This Cookie Policy explains how KangarooOdds ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies when you visit our website (KangarooOdds.com) and use our sports betting platform. Please read this policy carefully to understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other electronic device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work securely and efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and a personalized experience.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
2. Why We Use Cookies
As a highly dynamic sports betting platform, KangarooOdds relies on cookies for several critical functions. We use cookies to:
- Keep your session secure and ensure you remain logged in while placing bets.
- Remember your preferences, such as your preferred odds format (Decimal, Fractional, or American) and time zone.
- Track whether you have completed the mandatory 18+ age verification process.
- Analyze how users navigate our betting markets to improve site speed and layout.
- Deliver personalized promotions and relevant sporting events based on your betting history and preferences.
- Prevent fraudulent activities and ensure compliance with Australian gambling regulations.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Our platform utilizes both "first-party cookies" (set directly by KangarooOdds) and "third-party cookies" (set by our partners and service providers). These are categorized as follows:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the KangarooOdds platform. Without these cookies, the website would not function properly, and you would not be able to log in, deposit funds, or place bets. They include:
- Authentication Cookies: To identify you once you have logged in.
- Security Cookies: To protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks and detect suspicious login attempts.
- Compliance Cookies: To record your acceptance of our age verification overlay and Terms & Conditions.
Note: You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies as they are required to provide our core services safely.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on a specific sports market, and if they receive error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymized. We use tools like Google Analytics to help us understand site traffic and improve the performance of our platform.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can be used to:
- Remember your preferred language or region.
- Save your bet slip selections temporarily if you navigate away from the page.
- Remember your preferred layout for displaying live odds.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements and promotional offers that are relevant to you and your interests. For example, if you frequently bet on AFL matches, we may use these cookies to show you specific AFL promotions or boosted odds on your homepage. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies may be placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics, deliver advertisements, and integrate social media features. Our primary third-party partners include:
- Google Analytics: For platform performance monitoring.
- Payment Gateways: Specific cookies used by our secure banking partners to facilitate safe deposits and withdrawals.
- Live Chat Support: Cookies required to maintain the state of your conversation with our customer support agents.
We do not control the setting of these third-party cookies. We recommend you check the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.

If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our website, but your access to some functionality and areas (such as maintaining an active login session to place bets) will be severely restricted.
