Cookies Policy

What cookies are and why we use them

Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise a browser or device and remember certain information between visits. Cookies can help a website function correctly, remember preferences, understand how pages are used and support a safer online environment. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, device identifiers and local storage, can perform comparable functions.

Stake Casino may use first-party cookies, which are set by the website, and third-party cookies, which are set by service providers that support particular website functions. Some cookies operate only during your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a longer period, subject to their purpose, your browser settings and any applicable consent choices.

Cookies may be used for the following general purposes:

• Keeping the website available and helping pages, forms and account features operate as intended.
• Remembering selections such as language, display preferences or consent choices.
• Supporting account access, session management and the protection of player information.
• Detecting unusual activity, reducing fraud risks and helping maintain the security of the website.
• Understanding how visitors use the website so that content, navigation and performance can be improved.
• Measuring the effectiveness of communications, promotions or other website content where this is permitted.

Cookies do not always identify you by name. Depending on the technology and how it is used, information may be linked to a browser, device, account or online activity. Where cookie information is combined with other information that identifies you, it may be treated as personal information under applicable privacy requirements.

Types of cookies that may be used

The cookies used on the website may vary over time as features, security measures and service providers change. The following categories describe the main purposes for which cookies and similar technologies may be used. A single cookie can sometimes support more than one purpose.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support core website functions. They may help maintain a secure session, remember whether you are signed in, route requests correctly, protect forms from misuse and preserve essential settings. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly. Because they are needed to provide a service you request, they may be used without an optional marketing or analytics preference where permitted by applicable law.

Functional and preference cookies

Functional cookies help remember choices made during a visit or between visits. For example, they may support language, regional display, layout or consent settings. These cookies are intended to make the website more convenient and consistent. If you disable them, you may need to repeat certain choices, and some features may not behave as expected.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies provide information about how visitors interact with the website. This may include which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the site, whether pages load correctly and whether an error occurs. The information can help identify technical issues, understand general usage patterns and improve the website. Analytics information is generally assessed in aggregate or through identifiers rather than being used to identify a person directly, although the precise handling depends on the service involved.

Security and risk-management technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to help protect accounts, payments, services and the website from suspicious or unauthorised activity. They can assist with recognising unusual access patterns, limiting automated misuse and investigating potential security incidents. These technologies may collect technical information about a browser or device, such as settings, connection details or activity associated with a session.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and where consent is required, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated content, understand interactions with communications or show content that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may be provided by third parties. They may allow activity across different websites or services to be associated with a browser or device, subject to the provider's settings and applicable privacy requirements.

Your cookie choices and browser settings

You may be offered choices about optional cookies through a cookie preference tool or notice displayed on the website. The options available can depend on your location, the device you use and the technologies operating at the time. You can change optional preferences when the relevant controls are made available. Changing your preferences does not normally remove cookies that have already been placed on your device, so you may also need to clear them through your browser.

Most common browsers allow you to review, block or delete cookies through their privacy or settings menus. You can usually choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, delete cookies when the browser is closed or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Browser controls differ, so you should check the help information for your chosen browser or device if you need instructions.

If you use more than one browser or device, your cookie settings may need to be applied separately on each one. Some choices may also be stored in a cookie. If you delete that cookie, the website may not remember your previous preference and may ask you again. Blocking a cookie does not always stop all similar technologies, and separate controls may be provided by the relevant service.

• Blocking essential cookies may prevent account, security or other core features from operating correctly.
• Disabling preference cookies may cause settings to reset during later visits.
• Disabling analytics cookies may limit the information available to help improve website performance.
• Disabling marketing cookies may reduce personalised content but may not remove all advertising.
• Deleting cookies may sign you out of services or remove saved website preferences.
• Device-level settings may affect how cookies, identifiers and similar technologies are accepted.

Where a third-party service provides its own opt-out or privacy control, that control may need to be used directly with the relevant provider. Stake Casino cannot guarantee that every third-party setting will work in the same way or remain available indefinitely. Third-party providers may update their technology, policies or controls from time to time.

Third parties, privacy and policy updates

Some website functions may be supported by third-party providers, including providers of hosting, security, analytics, customer support, payments, content delivery or marketing services. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to provide their services, maintain performance, prevent misuse or produce reporting. Their handling of information may be governed by their own privacy notices and terms.

Cookie information may be used together with information collected when you create or use an account, contact support, participate in website activities or interact with communications. The way this information is handled is also covered by the Stake Casino Privacy Policy. That policy may explain how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, stored and protected, and may describe rights or choices available under applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Stake Casino does not use this Cookies Policy to promise that every cookie or similar technology will be used for a fixed period. Retention can depend on whether a technology is required for a current session, supports a longer-term preference, assists with security or is controlled by a third-party provider. Information is managed in accordance with the relevant purpose, operational needs and applicable legal obligations.

The website may contain links to other websites, applications or services. This Cookies Policy applies to the Stake Casino website and does not control the privacy or cookie practices of external services. You should review the information provided by an external service before sharing information or changing settings on that service.

This policy may be updated when website features, technologies, service providers or legal requirements change. The updated version will be made available on the website, and the effective date may be changed where appropriate. You should review this page from time to time to understand the current use of cookies and the choices available to you.

If you have questions about cookies, privacy or your available choices, please use the relevant privacy, help or support options made available on the Stake Casino website. No particular contact method is required by this policy, and the available options may change over time.
