Cookie Policy
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so it can recognise your device between pages and visits. We also use similar technologies — principally local storage, which works like a cookie but stays on your device until cleared and is never sent with network requests. Because these identifiers can be linked to you, Australian privacy law treats them as personal information; this policy and our Privacy Policy together explain how we handle them.
2. How our consent mechanism works
On your first visit, a consent banner offers three equally prominent choices: Accept all, Necessary only, and Manage, which lets you switch each optional category on or off individually. Your choice is stored (in bqb_consent_v1) and respected on every page. Optional cookies are not set until you consent, and you can change your mind at any time by clearing the stored choice in your browser — the banner will reappear on your next visit.
3. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary — the site cannot operate safely without these: session security, the 18+ age gate, and the record of your consent choice. They do not require consent.
- Functional — conveniences you'd miss: keeping your bet slip between pages. Set only with your consent.
- Analytics / performance — anonymous statistics that show us which pages work and which confuse people. Set only with your consent.
- Advertising / targeting — measurement of our own advertising campaigns. We do not run third-party ad networks on this site. Set only with your consent.

First-party entries above are the actual technical names used by this site. Third-party names are set by the named provider only after your consent to that category.
5. Browser controls
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies and local storage: look for "Privacy and security" in Chrome and Edge, "Privacy & Security" in Firefox, or "Privacy" in Safari's settings. Blocking strictly necessary items will prevent the age gate and session security from working, so parts of the site may not function. Deleting bqb_consent_v1 resets your consent choice and the banner will ask again.
