Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how UpcShovDown.com (operated in Australia by UPCOZ Pty Ltd) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login session and how you interact with the site. Cookies do not run programs and cannot be used to deliver viruses to your device.
Categories of cookies we use
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required to operate the website. They keep you signed in, store the contents of your bet slip during a visit, protect against session theft and fraud, and remember your cookie preferences. Without essential cookies, key functions such as signing in, placing bets and processing withdrawals would not work. Essential cookies cannot be turned off through our cookie preferences panel because the site cannot operate without them.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand which pages perform well, how visitors move through the site and where users encounter problems. We use this information in aggregated form to improve the site. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent and can be turned off at any time through the cookie preferences panel.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used, with your consent, to personalise permitted messages within our site and to measure the performance of campaigns we run on third-party platforms. We do not use marketing cookies to target customers who are registered on the National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop) or who have applied a self-exclusion through their UpcShovDown account.
Similar technologies
We also use technologies similar to cookies to operate and improve the website. These may include:
- Pixels and tags embedded in web pages and emails to help us understand interactions and campaign performance.
- Local storage and session storage in your browser, used to keep your bet slip and preferences during a visit.
- Server logs recording the date, time, IP address, request URL, response status, browser type and similar technical information about each request to our servers.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on UpcShovDown.com are set by third-party service providers who help us operate the site. These include:
- Identity verification, fraud prevention and anti-money-laundering providers.
- Payment processors and banking partners.
- Analytics, performance and error-tracking providers.
- Advertising platforms used for permitted marketing measurement.
Third-party providers are bound by contract to handle information for the purposes we have agreed and in line with applicable Australian privacy laws.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can review and change your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie preferences panel on the website. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies. Instructions are available in your browser's help documentation.
What happens if you block essential cookies
If you block essential cookies, parts of UpcShovDown.com will not work as intended. In particular, you may not be able to sign in to your account, hold a bet slip across pages, complete identity verification, deposit, withdraw or place a bet. We do not recommend blocking essential cookies if you intend to use UpcShovDown.com as an account holder.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Material changes will be notified through the website or by email where appropriate.
