Stake Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Stake Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use its website and related online services in Australia. It describes what these technologies do, the categories that may be used, and the choices available to you.
Cookies help Stake Casino operate its platform, remember selected preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and present more relevant information. This policy should be read together with the Stake Casino Privacy Policy and applicable website terms. Stake Casino services are intended for people aged 18 and over.
Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or another internet-connected device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognise a device and retain limited information about a visit. They do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name.
Stake Casino may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage, and device-related identifiers. These tools can perform functions similar to cookies, such as remembering settings, measuring activity, or supporting security controls.
Cookies may be either:
- Session cookies, which remain on your device only while your browser is open and are removed after the session ends.
- Persistent cookies, which stay on your device for a defined period or until you delete them through your browser settings.
- First-party cookies, which are placed by Stake Casino or a service operating on its behalf.
- Third-party cookies, which are placed by another provider whose technology is used on the website.
The information collected through cookies may include browser type, device information, approximate location, pages visited, visit times, navigation actions, and technical identifiers. The information used will depend on the purpose of the specific cookie.
Cookie Categories Explained
Stake Casino groups cookies and similar technologies according to their primary purpose. A single cookie may support more than one function, but it will generally be assessed according to the main service it provides.
- Essential cookies support core website operations and security.
- Performance cookies help Stake Casino understand how the platform operates and how visitors use it.
- Functional cookies remember choices and improve convenience.
- Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns or make advertising more relevant.
The availability and use of particular cookie categories may change as the Stake Casino website, security systems, and digital services develop. Where a consent choice is presented, your selection will be applied to the relevant non-essential technologies.
Cookies Needed for Operation
Essential cookies are required for important parts of the Stake Casino website to function. They may help establish a secure session, maintain account access, support responsible platform operation, and protect the website from suspicious or unauthorised activity.
These cookies can also be used to:
- Keep pages and features working correctly as you move through the site.
- Maintain information entered during a session, such as selected settings or transaction steps.
- Apply security controls and detect activity that may threaten the platform or its users.
- Route requests efficiently and help manage website availability.
- Remember choices relating to cookie settings and privacy preferences.
Because these technologies support core functionality and security, they may not be switchable through ordinary cookie preference tools. Disabling them in your browser may prevent parts of Stake Casino from working properly, restrict access to account features, or cause repeated requests for information.
Measuring Website Performance
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the Stake Casino website. Their purpose is to help identify technical issues, understand which pages or features are useful, and improve the speed, reliability, and usability of the platform.
Depending on the service involved, performance information may show how a visitor arrived at the website, which pages were viewed, how long a page remained open, and whether an error occurred. This information is generally analysed in aggregated or pseudonymous form where practical.
Performance tools may help Stake Casino evaluate changes to navigation, content presentation, and platform functionality. They are not intended to record the contents of private communications or capture payment credentials. Where consent is required for a particular analytics technology, it will be used in accordance with the preference you provide.
Remembering Your Preferences
Functional cookies make the website more convenient by remembering choices or settings made during a visit. They may allow Stake Casino to provide a more consistent experience when you return or move between different parts of the platform.
Examples may include remembering:
- Language, region, or display preferences.
- Selections made within website menus or forms.
- Whether certain notices have already been shown.
- Preferences that affect how content or features are displayed.
Functional cookies are not always essential, but disabling them may mean that your preferences are not retained. You may need to make the same selections again during later visits. Stake Casino will use these technologies only for the functions they are designed to support and will not treat them as a substitute for account security controls.
Advertising and Campaign Tools
Marketing cookies and related technologies may help Stake Casino understand the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, and show information that is more relevant to a visitor's interests. They may also help measure interactions with advertisements displayed on Stake Casino platforms or elsewhere online.
These technologies can collect information about browsing activity, campaign interactions, device characteristics, and the pages or services visited. They may allow a provider to recognise a browser or device across different websites. Marketing cookies should not be used to collect payment passwords or other confidential account credentials.
Where a marketing cookie requires consent, Stake Casino will request that consent through the relevant preference tool or notice. If you decline these cookies, you may still see promotional content, but it may be less tailored to your interests. Your choice will not remove essential security or account functionality.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
You can manage cookies in several ways. When Stake Casino provides a cookie preference tool, you can use it to accept or reject available non-essential categories. You may also adjust your browser settings to block cookies, delete stored cookies, or receive an alert before a cookie is placed.
Browser controls differ between providers and devices. You should consult your browser's privacy or help settings for instructions relevant to your equipment. Some mobile operating systems also provide controls for restricting tracking technologies or resetting advertising identifiers.
Please note the following:
- Blocking all cookies may affect login processes, navigation, security checks, and other website features.
- Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to make selections again.
- Cookie controls usually apply only to the browser or device where they are configured.
- If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to repeat your choices.
- Rejecting marketing cookies does not necessarily prevent all advertising or promotional content.
Stake Casino may retain a record of your cookie preference so that the same notice is not shown unnecessarily. If you clear that record, the preference banner or request may appear again.
Services Provided by Others
Some website functions may rely on third-party providers. These providers can place or access their own cookies and similar technologies when their services are integrated into the Stake Casino platform. They may process information under their own privacy policies and terms.
Third-party technologies may support analytics, fraud prevention, security, website hosting, content delivery, customer experience tools, advertising measurement, or other technical services. Stake Casino seeks to use providers for defined business purposes, but the provider responsible for a technology may determine how it operates within the limits of its agreement and applicable requirements.
You should review the privacy and cookie information published by relevant third parties if you want to understand their practices in more detail. Stake Casino cannot guarantee that every external website or service will use cookies in the same way as Stake Casino. Links to external websites may be available through the platform, but visiting them is subject to their own terms and privacy notices.
Changes to This Policy
Stake Casino may update this Cookies Policy when its website, technologies, services, or operational practices change. Updates may also be made to reflect developments in privacy expectations or applicable rules. The revised version will be published on the relevant Stake Casino website with an updated date where appropriate.
We recommend checking this page from time to time so that you remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies are used. If an update materially changes the way non-essential cookies operate, Stake Casino may present a new notice or request your preferences again where appropriate.
If you have a question about this policy or your cookie choices, please use the Stake Casino contact page. The latest version of this policy applies from the date it is published, unless a different effective date is stated.
