Cookie Policy

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, 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. An Accept All choice also creates a non-identifying, first-party session cookie so an eligible sponsored-link redirect can determine whether iCanBet may record a click. Without that cookie, the redirect can continue but iCanBet does not create a click record or click-tracking cookie. Examples of optional technologies include Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager, Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, affiliate-network attribution pixels, and platform telemetry 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 the stored preference and server-visible consent signal, then re-opens the consent banner so you can pick again.

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 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 [email protected] 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.
