4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on future visits and remember certain preferences.
4.2 Cookies We Use
www.plbecs.com uses the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the website to function. These cannot be turned off. They include cookies that manage your session when navigating between pages (set by WordPress).
- Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about website traffic and user behaviour. This helps us improve content. Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat. IP anonymisation is enabled.
- Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click an affiliate link on our website, a cookie may be set by the destination platform (such as trafffers.com) to track whether you complete an action on their site. We receive a commission if you do. These cookies are set by third parties, not by www.plbecs.com, and are subject to those third parties' own privacy policies.
4.3 Managing Cookies
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics or affiliate cookies will not affect your ability to read content on this website. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect how certain page elements function.
Most browsers allow you to: view the cookies currently stored; delete individual cookies or all cookies; block cookies from specific websites; block all third-party cookies.
Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships
www.plbecs.com is an affiliate website. Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and take an action (such as registering at a casino). This comes at no additional cost to you.
When you click an affiliate link, you leave www.plbecs.com and are directed to a third-party website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or terms of any third-party website you visit through our links.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. Our reviews and comparisons are based on independent research and testing. We note our commercial relationships where required by applicable law and advertising standards.
The casinos and services featured on this website operate under offshore licences and are not regulated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). We recommend that readers review the terms and conditions of any casino or payment service before registering.
6. Third-Party Services
Our website uses the following third-party services, each of which may process data according to their own privacy policies:
- WordPress (Automattic Inc.): Our website is built on the WordPress platform. WordPress may process technical data for hosting and security purposes. Privacy policy: automattic.com/privacy
- Google Analytics (Google LLC): Used for anonymised traffic analysis. Data may be transferred to Google servers in the United States. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- trafffers.com: Our affiliate link platform. When you click an affiliate link, this service tracks referral activity. We do not control what data trafffers.com collects. Refer to their privacy policy for details.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party service before interacting with it. www.plbecs.com is not responsible for data collected by third parties through their own platforms.
7. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable steps to protect any personal information submitted to us — for example, through a contact form — from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure.
Our website uses HTTPS encryption. Contact form submissions are stored within our WordPress installation or transmitted to our email. We do not store credit card numbers, payment details, or gambling account information of any kind — we have no access to these.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we use appropriate technical measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to us.
We retain contact enquiry data only for as long as necessary to respond to your query and for a reasonable period thereafter, after which it is deleted.
8. Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) govern how personal information is handled in Australia. Your rights include:
- Right to access: You may request access to personal information we hold about you. Because we collect minimal personal data, this is typically limited to contact form submissions.
- Right to correction: If information we hold about you is inaccurate, you can request that we correct it.
- Right to complain: If you believe we have handled your personal information in a way that breaches the APPs, you can make a complaint to us first. If unresolved, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 12. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
9. International Visitors and GDPR
Although this website is primarily directed at Australian readers, visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA) may also access our content. If you are located in the EEA, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to data portability and the right to erasure.
The legal basis for processing automatically collected data (analytics) is our legitimate interest in understanding how the website is used. We do not rely on consent for analytics because Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation and does not collect personally identifiable information.
For enquiries from EEA residents regarding GDPR rights, please contact us at the address in Section 12.
10. Children's Privacy
This website contains information about online casino gambling. It is intended for adults aged 18 years and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
We support responsible gambling. If gambling is causing problems for you or someone you know, contact Gambling Help Online at gamblinghelponline.org.au or call 1800 858 858.
