Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, and settings. Cookies cannot execute code or deliver viruses — they are purely data files.
In addition to cookies, we also use similar technologies such as web beacons (clear pixels), local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as “cookies.”
2. Who Sets Cookies on CanadaStrike?

Third-party cookies are set by our trusted partners — including analytics providers, advertising networks, and payment processors — who deliver services on our behalf. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookie data.

5. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites. CanadaStrike does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because there is no industry-standard interpretation of what constitutes an appropriate response. We encourage you to use the cookie preference centre on our site to exercise your choices directly.
6. Cookies and Responsible Gambling
Some essential cookies are used to enforce responsible gambling settings you have configured, such as deposit limits, time limits, and reality checks. These cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for your protection and regulatory compliance.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically as we adopt new technologies or as regulatory requirements change. Any material changes will be communicated via our cookie banner and/or email. Continued use of our platform after the updated effective date constitutes acceptance.
