Cookie Policy
Last reviewed: 2026-04-08
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us keep the site functional, remember preferences, measure performance, and support audience and attribution analysis.
2. Cookies We Use
We group cookies into two consent tiers that match what you see in our consent banner.
Essential Cookies (always on)
Necessary for site functionality, security, navigation, authentication via Stack Auth, age-gate state, and your consent choice itself. These cookies cannot be disabled because the site cannot operate without them. They do not transmit data to third parties for analytics or advertising.
Analytics & Marketing Cookies (require consent)
Used to measure site performance, understand which pages are read, and attribute affiliate referrals. We load these only after you click Accept All in the consent banner. Choosing Essential Only keeps all of these disabled. Examples: Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager, Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, affiliate-network attribution pixels, and platform telemetry that the publishing layer requires when enabled.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Depending on configuration, we may use:
- Google Analytics or similar analytics tooling for aggregate usage reporting
- Vercel Analytics or equivalent platform telemetry where enabled
- Stack Auth session cookies for login and access control
- WordPress or CMS delivery cookies where the publishing layer requires them
- Affiliate network cookies or pixels for sponsored-link attribution
4. Managing Your Cookies
You can change your choice at any time via the Manage Cookies link in the site footer — clicking it clears your stored preference and re-opens the consent banner so you can pick again. PIPEDA requires that withdrawing consent is as easy as granting it, and we treat both actions identically.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- Block all or specific cookies
- Delete cookies already stored
- Receive notifications when a cookie is set
Disabling essential cookies may affect login, age-gate flow, or province-specific presentation.
5. Your Rights and Choices
Under PIPEDA and related laws, you can request information about our cookie practices or opt out of non-essential tracking. Contact privacy@icanbet.ca if you want help with a request.
6. Updates to This Policy
We review this Cookie Policy regularly. If we change the way cookies are used or introduce a new third-party provider, we will update this page and the review date.
This policy is part of our commitment to transparent data practices. See our full Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for additional context.
