Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files a website stores on a device to remember information between visits, such as whether a player is logged in or which display settings were last chosen. Boomerang Casino uses cookies and similar local storage technologies to keep the site working correctly, understand how pages are used, and, where a player has agreed, tailor offers to their interests. This policy explains the categories of cookies in use, what each one does, and how to control them through browser settings.

What a Cookie Actually Does

A cookie itself does not access files on a device or read personal documents; it stores a small piece of data, often just an identifier, that the site can read back on a later visit. Some cookies expire when the browser tab closes, known as session cookies, while others persist for a set period so a return visit still recognises previous preferences, known as persistent cookies. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a comparable way and are covered under the same principles in this policy.

Types of Cookies Used

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the site to function at a basic level and cannot be switched off without breaking core features. They handle tasks such as keeping a player logged into their account between page loads, remembering items in a session such as an in-progress deposit, and supporting account security by detecting unusual login patterns. Because these cookies are necessary for the site to operate, they do not require separate consent.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed most often, how long a visit lasts, and where visitors tend to drop off. This data is used to spot broken pages, slow-loading sections or confusing navigation, and to prioritise fixes. Analytics data is generally reviewed in aggregate rather than tied to an identifiable individual.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices a player has made to improve the experience on a return visit, such as a preferred currency display, language setting, or whether a promotional banner has already been dismissed. Disabling these cookies does not break the site, but preferences will need to be reset on each new visit.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies help measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and avoid showing the same offer repeatedly to someone who has already seen it. They may also support tailoring which bonus or promotion is highlighted based on past interest. These cookies are optional and can be declined without affecting the ability to play or manage an account.

Quick Summary

  • Essential – required, cannot be disabled, no separate consent needed.
  • Analytics – measures site usage in aggregate, optional.
  • Functional – remembers preferences, optional but improves convenience.
  • Marketing – supports promotion targeting, optional.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by services embedded on the site rather than by the operator directly, for example a game provider's software or an analytics platform. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie practices, and the categories above reflect the function each cookie serves regardless of which party sets it.

Consent and How to Manage Cookies

On a first visit, a banner or account setting allows a player to accept all cookies or adjust the categories individually, with essential cookies remaining active by default since the site cannot run without them. Consent choices can be revisited and changed at any point, and cookies already stored can be cleared through the browser at any time.

Most browsers allow cookies to be managed directly through settings, typically found under a privacy or security section:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data, where cookies can be viewed, blocked or deleted for specific sites.
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data, offering options to block third-party cookies or clear data on browser close.
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy, which includes options to prevent cross-site tracking and manage stored website data.
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Blocking all cookies, including essential ones, will prevent core account features such as staying logged in, so a partial approach, keeping essential cookies while limiting analytics and marketing cookies, tends to work best for players who want more privacy without losing basic functionality.

Mobile Browsers and Apps

The site works through a mobile browser on Android and iOS without a dedicated app download, so cookie handling on mobile follows the same browser-level settings described above rather than a separate in-app permission system.

Changes to This Policy

As cookie categories or the tools used on the site evolve, this policy may be updated to reflect the current setup. The version published on this page describes current practice, and continuing to use the site after an update is treated as awareness of the current cookie practices in place.

Why Cookies Matter for Account Security

Beyond convenience, certain cookies play a direct role in keeping an account safe. A session cookie confirms that a request to view account details or authorise a withdrawal is genuinely coming from the device that logged in, rather than from an intercepted link or a replayed request. Security-related cookies may also flag when a login attempt looks unusual, for example a sudden change in device or location, and trigger an extra verification step before access is granted. Turning off essential cookies removes this layer of protection along with the ability to stay logged in, which is why they sit outside the optional categories described above.

How Long Cookies Are Kept

Retention periods vary by cookie type. Session cookies clear automatically once a browser tab or window closes. Persistent cookies used for login convenience or saved preferences typically last from a few weeks up to several months, after which a player would need to log in again or reset a preference. Analytics and marketing cookies generally follow a similar window, with older data aggregated or discarded rather than kept indefinitely. Where a cookie is set by a third-party service embedded on the site, its retention period is controlled by that service rather than by the operator directly.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting that sends a signal requesting that a site limit tracking. There is no single technical standard that all websites and third-party services are required to honour for this signal, so its effect can vary. Adjusting the cookie categories described above through the site’s own consent settings, or through direct browser cookie controls, remains the more reliable way to limit analytics and marketing cookies specifically.

Practical Tip

Clearing cookies for the site occasionally, for example after using a shared or public computer, is good practice. Doing so logs the account out and removes saved preferences, but does not affect the account itself, which remains accessible with the usual login details on the next visit.

Questions About Cookies

Any question about how a specific cookie is used, or a request for help adjusting cookie preferences, can be sent through the 24/7 live chat or by email, both reachable via the about us and contact page.
