Cookie Policy – PlayOnline
Domain: canada-playonline.com · Informational use only
This Cookie Policy explains how PlayOnline (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you interact with the informational website available at canada-playonline.com (the “Site”).
By continuing to browse or use the Site after viewing our cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be used in accordance with this Cookie Policy and your selected preferences.
1. Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help support essential website functionality, understand how visitors use the Site, and store compliance settings such as age confirmation or cookie preferences. Some cookies are strictly necessary, while others require your consent.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Our Site may use several categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose:
Essential (Always Active)
Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of the Site. Without them, certain features cannot function properly. These cookies are usually set in response to actions you take, such as confirming that you are over 18 or adjusting your cookie settings.
- Age Verification: Stores age-confirmation preferences in local storage or cookies.
- Session Stability: Helps maintain a secure and functional user session.
- Preference Cookies: Saves choices such as language or cookie settings to avoid repeating them.
Performance Cookies (Optional)
Performance cookies help us understand how users interact with the Site by collecting anonymous, aggregated data. These insights allow us to improve structure, clarity, and navigation.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
Analytics cookies provide more detailed insight into visitor behaviour, such as time spent on pages or navigation paths. This information helps us keep content neutral, structured, and easy to use.
3. Managing Cookie Preferences
You may adjust your browser settings to block, delete, or receive notifications about cookies. Each browser offers different tools for managing cookie behaviour; consult your browser’s help section for detailed instructions.
Disabling essential cookies may affect core Site functionality (such as the age-gate or login forms). Disabling non-essential cookies will not block access to informational content but may reduce the accuracy of performance or analytics data.
4. Behavioral Advertising Choices
If advertising or remarketing tools are used, cookies may help display content that aligns more closely with your general browsing patterns. You may limit or opt out of interest-based advertising using industry-standard tools:
- EU users: youronlinechoices.eu
- US users: aboutads.info/choices
These external tools are managed by third parties and are not controlled by PlayOnline, but they may help manage certain advertising-related preferences.
5. Other Tracking Technologies
Alongside cookies, the Site may use related technologies such as web beacons, pixels, or tags. These tools help measure page views, confirm content delivery, and analyze general interaction patterns.
While managing cookies in your browser may limit the operation of these technologies, there is no universal method for disabling them entirely. Most rely on cookie-like mechanisms and follow the same browser settings.
6. Interest-Based Advertising
From time to time, we or our analytics and advertising partners may use information collected across devices or sessions (“cross-device tracking”) to understand general interest categories and deliver or measure advertising. We work with reputable partners expected to follow appropriate privacy standards, though we do not control their independent practices.
You can reduce interest-based advertising by managing cookies in your browser, using the opt-out tools above, and adjusting privacy settings on your devices and third-party accounts.
7. Advertising Disclosure
PlayOnline aims to provide clear, neutral, and up-to-date informational content about prize-style and lottery-style games. We may independently reference products and services based on published information, general performance, support quality, and pricing.
As with many informational websites, we may earn revenue from identifiable affiliate links, sponsorships, or advertising placements. These commercial arrangements do not influence our intention to present balanced, transparent content. All opinions expressed are our own and do not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice.
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or Site functionality. Updates will appear on canada-playonline.com with a revised effective date.
