INFORMATION

Cookie Policy

This policy explains the types of browser storage technologies that may be used on GoldenArcadeAU.com and how you can control optional categories.

Last updated: 26 September 2026

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small data files that a website can ask a browser to store on a device. Similar browser technologies, including local storage, can also remember settings or information between page views and visits.

Some browser storage is necessary to provide a requested function, while other categories may be optional. This policy explains how GoldenArcadeAU separates those categories and how visitors can change their choices.

2. Why We Use Browser Storage

GoldenArcadeAU uses browser storage to support website operation, remember age confirmation, preserve cookie choices and improve the consistency of the browsing experience.

Where optional technologies are enabled, they may also be used to understand website performance, remember non-essential preferences or measure communications. The exact use depends on the categories selected through the cookie preference interface.

3. Essential Technologies

Essential technologies support functions that are required for the website to operate as requested. They can include storage used to remember whether the age gate has been completed and whether a visitor has saved cookie choices.

Because these technologies support core website functions, they remain available even when optional categories are declined. Blocking all site storage in the browser may prevent the website from remembering these choices.

4. Analytics

Analytics technologies may be used to understand how visitors move through the website, which pages are viewed, how long pages take to load and whether errors occur. This information can help identify usability and performance issues.

Optional analytics are controlled through the cookie preference interface. When analytics are not enabled, the website should continue to provide its core informational content without relying on analytics storage.

5. Preference Technologies

Preference technologies can remember optional choices that improve convenience but are not required for the website to function. Examples may include interface choices or non-essential display preferences.

If the preference category is turned off, optional settings may not persist between visits and the website may return to its default presentation.

6. Marketing Technologies

Marketing technologies may be used to understand the effectiveness of permitted communications or campaigns and to support relevant promotional messaging. They are treated as optional and can be declined through the preference controls.

GoldenArcadeAU does not require marketing cookies in order to access the core venue information on the website.

7. Local Storage Used by GoldenArcadeAU

The website currently uses browser local storage for two core preferences:

goldenArcadeAgeVerified — remembers that the visitor confirmed they are 18 or older.
goldenArcadeCookiePreferences — remembers the cookie categories selected through the preference controls.

Local storage remains on the device until it is cleared by the browser, removed through site-data controls or replaced when a visitor changes a stored preference.

8. External Resources

The website may load technical resources from external providers, including web fonts, icon libraries, mapping libraries and map tiles. When a browser requests a resource from another provider, that provider may receive technical information required to deliver the resource, such as an IP address and browser request details.

External services operate under their own privacy and technical practices. Visitors can use browser privacy controls, content-blocking settings or network controls where they wish to limit connections to external resources.

9. How Consent Works

On a first visit, GoldenArcadeAU presents cookie choices after the age-confirmation step. Visitors can accept all optional categories, keep only essential storage or open the detailed settings panel to choose categories individually.

Essential storage is shown as always enabled because it supports the preference and access functions requested by the visitor. Optional categories are saved only according to the selection made in the settings interface.

10. Retention

Browser storage remains for the period set by the relevant technology or until it is cleared. The local preferences used by this website are intended to remain available so the browser can remember the visitor's choices across visits.

Clearing browser data, using private-browsing modes or changing browser profiles may remove stored choices and cause the website to ask for them again.

11. Browser Controls

Most modern browsers allow users to inspect, block or delete cookies and local site data. These controls are usually available in privacy, security or site-data settings.

Blocking essential storage may cause age confirmation or cookie preferences to be requested more often. Blocking third-party resources may also affect maps, fonts, icons or other externally supplied website features.

12. Privacy Signals and Device Settings

Browsers and devices may offer privacy signals, tracking-protection features or content-blocking tools. Their behaviour differs between products and versions. GoldenArcadeAU's own preference panel remains the primary way to manage the optional categories described in this policy.

You can also combine website choices with your browser's privacy settings where you want stricter control over storage or third-party network requests.

14. Changes to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when website technologies or browser-storage practices change. The current version is published on this page with the date of the latest update.
