What Are Cookies
Cookies are small data files that a website can ask a browser to store. Similar technologies, including local storage, can remember settings or identifiers so that a site can operate consistently between page views. NorthStarPlayCanada.com uses browser storage for essential functions and may use optional cookies where you choose to enable them.
How We Use Cookies
We use storage to support site operation, remember age-gate confirmation, remember your cookie choices, improve functionality and, with optional consent, understand how visitors use the site or measure permitted marketing activity. Cookies do not turn this website into an online gambling service and are not used to create a real-money gaming account.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies or browser storage are required for features that make the site usable. The age-gate confirmation can be remembered for a limited period, and the cookie-preference record prevents the consent panel from appearing on every page. Security, load management and session integrity may also rely on essential technologies. Essential functions are always active in the preference interface.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices that improve convenience, such as non-essential display or interface preferences. These cookies are optional. If disabled, the main informational content should remain available, although certain preferences may need to be selected again.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies can help us understand aggregated usage, such as pages visited, general navigation patterns, device categories and performance issues. We aim to use analytics to improve content and usability rather than to make unnecessary sensitive inferences about visitors. Analytics cookies are optional and can be rejected in the cookie settings.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies, if used, may support measurement of permitted campaigns or help avoid repeatedly showing the same promotional message. They are optional and are not required to browse venue information. Enabling marketing cookies does not enrol you in NorthStar Club or constitute consent to receive direct electronic messages where separate consent is required.
Third-Party Services
Some site functions may depend on third-party services, such as map tiles, hosting infrastructure or analytics tools. These services may receive technical requests needed to provide their content. When a third-party service sets its own cookies, its privacy and cookie practices may also apply. We seek to limit dependencies and use only the services reasonably required for the intended function.
Cookie Duration
Different cookies and storage records can have different lifetimes. The age-gate confirmation is designed to expire after a defined period, while cookie-preference records remain until updated or cleared. Session cookies may end when the browser closes, while persistent cookies remain for a specified duration. Third-party services may use their own retention periods.
Managing Preferences
You can use the Cookie Preferences control in the site footer to review optional categories. You may accept all optional cookies, reject optional cookies, or choose categories individually and save your preference. A saved preference can be changed later using the same control. Clearing browser storage may reset the choice and cause the banner to appear again.
Browser Settings
Most browsers provide controls to view, delete or block cookies and local storage. Browser settings can be used in addition to the site preference panel. Blocking all storage may cause essential interface features to behave differently, including repeated age or cookie prompts. Consult your browser’s help documentation for the controls available in your version.
Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, providers or site features change. The current version will be published on this page. If a change materially affects the way optional cookies are used, we may ask you to review or renew a choice where appropriate.
