What is stored on your device
Despite the name this page has to carry, the pages themselves do not write a cookie. The three values below are held in the browser's local storage, which stays on your device, can be read only by this site, and disappears when you clear the site's data. None of them contains a name, an email address, an account, a payment detail or an identifier that follows you anywhere.
| Stored value | What it holds | Why it exists |
|---|---|---|
pc_cookie | Your answer to the notice at the bottom of the screen: accept, or essential only. | So the notice appears once instead of on every page you open. |
pc_geo | A two-letter country code and country name, as returned by the lookup described below. | So the availability badge above the comparison table reads correctly, and the lookup runs once per browser rather than once per page. |
pc_promo | The time a promotional panel was last shown or closed, as a number. | So a panel you closed stays closed and no panel is shown again for at least twelve hours. |
That is the complete list. The site loads no third-party script, no advertising pixel, no social widget and no embedded video, and the fonts are served from this domain rather than from an outside font service. There is nothing on any page that asks you to type anything, which is why the list is this short.
The country lookup, and what it sends
The badge on the comparison table says which country the table is being shown for. The server renders Australia by default. To avoid stating that for someone who is clearly somewhere else, the page makes a single request to an outside lookup service, ipwho.is, and asks it for two fields only: a country code and a country name.
Like any request your browser makes, it carries your IP address to the service receiving it, which is how a country can be worked out at all. Nothing else goes with it: not the page you are reading, not a reference to this site's storage, not anything you have typed, because there is nowhere on the site to type. The answer is written into pc_geo so the request is not repeated on every page, and the service's own handling of what it receives is governed by its terms rather than ours.
If the request fails, is blocked by your browser or is refused by an extension, the page keeps the Australian default and everything else works exactly as before. What the site does and does not do with data more generally is set out on the privacy page.
Traffic statistics
Aggregate measurement, where it is switched on, counts page views and the site that referred you. It receives no name, email address or payment detail, because the site never asks for any of those. No advertising or profiling tag is used, nothing here builds a profile of you, and nothing follows you to another site. If a measurement tag is added later, it will appear in the table above with the values it stores, and the notice will be reset so the choice is asked again.
What happens when you open an operator's site
The buttons beside each row in the table point at an address on this domain, which then forwards you to the operator. The forwarding step exists so a button can never send you to a different operator from the one in the row it sits under. It carries the row's offer identifier and nothing about you.
Once the operator's own site opens, you have left ours and this policy stops applying. That company sets its own cookies, runs its own measurement and publishes its own policies, and it is worth reading them the same way you would read the wagering line in a bonus. The operator relationships behind those buttons are described on the about page.
How to refuse, and how to clear what is already stored
- 01
Choose Essential only on the notice
The notice appears on a first visit with two buttons. Essential only records that single choice in
pc_cookieand nothing further is added on that basis. - 02
Clear this site's data in your browser
In the site settings behind the padlock in the address bar, clearing data for this site removes all three values at once. The next visit starts from nothing and the notice returns.
- 03
Block storage for this site
Every current browser can refuse local storage per site. With it blocked, the badge keeps the Australian default, the notice reappears each visit and no value can be written. Every page, table and comparison still works.
- 04
Use a private window
Nothing survives the window closing. This is the simplest way to read the site with no trace left in the browser at all.
Nothing on the site depends on it
There is no feature behind these three values. Refusing them costs you a notice that reappears and a badge that shows Australia rather than your own country, and nothing else. The comparison table, the terms under each row and every guide behave identically.
Changes to this policy
If what the site stores changes, this page changes with it, and the date in the footer moves. A change that involves a new value in your browser or a new outside service resets the notice, so the choice is put to you again rather than assumed from the last visit. Questions about anything on this page go through the contact page, and the limits of the information published across the site are on the disclaimer.
