It also describes your choices regarding these technologies and forms part of our Terms of Use. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should adjust your browser or device settings accordingly, set your preferences using any on-site consent tools, or refrain from using the Site.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, parq-casino.ca) are called “first‑party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third‑party cookies.”
In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies that function similarly. These technologies help us understand user behavior, measure the effectiveness of features and communications, secure our services, and deliver a better experience.
- Session and persistent cookies: Session cookies exist only during a single browsing session and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
- Web beacons and clear GIFs: Small, invisible images embedded in pages or emails that help us understand usage and campaign effectiveness.
- Pixels and tags: Code snippets that provide analytics and support for functional features such as remembering preferences.
- Local and session storage: Browser-based storage (for example, HTML5 local storage) used to retain preferences or speed up performance.
- Software development kits (SDKs): Tools used in mobile apps or certain web features to enable functionality and analytics.
- Log files and device identifiers: Technical data collected automatically, such as IP addresses, browser types, and device attributes, which may be used with or without cookies to provide services and security.
We use both first‑party and third‑party technologies. The duration of our cookies varies by purpose; some expire when you end your session, while others may persist for months or longer unless you delete them.
Why We Use Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to provide core functionality, such as page navigation, access to secure areas, fraud prevention, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the Site may not function properly. Because they are required to deliver the services you request, they cannot be switched off through our systems, though you can set your browser to block them (which may cause parts of the Site to break).
Performance and analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, including which pages are viewed, how long users stay, and any errors encountered. We use this information to improve the Site’s design, content, and performance. The data we collect is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you; however, in some cases, it may be considered personal information under Canadian law if it can be associated with you.
Functionality and personalization cookies: These remember your choices and preferences (such as language, region, or display settings) and enhance your experience by personalizing content. We may also use targeting or advertising cookies in connection with content personalization and to measure the performance of our own promotional communications. These cookies may be set by us or by our service providers and can build a profile of your interests to tailor the Site experience. If you opt out, you will still see content, but it may be less relevant.
How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You have several options to control cookies and similar technologies. Your choices may impact your experience on the Site and the availability of certain features. Where available, you can adjust settings using our on-site cookie banner or preferences center. You can also control cookies via your browser or device settings.
- Use any cookie banner or settings tool provided on the Site to accept, reject, or customize categories of cookies (where such tools are available).
- Adjust your web browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers let you refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or prompt you before a cookie is stored. Deleting cookies will remove persistent cookies from your device.
- Manage local storage and site data within your browser’s privacy or site settings to remove stored preferences or data.
- On mobile devices, use your operating system settings to limit tracking, reset advertising identifiers, or control app permissions.
- Control email tracking by disabling image loading in your email client or by unsubscribing from non-essential emails.
- Some browsers and devices offer privacy preference signals. We will honor such signals to the extent required by applicable laws and technically feasible within our systems.
Note that blocking certain cookies may degrade or prevent use of key features, impact security controls, or reduce the personalization of your experience. If you clear cookies or use a different browser or device, you may need to set your preferences again.
Your Privacy, Rights, and Legal Terms
Information collected and sharing: Cookies and similar technologies may collect information such as device identifiers, IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, time spent, language preferences, general location (e.g., city or region), and interactions with our Site and communications. We may combine this information with data you provide directly (for example, when creating an account or contacting us) to support security, analytics, personalization, and compliance. We may share information derived from cookies with service providers who process it on our behalf to provide analytics, hosting, security, customer support, and personalization. Where legally permitted, we may also disclose information to comply with law, enforce our terms, protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction. Data may be stored or processed in Canada and in other jurisdictions, which may have different privacy laws; when we transfer data, we implement appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable Canadian law.
Retention, security, and your choices: We retain cookie-derived information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by cookie type and purpose. We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected via cookies. Under Canadian privacy laws, you may have rights to access and request correction of personal information we hold about you, to withdraw or modify consent to non-essential cookies, and to inquire about our data practices, including cross-border transfers. To exercise your rights or submit a request, contact [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding. By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree that essential cookies are necessary to provide the Site and that disabling them may affect functionality. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site is provided “as is” and “as available,” and we disclaim liability for any unavailability or reduced performance resulting from your cookie settings. We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on the Site with an updated “effective date.” Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance. This Policy is governed by the laws of Canada and applicable provincial laws, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to this Policy shall be resolved in accordance with our Terms of Use. If any portion of this Policy is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder will continue in effect. This Policy is provided in English; in the event of any translation, the English version will prevail.
