Last updated: 12 February 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Chicken Road Australia ("we", "us", "our") uses them on the website playchickit.com/au (the "Site"), what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Our use of cookies complies with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as overseen by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function more efficiently and to provide information to site operators.
Cookies serve a variety of functions, including:
- Remembering your preferences and settings across visits
- Helping us understand how visitors interact with the Site
- Enabling certain features and functionality
- Supporting analytics to improve Site performance and content
- Tracking affiliate referrals when you click links to external casino platforms
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, though they may be linked to personal data we hold about you (for example, if you have contacted us via our contact page).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies used on the Site into the following groups:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and access to certain areas. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate as intended. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.
- Session cookies: Maintain your browsing session and expire when you close your browser
- Security cookies: Help detect and prevent potential security threats
2.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the Site, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate between pages. This information helps us improve the Site's structure, content, and overall user experience.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled to collect aggregated, anonymised usage data. Google Analytics cookies typically expire after 2 years. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
2.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, they may remember your preferred language or the region you are visiting from.
2.4 Marketing and Affiliate Cookies
When you click an affiliate link on the Site leading to an external casino platform, a cookie may be placed on your device to track the referral. This cookie allows the affiliate partner to attribute your visit or registration to our Site, enabling us to earn a commission.
- These cookies do not share your personal information with us
- They are set by the third-party platform, not by us
- Typical expiry: 30 to 90 days, depending on the affiliate programme
We never use marketing cookies to build a personal profile for targeted advertising on our Site.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, third-party services we use may set cookies on your device when you visit the Site. These third parties include:
| Provider | Purpose | Cookie Type | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Website analytics and performance monitoring | Analytics | Up to 2 years |
| Affiliate Partners | Referral tracking for affiliate commissions | Marketing | 30–90 days |
| Cloudflare | Security and performance (CDN) | Necessary | Session / 30 days |
We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these providers directly.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data

Please note: If you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly. Analytics and affiliate cookies can be blocked without affecting core Site functionality.
5. Legal Basis Under Australian Law
Unlike the European Union's ePrivacy Directive, Australia does not have a specific cookie consent law. However, our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which regulate the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.
Under APP 5, we are required to notify you about the collection of personal information, including information collected via cookies. This Cookie Policy serves as that notification. Under APP 1, we must manage personal information in an open and transparent manner, which we fulfil through this policy and our Privacy Policy.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) oversees compliance with the Privacy Act. If you have concerns about our use of cookies or how your data is handled, you can lodge a complaint with the OAIC at oaic.gov.au.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or best practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
