What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that a website may ask your browser to store and send with later requests. They can support sessions, preferences, analytics or advertising functions.

What the Stay cookie policy covers
This Stay cookies policy explains how cookies and similar browser technologies may operate when people visit Stay from Australia or elsewhere. Cookies are small data files that a website may store in a browser so information can be used during a session or on a later visit.
The official site does not publish a complete named list of cookie files, providers, retention periods or individual identifiers. This guide explains the main categories and the browser controls available to Australian players.
Stay cookies for essential functions
Essential cookies may support core website operation, secure sessions, navigation and account functions. The exact Stay cookies used for these purposes are not published on the official site.
Some browser records may last only for a session, while others may remain until they expire or are deleted. Stay does not publish exact retention details for individual cookies.
Stay cookies for preferences, analytics and marketing
Preference cookies may remember choices such as language, region or consent settings. Analytics cookies may measure visits, navigation and website performance where those tools are enabled.
Marketing cookies may measure campaigns, tailor content or recognise a browser across services. Stay does not publish a complete inventory confirming which optional cookies, analytics services or advertising partners are active, so check the current notice or consent panel.
How to manage Stay cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you accept, block, delete or restrict cookies through their privacy settings. Menu names vary between Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and mobile browsers, but site-data and third-party cookie controls are commonly available.
Australian visitors can review these settings before using Stay and change them later. Blocking every cookie may remove saved choices or affect account and security functions, so review category controls carefully where available.
- Open the browser’s Privacy, Cookies or Site Settings menu.
- Check the stored cookies and site data for Stay.
- Delete selected Stay records or clear all site data if needed.
- Choose whether to block third-party cookies, all cookies or selected websites.
- Return to Stay’s cookie notice if you need to change your consent choice.
Cookie consent, personal data and updates
Cookie data may be connected with technical information about your device or browsing session. Where it is combined with account or contact details, the applicable privacy information should explain the purposes of processing and available rights.
This Stay cookies policy may change when the website updates its functions, technology or service providers. Read the latest notice and privacy information on Stay, as the current consent panel is the relevant source for individual cookie details.
