Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on red-baron-ca.com, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're widely used to make sites work properly, remember your preferences, and give site owners information about how their pages are used. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware.
Similar technologies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, work in comparable ways. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these technologies unless we say otherwise.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three main purposes: keeping the site functional, understanding how visitors use it, and tracking affiliate referrals so we can earn commissions when we refer you to a licensed operator.
We do not use cookies to build individual advertising profiles or sell your data to data brokers.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They handle things like security, session management, and remembering your cookie consent choice. You cannot opt out of these without disabling cookies in your browser entirely, which would affect how most websites work for you.
- Cookie consent record: stores your cookie preference so we don't ask you every time you visit.
- Session cookies: temporary cookies deleted when you close your browser, used to maintain basic site functionality.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand which pages are popular, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve our content. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat): set by Google to track usage statistics. Google may transfer this data outside Canada. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using Google's opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Analytics cookies are set only with your consent.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click a link to a third-party gambling operator, we and the affiliate network we work with may place a cookie on your device. This cookie records that you arrived at the operator's site via our referral. If you register or deposit, we receive a commission. The cookie does not give us access to your account at the operator or any of your personal or payment details.
- Affiliate click ID cookies: typically persist for 30 to 90 days depending on the affiliate network and operator program.
These cookies are set only with your consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some content on this site may be served by third parties, such as embedded video players or social sharing buttons. Those third parties may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. We do not control those cookies. Check the relevant third party's policy for details.
