This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar tracking technologies are collected, stored, and used when a user visits the Casino de Montreal website. It describes the types of cookies in use, the purposes for which they are applied, and the options available for managing cookie preferences.
By continuing to use the website after the cookie consent banner is presented, the user acknowledges having read this Cookie Policy and understood how cookies operate on the site.
This policy applies to all pages and services accessible through the Casino de Montreal website. It does not govern the data practices of any third-party websites that may be accessible through links on this site.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on a device by a website when it is visited. They allow the website to recognize the device on subsequent visits and to store certain information about user preferences or actions.
Cookies may be session-based, meaning they are deleted when the browser is closed, or persistent, meaning they remain on the device for a defined period or until they are deleted manually. Cookies may be set directly by this website (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on the pages of this website (third-party cookies).
2. Categories of Cookies Used
The following categories of cookies are used on the Casino de Montreal website:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and session management. Without these cookies, certain parts of the site cannot operate correctly.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require user consent and cannot be disabled through the website’s cookie settings. They can be disabled through browser settings, but doing so may prevent certain functions of the site from operating as intended.
2.2 Preferences and Functionality Cookies
Preferences and functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices made by the user, such as language selection or display settings. They are used to provide a more consistent experience across visits.
These cookies are not essential to the basic operation of the site but improve usability. They are activated only with user consent.
2.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies collect information about how visitors interact with the website, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long users remain on a page, and whether any errors occur. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
This information is used to understand how the site is used and to make improvements to its structure and content. Analytics cookies are activated only with user consent.
2.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies are used to track visits across websites and to deliver content that is relevant to the interests of individual users. They may be set by third-party advertising networks operating on the site.
Marketing cookies are activated only with user consent. If consent to this category is not provided, users may still see general content, but it will not be tailored based on browsing activity.
3. Cookie Consent and User Choices
When the website is accessed for the first time, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Through this banner, the user may:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Customize cookie preferences by category
The selection is recorded and applied immediately. Cookie preferences may be revisited and updated at any time by accessing the Cookie Settings option located in the footer of the website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
