This Cookie Policy explains how Ontario Golden Falls Casino LTD ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with Ontario Golden Falls Casino, the Ontario Golden Falls Casino website, https://ontgoldenfallscasino.com, and any related websites, applications, features, content, or services that link to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the "Service").
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy: https://ontgoldenfallscasino.com/privacy. Our Privacy Policy explains more broadly how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your browser or device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow websites to recognize a browser or device and may be used for purposes such as operating website functionality, remembering preferences, maintaining security, measuring website performance, understanding how users interact with content, identifying technical problems, and improving the user experience.
Cookies may contain or be associated with identifiers that allow a browser or device to be recognized during a browsing session or across multiple visits.
2. What Are Similar Technologies?
In addition to traditional browser cookies, the Service may use similar technologies. These may include local storage, session storage, application storage, device identifiers, cached data, embedded content technologies, and similar technologies.
Throughout this Cookie Policy, references to "cookies" or "similar technologies" may collectively refer to these technologies where appropriate.
3. Cookies on the Website and Technologies in the App
Traditional browser cookies generally apply to websites rather than native mobile applications. Accordingly:
The website (https://ontgoldenfallscasino.com) currently uses only technologies necessary to operate and secure the website. We do not currently use optional advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or personalized advertising technologies, and we do not currently use a consent-management banner because there are no optional cookies to consent to.
The app stores your gameplay progress — your level, coins, unlocked machines, challenges and statistics — in local application storage on your device. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us. You can delete it at any time by choosing Reset progress in the app's Settings or by uninstalling the application. The app currently does not use third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, attribution SDKs, or crash-reporting SDKs.
4. Why We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
4.1 Operating the Service
Certain technologies may be necessary to load pages, display content, provide basic functionality, remember technical settings, prevent errors, maintain security, and ensure reliable operation.
4.2 Local Storage in the App
The app uses local storage to remember your in-app preferences and progress, such as your level, coins, unlocked machines, favourites, and settings like Reduce Motion. This storage is necessary for the app to function and remains on your device.
4.3 Security
Technologies may be used to detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse, identify automated traffic, protect infrastructure, and investigate technical or security incidents.
5. Categories of Technologies
5.1 Strictly Necessary Technologies
Strictly necessary technologies are required for the basic operation, security, or functionality of the Service. They may be used to maintain security, prevent abuse, operate essential features, and provide functionality requested by the user. Because these technologies are necessary for the Service to function, they are not subject to optional consent.
Examples: hosting and content-delivery infrastructure for the website; local application storage in the app.
5.2 Functional Technologies
Functional technologies remember preferences or provide enhanced functionality, such as in-app preferences like Reduce Motion. In the app, these take the form of local application storage rather than cookies.
5.3 Analytics and Performance Technologies
We do not currently use third-party analytics cookies or analytics SDKs.
5.4 Advertising Technologies
We do not currently use cookies or SDKs for personalized advertising. The Service does not display third-party advertisements.
5.5 Attribution Technologies
The app does not currently use attribution SDKs or advertising identifiers.
5.6 Crash Reporting and Diagnostics
We do not currently use third-party crash-reporting providers. If you contact support, you may choose to share diagnostic information with us voluntarily, which is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
6. First-Party and Third-Party Technologies
First-Party Technologies
Technologies set directly by the Ontario Golden Falls Casino website or app, used for essential functionality, preferences, and security.
Third-Party Technologies
Third-party cookies may be placed or controlled by independent service providers, such as embedded-content or game providers. Third-party technologies are subject to the privacy policies and terms of the relevant provider. See section 8 below.
7. Session and Persistent Storage
Browser storage technologies may be session-based (expiring when you close your browser) or persistent (remaining for a specified period or until deleted). The app's local storage persists until you reset progress in the app's Settings or uninstall the application.
8. Third-Party Games and Embedded Content
Some demo games in the app are provided or hosted by third-party studios. When you open a third-party demo in the in-app browser, the third party may place or access cookies, local storage, device identifiers, session identifiers, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies. These technologies are controlled independently by the third party.
We may not have direct control over cookies or technologies placed by independent third-party game providers. You should review the relevant provider's privacy and cookie information before interacting with third-party content.
