1. Statement of Purpose & Definitions
This Cookie Policy explains how CanadaLottoHub ("we", "us", "our") deploys cookies, local storage objects, and related tracking scripts when you visit canadalottohub.ca. A cookie is a small alphanumeric text file stored on your computer or mobile terminal that enables our platform to recognize your browser, maintain active fantasy lineup configurations, and protect account security.
2. Regulatory Framework in Canada
Our cookie management architecture operates under the federal guidelines of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) and PIPEDA principles, ensuring informed consent is obtained prior to activating optional performance or functional cookies.
3. Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies
Essential cookies are crucial for the basic operation of canadalottohub.ca and cannot be disabled in our systems. They maintain session authentication, persist 18+ age verification affirmations, and prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) during roster submissions.
4. Category 2: Performance & Telemetry Cookies
Performance cookies measure latency, asset load times, and data feed synchronization speeds across Canadian ISPs. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized metric telemetry and do not contain personally identifiable records.
5. Category 3: Functional & Preference Cookies
Functional cookies remember your custom settings, such as your active player search filters (e.g. QB, RB, WR), mobile touch slider preferences, and time zone configurations for kickoff schedules.
6. Category 4: Security & Anti-Fraud Telemetry
To guarantee tournament fair play, our systems utilize specialized security identifiers to detect rapid automated bots, duplicate lineup collision schemes, and unauthorized credential stuffing attempts.
7. HTML5 Local Storage & Session Storage
In addition to conventional HTTP cookies, we utilize HTML5 Web Storage (`localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) to store client-side draft cache, current 6-player roster slots, and cookie banner consent status without continuous server requests.
8. Strict Prohibition of Third-Party Ad Trackers
CanadaLottoHub explicitly enforces a zero-third-party advertising tracker policy. We do not permit external behavioral tracking networks or data brokers to plant tracking beacons on canadalottohub.ca.
9. Cookie Lifespan & Expiration Schedules
Cookies deployed on our domain are classified by duration:
- Session Cookies: Temporary files erased automatically once you close your web browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for designated durations (e.g. 30 days for age verification, 12 months for cookie consent preferences) unless manually cleared.
10. User Control & Consent Modification
You possess the sovereign right to alter or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time. Clicking the Cookie Settings trigger in our platform footer allows you to switch between "Essential Only" and "Accept All" modes immediately.
11. Browser-Level Cookie Management
All mainstream web browsers (Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge) provide settings to block or delete cookies entirely. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will render the interactive team builder and match simulation unavailable.
12. Do Not Track (DNT) & Global Privacy Signals
Our infrastructure respects Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) headers broadcast by modern browsers, automatically defaulting non-essential telemetry to disabled status upon detection.
13. Revisions to Tracking Framework
We review our technological tracking inventory annually or whenever new fantasy analytical features are introduced. Revisions are published here with updated version timestamps.
