What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which allow websites to remember preferences or state during and between visits. CanadiaTown.com uses these tools sparingly to support essential functionality on our social gaming platform.
Because CanadiaTown.com is a free leisure entertainment service with no real-money wagering, our cookie practices focus on age guidance, consent preferences, and basic site operation — not financial transaction tracking or gambling wallet management.
How CanadiaTown.com uses cookies
We categorize our use of cookies and browser storage as essential for platform operation. Essential storage enables age verification confirmation during your browsing session, remembers your cookie consent choice, and supports core navigation features that keep the district usable across pages.
When you accept age verification, session storage may record that you confirmed eligibility as a guest of age 19 or over. When you respond to the cookie notice, local storage may record whether you accepted cookies or chose essential-only preferences. These records help us avoid repeatedly prompting you during the same visit or on return visits according to your choice.
Cookie consent choices
After completing age verification, a cookie notice appears at the bottom of the screen. You may choose Accept to acknowledge our cookie practices as described here, or Essential only to limit storage to what is required for basic functionality. Your selection is stored locally so the notice does not reappear unnecessarily.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies or clearing storage may reset age verification and cookie preferences, requiring you to confirm eligibility again on your next visit.
What we do not use cookies for
CanadiaTown.com does not use cookies to process real-money payments because no cash deposits or withdrawals exist on this platform. We do not use real-money gambling tracking products. We do not sell cookie-derived profiles to third parties for monetary compensation.
Virtual tokens inside social games are entertainment elements with no real-world value. Cookie data is not used to assign monetary worth to gameplay activity or to facilitate prize redemption because no real-world prizes of monetary value are offered.
Third-party cookies
Some third-party services that deliver fonts, stylesheets, or scripts may set their own cookies or process technical data when your browser requests resources from their servers. Those providers operate under their own policies. We select partners appropriate to a static social gaming website rather than a financial wagering platform.
Links in our footer to external organizations such as GambleAware may lead to sites that use cookies according to their own practices. Review their policies when you leave CanadiaTown.com.
Retention periods
Session storage used for age verification typically expires when you close your browser tab or session. Local storage used for cookie consent preferences may persist until you clear browser data or change your choice through the cookie notice when it is shown again after storage is cleared.
We review retention practices periodically to ensure storage durations remain aligned with the essential purposes described in this policy.
Your controls
You maintain control over cookies through the cookie notice, browser privacy settings, and options to clear site data. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive alerts before cookies are stored.
Restricting essential storage may affect age verification flow and basic site functionality. If you experience issues after changing cookie settings, clearing CanadiaTown.com data and revisiting the site may restore expected behavior.
Relationship to other policies
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Disclaimer, and Responsible Play Policy. Together they describe how CanadiaTown.com operates as a social gaming platform for leisure entertainment only, serving guests of age 19 and over without real-money exchange.
