Cookie Policy
This policy sets out what cookies are, which ones we set on mystake-uk.example, and how you can switch them off. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy — read them together for the full picture.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that a website places on your device so it can remember things between visits — a logged-in state, a language preference, whether you have already dismissed a banner. They carry no executable code, cannot read files on your computer, and are trivial to delete from your browser settings.
Categories We Use
| Category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Remember consent choice, cache static assets, balance server load | Session – 30 days |
| Analytical | Anonymised traffic counts via Plausible — no cross-site tracking | 24 hours |
| Affiliate | Attribute your visit to MyStake so we are credited for the referral | 30 days |
| Third-party | Set only if you click an external social or help link | Varies |
Essential Cookies
Cannot be disabled because the site simply breaks without them. They cover consent memory, CSRF protection on the contact form, and font-loading flags. No personal data leaves your browser.
Analytical Cookies
We run Plausible Analytics, an EU-hosted tool that collects anonymised page views. No cross-site identifier is stored, so the data cannot be joined to anything Google, Meta, or ad networks hold about you.
Affiliate Cookies
When you click a "Claim £200" button, a first-party cookie tags that click so the casino can credit the referral back to us. This is how the site earns its keep. It holds a random ID, nothing personal.
Managing Cookies
Every mainstream browser lets you block or delete cookies: Chrome under Settings → Privacy & Security, Firefox under Settings → Privacy, Safari under Preferences → Privacy. Disabling them will not stop you reading the site, but affiliate offers may not track properly.
Want a fresh start? Clear site data for mystake-uk.example in your browser, reload the page, and our consent prompt will reappear.
Policy Changes
If we add a new cookie category — for example a live-chat provider — we update the table above and reset the consent banner so you can opt in again from scratch.
