Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our sweepstakes casino guide website. It describes what cookies are, the types we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which function similarly to cookies. Throughout this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to all these technologies collectively.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes on our website. The main categories of cookies we use are described below.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work as intended. Essential cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled.
Examples of essential cookies include those that remember your cookie consent preferences and those that maintain session integrity as you navigate between pages.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, how you arrived at our website, and any errors you encounter. This information helps us improve our website and content.
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous. We cannot identify individual visitors from the information collected by analytics cookies. We use this data to identify popular content, understand user journeys, and optimize the website experience.
We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics. These services may set their own cookies. You can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For example, these cookies may remember your preferred settings or the region you are in. The information collected by functional cookies is typically anonymous and does not track your browsing activity on other websites.
Advertising and Tracking Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to deliver relevant advertisements to you and to track the performance of advertising campaigns. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising networks.
Advertising cookies track your browsing habits to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests. They also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Some of our affiliate partners may also use cookies to track referrals from our website. These cookies help us understand which sweepstakes casino links are clicked and whether visitors subsequently create accounts or make purchases.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third parties. We do not control these cookies and cannot access them. Third parties that may set cookies include analytics providers, advertising networks, affiliate tracking services, and social media platforms.
When you click links to sweepstakes casino websites, those sites may set their own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by third-party websites. Please refer to those websites’ cookie policies for more information.
Your Cookie Choices
You have several options for controlling cookies.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or alert you when cookies are being set. The process for managing cookies varies by browser. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and other websites you visit. Some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
Opt-Out Tools
For advertising cookies, you can opt out of targeted advertising through industry opt-out tools. The Digital Advertising Alliance provides an opt-out tool at optout.aboutads.info. The Network Advertising Initiative provides a similar tool at optout.networkadvertising.org.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Mobile Devices
Mobile devices typically provide options to limit ad tracking. On iOS devices, you can enable “Limit Ad Tracking” in the Privacy settings. On Android devices, you can opt out of personalized ads in the Google settings.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track your browsing activity. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, but you can use the other cookie controls described in this policy.
Cookie Duration
The cookies we use have varying expiration periods. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for periods ranging from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose. Analytics cookies typically persist for up to two years. Advertising cookies may persist for varying periods set by the advertising network.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
