Cookie Notice

Our site uses cookies to remember your preferences and track how you navigate the pages. This notice explains what cookies we set here, why, and how to manage them in your browser settings.

The cookies this site deploys

We use a mix of session and persistent cookies to keep the site working and to understand how readers use it. Session cookies live only while you browse and disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for months to help us recognize you on future visits and remember settings like your preferred language or whether you’ve dismissed notifications. We also rely on third-party cookies from analytics and content delivery services that we rely on to monitor traffic patterns and serve resources efficiently. Tracking pixels embedded in some pages collect anonymized data on how readers interact with our content.

Managing cookies through your browser

Every major browser—Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and others—lets you control cookies without visiting any website’s settings page. You can clear all cookies from this site right now, block new cookies before they’re set, or allow certain types while rejecting others. The exact steps vary slightly between browsers, but all of them offer cookie controls in their preferences or privacy sections. If you block all cookies, some features of the site may not work as intended: for example, your preferred theme (dark or light) won’t be remembered. Disabling third-party cookies alone won’t prevent us from using first-party analytics, but it will stop some external tools from tracking you across multiple sites. Most readers find that simply clearing cookies periodically strikes a good balance between functionality and privacy.

Help resources for Australian readers

If you have concerns about your online privacy or need advice on managing your personal data, several organisations in Australia offer free guidance. Lifeline (13 11 14) and MensLine Australia (1300 78 9 9 78) can point you to resources if gambling-related issues are affecting your wellbeing. The national Gambling Helpline (1800 858 858) operates 24 hours and connects you to counselling and support. BetStop is a free national self-exclusion register that lets you block your own access to phone and online gambling services.
