Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how Stake Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use its website. It describes what cookies are, why they may be used, the types of information they can collect, and the choices available to you. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. By continuing to use the website, you acknowledge that cookies may be used as described below, subject to your available browser and device settings.

Stake Casino operates under two Curaçao licences: one issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (licence number 145353) and another from Curaçao eGaming (licence number 8048/JAZ).

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or another device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies may be created by the website you are using, or by an authorised third party that provides services for the website.

Cookies can be temporary or persistent. Temporary cookies, sometimes called session cookies, are removed when you close your browser or end your session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The period for which a cookie remains may vary depending on its purpose and your device settings.

We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the word cookies to refer to these technologies generally.

How cookies help the website

  • Keeping parts of the website working correctly.
  • Remembering choices made during a visit.
  • Supporting account access and security processes.
  • Understanding how visitors use the website.
  • Helping us improve website content, performance and navigation.
  • Presenting information that may be more relevant to your interests, where permitted.

2. Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on the website may vary over time as the website, its features and its service providers change. The following categories describe the main purposes for which cookies may be used. A single cookie may serve more than one purpose.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for essential website functions. They may help with page loading, account sessions, authentication, fraud prevention, security controls and the proper operation of interactive features. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not function correctly. These cookies are generally used because they are necessary to provide a service requested by you or to support the secure operation of the website.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember information that affects how it appears or operates. For example, they may remember language, region, display or session preferences. If you refuse these cookies, some preferences may not be remembered and you may need to provide them again during later visits.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may collect information such as pages visited, approximate usage patterns, referring pages, browser type, device type and technical performance information. This information is generally used in an aggregated or statistical form to identify errors, measure performance and improve the website.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand interactions with promotional content and provide information that is more relevant to a visitor. These cookies may involve third-party providers and may be subject to their own privacy policies. We do not use cookies to remove your legal rights or to avoid responsible gambling requirements.

Security, compliance and responsible gambling technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support account protection, detect unusual activity, prevent misuse, investigate suspected fraud and meet legal or regulatory obligations. They may also assist with age, identity, location, account and responsible gambling controls where those controls apply. Refusing or deleting relevant technologies may affect access to some services or features.

3. Third-party cookies and information

Some website functions may be provided by third parties. These providers may place or access their own cookies or similar technologies when their content, tools or services are used. Examples may include security, payment support, analytics, customer service, technical hosting, content delivery and advertising services. Third parties may collect information according to their own terms and privacy notices.

We take reasonable steps to use service providers that are appropriate for the relevant function. However, we do not control how an independent third party operates its own technology after information has been collected. You should review the relevant third party's privacy information where you want to understand its practices in more detail.

Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, device or browser details, pages viewed, approximate location, session information, preferences, referral information and interactions with website features. Cookies do not necessarily identify you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be combined with account or other information where permitted and necessary for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy.

Information about children

The website is intended for people who meet the applicable minimum age and eligibility requirements for online gambling. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children who are not permitted to use the website. If you believe a child has provided information through the website, please stop the relevant use and contact us through the available website support channels.

4. Your cookie choices

Depending on the website features available in your region, you may be able to manage optional cookies through a cookie banner, preference centre or similar control. You can also manage cookies through your browser or device settings. The steps differ between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant help information for the browser or device you use.

  1. Allow all cookies through your browser or website preference settings.
  2. Block or restrict some or all cookies.
  3. Delete cookies that have already been saved on your device.
  4. Set your browser to notify you when a website attempts to place a cookie.
  5. Use controls offered by some third-party providers to manage their technologies.

If you block or delete cookies, the website may not operate as intended. You may be signed out of your account, lose saved preferences, need to complete certain steps again, or be unable to use particular features. Blocking optional cookies may also limit our ability to understand website performance or provide relevant content. Blocking cookies does not necessarily remove information that was collected before the change.

Some browsers and devices offer privacy controls such as private browsing, tracking prevention or advertising preference settings. These controls may not prevent every form of tracking and may not apply in the same way across all websites. We will apply available preference signals where required by applicable law and where our systems support them.

Account and gambling controls

Cookie preferences do not replace account security requirements, identity checks, location controls, age checks or responsible gambling tools. If a cookie or similar technology is required for a legal, security or account function, disabling it may prevent you from accessing some or all services. You should always follow the instructions shown on the website and use available responsible gambling settings if you choose to gamble.

5. Changes, privacy and contact information

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technologies, service providers, legal obligations or business practices change. The updated version will be made available on this page, with the revision date or other notice where appropriate. You should check this page from time to time so that you remain informed about how cookies may be used.

Our Privacy Policy contains further information about how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored and protected. It also explains applicable rights and how privacy-related requests may be made. If there is any inconsistency between this policy and the Privacy Policy, the document that specifically deals with the relevant issue will apply to the extent permitted by law.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, your cookie choices or the handling of personal information, please use the support or privacy contact options displayed on the website. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in a general enquiry. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request that concerns an account or personal information.

By using Stake Casino's website after any update to this policy, you acknowledge the updated information. Where consent is required for optional cookies, we will seek consent through the relevant website controls and will not treat continued browsing alone as consent where applicable law requires a different approach.
