What Are Cookies
Cookies are small data files that websites can place or read through a browser. Similar technologies, including local storage, can save a limited amount of information in the browser. They are commonly used to keep websites working, remember preferences and support measurements or optional functionality.
On NovaPlayCanada.com, essential browser storage is used for core preferences such as age-gate confirmation and cookie choices. Optional categories are controlled through the Cookie Preferences interface.
How Cookies Are Used
We use essential technologies to operate core website functions and maintain choices. Optional technologies may be used for functionality, analytics or marketing only according to the settings presented to the user.
The website is designed so that public informational content remains available when optional cookies are rejected. Rejecting optional cookies may reduce certain enhancements, but it should not prevent core navigation.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies or local-storage items are necessary for core site functions. They may remember whether the age-gate requirement has been confirmed, whether the cookie banner has already been answered and which privacy settings were selected.
Because these items are required to provide the requested website experience, they are treated as always active. They should not be used for unrelated advertising purposes.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may support enhanced preferences or interface features beyond the minimum needed for website operation. For example, they could remember a display preference or improve continuity between visits where such a feature is enabled.
Functional cookies are optional and can be disabled in Cookie Preferences. The current website should continue to provide its primary venue information without them.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies may help measure how the website is used, such as general page visits, navigation patterns, device categories or performance events. This information can be used to identify confusing content, technical problems or opportunities to improve responsive layouts.
Analytics cookies are optional. If you do not enable them, the website should not intentionally rely on that category for core operation.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used where a future website feature supports preference-based communications or campaign measurement. They are not required for core website use and they do not create an online gambling account.
Marketing cookies are optional and can be rejected without losing access to the main informational website.
Third-Party Services
Some website functions may depend on third-party resources, such as map tiles, mapping scripts, content-delivery infrastructure or security services. Third-party services may receive standard technical requests needed to deliver their resources.
Where a third party independently sets cookies or processes information, its own privacy and cookie information may apply. Users should review external policies when following third-party links.
Cookie Duration
Cookie and local-storage duration can differ. Some browser data exists only for a session, while preference data may remain longer so that the website remembers a choice on a later visit. The age-gate confirmation is designed to remain for a defined period rather than appearing on every page load.
You can remove stored website data through browser settings. Doing so may cause the age gate or cookie banner to appear again because the saved choice is no longer available.
Managing Preferences
Use the Cookie Preferences link in the footer or the Manage Preferences button in the cookie banner to review optional categories. You can accept all optional categories, reject optional categories or select individual choices and save them.
Saved preferences are stored in the browser. If you use a different browser or device, or clear browser storage, you may need to make your choices again.
Browser Settings
Most browsers include controls for cookies, site data, storage permissions and tracking protections. Browser controls can usually block or delete stored data, but the exact steps depend on the browser and version.
Blocking all browser storage may interfere with features that depend on saved preferences, including remembering that the age gate has already been answered.
Policy Updates
This Cookie Policy may be updated if the website introduces new features, changes providers or modifies how optional technologies are used. The current version will be published on this page and the preference interface should reflect the categories actually offered by the website.
If a material new optional purpose is introduced, cookie choices should be reviewed so that users can make an informed decision.
