Cookie Policy
This page describes the cookies and similar technologies this site uses, what each one does, how long it stays on your device, and how you can control or wipe them. The broader topic of personal data handling is covered separately on the Privacy Policy page; what you are reading here is the technical companion to that one. The site as a whole is described on the About page, with the flagship operator review on the Kingbet9 Casino homepage.
1. What a cookie is, briefly
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep on your device. The next time the same site loads, the browser hands the file back, letting the site recognise the visit, retain a setting, or count traffic. Cookies cannot run code on your machine, cannot read other files, and cannot identify you personally unless other information is already linked to them. Many things commonly labelled "cookies" today are in fact other browser-storage mechanisms (localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB) that work much the same way; for plain English on this page, "cookie" covers them all.
2. Categories of cookies used on this site
Three categories. They are presented to you on first visit through a consent banner, and you can revisit that choice at any time using the link in the site footer.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Make the site work: load the page, remember your cookie-banner choice, route traffic, block abuse. | No (legal basis: legitimate interest) |
| Analytics | Anonymous, aggregated traffic measurement: which pages are read, where readers arrive from, which links are clicked. | Yes |
| Affiliate tracking | Recognise that a click through to Kingbet9 (or any partner operator) originated from this site so the partnership can be credited. | Yes |
This site does not use advertising or remarketing cookies. There is no on-site display advertising, no programmatic ad network, and no pixel-tracking of readers across other sites. The funding model that supports the site is detailed on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
3. Specific cookies, third parties and lifetimes
The list below covers the cookies that may be set when you visit this site. Third-party cookies are set by services we rely on; full control over their behaviour rests with the third party, and links to their own policies are provided.
| Name | Set by | Category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
kb_consent | This site | Strictly necessary | Saves your cookie-banner choice so the banner does not reappear on every page load. | 12 months |
kb_session | This site | Strictly necessary | Anonymous session identifier used to load assets and rate-limit abusive traffic. | Until browser closes |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Aggregated traffic statistics: pages per session, traffic sources, average time on page. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. | 14 months |
kb_aff | This site | Affiliate tracking | Logs that a click on an outbound Kingbet9 link came from this site so the partnership is credited. | 30 days |
Third-party policies: Google Privacy & Terms covers Google Analytics. Kingbet9 and other partner sites set their own cookies once you click through; those are governed by the operator's own privacy policy, not by us.
4. How to control cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you block cookies, delete the ones already stored, or reject third-party cookies altogether. Official documentation:
You can also browse this site in your browser's private or incognito mode, which keeps cookies from being saved across sessions.
5. What happens if you decline non-essential cookies
The site keeps working normally. You can read every page, follow every internal link, and click through to Kingbet9. Three small differences appear: traffic statistics will not include your visit; if you click an affiliate link with affiliate tracking declined, the partnership cannot be credited (Kingbet9 still treats you, the user, in exactly the same way; only the commission to this site does not register); and the consent banner will reappear if you wipe your cookies, because the choice itself is stored in a cookie. The full editorial standards behind every page (including how affiliate links are flagged) sit on the Editorial Policy page, and the player-safety commitments are on the Responsible Gambling page.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
This site honours the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal: if your browser sends GPC, all non-essential cookies are blocked automatically and the consent banner is not shown. The older Do Not Track header has no agreed enforcement standard and is not relied on.
7. Updates to this policy
If the cookies on this site change, this page is updated and the "Last updated" date at the top is revised. Material changes (new categories, new third parties) come with a one-time consent banner refresh so existing visitors are asked again. Minor housekeeping changes (rewording, link updates) do not trigger a fresh consent prompt.
8. Questions and complaints
Questions about specific cookies on this site are best routed through the Contact page. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au handles complaints about Australian sites under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