9. External Links
The Service may contain links to external websites. When you follow an external link, the destination website may use its own cookies and similar technologies. Those technologies are governed by the destination website's own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control cookies independently placed by third-party websites.
10. Apple App Tracking Transparency
Ontario Golden Falls Casino does not track users across applications or websites owned by other companies for advertising or advertising measurement purposes. The app does not request permission under Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework because it does not perform such tracking.
11. Global Privacy Control
Some browsers support privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control ("GPC"). Where applicable law requires us to recognize a valid GPC signal, we will process that signal as required by law. A recognized GPC signal may be treated as a request to opt out of certain activities defined under applicable privacy laws, such as the sale of personal information, sharing of personal information, or targeted advertising. We do not currently engage in those activities.
12. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") preference. There is currently no universally accepted technical or legal standard governing how websites must respond to all DNT signals. Accordingly, the Service may not respond to all DNT signals unless required by applicable law. This does not affect our obligations regarding legally recognized signals such as Global Privacy Control where applicable.
13. Browser and Device Controls
Most web browsers allow users to manage cookies. Depending on your browser, you may be able to view stored cookies, delete individual cookies or all cookies, block cookies, block third-party cookies, allow cookies only from selected websites, automatically delete cookies when closing the browser, or receive notifications before cookies are stored. Browser controls vary between browsers and versions. Please consult your browser's settings or help documentation for instructions. Blocking all cookies may cause parts of the Service to function incorrectly.
On mobile devices, you may be able to clear application data, reset application permissions, or uninstall the Application, which removes the app's local storage from your device. You should consult the privacy settings available on your device.
14. Consent
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies or similar technologies. Essential technologies may be used without consent where legally permitted because they are necessary to provide the Service or a feature requested by you.
Because the website currently uses only necessary technologies and the app uses only local storage, no cookie-consent banner is currently presented. If we introduce optional technologies in the future, we will request consent where required and update this policy.
15. Data Retention
Information collected through cookies or similar technologies is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for its intended purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements. The app's local gameplay data remains on your device until you reset progress or uninstall the application. Where possible, information may be aggregated, anonymized, or deleted when it is no longer necessary.
16. Deleting Cookie Data
You may generally delete cookies through your browser settings. You may also be able to clear website data, clear browser storage, delete application data, reset application permissions, uninstall the Application, or change privacy settings on your device.
Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences. If you delete a cookie used to remember your cookie-consent choice, we may need to request your preference again during a future visit.
17. Personal Data Deletion Requests
If information collected through cookies or similar technologies can reasonably be associated with you, you may have the right to request deletion under applicable privacy law. Requests may be submitted to support@ontgoldenfallscasino.com.
However, certain cookie, analytics, or diagnostic information may not be reasonably identifiable as belonging to a particular person. If we cannot reasonably identify the information associated with your request, we may be unable to delete that specific information individually. Additional information regarding deletion rights is provided in our Privacy Policy.
18. International Data Transfers
Some infrastructure or security providers may process information outside your country of residence. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers, including adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, contractual protections, or other legally recognized mechanisms. Further information is available in our Privacy Policy.
19. Children
The Service contains simulated casino-style and slot-style entertainment and is intended for an adult audience. The minimum permitted age is 19 (the legal gambling age in Ontario, Canada). The Service is not directed to children. We do not intentionally use advertising or tracking technologies to create advertising profiles of children in violation of applicable law.
If you believe information relating to a child has been processed contrary to applicable law, contact support@ontgoldenfallscasino.com.
20. Changes to Third-Party Technologies
The third-party services used by the Service may change over time. We may add a provider, replace a provider, discontinue a provider, modify security technology, or change hosting providers. When these changes materially affect this Cookie Policy, we may update this Policy accordingly.
21. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, changes to cookie technologies, changes to third-party providers, legal developments, regulatory requirements, changes to privacy practices, or changes to our business operations.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was most recently revised. Where required by applicable law, we may provide additional notice or request renewed consent for material changes.
22. Relationship With the Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy provides specific information about cookies and related technologies. Our broader handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy: https://ontgoldenfallscasino.com/privacy. If this Cookie Policy does not address a particular data-processing issue, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
