1.1. Introduction and Scope
At BigBassBonanza-AU.com, we are committed to clearly explaining how cookies and other tracking technologies are used on our website. Although we are not a gambling operator, we provide affiliate links and content that may involve the use of cookies for statistical analysis and commission attribution purposes. This Cookie Policy outlines what cookies are, the types we use, and how users can manage their preferences.
While Australia does not currently have a single unified “cookie law” like some other jurisdictions, we follow key principles of transparency and informed consent as outlined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and best international practices.
1.2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on a user’s browser or device when visiting a website. They serve multiple purposes such as remembering preferences, analysing browsing behaviour, or, in our case, managing affiliate links. When a user returns to the website, these cookies allow settings to be restored or specific activities to be tracked.
There are different types of cookies:
- Essential or Technical Cookies: Required for the proper functioning of the site (e.g. storing session data or language preferences).
- Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymous statistical data such as page views and time spent on site.
- Third-Party Cookies: Used by external platforms or affiliate networks to track clicks and conversions and allocate commissions.
1.3. Use of Cookies on BigBassBonanza-AU.com
Although we operate as an affiliate site, we use cookies mainly to:
- Improve user experience: Some cookies help display content correctly and remember certain settings (e.g. preferred list view).
- Analyse site traffic: We may use analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to understand which sections are most helpful, how many users visit daily, and what content drives engagement. This data is collected in aggregate and does not directly identify individuals.
- Manage affiliate tracking: Cookies help us determine whether a visitor clicked an affiliate link and later registered or made a deposit on a referred operator. This enables correct commission attribution. No banking details or gaming account access is stored or shared.
1.4. Consent and Cookie Control
Upon your first visit to BigBassBonanza-AU.com, a pop-up or banner may appear to inform you about cookie usage. Users may accept, reject, or customise their cookie preferences. Additionally:
- Most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) allow you to block or delete cookies at any time from the settings menu.
- Disabling some cookies (especially essential ones) may affect the functionality of the site and prevent certain sections from displaying properly.
- Rejecting third-party cookies may result in affiliate tracking being disabled, which could affect how visits and commissions are recorded, though it should not impact the main content of the site.
1.5. Third-Party Cookie Policies
When we include banners or links to gambling operators, those third-party sites may use their own cookies for marketing, content personalisation, or tracking player activity. In such cases, data collection is governed by each operator’s cookie policy. We recommend reviewing their terms before registering or making a deposit, to understand what data is collected and for what purposes.
As an affiliate site, we do not share personal data with operators, nor do we have access to individual records related to your activity on their platforms. We only retain a referral ID to recognise the source of traffic.
