This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on the Century Mile Racetrack and Casino website. It describes what cookies are, which categories are used, the purposes for which they are used, and the options available to users in relation to those technologies.
By continuing to use the website after being presented with the cookie consent banner, the user acknowledges that this policy has been read and understood. Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential cookies are placed only after such consent has been provided.

2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that are placed on a device (such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when a website is visited. They allow the website to recognize the device on subsequent visits and to store certain information about preferences or actions.
In addition to cookies, related technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and software development kits (SDKs) may be used. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are referred to collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is necessary.
Cookies can be classified by duration:
- Session cookies: Temporary files that are deleted when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: Files that remain on the device for a defined period or until deleted.
Cookies can also be classified by origin:
- First-party cookies: Set directly by Century Mile Racetrack and Casino.
- Third-party cookies: Set by external service providers operating on behalf of, or independently from, Century Mile Racetrack and Casino.
3. Categories of Cookies Used
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the basic operation of the website. They support core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and session management. These cookies cannot be disabled through the on-site consent mechanism. They may be disabled through browser settings, but doing so may result in parts of the website not functioning correctly.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable the website to remember user choices, such as language preferences or display settings. These cookies are not essential to basic operation but support a more consistent experience across visits.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. This may include data on which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. The information collected is aggregated and is not used to identify individual users. The data is used to understand usage patterns and to support improvements to website performance.
Some of these cookies may be set by third-party analytics providers. Those providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies and any applicable data processing agreements.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Where the user has provided consent, advertising and targeting cookies may be used by the company or its advertising partners to track browsing activity across websites. The information collected may be used to display content or advertising that is more relevant to the user’s interests, to limit the number of times a particular advertisement is shown, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Consent for advertising cookies can be withdrawn at any time using the methods described in Section 5.
3.5 Security Cookies
Security cookies support security-related functions on the website, including fraud detection, bot identification, and protection of user sessions. These cookies assist in maintaining the integrity of the website and in protecting users from unauthorized activity.
4. Cookies Set by Third Parties
Some cookies on the website are set by third-party service providers whose technologies have been integrated into the service. These providers may include analytics platforms, advertising networks, and security tools. The company does not control the cookies set by such third parties, and their use of data is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Reasonable steps are taken to ensure that third-party providers operate in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including through contractual arrangements where required.
5. How to Manage Cookie Preferences
Users have several options for controlling cookies.
5.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When the website is first visited, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Through this banner, the user may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or access detailed settings to select which categories are permitted. Preferences can be revisited and updated at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link located in the footer of the website.
5.2 Browser Settings
Most internet browsers provide options to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. The steps required vary by browser and device. Disabling cookies at the browser level may affect the functionality of this website and other websites visited.
5.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools
Some third-party advertising and analytics providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms. Where applicable, links to those tools are provided in the Privacy Policy or can be obtained by contacting the company using the details in Section 8.
6. Retention of Cookie Data
The retention period for data collected through cookies depends on the type of cookie used.
- Session cookies are deleted when the browser session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain on the device for the period specified at the time they are set, which may range from a few days to several months, unless deleted earlier by the user.
Data collected through analytics and advertising cookies may be retained by third-party providers for periods defined in their own policies.

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, in the technologies used on the website, or in internal practices.
