Staycasino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Staycasino uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and related services for players in Australia. It describes what cookies are, why they are used, the categories we rely on, and the choices available to you.
Cookies do not change the minimum age requirement to access Staycasino (18+) or our minimum deposit (A$20). Instead, they help the site function correctly, support account security, improve performance, and provide a more consistent experience across devices and browsers. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, session status, and other settings that help the website work more efficiently. Some cookies are set only for the duration of your visit, while others may persist for longer periods.
Similar technologies may also be used alongside cookies, such as local storage, pixels, or software development kits (SDKs) in certain contexts. In this policy, the term “cookies” refers to cookies and comparable technologies to the extent they perform similar functions.
Cookies generally do not provide us with direct access to your device or to personal files stored on it. However, when combined with other information, some cookie-related data may be considered personal information depending on context and applicable privacy expectations.
Types of Cookies
Staycasino uses different categories of cookies to operate our website, protect accounts, maintain stable performance, and help us understand how the site is used. The categories below describe their typical purposes.
Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies
- Session cookies exist only while your browser session is active. They are usually deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They help the site remember you across visits.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
- First-party cookies are set by Staycasino’s domain and are generally used for core functionality and site preferences.
- Third-party cookies are set by external services we use for analytics, advertising, payment-related checks, fraud prevention tooling, or embedded content.
Not all cookies are used on every page. The mix may vary depending on the feature you use, whether you are logged in, and the device and browser you choose.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required to provide the services you request and to keep the Staycasino website operating reliably. Without these cookies, the website may not load properly, key features may fail, or your account session may not work as intended.
- Account login and session management, so you can move between pages without repeatedly signing in.
- Security and fraud-prevention support, such as helping detect unusual activity and protecting against automated attacks.
- Load balancing and basic performance routing to keep the site stable during peak usage.
- Cookie consent preference storage, where applicable, to remember your choices.
Because essential cookies are necessary for core operations, they are generally not optional. If you disable them through your browser settings, parts of Staycasino may not function, and you may be unable to access certain features.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use Staycasino and how the site performs across different devices and browsers. They are used to measure and improve reliability, speed, and navigation flows.
- Collect aggregated information about page visits, time spent, and feature usage patterns.
- Help identify errors, broken links, or pages that load slowly.
- Support testing of layout changes to improve usability and reduce friction during registration, verification steps, and cashier flows.
Performance cookies are designed to support improvements rather than to directly identify you. However, depending on the tool used, they may involve unique identifiers that distinguish one browser from another for measurement purposes.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation options on Staycasino. They help the website remember your choices and provide a more consistent experience.
- Remembering language or regional display settings (where available).
- Storing interface preferences, such as display options and recently used navigation choices.
- Helping maintain continuity when you return to the site, such as retaining certain non-sensitive preferences.
Disabling functional cookies may not prevent you from using Staycasino, but some features may become less convenient or may require you to reselect preferences each time you visit.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to help tailor marketing communications and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by Staycasino or by third-party partners acting on our instructions or for their own purposes, depending on the context.
- Limiting the frequency of certain advertisements so you do not see the same message repeatedly.
- Measuring whether an ad led to a visit, registration, or other on-site action.
- Supporting more relevant promotions based on general browsing behaviour, where permitted by your settings.
Marketing cookies may involve tracking across websites or apps. Where your choices or browser controls allow, you can limit or disable these cookies. If marketing cookies are disabled, you may still see advertising, but it may be less relevant and campaign measurement may be less accurate.
Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through on-site cookie preference tools. Your choices apply to the device and browser you use, so you may need to repeat steps if you access Staycasino from another device or browser.
Browser Controls
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Delete cookies already stored on your device.
- Set your browser to notify you before a cookie is placed.
Browser settings differ by vendor and version. Check your browser’s help resources for current instructions. If you clear cookies, you may be logged out, and saved preferences may be reset.
Practical Effects of Disabling Cookies
- Essential functions such as account login, security controls, and cashier navigation may not work properly.
- Some game-related features may not load smoothly or may require additional steps to operate.
- You may see more generic promotions if marketing cookies are restricted.
If you are unsure which settings to choose, consider blocking only third-party cookies first, then adjusting based on the experience you want. Staycasino aims to maintain reasonable functionality even when non-essential cookies are limited, although certain features may be reduced.
Third-Party Cookies
Some Staycasino pages may include services provided by third parties. These services may set cookies or use similar technologies to deliver their functionality. Examples include analytics tools, advertising partners, embedded media, and certain security or fraud-prevention solutions.
Third-party cookies are governed by the relevant provider’s policies and settings. We do not control how third parties use data collected through their cookies, and their practices may change over time. When we integrate third-party services, we aim to do so in a way that supports site security, stability, and responsible operation.
If you block third-party cookies in your browser, some third-party features may not function correctly. In addition, where advertising measurement is restricted, campaign reporting may be less accurate.
Policy Updates
Staycasino may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our services, or operational practices. Updates may also be made to improve clarity and transparency.
- Any changes will apply from the time the updated policy is posted on this page.
- Where appropriate, we may provide additional notice within the website experience.
- Continuing to use Staycasino after an update means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by your browser and consent settings.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how cookies are used and how you can manage your preferences.
