Stake Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Stake Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use its online casino services in Australia. It describes what these technologies do, the categories that may be used, and the choices available to you.
Cookies can help Stake Casino provide a secure, reliable and personalised experience. By continuing to use the website, certain cookies may be placed on your device where permitted by your browser settings and applicable requirements. You can manage non-essential cookies as described below.
Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember selected preferences and support particular functions during a visit or on a later occasion.
Stake Casino may also use related technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits and local storage. These tools can perform similar functions, including measuring website activity, remembering settings and helping to protect accounts and transactions.
A cookie may be a session cookie, which is removed when you close your browser, or a persistent cookie, which remains on your device for a defined period or until you delete it. Cookies may also be first-party cookies placed by Stake Casino or third-party cookies placed by service providers operating on or through the website.
Cookie Categories Explained
The cookies used by Stake Casino can generally be grouped according to their purpose. Some are required for the website to function, while others support performance, convenience, analytics or marketing activities.
- Essential cookies support core website functions, security controls and account-related processes.
- Performance cookies help Stake Casino understand how visitors use the website and identify technical issues.
- Functional cookies remember choices and provide enhanced features.
- Marketing cookies may help deliver more relevant advertising and assess promotional activity.
The precise cookies active on the website may change as features, service providers and operational requirements develop. Where a consent tool is available, it may provide more specific information about individual cookies, their purposes and their retention periods.
Cookies Needed for Operation
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation, security and stability of the Stake Casino website. Without them, certain services may not work correctly or may be unavailable.
These cookies may be used to support activities such as signing in, maintaining a secure session, processing navigation between pages, remembering responsible access controls and detecting unusual or potentially harmful activity. They can also help with load balancing, fraud prevention and the protection of the website and its users.
Essential cookies do not normally store information designed to identify your interests for advertising purposes. They are generally used because they are necessary to provide a service you have requested or to maintain the security and integrity of the platform.
Because these cookies support essential functions, disabling them may prevent you from accessing your account, using gaming features, completing verification steps or carrying out other actions on the website. They may therefore remain active even when other cookie categories are declined, subject to applicable requirements.
Performance and Analytics
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors interact with the Stake Casino website. Their purpose is to help improve reliability, usability and technical performance rather than to provide core account functions.
Information collected through these cookies may include the pages visited, the time spent on a page, the way users move through the website, error messages and general device or browser information. This information is typically assessed in aggregated or pseudonymous form where possible.
Stake Casino may use performance information to identify slow pages, understand which features are useful, test improvements and investigate technical problems. These insights can support more effective website design and help the platform operate consistently across different devices and browsers.
If you decline performance cookies, the website can generally continue to operate, although Stake Casino may have less information available to diagnose issues or improve the customer experience.
Features and Preferences
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide features that are more convenient or tailored to your use of the service. They are not always essential, but they can make the website easier to use.
Depending on the available features, functional cookies may remember language or display preferences, selected settings, consent choices and certain details of a previous visit. They may also support enhanced content, accessibility options or other functions that you have requested.
These cookies are intended to improve your experience without being necessary for every basic website function. If you disable them, some preferences may need to be selected again, and certain enhanced features may not operate as intended.
Functional cookies do not automatically mean that Stake Casino will use your information for promotional targeting. Their purpose is generally linked to providing the feature or preference associated with the cookie.
Advertising and Promotion Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, limit repeated advertisements and help present advertising that is more relevant to a visitor. They may also assist Stake Casino and its authorised service providers in measuring interactions with promotional content.
These cookies can record information such as whether an advertisement was viewed, whether a promotional link was selected and whether a visitor returned to the website after seeing campaign content. They may be placed by Stake Casino or by selected third parties acting on its behalf.
Marketing cookies may use information about browsing activity across websites or services, depending on the technology involved and the choices you make. They should not be understood as a guarantee that every advertisement will be relevant or that advertising will be shown on every visit.
Where consent is required, Stake Casino will seek that consent before using non-essential marketing cookies. Declining them should not prevent access to essential casino services, although promotional content may be less tailored and campaign measurement may be limited.
Controlling Your Cookie Choices
You can manage cookie preferences through the cookie notice or settings tool displayed on the Stake Casino website, where available. This may allow you to accept or reject selected categories of non-essential cookies. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so that they can be remembered on future visits.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is saved. Browser controls differ, so you should consult the help or privacy settings for the browser and device you use.
- Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and require you to sign in or configure settings again.
- Blocking all cookies may affect essential security, account and navigation functions.
- Cookie choices may need to be repeated if you use a different browser, device or cleared browsing data.
- Opting out of marketing cookies does not necessarily remove all advertising from other websites.
Some technologies may be managed separately from ordinary browser cookies. Where relevant, Stake Casino will provide available controls through its website or the relevant service provider. You may also be able to adjust device-level privacy settings, although these changes may affect other applications and websites.
Cookies From Other Providers
Stake Casino may work with carefully selected third-party providers that place or access cookies and similar technologies through the website. These providers may assist with security, analytics, website functionality, payment-related processes, fraud prevention or advertising measurement.
Third parties may process information under their own privacy notices and policies. Their use of cookies can be subject to terms that are separate from this policy. Stake Casino takes reasonable steps to use providers for defined purposes, but the operation of third-party technologies may be governed by the provider's own systems and controls.
Third-party cookies may allow a provider to recognise your browser or device when you visit different websites or services that use the same provider's technology. Whether this occurs depends on the provider, the technology used and your consent or browser settings.
You should review the privacy and cookie information made available by any third-party service if you want to understand its practices in greater detail. Disabling third-party cookies through your browser or the Stake Casino consent tool may limit certain features, but should not normally affect essential casino functions.
Changes to This Policy
Stake Casino may update this Cookies Policy when its website, technologies, service providers or operational practices change. Updates may also be made to reflect developments in applicable privacy expectations or changes to the way cookies are managed.
When changes are made, the revised version will be published on the Stake Casino website with an updated effective date where appropriate. A new consent notice or preference request may be displayed if the changes affect the use of non-essential cookies or require you to review your choices.
You should review this page periodically to remain informed about how Stake Casino uses cookies. Your continued use of the website after an update will be handled in accordance with the revised policy and any consent choices required at that time.
Stake Casino services are intended for persons aged 18 and over. If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or wish to make a privacy-related request, please use the Stake Casino contact page.
