Cookie Policy
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — including local storage and session storage — work in comparable ways: they allow a site to remember information about your visit. This policy covers all of these technologies when used on Canuck Coins.
2. Why We Use Cookies
Canuck Coins uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the social casino running smoothly, remember your preferences (such as whether you've confirmed your age), and — with your consent — understand how visitors interact with Cedar Ridge Reels and other areas of the site. This helps us make the experience better for everyone who wanders into the Coins Crossing.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site running: session handling, security, age-gate confirmation, cookie-consent record. | __age_ok, __cc_v1 | Session – 12 months. No consent required. |
| Performance / analytics | Anonymous traffic measurement to understand how the site is used, without tracking individual users. | __cf_bm (Cloudflare Bot Management) | Up to 30 days. Set only with consent. |
| Functional | Remembers UI preferences — volume settings on game widgets, accepted age-gate state, and your chosen cookie-consent level. | __cc_v1 (preference storage in localStorage) | Up to 12 months. Set only with consent. |
| Advertising / targeting | When a visitor arrives via a paid campaign (e.g. Google Ads), Google and Microsoft may set advertising cookies to measure campaign effectiveness. These are only active when consent is given. | Google Ads cookies (Google cookie policy); Microsoft Advertising cookies (Microsoft privacy policy) | Up to 13 months. Set only with consent. |
4. Lawful Basis (PIPEDA + CASL)
Canuck Coins operates under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functioning website — no consent is needed for these. All other cookie categories (performance, functional, advertising) are set only with your express opt-in consent, in line with PIPEDA's "knowledge and consent" principle and CASL's requirements for tracking technologies. You may withdraw your consent at any time using the methods below.
5. How to Manage Your Cookies on Canuck Coins
When you first visit Canuck Coins, a cookie-consent banner gives you the choice to "Accept all" or "Essential only." Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key __cc_v1. To change your preference later, clear that key using your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage → canuckcoins.com → delete __cc_v1), then reload the page — the banner will reappear.
6. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies independently of our consent banner. Use the official guides below:
7. Third-Party Cookies and Services
The following third parties may set cookies on Canuck Coins when you have given consent:
- Cloudflare — provides security, CDN delivery, and privacy-preserving analytics. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
- Google — Google Ads conversion cookies are active only for visitors who arrive via a paid Google campaign and have consented. Google Advertising Cookies.
- Microsoft — Microsoft Advertising cookies are active only for visitors who arrive via a paid Microsoft campaign and have consented. Microsoft Advertising Privacy Policy.
8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Canuck Coins honours the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and advertising cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be set. We do not currently respond to the older Do Not Track (DNT) header, as it lacks a consistent technical standard, but GPC provides equivalent or stronger protection and we fully support it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our services evolve or regulations change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
