COOKIES POLICY

Last updated: 15 August 2025

PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

This document sets out how STG 4T PTY LTD (“STG 4T PTY LTD”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website at https://aussieluckyharbour.com (the “Website” or “Platform”) to provide a secure and functional user experience.

These technologies support performance monitoring, user preferences, analytics, and the delivery of relevant content and advertising. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to operate correctly, while others help improve usability or gather statistical data.

In certain cases, cookies may collect information that directly identifies an individual, or becomes personally identifiable when combined with other data. Any such information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles, and other applicable privacy and consumer protection laws.

This policy describes the categories of cookies in use, the purposes they serve, and the options available for managing them.

1. DEFINITION AND FUNCTION OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers and small data files placed on your device or browser when you access a website. They are used to verify identity, maintain session continuity, preserve user preferences, and facilitate lawful system operations.

Cookies may be issued directly by the website operator (first-party cookies) or by authorized third-party service providers (third-party cookies). First-party cookies are deployed directly by Aussie Lucky Harbour to deliver core Platform functionality. Third-party cookies are implemented by approved partners for advertising, analytics, or compliance operations. Depending on their configuration, cookies may persist only for the session or across multiple visits.

The cookies used on this Platform are classified as follows:

Type of Cookie Description
Session cookies Used for temporary data that expires when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies Remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.
First-party cookies Deployed by this website to deliver core Platform functionality.
Third-party cookies Implemented by approved partners for advertising and analytics.

All cookies are deployed in accordance with our obligations under Australian law, applicable privacy and data protection regulations, and internal information governance protocols.

2. PLATFORM APPLICATION OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

We use first- and third-party cookies for a variety of reasons to support secure, lawful, and efficient Platform operation. Some cookies are required for our Website to operate for technical reasons, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies allow us to track and target user interests to enhance the overall experience.

Our use of cookies and associated technologies includes:

  • Verifying registered users and managing access to protected areas of the Platform;
  • Facilitating the purchase, logging, and fulfillment of matched lottery tickets, including digital ticket generation and result notifications;
  • Supporting user account functionality such as login, deposit, withdrawal, and mandatory age verification in accordance with local gambling laws;
  • Detecting and preventing unauthorized access, suspicious activity, and potential misuse of Platform systems;
  • Enforcing legal and jurisdictional requirements, such as geo-blocking, currency localization, and content restrictions;
  • Collecting anonymized or pseudonymized performance data for internal analysis and diagnostics, such as session duration, page performance, and error tracking;
  • Enabling lawful advertising functions, including campaign measurement, affiliate tracking, and consent-based remarketing;
  • Recording and applying user cookie preferences via a Consent Management Platform (CMP) operating under IAB-compliant standards.

Cookies that are necessary for Platform functionality and compliance may be deployed without your explicit consent. Non-essential categories—such as analytics and marketing cookies—are subject to opt-in consent through our cookie banner and CMP interface.

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES DEPLOYED ON THE PLATFORM

Cookies deployed on this Platform are grouped into compliance-based categories, with each category defined by its function and legal basis. This structure is designed to provide transparency and help you understand the specific purpose of each cookie and how it contributes to our services. These categories reflect our commitment to complying with Australian privacy laws and digital advertising platform policies. This approach allows you to make informed decisions about your cookie preferences while supporting proper consent management.

Each category is described in more detail below.

Category Purpose and Legal Basis
Strictly Necessary Cookies Used for user authentication, age verification, fraud prevention, and session integrity.
Functional Cookies Enable enhanced usability by remembering user preferences, settings, and interface options.
Performance and Analytics Collect information on usage patterns, device types, and overall platform responsiveness.
Marketing and Affiliate Cookies Used for consent-based ad targeting, affiliate tracking, and personalised remarketing.
Unclassified Cookies Temporary cookies undergoing review for appropriate legal and technical categorisation.

Third-party cookies are subject to contractual and technical due diligence. We require all such partners to demonstrate privacy compliance, implement appropriate security controls, and—where applicable—ensure cross-border data transfers meet relevant international safeguards.

4. IMPLEMENTATION OF NON-COOKIE TRACKING METHODS

In addition to cookies, we deploy other technologies that perform similar or complementary functions to recognize and track visitors to our website. These technologies, sometimes referred to as web beacons, tracking pixels, or tags, are used to gather information about your interactions with our online content, measure the effectiveness of our services, and ensure our systems are operating efficiently.

These technologies include:

Technology Type Description
Tracking Pixels Used to record page impressions, ad views, and email interactions.
JavaScript Tags Code fragments that measure interactions and render dynamic content.
Local Storage Objects Browser-level storage for persistent user preferences and consent states.
Script-Based Analytics Client-side libraries used for runtime monitoring and event tracking.

These technologies are deployed for strictly defined, lawful purposes, including fraud mitigation, service optimisation, and marketing attribution. Their deployment is governed by our Consent Management Platform (CMP) and internal controls and is restricted to the minimum data footprint required for operational purposes.

