Stake Cookie Policy in Iceland
The Stake platform uses cookies to ensure the website operates correctly, securely, and conveniently for users in Iceland. Some cookies are strictly necessary for core functions, while others help analyze how the platform is used and tailor content to individual preferences. Cookies do not grant access to personal device data and are handled in accordance with applicable privacy standards. Users retain full control over their cookie settings at any time.
Stake Cookie Usage
When a user visits the Stake website, small data files known as cookies are saved to their device. These files help the platform remember preferences, track activity across sessions, and deliver a consistent browsing experience.
Cookies serve several practical purposes on the platform:
- Monitoring website traffic and usage patterns;
- Understanding how visitors interact with different sections of the site;
- Measuring performance and identifying areas for improvement;
- Supporting the delivery of relevant content based on browsing behavior.
Cookies do not access files stored on a user’s device and do not collect personal data beyond what is needed for the above purposes. Their use is limited to improving how the website functions and how services are delivered.
Types of Cookies Used on the Website
The platform uses three main categories of cookies, each serving a distinct function.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary files that exist only for the duration of a browsing session. They are deleted automatically once the browser is closed and help maintain basic website functionality during a visit.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on a user’s device after a session ends. They allow the website to recognize returning users and remember saved preferences, reducing the need to re-enter information on subsequent visits.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies collect aggregated data about how the website is used. This information supports performance monitoring and helps identify how the mobile and desktop experience can be improved over time.
All three cookie types are used to support convenience and to personalize the experience for each user. No cookie category is used to access private device information or share personal data with unauthorized third parties.
Your Cookie Choices
Users have full control over cookies through their browser settings. Most modern browsers allow a range of cookie management actions that can be adjusted at any time.
The following actions are available through standard browser controls:
- Deleting all cookies currently stored on the device;
- Blocking all cookies from being set in the future;
- Allowing cookies only from specific trusted websites;
- Receiving a notification each time a new cookie is set;
- Blocking third-party cookies while permitting first-party ones;
- Managing Flash cookies separately through the appropriate plugin settings.
Please note that blocking all cookies may limit access to certain features on the website. Some functions, such as saved preferences, language settings, and automatic sign-in, depend on cookies to operate correctly. Restricting cookie use entirely may affect the overall browsing experience.
Flash Cookie Settings
Flash cookies, also referred to as Local Shared Objects, are managed separately from standard browser cookies. They can be configured through the Adobe Flash Player settings manager, which provides options for:
- Setting permissions for individual websites;
- Restricting the amount of data that Flash can store on a device;
- Adjusting security parameters for Flash-based technologies.
Blocking Flash cookies, along with all other cookie types, may interfere with core website functions. Features such as language preferences and automatic login rely on stored data to function as intended. Users who choose to restrict all cookies should be aware that some parts of the site may not perform as expected.
