Our Cookie Policy
This page explains which cookies riviera-aud.com uses, why we set them, and how you stay in control. We keep it short and plain, no legal jargon.
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that our site places on your device when you visit. Each one stores a snippet of information, such as a session number or your language choice, and sends it back to us (or to the partner that set it) on your next visit.
We use them to keep you logged in, remember your preferences and understand how our pages perform. Without cookies, every click would feel like your first visit: no saved login, no chosen currency, no game history. Cookies never read files off your computer and cannot install anything.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. They handle your login session, verify your identity when you open a game or request a withdrawal, and protect our platform against fraud and automated abuse. A cookie such as PHPSESSID or riviera_session carries your session ID; security cookies such as __cf_bm help block malicious traffic. Necessary cookies run from the moment you land on riviera-aud.com and cannot be switched off from within the site, because the casino simply cannot operate without them.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have already made: your language, your preferred currency (AUD by default for Australian players), sound settings in game lobbies and the last games you opened. They save you clicking through the same options every session. Turning them off will not break the site, but you will lose that convenience.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to see, in aggregated form, which pages players visit, where they drop off and how long sessions last. This tells us which games to feature and where the site feels slow or confusing. The data is anonymised and reported as totals, never tied to your name or balance.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support our promotional work. They let us measure whether a bonus campaign reached the right audience and limit how often you see the same ad. If you grabbed our 100% up to 3,200 AUD welcome package after clicking one of our ads, a marketing cookie is how we know that click worked. These cookies are only set with your consent.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary (riviera_session) | Login, authentication, fraud protection | Session | No, required for the site |
| Functional (lang_pref) | Language, currency and display preferences | 90 days | Yes, via browser settings |
| Analytics (_ga style) | Aggregated site usage statistics | Up to 365 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing (_fbp style) | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Up to 90 days | Yes, consent-based |
Third Party Cookies We Allow
Some cookies on our pages belong to partners, not to us. We allow three categories, each under a written agreement: analytics providers that measure our traffic, advertising networks that deliver and measure our promotional campaigns, and payment providers that confirm your deposits and withdrawals safely.
Payment partners set cookies only during a transaction, so your PayID, card or crypto payment can be verified and you return to the correct account afterwards. Third-party cookies follow their own policies, which we link in the cookie banner, and you can reject the analytics and advertising ones without affecting your ability to play.
How You Manage Your Preferences
On our site
The first time you visit riviera-aud.com, our cookie banner appears. You can accept everything, reject everything except strictly necessary cookies, or open the settings and pick categories one by one. You can reopen that panel at any time from the footer link labelled Cookie Settings and change your mind as often as you like.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies outright. Here is where to look.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies breaks core functions: you may not stay logged in, game rounds may fail to load, and withdrawals cannot be verified. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on play; we simply see less about how the site is used and show you fewer relevant offers. Deleting cookies logs you out and resets your saved preferences.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Each cookie carries its own expiry. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a fixed period, after which your device deletes them automatically. Here is the retention we apply at Riviera Casino.
| Category | Retention | Removed |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session to 30 days | On browser close or expiry |
| Functional | Up to 90 days | On expiry or manual deletion |
| Analytics | Up to 365 days | On expiry or opt-out |
| Marketing | Up to 90 days | On consent withdrawal or expiry |
Changes to This Policy
When we add, remove or change a cookie category, we update this page and bump the version noted at the top of the document. If a change affects your choices materially, we show the cookie banner again on your next visit so you can review and confirm your preferences. Questions about any of this? Our live chat runs 24/7 and we answer email at [email protected], usually within a day.
Frequently asked questions
Do cookies affect my bonus or withdrawals?
No. Cookies never touch your balance, bonus eligibility or withdrawal limits. They only carry session and preference data.
Can I play at Riviera Casino with all cookies blocked?
Not fully. Strictly necessary cookies handle your login, game sessions and payment verification, so blocking them breaks play. Analytics and marketing cookies can be safely rejected.
How do I withdraw consent after accepting?
Open Cookie Settings from our footer at any time and switch categories off, or clear cookies in your browser. Both take effect immediately.
Do you sell my cookie data?
No. We use cookie data ourselves and share it only with the analytics, advertising and payment partners named in the banner, under strict agreements.
