Our Cookie Policy in Plain English
This page sets out how Gluck Casino uses cookies when you visit gluck-casino.com. We run through each category we rely on, how long each one stays on your device, and the choices you have.
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. Your browser stores them and sends them back to us on each return visit, which is how the site remembers things between pages.
We cannot log you into your account, keep a game session open, or remember your language choice without them. Each cookie holds a small amount of data, such as a session identifier or a preference flag, and nothing more.
The Cookie Categories We Use
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep the site working. They handle your login session, authentication tokens and security checks such as fraud prevention. Without them you cannot sign in or play, and they cannot be switched off from the banner because the site would simply break.
| Example cookie | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| gluck_session | Keeps you logged in during your visit | Strictly necessary |
| gluck_auth | Verifies your account credentials | Strictly necessary |
| gluck_sec | Fraud and abuse protection | Strictly necessary |
| gluck_lang | Remembers your language choice | Functional |
| gluck_prefs | Saves display preferences | Functional |
| gluck_stats | Aggregated site usage statistics | Analytics |
| gluck_ads | Measures campaign performance | Marketing |
Functional, Analytics and Marketing
Functional
Functional cookies remember your settings: language, game filters, whether you have dismissed a notice, and your last-played games so you can pick up where you left off. They are convenient rather than essential, and you can refuse them without losing core functions.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, which pages get traffic, where players drop off during sign-up, and how long sessions last. We use the figures to fix slow pages and improve navigation. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support our promotional campaigns. They measure whether an ad you saw led to a deposit or a bonus claim, and they limit how often you see the same creative. If you opt out, our 100% up to 500 AUD welcome offer and other promotions still work; we simply show you fewer targeted ads.
Cookies Set by Third Parties
Some cookies on our pages come from partners we work with, not from us directly. We allow three groups: analytics providers who measure site performance on our behalf, advertising networks that deliver and measure campaigns, and payment providers whose cookies keep your PayID, Visa or Bitcoin transactions secure during checkout.
We review the list of permitted third parties regularly, and we do not grant access to categories beyond those three. Each provider is contractually restricted to the purpose it was engaged for.
How You Control Preferences
On our site
Blocking strictly necessary cookies means you cannot log in, deposit or play at Gluck Casino. Blocking functional cookies loses your saved preferences, while blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay.

How Long We Keep Them
Each category has a set lifespan. Session cookies are deleted the moment you close your browser, while the others persist for a fixed period after your last visit.
| Category | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session only | Not available |
| Functional | 30 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Analytics | 90 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | 365 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
When We Update This Policy
We review this policy whenever we add a new cookie category or a new third party. If a change materially affects your privacy, we post a notice on the site and update the banner so you can review your choices again before the new cookies load. Last reviewed 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play at Gluck Casino without any cookies?
No. Strictly necessary cookies handle login, deposits and game sessions, so the site cannot function without them. All other categories are optional.
How do I change my cookie choices later?
Use the cookie settings link in our site footer. It reopens the same panel as the first-visit banner, and your new choices apply immediately.
Do you sell my cookie data?
No. We use analytics and marketing data ourselves and with contracted providers for the three permitted purposes only. We do not sell it.
Do cookies store my payment details?
No. Payment provider cookies only secure the transaction in progress. Card and wallet details are processed by the payment providers, not stored in cookies.
