Our Cookie Policy
This page explains which cookies we set when you visit stacked-au.com, why we use them, how long they stay on your device, and how you control them. Questions go to [email protected].
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that our website places on your device when you visit. Each one stores a snippet of data, such as a session identifier or a language choice, so your browser can send it back to us on your next visit. They cannot read files off your computer or install anything.
We use cookies, and similar technologies like local storage, to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, understand how the site performs, and show you offers that are relevant to you. Without them, core parts of Stacked Casino, such as staying signed in during a session, would not work.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site functioning. Session cookies maintain your login after you authenticate, security cookies protect against fraud and abuse, and load-balancing cookies route your traffic to the right server. They cannot be switched off because the site would not operate without them.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you make: your selected language, game display preferences, and whether you have dismissed a notification. They are not required for the site to run, but they make repeat visits smoother and personalised.
Analytics
Analytics cookies collect aggregated data about how visitors move through the site: which pages load slowly, where sessions drop off, and which promotions get clicks. We use this data to fix problems and improve navigation. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support retargeting. If you see a Stacked Casino ad on another website after visiting ours, that is marketing cookies at work. They remember which promotions you have viewed so we do not show you the same ad repeatedly. These are the only category that is strictly opt-in.
| Cookie type | Example names | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | stacked_session, stacked_auth | Login session, security | Session or up to 90 days | No, required for the site |
| Functional | stacked_lang, stacked_prefs | Language and display preferences | Up to 365 days | Yes, via cookie banner |
| Analytics | stacked_stats, _ga | Aggregated usage measurement | Session to 365 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | stacked_ads, _fbp | Retargeting and ad measurement | 30 to 90 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on stacked-au.com are set by third parties we work with, not by us directly. We allow three categories: analytics providers that measure site performance on our behalf, advertising networks that run our promotional campaigns, and payment providers that secure transactions when you deposit or withdraw.
These third parties set their own cookies under their own policies. We do not sell your data, and we contractually require every third party to process data only for the purposes we have agreed. If a payment provider sets a cookie during a Visa or Mastercard transaction, that is to verify the payment and prevent fraud, not to track your browsing.
Managing Your Preferences
On our site
When you first visit, our cookie banner asks you to accept or reject optional cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always on. You can change your choice at any time: the Cookie Settings link in the site footer reopens the banner, and rejecting optional categories takes effect immediately.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies entirely. Here is where to find the setting in the four most common ones.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.
What happens if you block them
Blocking strictly necessary cookies means you cannot log in, play games, or make deposits on Stacked Casino. Blocking functional cookies makes the site usable but forgets your preferences each visit. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay; you simply see fewer tailored offers and we get less usage data.
How Long We Keep Them
Strictly necessary session cookies expire when you close your browser. Authentication and security cookies last up to 90 days so you do not have to log in every visit. Functional cookies persist for up to 365 days, analytics cookies run from a single session to 365 days depending on the tool, and marketing cookies last 30 to 90 days. You can clear any cookie sooner through your browser settings.
Changes to This Policy
If we add a new cookie category, change a retention period, or bring in a new third-party service, we update this page and revise the version note at the top. For changes that affect your choices, we also show the cookie banner again so you can review and adjust your preferences. We recommend checking this page whenever we notify you of an update.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept all cookies to play at Stacked Casino?
No. You only need strictly necessary cookies to log in and play. Functional, analytics and marketing cookies are optional and you can reject them in the banner or via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
How do I delete cookies that are already on my device?
Use your browser's clearing tool. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, the privacy settings include an option to clear browsing data, which removes all cookies for our site in one step.
Why do I see Stacked Casino ads on other websites?
Marketing cookies support retargeting, which shows you our promotions on other sites. If you reject marketing cookies in the banner, that stops within 90 days at most, and immediately for new cookies.
Do cookies collect my personal or payment details?
Cookies themselves do not store card numbers or passwords. Payment security is handled by encrypted connections and our payment providers. Analytics cookies collect aggregated behaviour, not your identity.
Where do I ask a question about this policy?
Email [email protected] or use our 24/7 live chat. We will tell you which cookie does what and help you adjust your settings.
