bet-r-australia.com uses cookies. This page sets out which ones, what they do, how long they last and how to turn them off. We cover the Australian bookmaker betr as an outside observer — we do not accept bets, hold player funds or run betting accounts, so the cookies here are far simpler than those you will meet on a wagering platform.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. On your next visit the browser hands it back, which is how a site remembers that you have already dismissed a notice or which page you were reading. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser. Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them. We treat related technologies — local storage and analytics scripts — under the same rules described below.

What our analytics actually see
Analytics tells us that a page was read 400 times last week, that most readers arrived from a search engine, and that roughly seven in ten were on a phone. It does not tell us who you are. We do not upload names, email addresses or betting activity into analytics, and we do not attempt to match visits to individuals. Google’s own handling of that data is described in the Google privacy policy. More on how we handle personal information is set out separately.
Cookies on betr.com.au
Once you leave this site and open the operator’s platform, you are on betr infrastructure and their cookie and privacy terms apply, not ours. Those cookies do more work than ours: keeping you logged in, holding a bet slip together between pages, applying deposit limits and supporting fraud checks. Nothing we set travels across with you, and we receive no information back about what you do there.
Turning cookies off
Every major browser lets you block or clear cookies, either site by site or across the board:
Blocking analytics costs you nothing — the site reads exactly the same. Blocking essential cookies may mean notices reappear on every page load. Browser-level signals such as Global Privacy Control are honoured where your browser sends them.
Changes to this policy
We review this policy when our tooling changes and update it in place, so check back if cookies matter to you. Questions go to [email protected]. Related reading: our full betr review and the rules for using this site.
