Cookie Policy for Australian Website Visitors
Last updated: 8 October 2026
Betting Guide AU ("we", "us", "our") operates the website bestshoppinglife.com (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the Site, and the choices you have.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. We and our service providers may also use similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, which are covered by this policy.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They enable core features such as security, session management, load balancing and remembering your consent preferences. The Site cannot operate properly without them, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.
Analytical cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors. This information is aggregated and used to improve the Site’s performance and content.
Marketing cookies
These cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners.
Your consent
Where required by Australian law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, and by the Spam Act 2003 in relation to direct marketing, we rely on your consent before setting non-essential cookies. When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject all non-essential cookies; or
- manage your preferences by category.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings panel or by clearing your browser cookies as described below. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Please note that marketing communications are only sent to persons who have consented to receive them. We do not send marketing materials to persons registered with BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. You can typically find these settings under "Preferences" or "Settings" — "Privacy" or "Privacy & Security". The exact steps depend on the browser you use:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site settings.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari (macOS and iOS): Preferences/Settings → Privacy.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working as intended.
