When you browse Stay Casino, your browser may store small text files known as cookies. These files help the website remember basic details about your visit, understand how pages are used, and support features such as preference settings, analytics, and affiliate link attribution. In plain terms, cookies make it easier for the site to work smoothly and help us understand which content is useful to readers.
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used across our casino review content, particularly for visitors in Australia. It is written to give clear, practical information about cookies and tracking on online casino review sites in Australia, without unnecessary technical language or broad legal claims.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data saved by your web browser when you visit a website. They can be used to remember that you have visited before, keep certain settings in place, measure page performance, or help track whether a link has been clicked.
A cookie does not usually identify you directly by name. Instead, it may recognise a browser, device, session, or interaction pattern. For example, a cookie might show that a visitor viewed a review page, clicked a comparison table, or returned later using the same browser. Some cookies last only while your browser is open, while others remain for a set period unless you delete them.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies help us run the website in a more reliable and reader-friendly way. They can support page loading, navigation, security checks, analytics, and content improvement. Without certain cookies, some features may not behave as expected.
We also use cookie-based insights to understand how visitors interact with our guides and reviews. For instance, analytics may show whether readers spend more time on bonus comparison pages, payment method explainers, or responsible gambling information. This helps us improve structure, wording, and usability rather than guessing what readers need.
Another important purpose is affiliate tracking. If you click a link from our website to a third-party gambling-related website, cookies or similar tracking technologies may help record that the referral came from our page. This is common across casino review sites and supports transparent attribution of referral activity.
Types of Cookies and Similar Technologies We May Use
Necessary and functional cookies: These support basic website operation. They may help pages load correctly, remember consent choices, or maintain simple site functions while you move between pages.
Analytics and performance cookies: These help us understand general usage patterns, such as which pages receive visits, how long users stay, and where technical issues may occur. The information is generally viewed in aggregated form rather than as a personal profile.
Preference and customisation cookies: These may remember choices that improve your browsing experience, such as display preferences, region-related settings, or whether you have already seen a cookie notice.
Marketing and referral cookies: These may be used to measure clicks on affiliate links, understand campaign performance, or assist third-party partners in attributing referrals. These cookies are especially relevant to how casino review sites use cookies in the AU market, where comparison content often includes outbound links.
How Cookies Affect Affiliate Links
Some pages on this website may include links to third-party services, brands, or promotional pages. When you click one of these links, a cookie, tracking pixel, redirect tag, or similar technology may be used to indicate that the click originated from our website.
For example, if a reader views a review, clicks a “visit site” style link, and later signs up with the third-party website, tracking technology may help connect that journey. This does not mean we receive sensitive personal details from the third party. It usually relates to referral attribution, campaign reporting, or performance measurement.
This type of tracking is part of many online publishing and comparison models. We aim to describe it clearly so readers can make informed choices before clicking external links.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can be grouped by who sets them. First-party cookies are placed by the website you are visiting directly. These often support core features, consent settings, and internal analytics.
Third-party cookies are placed by external services embedded in or connected to the website. These may include analytics tools, advertising networks, affiliate platforms, or technical service providers. For instance, a third-party tracking tool may help measure whether an outbound link was clicked, while an analytics provider may help identify general performance trends.
Third-party providers may have their own privacy and cookie practices. We encourage users to review the policies of any external website they choose to visit from our pages.
Managing or Disabling Cookies
You have control over how cookies are stored on your device. When available, our cookie banner or preference tool may allow you to accept, reject, or adjust non-essential cookie categories. Your choices may be saved so you do not need to repeat them on every visit.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. The exact steps vary depending on the browser, but most provide options to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive alerts before cookies are stored.
- Safari: Cookie controls are usually found in privacy settings, including options to block cross-site tracking.
- Firefox: Privacy and security settings allow you to manage enhanced tracking protection and stored cookies.
- Chrome: Site settings and privacy controls can be used to clear cookies, block third-party cookies, or manage permissions by website.
If you disable all cookies, some parts of the site may still be accessible, but certain features may be less convenient. For example, the site may not remember your consent preference, analytics may be limited, and some referral links may not attribute correctly.
Third-Party Tools and External Services
Our website may work with third-party technologies that help with analytics, advertising measurement, link tracking, technical monitoring, and content performance review. These tools may use cookies, pixels, local storage, scripts, or similar methods.
Examples may include website analytics platforms, affiliate tracking systems, advertising measurement services, or tools that monitor page speed and usability. The purpose is generally to understand user behaviour, improve content quality, and measure how outbound links perform.
Because third-party services operate independently, their handling of cookies may differ from ours. When you leave our website by clicking an external link, the destination website may apply its own cookie policy and privacy practices.
Data Protection Note for Australian Visitors
Visitors in Australia may reasonably expect clear information about how online tracking is used. This policy is designed to explain cookies in practical terms and help readers understand what may happen when they browse reviews, compare offers, or follow external links.
Cookies used on this site are generally intended for website functionality, audience insights, preference management, and affiliate attribution. We do not present cookie data as a complete personal identity record. However, certain technical identifiers may still be considered relevant to privacy depending on context, especially when combined with other information by third-party services.
If you want to limit tracking, the most effective steps are to adjust cookie preferences, use browser privacy settings, delete stored cookies regularly, and review the cookie notices of websites you visit after leaving Stay Casino.
Security and Data Handling
We take reasonable care when selecting technologies used on the website, but no online tracking or data transmission method can be described as risk-free. Cookies themselves are not programs and cannot run code on your device, yet they can store identifiers or browsing-related information.
Where possible, we aim to use cookies and tracking tools in a proportionate way. This means collecting information that supports website operation, content improvement, and referral measurement rather than gathering unnecessary details. We also encourage users to keep browsers updated, avoid suspicious extensions, and regularly review privacy settings.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be revised from time to time to reflect changes in website features, tracking tools, affiliate arrangements, or privacy expectations. When we make updates, the wording on this page may be amended so visitors can review the latest version.
