This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides more information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their sites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and gather analytical information about site usage and effectiveness.

Cookies typically contain two pieces of information: a site name and a unique user ID. When you visit a website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser and remember information about your preferences or past actions.

1.1 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Canuck Win Hub and are used only by our website. These cookies allow us to provide essential functionality and improve your experience on our platform.

Third-party cookies are set by external services that we use on our website, such as analytics providers, payment processors, and advertising networks. These cookies help us understand how you use our site and deliver relevant advertising.

1.2 Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. These are essential for the operation of our website and are deleted automatically after your browsing session ends.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie or until you delete them. These cookies help us remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

2. How We Use Cookies

Maple Crown Jackpot uses cookies for several important purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting privacy preferences. Without these cookies, some parts of our site would not work.

Examples of essential cookies include:

  • Authentication cookies: These verify your identity when you log in and keep you logged in as you navigate through our site
  • Security cookies: These help detect and prevent fraudulent activity and ensure secure transactions
  • Age verification cookies: These remember that you have confirmed you are 19 years or older, as required by law
  • Shopping cart cookies: These remember the lottery tickets you have selected for purchase
  • Load balancing cookies: These distribute website traffic across our servers to ensure optimal performance

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, settings, and choices. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Examples of functional cookies include:

  • Language preference cookies: These remember your language choice
  • Display preference cookies: These remember your display settings such as text size and contrast
  • Location cookies: These remember your province to show relevant lottery games
  • Number selection cookies: These remember your frequently played numbers for convenient selection
  • Notification preference cookies: These remember your communication preferences

2.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This information helps us improve our site's functionality and user experience.

Examples of analytics cookies include:

  • Google Analytics cookies: These track visitor numbers, popular pages, time spent on site, and navigation paths
  • A/B testing cookies: These help us test different versions of pages to determine which performs better
  • Error tracking cookies: These help us identify and fix technical issues
  • Performance monitoring cookies: These measure page load times and site responsiveness

The data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized. We cannot identify individual users from this information.

2.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements to you and track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They may be set by our advertising partners through our site.

Examples of advertising cookies include:

  • Retargeting cookies: These show you relevant ads for our services when you visit other websites
  • Conversion tracking cookies: These measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
  • Interest-based advertising cookies: These help deliver ads based on your interests
  • Frequency capping cookies: These limit how often you see the same advertisement

These cookies build a profile of your interests based on the pages you visit and links you click. They do not store directly identifiable personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

3. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we use other similar technologies to track user behavior and improve our services:

3.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)

Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, embedded in web pages and emails. We use web beacons to:

  • Track which emails have been opened and which links have been clicked
  • Monitor the effectiveness of our email campaigns
  • Gather statistics about website usage and access
  • Personalize your experience based on your interactions

3.2 Local Storage

Local storage allows us to store information directly in your browser with no expiration date. This provides a more efficient way to store larger amounts of data than traditional cookies. We use local storage to:

  • Remember your login state across sessions
  • Store your preferences and settings
  • Cache frequently accessed data for faster page loads
  • Enable certain features to work offline

3.3 Device Fingerprinting

We may collect information about your device and browser configuration to create a unique "fingerprint" for security and fraud prevention purposes. This includes:

  • Screen resolution and color depth
  • Installed fonts and plugins
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Time zone and language settings

Device fingerprinting helps us detect suspicious activity and prevent fraud without relying solely on cookies, which can be deleted.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals. As such, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals. If a standard for responding to Do Not Track signals is established in the future, we will reassess our policy.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors.