Where such technologies contribute to the collection of personal information, they are subject to the same transparency, consent, and access obligations that apply to cookie-based data processing under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

5. USER CONTROL OF COOKIE CONSENT PREFERENCES

You have full control over how cookies are used on your device. Preferences can be managed through our on-site Cookie Consent Manager, which lets you accept or reject non-essential cookie categories in line with your privacy choices.

Essential cookies—those required for core functionality—cannot be disabled, as they are necessary to deliver key services and ensure platform security.

The Cookie Consent Manager is accessible via the initial banner or through a persistent link on our Website. If you decline certain cookies, you can still browse the Website, but some features or sections may not function properly. You can also adjust your browser settings to manage cookies at any time.

Our Consent Management Platform (CMP), which follows IAB standards, offers additional granular control. Through the CMP, you can:

  • Accept or reject specific categories of non-essential cookies;
  • View detailed information on each cookie, including provider, purpose, and expiry;
  • Modify or withdraw your consent at any time;
  • Automatically delete non-essential cookies upon withdrawal;
  • Store and retain your preferences across future visits using Consent Mode.

Your selections are securely saved within your browser and automatically reapplied unless cleared manually. Please note that disabling certain cookie types may reduce the functionality or availability of some services.

Where cookies involve the collection of personal information, your rights under applicable privacy laws remain unaffected. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of such information by contacting: support@aussieluckyharbour.com

6. BROWSER-LEVEL COOKIE AND SITE DATA MANAGEMENT

In addition to our on-site Consent Management Platform (CMP), you can manage cookies directly through your browser’s privacy settings. Most modern browsers provide tools to:

  • View, block, or delete cookies (individually or in bulk)
  • Disable third-party cookies independently from first-party cookies
  • Apply cookie rules to specific websites
  • Clear local storage and site-specific data
  • Set global or per-site cookie preferences

Browser-specific instructions are outlined below:

Browser Cookie Management Path
Chrome Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
Firefox Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
Safari Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Edge Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data
Brave Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
Opera Settings > Advanced > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Cookies and site data

Disabling or deleting essential cookies may impact the performance and security of the Platform. Features such as login sessions, age verification, or secure content access rely on these cookies to operate reliably.

7. USE OF FLASH COOKIES AND LOCAL STORAGE OBJECTS

We may occasionally use Flash Cookies, also known as Local Shared Objects (LSOs), to provide enhanced functionality and preserve user settings in Flash-based components. Unlike standard browser cookies, Flash Cookies are stored separately and cannot be managed through typical browser cookie settings.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Retain user consent preferences within Flash-enabled modules
  • Maintain state for interactive features requiring persistent data
  • Deliver embedded media with consistent playback settings

To manage or delete Flash Cookies, please visit the official Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager.

Important Note: Flash technology has been officially deprecated and is no longer supported by most modern browsers. As a result, we no longer rely on Flash for core functionality. Any Flash-based components that remain are optional, and where possible, fallback alternatives are provided using HTML5 or similar technologies to ensure accessibility and compatibility.

Please note that disabling Flash Cookies may limit access to certain legacy or multimedia features delivered via the Platform.

8. TARGETED ADVERTISING AND MARKETING TECHNOLOGIES

We partner with third-party advertising providers who may place cookies or similar technologies on your device to deliver targeted advertisements via our Platform. These technologies allow advertisers to present content that is more relevant to your interests, based on your activity across our site and others. They may also collect aggregated data to analyse ad performance and effectiveness.

Importantly, the data collected does not enable us or our partners to directly identify you—such as by name, phone number, or email—unless you voluntarily provide such information.

Advertising and tracking technologies used on the Platform are implemented in compliance with privacy laws, digital marketing standards, and platform-specific policies. They allow us to:

  • Serve personalised ads to users who have provided valid consent;
  • Track ad impressions, user engagement, and conversion performance;
  • Attribute traffic from affiliates, partners, and referral networks;
  • Run lawful remarketing campaigns to reach prior visitors;
  • Segment audiences using pseudonymised behavioural data;
  • Apply legal restrictions on age-based ad targeting and sensitive categories.

We currently work with recognised platforms and networks, including:

  • Google Ads, including Conversion Tracking and Remarketing;
  • Microsoft Ads with Universal Event Tracking (UET);
  • Meta Pixel for consent-based campaign delivery;
  • CookieYes CMP and other IAB TCF-compliant consent solutions.

We do not knowingly show personalised advertising to users under the age of 18. Our advertising practices fully comply with Google Ads and Microsoft Ads policies and explicitly exclude the use of sensitive personal data (e.g., health status, religion, political affiliation, biometric data, or sexual orientation) for targeting purposes.

We do not sell, lease, or share personal data with unrelated third parties for marketing. All ad-related data collection is pseudonymised or de-identified, subject to clear user consent, and governed by applicable privacy and digital advertising regulations.

9. REVISIONS AND UPDATES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may revise this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our cookie practices, regulatory obligations, or operational requirements. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made.

If we make any material changes—particularly those affecting your rights, data collection methods, or consent options—we will provide clear notice on the Platform. This may include account-based notifications, banner alerts, or other direct communication channels, as required by law.

We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to stay informed about our current use of cookies, tracking technologies, and your associated rights.

10. CONTACT DETAILS AND USER SUPPORT RESOURCES
