1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website or service can ask a browser to store. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and other identifiers. They can support essential site functions, remember preferences, measure traffic, secure a service, or attribute referrals and advertising.
2. Current BestCanadianCasinos.ca Setup
The hosting package delivered on August 16, 2026 does not intentionally include Google Analytics, advertising pixels, social-media pixels, localStorage tracking or first-party marketing cookies in its page code. It uses ordinary HTML, CSS and JavaScript for navigation and interface behaviour.
Your web host may still create server logs or use infrastructure-level security technologies. Those practices are controlled by the hosting provider and should be reviewed in the provider agreement or privacy documentation.
3. Cookie Categories That May Be Added
| Category | Typical purpose | Consent approach |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, load balancing, consent preferences or functions needed to deliver the site | Often treated differently from optional tracking, depending on applicable law |
| Preferences | Remembering non-essential choices such as display or language settings | May require a choice or disclosure depending on implementation |
| Analytics | Measuring visits, navigation patterns and page performance | Should be assessed for consent and privacy requirements before activation |
| Advertising or affiliate | Campaign attribution, conversion measurement or personalized advertising | Often more privacy-sensitive and should not be added silently |
4. Affiliate Links and Referral Parameters
Some outbound links may include a referral or campaign parameter so an advertiser or affiliate network can identify that a visitor arrived from BestCanadianCasinos.ca. The destination site or network may set its own cookies or identifiers after you click. Those technologies are governed by the destination and network policies, not by this Site alone.
5. Your Browser Controls
Most browsers allow users to view, delete or block cookies and site storage. Blocking all cookies can affect websites that rely on essential session or security cookies. If BestCanadianCasinos.ca later adds a consent-management tool, visitors should also be able to use that tool for the optional categories it controls.
6. Before New Tracking Is Added
- Identify the specific provider and the exact data it collects.
- Decide whether the tool is essential or optional.
- Update the Privacy Policy and this Cookie Policy.
- Implement an appropriate consent or preference mechanism where required.
- Avoid loading optional tracking before the required choice has been made.
