Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how StarkBet (referred to as “StarkBet”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website for players in India. By accessing or using our services, you agree that we can store and access cookies as described in this policy and in our general terms and privacy practices.

This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors and registered players who use our online casino, including the desktop and mobile versions of our site and our Android application for Starkbet Casino services.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. These files store certain information and are read back by the website or by third-party services during your next visits.

Cookies help us:

• Provide secure access to your StarkBet account
• Remember your preferences and chosen settings
• Improve site speed, stability, and performance
• Analyse how players use our casino and betting services
• Show relevant offers, bonuses, and promotions

2. Who Controls Cookies on StarkBet?

Cookies on StarkBet are managed in two main ways:

• First-party cookies: These are created and controlled directly by StarkBet to support the normal operation and security of our platform.
• Third-party cookies: These are set by trusted partners that provide analytics, advertising, payment, or security services integrated into our site.

Both types of cookies work together to give you a smooth, safe, and consistent Starkbet Casino experience.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Below is an overview of the main types of cookies we use and their purpose.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our site to work correctly. Without them, you would not be able to use key functions of StarkBet, such as logging in, verifying your identity, placing bets, making deposits, or withdrawing winnings.

• Enable secure login and account sessions
• Maintain your session while you move between pages
• Support security checks and fraud prevention
• Remember actions, such as choices during payment steps

Because these cookies are required for our services, you cannot disable them through our internal cookie tools. You may still block them in your browser, but StarkBet will then not function correctly.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our site to remember your preferences so that your experience is more convenient and personal.

• Remember language choices and regional settings (such as India)
• Save login preferences, where you have chosen this option
• Store display options and site layout preferences
• Support certain casino features, such as game filters or favourites

Disabling functional cookies may affect your comfort of use but should not fully block access to our services.

3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how players use StarkBet. They provide anonymous or aggregated statistics about visits and player behaviour.

• Measure how many users visit certain pages
• Track which casino games or features are most popular
• Find technical errors or slow pages
• Improve site structure, content, and navigation paths

These cookies usually do not contain information that can directly identify you. They give us trends and reports so we can improve our service for Indian players in a fair and data‑driven way.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to show offers and promotions that are more relevant to your interests across StarkBet and, in some cases, on other websites or platforms run by our partners.

• Limit how often you see the same banner or bonus message
• Measure the success of our campaigns and welcome offers
• Help us understand what kind of promotions interest players
• Allow us to present personalised bonuses or messages

These cookies may come from trusted third-party networks that work with us in a lawful and responsible way.

3.5 Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies

Security cookies help protect your StarkBet account and our platform against misuse, abuse, and unauthorised actions.

• Detect unusual login attempts or repeated failed logins
• Identify suspicious betting or payment activity
• Protect our systems against automated attacks or bots
• Assist in verifying that actions are made by the account holder

These cookies support our legal duties to maintain integrity, fair play, and safe operation of our casino and betting services.

3.6 Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Based on how long they remain on your device, our cookies fall into two groups:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies support actions such as logging in and moving between pages while staying logged in.
• Persistent cookies: These stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember preferences and help us recognise your device during later visits.

4. Examples of Cookie Usage at StarkBet

To give you a clearer picture, we use cookies in many typical situations, such as:

• Keeping you logged in while you move from casino games to crash games or live tables
• Saving your chosen deposit method, such as UPI or cryptocurrency, for future use
• Remembering which language version of our site you used during your last visit
• Counting how many players visit specific promotional pages, such as bonus offers
• Ensuring that your betting slips and game sessions remain stable during network changes

5. Third-Party Cookies

We may allow certain trusted third parties to place cookies on your device when you visit StarkBet. These partners help us run services that we cannot fully host ourselves.

Such third-party cookies may relate to:

• Web analytics and performance tracking tools
• Advertising networks and affiliate partners
• Fraud-detection and security solutions
• Social media platforms or integrated content

These third parties process data under their own privacy and cookie policies. However, StarkBet works only with partners that follow recognised standards of data protection and act in line with applicable legal rules.

6. Cookies on Mobile Devices and the StarkBet App

StarkBet is accessible from Android smartphones, tablets, iPhone, iPad, and desktop or laptop computers. Our Android app and mobile web version use similar technologies to cookies to run key features and track performance.

On mobile devices, we may use:

• Device identifiers and app identifiers
• Local storage to keep certain game or site settings
• Analytics libraries that help us measure app usage

These tools serve similar purposes as browser cookies and are handled with the same care as web-based data.

We aim to keep retention periods reasonable and no longer than necessary to provide high-quality and secure StarkBet services.
