The categories of cookies used by ed888 include: strictly necessary cookies (required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled); performance cookies (aggregate analytics to help us understand usage patterns); and functionality cookies (to remember your language and display preferences). We do not currently use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, ed888 will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay where required by law.
