Our Cookie Policy
This page sets out every cookie we place on silversands-aud.com, why it is there, how long it stays and what you can switch off. We wrote it in plain language so you can make an informed choice in a couple of minutes.
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. Each one holds a name, a value and an expiry date. When you return, your browser sends the cookie back to us so we know, for example, that you are already logged in and do not need to enter your password again.
Think of a cookie as a numbered cloakroom ticket. You hand it over, we read it, and it tells us something specific about your last visit. Nothing more. They cannot access other files on your device, install software or read your emails.
Cookies We Set on This Site
We sort every cookie on silversands-aud.com into four categories. You can accept or refuse all but the first through the banner shown on your first visit.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and keep you safe. Session cookies hold your login state between pages, authentication cookies keep you signed in, and security cookies protect deposits and withdrawals against cross-site request forgery. Without them you simply cannot log in or play for real money, so we place them without asking.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices: the language you picked (English, Español or Français), your odds display format, whether you muted the game sounds, and your last deposit method so the cashier screen opens pre-filled. Refusing these means re-entering your preferences each visit.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to count visits, see which pages players leave quickly and measure how long a session lasts. The data is aggregated: we see patterns, not identities. These cookies show us, say, that 200 of our 300 games get 80% of play, which tells us what to promote. You can decline them in the banner.
Marketing and retargeting
Marketing cookies let us show Silversands Casino offers to people who visited but did not sign up, and to remind existing players about promotions such as our weekly 20% cashback. If you opt out, you will still see generic ads, just fewer of them, and none tied to your previous visits.
null
Here is the full breakdown at a glance.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example names | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, security, session | sid, auth_token, csrf_id | Session to 30 days | No (site cannot work without them) |
| Functional | Language, sound, preferences | lang, pref_currency, ui_theme | 90 days | Yes, via banner |
| Analytics | Aggregated visit statistics | _ga, _gid | Up to 365 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting, promo ads | _fbp, IDE | Up to 90 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
Third Parties We Permit
Some cookies on our pages are set by partners whose services we embed, not by us. We allow three categories, and each partner works under its own privacy rules as well as ours.
Analytics providers measure traffic and game performance across our roughly 300 games. Ad networks deliver our promotional banners and retargeting campaigns. Payment providers set cookies during deposits and withdrawals through methods like Visa, Skrill, MiFinity and crypto wallets so transactions can be verified and completed securely.
We do not permit third parties to use cookies on our site for any purpose we have not listed here. If a partner changes what its cookies do, we review it before the cookies stay live.
How You Control Cookies
On our site
When you first open silversands-aud.com, a cookie banner appears before anything is loaded except strictly necessary cookies. You can press Accept All, reject everything except the essentials, or open granular settings and toggle analytics and marketing separately. You can reopen those settings any time from the link in the footer of every page, and your choice is stored on your device.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in a few taps:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, then block or delete.
- Safari (iOS and macOS): Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then choose Standard or Strict tracking protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then block or clear.
What happens if you block
Block everything and the trade-offs are simple. Strictly necessary cookies blocked means no login, no deposits, no play. Functional cookies blocked means your language and settings reset every visit. Analytics and marketing cookies blocked costs you nothing in functionality; the site works exactly the same, you just see fewer tailored offers.
How Long We Keep Them
Every cookie has a fixed lifespan, after which your browser deletes it automatically. Nothing we place lasts forever.
Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Login cookies persist for 30 days so you stay signed in across visits. Functional preferences last 90 days. Analytics cookies run up to 365 days, and marketing cookies up to 90 days. Deleting cookies yourself, through your browser or our settings panel, removes them immediately regardless of expiry.
| Category | Persistence |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session up to 30 days |
| Functional | 90 days |
| Analytics | Up to 365 days |
| Marketing | Up to 90 days |
When We Update This Policy
Cookie practices change when we add partners or features, so we review this policy regularly. If we make a material change, we post a notice on the site before it takes effect and update the date on this page. Minor clarifications go live without a separate notice. Questions about anything here? Our live chat runs 24/7, or email [email protected] and we will answer within one business day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cookies let you see my personal details?
No. Cookies on silversands-aud.com hold technical identifiers and preferences, not identity documents or payment details. Those are stored on our secure servers under our privacy policy, not in cookies.
Can I play at Silversands Casino with all cookies blocked?
Not with strictly necessary cookies blocked. You need them to log in, deposit and play. Analytics and marketing cookies are fully optional and refusing them changes nothing about gameplay.
How do I change my cookie choice after accepting?
Use the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Your new choice takes effect immediately, though cookies already stored are deleted at that point.
Do you sell cookie data to advertisers?
No. We never sell your data. Ad networks place cookies to show our own promotions, not to trade your information.
