessary cookies must stay on, otherwise login and deposits break. Functional, analytics and marketing cookies can all be refused without affecting play.
If I delete cookies, do I lose my account?
No. Your account, balance and bonus history live on our servers. Deleting cookies only logs you out and resets remembered preferences such as language and currency.
Why did I see the cookie banner again?
Either you cleared your cookies, you are using a new device or browser, or we changed what we collect and re-asked for your consent as our policy requires.
