In this cookie policy:
- "randomdraws" means the business Trade Promotions and Lotteries Pty Ltd (ACN 601 297 330); and

Our website cookie policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third parties we may partner with may use cookies on our service, and your choices regarding cookies and further information about cookies.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your computer or electronic device (such as mobile/cell) when you access our website. Similar technologies include action tags, web beacons, local shared objects and single-pixel gifs.
The cookie allows our website to "remember" your preferences and actions over time, and store information about them. This may make your next visit to our website easier and the service more relevant to you.
Cookies set by us are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by external parties are called “third party cookies”. The third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website. This may include advertising, interactive content and website analytics. The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your device when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.
We use session cookies as well as persistent cookies.
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used to remember you during your visit. They expire when you close your web browser.
Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and remain on your device even after you close your browser or restart your device. We use these types of cookies to analyse user behaviour so we can establish visit patterns. This in turn allows us to understand our users and improve our website functionality. These persistent cookies also allow us to potentially serve you with targeted advertising and to measure the effectiveness of this advertising.
Broadly, there are four types of cookie:
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to make a website operational and enable features that users have specifically asked for. Without use of these cookies, the features of the website can’t function.
Performance cookies collect anonymous information about users for the purpose of assessing the performance of a website. Common applications that are relevant include Google Analytics.
Functionality cookies automatically remember choices that users have previously made to improve their experience next time they visit a website. For example, where users select their preferred settings and layout.
Targeting or Advertising cookies are similar to performance cookies, in that they collect information about users’ behaviour. However, this information is then used at individual user level to advertise services to users based on the behavioural information collected.

We use cookies and/or similar technologies on our website for the following purposes:
- To enable certain functions of the prize draw service and other services
- To provide website analytics
- To store your preferences

The exception is where the cookie is essential in order for us to provide you with a service you have requested, or essential to the inherent functionality of the website (e.g to enable you to store information when using the draw wizard and/or to use our purchase process).
Where we wish to use cookies that require your consent you will be asked whether you consent to the use of cookies.
