Cookie Policy for casino-niagara.ca

Effective date: [insert current date]. This Cookie Policy describes how casino-niagara.ca (referred to as “casino-niagara.ca,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website, content, and services (collectively, the “Services”). By continuing to use our Services after seeing a cookie banner or other notice, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Policy and in our Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should adjust your browser settings, update your preferences in our cookie consent tools, or discontinue use of the Services.

Cookies are small data files placed on your device to recognize your browser, store preferences, improve performance, and help us provide and secure our Services. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, and device identifiers that function like cookies. Some cookies are “session” cookies that expire when you close your browser; others are “persistent” cookies that remain for a set period. Cookie-derived information may be considered personal information under Canadian law if it can be linked to an identifiable individual. Our Services are intended for adults of legal age in their province or territory; we do not knowingly place cookies to track children’s activity.

What We Collect and Why

We use cookies to: (a) enable core site functionality; (b) recognize you between sessions; (c) protect security and prevent fraud; (d) measure site traffic and performance; (e) personalize content and remember preferences (such as language, region, and previously viewed pages); (f) deliver and measure the effectiveness of informational or promotional content; and (g) meet legal and regulatory obligations applicable in Canada. These uses help us maintain reliable Services and improve your experience.

Our legal basis for using non-essential cookies is your consent, which you provide through our cookie banner or preference centre. You can withdraw your consent at any time using the tools described below. For essential cookies that are necessary to operate the Services, we rely on our legitimate need to provide a secure, functioning website. Where we send electronic messages, we comply with Canadian anti-spam rules and obtain appropriate consent where required.

• Technical data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, network information, and error logs.
• Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, time on page, scroll depth, referral/exit pages, and general interaction data used for analytics and performance.
• Preference data: language, location choice, accessibility settings, and other selections you make on the site.
• Location data: generalized location derived from IP or device settings to localize content or meet jurisdictional requirements.
• Identifiers: unique device or cookie identifiers, session IDs, and consent state tokens used to remember your choices.
• Security data: signals used to detect suspicious activity, enforce our Terms of Use, and protect against fraud or misuse.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive categories of information without your explicit consent. We aggregate or de-identify analytics data where feasible to limit the use of personal information.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies enable core features such as page navigation, load balancing, and access to secure areas. These cookies are essential to the Services and cannot be disabled in our systems. Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve functionality and troubleshoot issues. Functionality cookies remember your settings and choices to provide a more personalized experience. Advertising and measurement cookies, where used, help tailor content and measure its reach and effectiveness. Security and fraud-prevention cookies protect the integrity of the Services.

Cookies can be session-based (erased when you close your browser) or persistent (stored until they expire or are deleted). Persistent cookies generally stay on your device for a defined period that varies by purpose—often from a few days up to 24 months—and are retained no longer than necessary. We periodically review our cookies and purge or de-identify data consistent with our retention standards.

We may allow service providers to set cookies to help with analytics, content delivery, security, and preferences. These providers are bound by contractual obligations to handle information responsibly and only for purposes we specify. Where a provider processes data outside Canada, your information may be subject to foreign laws; we implement safeguards such as contractual protections and access controls to mitigate associated risks.

How to Manage Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies. When you first visit our website, a banner or consent tool will present choices for non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all (except strictly necessary), or customize your preferences by category. You may revisit your preferences at any time via the link or icon typically located in the footer or settings area. In addition, most browsers and devices allow you to block or delete cookies, enable “Do Not Track,” or limit ad tracking at the system level.

• Browser controls: Adjust cookie settings through your browser’s privacy options (e.g., blocking third-party cookies, clearing browsing data, or using private browsing). Each browser provides instructions in its help or settings menus.
• Consent manager: Use our on-site preference centre to enable or disable non-essential cookies by category and to withdraw consent at any time.
• Device settings: On mobile devices, you can limit ad tracking or reset your device advertising identifier through system privacy settings.
• Industry opt-outs: You may also use widely available industry opt-out tools to limit interest-based content in your browser. These tools generally rely on cookies, so clearing cookies may undo your opt-out.
• Do Not Track and global signals: While not all standards are uniformly recognized, we make reasonable efforts to honour supported browser-level preference signals where operationally feasible.

Disabling or rejecting certain cookies may impact site functionality, reduce personalization, or cause some pages to load or behave unexpectedly. Essential cookies will continue to operate as they are necessary for the Services.

Data Sharing, Security, Retention, International Transfers, Rights, Changes, and Contact

We share cookie-derived information with: (a) service providers that support analytics, hosting, security, consent management, and user experience; (b) our affiliates for internal business purposes consistent with this Policy; (c) authorities or other parties where required by law, to protect our rights, or in response to legal process; and (d) entities involved in a business transaction (e.g., merger or transfer), subject to appropriate safeguards. We use administrative, organizational, and technical measures—such as access controls, encryption in transit where appropriate, and data minimization—to protect information collected via cookies. We retain cookie data no longer than necessary for the purposes described above, typically for the life of the cookie or as otherwise required for legal, security, or audit reasons. We may transfer information to jurisdictions outside your province or Canada. When we do, we take steps designed to ensure an equivalent level of protection, recognizing that data in other jurisdictions may be accessed by courts, law enforcement, or national security authorities in those places. Under Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal limits. To exercise your rights, manage consent, or ask questions about our privacy practices, contact us at [email protected].

Acceptance and changes: Your continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of this Cookie Policy and our Terms of Use. We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. If material changes are made, we will provide reasonable notice (such as updating the “Effective date,” posting a notice on the site, or via other appropriate means). The updated Policy will take effect when posted unless otherwise stated. Governing law: This Policy is governed by the laws of the province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties related to the availability or accuracy of cookie-driven features and limit liability for indirect or consequential damages arising from or related to the use of cookies or your inability to access the Services, except where prohibited by law. If you have questions, concerns, or complaints about our use of cookies or this Policy, please contact us at [email protected]. You may also have the right to contact the applicable privacy regulator in your province or at the federal level.
