What cookies are and why we use them
This Holspin cookie policy explains how small text files stored on your phone or computer help our site run properly. Players in Australia open Holspin on many different devices, and cookies let each visit remember a few basic choices. A cookie cannot run programs, and it cannot read other files on your device. It simply holds a short piece of information that our pages can read the next time you return.
We keep cookies to a minimum and use them for plain, practical jobs. Some keep you moving between pages without repeating yourself. Others remember how you like the lobby to look. A few help us see which parts of the site are used so we can fix what is confusing. We do not use cookies to decide what you may or may not do on the site.
You stay in control of this at all times. Every browser lets you view, block or delete cookies, and we explain how further down. Choosing to block some of them is a normal decision, and the site still opens. You may simply notice that a few conveniences stop working until you allow them again.
Types of cookies we use
| Type | Purpose | Can you switch it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps pages loading and remembers the steps you have already taken in a session | Not without affecting how the site works |
| Preference | Remembers display choices such as the last category you opened | Yes, through your browser |
| Analytics | Shows us which pages are visited so we can improve layout and wording | Yes, through your browser |
| Marketing | Helps measure whether an offer link led to a visit | Yes, through your browser |
How long cookies stay on your device
Cookies fall into two broad groups by lifespan. Session cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser, so they leave nothing behind. Persistent cookies remain for a set period and are read again when you come back. We set the shortest lifespan that still does the job each cookie was created for.
You can clear any of them yourself whenever you like. Deleting cookies resets saved preferences, and the next visit starts fresh. If you share a computer or phone with someone else, clearing cookies after each session is a sensible habit that keeps your browsing private.
- Session cookies end when the browser closes.
- Persistent cookies end on a fixed date or when you delete them.
- Clearing your browser history usually removes both kinds.
Your choices stay with you
You can accept, limit or remove cookies at any time. Nothing you choose here changes your right to enjoy the games on our pokies and live floors, and play should always be a form of entertainment you control. Players must be 18+.
Responsible gamblingManaging cookies in your browser
Every modern browser has a settings area for privacy where you can see stored cookies and remove them. You can usually block all cookies, block only those from other sites, or ask the browser to clear them whenever it closes. The exact menu names differ between browsers, but the controls are always found under privacy or security.
On a phone, the same settings sit inside the browser app or in the system settings of your device. If you use our mobile pages often, remember that private or incognito windows delete cookies when you close them. That is a quick way to browse without leaving a trail on your handset.

Third-party tools and your privacy
Some cookies come from tools that run alongside our pages, such as services that measure visits. These tools set their own cookies, and they follow their own rules for how long information is kept. We choose such tools carefully and only for purposes that help us keep the site working well for people in Australia.
Cookies are one part of how we handle personal information. Our privacy policy explains the wider picture, including what we collect, why we collect it and how you can ask questions about it. Our terms set out the general rules for using the site, and both are worth reading alongside this page.
We may update this policy from time to time as the site changes. When we do, the new version replaces the old one on this page, so it is worth checking back now and then. If a change affects how we use cookies in a meaningful way, we will make that clear on the site.
