juste au cas où and au cas où

Hello, In the examples given juste au cas où and au cas où both translate as just in case when at the end of a sentence. Is there a way to know when to add juste, or is it entirely optional? Thanks.

This question relates to:French lesson "Au cas où + conditional mood (Le Conditionnel) = in case in French"

I believe it is entirely optional, just like in English

Being pedantic, "juste" in this sense is an Anglicism. Ce n'est pas juste!
