What cookies we set, why we set them, how long they last and how to turn the optional ones off.
Effective from 1 July 2026 · Last reviewed July 2026
1. Legal entity and contact
This policy is issued by UPCOZ PTY LTD (ABN 93621899634, ACN 621 899 634) of 101 Sheridan Street, CAIRNS QLD 4870, the operator of upcoz.co. Questions about cookies or privacy go to privacy@upcoz.co.
Effective date: 1 July 2026.
2. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. When you return, the browser sends it back, so the site can recognise the session and remember what you were doing. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses. Some are deleted when you close the browser (session cookies) and some remain for a set period (persistent cookies).
3. Similar technologies we use
- Local storage: browser storage that holds your bet slip and your cookie choice on this device. It is not sent to us with every request the way a cookie is.
- Pixels and tags: tiny transparent images or script tags that record that a page or message was opened. We use these only for advertising measurement, and only with your consent.
- Software development kits: not used on this site.
4. The cookies we set
Strictly necessary — always active
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| upcoz_session | Keeps you signed in and links requests to your account | Session |
| upcoz_csrf | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |

These cannot be switched off through this site, because the service cannot operate without them. They do not require consent under the Privacy Act or the telecommunications rules that apply to us.
Analytics — consent required
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for aggregated usage statistics | 13 months |
| _ga_<id> | Maintains the analytics session state | 13 months |
Analytics tells us which pages are used and where people get stuck. It is not used to identify you personally or to build a profile for advertising.
Advertising — consent required
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Measures whether an advertisement led to an account being opened | 90 days |
| IDE / test_cookie | Advertising measurement set by Google on its own domains | Up to 13 months |
Advertising cookies are never used to target a person who has self-excluded, who has asked not to receive marketing, or who is under 18. Australian advertising codes restrict where and when wagering advertising may appear, and those restrictions apply to us regardless of your cookie choice.
Functional — consent required
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| upcoz_prefs | Remembers optional preferences such as odds display format | 6 months |
5. Managing cookies on this site
The banner shown on your first visit lets you accept all, reject all, or choose categories. You can change that decision at any time:
Rejecting optional cookies does not reduce your access to any part of the site. Necessary cookies remain active.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies, including necessary ones, will prevent you from signing in or placing a bet.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
- Mobile: the same options appear under Settings in the browser app.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using the browser add-on published at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Browser Do Not Track signals are not standardised and we do not rely on them. Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a rejection of analytics and advertising cookies.
8. Changes
If we add or remove a cookie we update the tables above and the effective date. Where a change means new optional cookies, we ask for your consent again before setting them.
9. More information
