What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser, device, or local storage when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser during your visit or when you return later.

Cookies do not usually contain directly personal information such as your email address, password, payment details, or identity documents. However, some cookies may collect technical information such as your device type, browser, approximate location, pages visited, session activity, and referral source.

Cookies may be placed by us directly, known as first-party cookies, or by trusted third-party services, such as analytics providers, advertising platforms, affiliate tracking systems, and consent management tools.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They support core features such as page navigation, security, cookie consent settings, session management, and access to basic site functions. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work as intended.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most useful, and where improvements are needed. We may use services such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, or similar tools to review aggregated traffic data, user journeys, scroll behaviour, page performance, and engagement with casino review content.

Advertising and Affiliate Cookies

Advertising and affiliate cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of referral links, promotional campaigns, and partner offers. For example, if you click a link to a casino offer, such as a Sign Up Bonus or No Deposit Bonus & Free Spins, cookies or tracking identifiers may help confirm whether the link was used and whether the offer performed correctly.

These cookies may also support retargeting, frequency capping, conversion measurement, fraud prevention, and commission attribution. We do not use cookies to guarantee that any gambling product is suitable for you.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies help remember choices that improve your browsing experience, such as language settings, display preferences, region, or currency preferences such as AUD. These cookies may help us present relevant Australian-focused content, including information about Banking & Payments in AUD.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several legitimate website purposes, including:

• To keep the website secure, stable, and functional.
• To analyse traffic patterns, page views, session duration, and user engagement.
• To understand which casino reviews, guides, and comparison pages are most helpful to Australian readers.
• To track the performance of affiliate links and promotional placements.
• To improve website speed, layout, navigation, and content quality.
• To remember cookie consent choices and browsing preferences.
• To help prevent spam, abuse, fraud, and technical misuse of the website.

For example, analytics may show us that users are interested in topics such as Deposits & Fast Payouts, Slots & Pokies, or Responsible Gambling (AU). This helps us improve the accuracy, structure, and usefulness of our reviews and guides.

Cookies, Affiliate Links, and Casino Reviews

Stay Casino is an informational casino review website for Australian audiences. We do not operate an online casino, accept bets, process gambling deposits, or provide gambling accounts. Our content may include links to third-party casino websites, promotions, or informational resources.

When you click certain links, tracking technologies may be used to attribute the referral to our website. This helps us understand whether our reviews and comparison pages are useful and whether partner links are functioning correctly.

Affiliate tracking does not mean that we control third-party casino websites, their terms, their cookie practices, or their handling of your data. Always review the cookie policy, privacy policy, bonus terms, and responsible gambling information of any third-party website before creating an account or using a service.

Your Choices and Consent

Where required, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies such as analytics, advertising, or retargeting cookies. You may withdraw or change your consent through our cookie banner or browser settings where available.

If you reject optional cookies, you can still access our website, but some features may be less personalised and we may receive less information about how to improve the site.

Data Protection and Australian Users

We aim to handle cookie-related information responsibly and transparently. Our approach is designed to align with Australian privacy expectations, including transparency, reasonable data handling, user choice, and clear communication about tracking technologies.

Cookies may collect technical or usage information, but we do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information intentionally. If cookie data is combined with other information in a way that may identify a user, we handle it in line with our Privacy Policy.
