Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how SpinScout.ca ("SpinScout", "we", "our" or "us") may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It describes the main types of cookies, their purposes and the options available for managing them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how personal information may be handled.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit it. They allow a website to recognize a browser, remember certain preferences and collect information about how pages are used.

Cookies can support essential website functions, improve performance, remember user settings and measure visitor activity. Similar technologies, such as tracking pixels, tags and local storage, may serve related purposes.

Depending on their function, cookies may collect technical information such as browser settings, device identifiers, pages visited, referral sources and interactions with website content. Some information may qualify as personal information under applicable privacy laws.

2. Why Does SpinScout Use Cookies?

Depending on the features and third-party services enabled on our website, SpinScout may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes.

• Website functionality: To support essential features, maintain reliable page delivery and help protect the website against misuse.
• Preferences: To remember certain settings and make subsequent visits more convenient.
• Analytics: To understand how visitors navigate our pages, which content receives attention and where technical improvements may be needed.
• Affiliate tracking: To measure referrals from SpinScout to third-party casino websites and attribute qualifying activity where an affiliate partnership exists.
• Advertising and measurement: If applicable advertising services are enabled, to measure campaign performance or support relevant advertising.

The actual cookies and technologies used depend on the current configuration of SpinScout.ca. The categories described in this policy do not necessarily mean that every type of cookie is active on the website.

3. Types of Cookies

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support basic website operations and functions required to deliver a service requested by the visitor. Depending on the website configuration, they may help maintain security, manage technical sessions or remember privacy preferences.

These cookies generally cannot be disabled through a website's optional cookie settings if doing so would prevent essential functions from working. You may still be able to block them through your browser, although this can affect website functionality.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use SpinScout. For example, they may provide information about page views, traffic sources, navigation patterns, time spent on pages and technical errors.

This information can help us improve our content, identify usability issues and make the website easier to navigate. Depending on the tools used, analytics data may be processed in aggregated or identifiable form.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics cookies will be used only after the necessary consent has been obtained.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember settings or choices you make while browsing. Depending on the features available, these could include language preferences, display settings or other customization options.

Disabling these cookies may mean that some preferences are not remembered between visits. The specific functions supported by these cookies depend on the features available on SpinScout.

3.4 Affiliate Tracking Cookies

SpinScout may publish links to third-party casino operators and other external services. Where affiliate tracking is implemented, cookies or similar technologies may help identify that a visitor arrived at a partner website through a link on SpinScout.

This information may be used to measure referrals and attribute qualifying actions under the terms of an affiliate partnership. Depending on the tracking system, relevant referral information may be processed by the affiliate network or the destination website.

Affiliate tracking does not mean that SpinScout has access to your casino account, passwords, payment details or gambling transactions. Information collected directly by a third-party operator is governed by that operator's own policies.

3.5 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

If advertising or marketing technologies are used on SpinScout, they may help measure advertising performance, limit repeated advertisements or provide advertising based on browsing activity.

Such technologies may be operated by third-party service providers and may involve the processing of browsing information across websites, subject to the applicable privacy requirements and consent choices.

We do not claim that personalized advertising cookies or any specific advertising platform are currently active unless their use has been verified.

4. Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Cookies can also be classified according to how long they remain on your device.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally stored temporarily and expire when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends. They may support temporary website functions and navigation.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They may help remember preferences, recognize a returning browser or measure activity over time.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose, the settings chosen by the provider and any applicable technical or legal requirements.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. On SpinScout, they may support website functionality, preferences or analytics, depending on the technologies enabled.

Third-party cookies are set or accessed by external services integrated into a website. These may include analytics providers, affiliate networks or advertising services, if such integrations are used.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies. SpinScout does not control every aspect of their data collection, retention or processing practices.

Before interacting with an external service, we encourage you to review the provider's privacy information and understand the choices it offers.

6. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

7. Cookie Consent and Your Choices

Where required by applicable law, SpinScout will seek consent before placing or using non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

If a cookie consent banner or preference manager is available, you may be able to accept, reject or customize the categories of cookies used on the website. Essential cookies may remain active where they are necessary to provide requested website functions or meet applicable requirements.

Where consent is required, continuing to browse the website should not be treated as a substitute for the consent mechanism required by law.

You may change or withdraw your consent where the relevant controls are available. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that lawfully took place before your choice was changed.

8. Cookies and Privacy in Canada

Where applicable, we aim to handle information collected through cookies in accordance with Canadian privacy legislation and other relevant legal requirements.
