This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how FastPayPokies uses them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Last updated: 30 April 2026
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give website operators useful information about how their sites are being used.
Cookies serve several important functions:
Cookies can be either "session cookies" (which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually). Cookies can also be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a different domain than the one you are visiting).
FastPayPokies uses cookies responsibly and transparently. We only use cookies that serve a legitimate purpose: ensuring our Website works correctly, understanding how visitors use our site so we can improve it, and supporting our affiliate business model that funds our independent casino reviews and testing.
FastPayPokies uses three main categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose. Below is a detailed explanation of each category.
