Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when accessing Northern Win Play’s platform. These markers support essential website functions and collect non-identifiable usage information. Session cookies help maintain your activity during a single visit, while persistent cookies store settings for future sessions. First-party cookies are set by our platform, whereas third-party cookies come from trusted service providers that assist with operational functions. All cookie usage complies with Canadian privacy regulations and established data protection guidelines.
Cookie Categories
Essential cookies support key platform processes such as login verification and secure session management. These cookies are required for proper operation and cannot be disabled. Performance cookies gather anonymous insights into platform behavior, helping identify technical issues and guide improvements. Functional cookies store user preferences, such as language and display settings, to streamline future visits. Analytics cookies provide combined usage data that assist in refining platform features and development planning.
Cookie Management
Users can manage non-essential cookie choices through our preference center displayed during initial visits. Additional options are available through browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect access to core features. Session cookies are removed automatically when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain until their assigned expiration. Periodic cookie reviews ensure alignment with legal requirements and user settings. Access to the platform remains available regardless of non-essential cookie choices, although some personalized functions may be limited.
Data Protection
All cookies incorporate security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access or exposure of data. Authentication cookies use industry-standard encryption to safeguard identification details. Performance and analytics cookies store data in anonymized formats to avoid personal identification. Ongoing evaluations ensure that cookie processes align with evolving privacy standards. Third-party providers are assessed to confirm that their practices meet Canadian privacy requirements and maintain consistent data protection commitments.
Cookie Lifespan
Session cookies are automatically removed once the browser is closed, supporting temporary functionality during active use. Persistent cookies remain active for specific durations ranging from 24 hours to 12 months, depending on their function. Authentication cookies typically operate for about 30 days to support returning users. Analytics cookies may remain for up to 12 months to help identify long-term trends and platform performance indicators.
