Cookie Policy
Stake uses cookies to improve your browsing experience, maintain platform security, and ensure the site performs at its best. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function, while others help analyse usage patterns and personalise the content you see. Your data is handled with care, and no cookie activity compromises your personal information. You have full control over your cookie preferences and can adjust your settings at any time.
How Cookies Are Used on This Platform
When you visit the Stake website, cookies are stored on your device. These small data files help remember your preferences, monitor site activity, and ensure a consistent browsing experience across your sessions.
Cookies are used for the following purposes:
- Understanding how users interact with the site
- Tracking traffic sources and navigation patterns
- Evaluating overall site performance and reliability
- Storing personal settings such as language and region
Cookies do not access any internal files or personal data stored on your device. They operate strictly within the browser and cannot read information outside of what the site has set. Your privacy remains protected throughout your visit.
Types of Cookies Used on the Website
The platform uses three main categories of cookies, each serving a distinct purpose in maintaining a functional and personalised experience.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary files stored on your device only for the duration of your visit. Once you close your browser, these cookies are automatically deleted. They help maintain continuity across pages during a single browsing session.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, up to a defined expiry date. These cookies remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits, so you do not need to reconfigure your experience each time.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies collect aggregated data about how visitors use the site. This information is used to improve site structure, content, and overall performance. No personally identifiable information is linked to analytical cookie data.
All three cookie types work together to provide a more personalised and streamlined experience each time you access the platform.
Your Cookie Choices
You have the right to manage your cookie preferences at any time. Most browsers allow you to control which cookies are accepted, stored, or removed from your device.
The following actions are available through your browser settings:
- Delete existing cookies stored on your device at any point
- Block all cookies from being set by any website
- Block third-party cookies specifically, without restricting first-party cookies
- Allow only certain websites to set cookies on your device
- Receive a notification before a cookie is stored, so you can approve or decline it
- Manage Flash cookies separately through your browser or the Flash Player Settings Manager
Please note that blocking all cookies may limit the functionality of certain site features. Some services, such as saved preferences or automatic login, rely on cookies to operate correctly. Restricting these technologies may affect your experience on the platform.
Flash Cookie Settings
Flash cookies, also known as Local Shared Objects, are managed separately from standard browser cookies. These are controlled through the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager, which can be accessed directly through your browser or via the Adobe website.
Through the Flash Player Settings Manager, you can:
- Set storage permissions for individual websites
- Define storage limits for Flash data on your device
- Review and adjust privacy and security options for Flash content
Disabling all cookies, including Flash cookies, may disrupt specific site functions. Features such as language preferences, saved settings, and automatic login depend on these technologies to function correctly. It is recommended to review each setting carefully before making changes to ensure the site continues to operate as expected.
