1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Cascades Casino Langley. It explains what cookies are, how they are used, the legal basis for their use, and the rights available to users in connection with cookie-based data collection.
By continuing to use the website, a user acknowledges that this policy has been read and understood. Where consent is required before cookies are placed on a device, it will be requested through a cookie consent mechanism presented at the time of the first visit.
This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, which collectively set out how personal information is collected, processed, and protected.
2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is visited. They allow the website to recognize the device across pages and sessions. Cookies may store information such as session identifiers, language preferences, region settings, and anonymized usage data.
Similar technologies, including pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage objects, may be used for equivalent purposes. References to cookies in this document include these related technologies unless expressly stated otherwise.
3. Categories of Cookies Used
The website uses cookies falling into the following functional categories:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate. They enable core functions such as maintaining a session while navigating the site, applying security measures, and ensuring that access controls function correctly. These cookies do not require user consent, as they are essential to the delivery of the service requested.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance and analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited most frequently and whether error messages are received. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. This information is used to improve the structure and performance of the website.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices previously made, such as preferred language or region. They support a more consistent experience across sessions. Disabling these cookies may affect the availability or proper functioning of certain features.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Targeting and advertising cookies may be used to deliver content relevant to user interests based on browsing activity. They may also be used to measure the effectiveness of communications. Where these cookies collect data that can be linked to an identifiable individual, consent will be obtained before they are placed.
4. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Cascades Casino Langley operates in Canada and processes personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Where cookie-based data constitutes personal information under PIPEDA, meaning it can be linked to an identifiable individual, consent is required before collecting it, the purpose of collection must be explained, and appropriate security measures must be applied.
Only the data necessary for the purposes described in this policy is collected. Cookie-derived personal information is not retained beyond the period required for those purposes. Users have the right to request access to personal information held about them and to request correction of any inaccuracies. Responses to such requests will be provided within 30 days of receipt.
Where marketing-related cookies are used, consent to receive marketing communications may also be governed by Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Consent to marketing may be withdrawn at any time, and such requests will be processed within 10 business days.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies placed on the website may originate from third-party service providers, including analytics platforms and advertising networks. These third parties may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Third-party providers are not authorized to use cookie-derived data for their own marketing purposes without explicit user consent.
Personal data is shared with third-party suppliers only to the extent necessary to provide services. Personal information collected via cookies is not sold to third parties.
6. Data Retention
Data collected through cookies is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Strictly necessary and functional cookies typically expire at the end of the browser session or within a short defined period. Analytics and advertising cookies may persist for longer periods, as disclosed in the cookie consent interface.
Where cookie-derived data is linked to an account or transaction record, retention periods applicable to that record will govern how long associated tracking data is kept. Account-related activity data may be retained for auditing and dispute resolution purposes for a defined period following account closure.
7. Your Rights
Under applicable Canadian privacy law, users have the following rights in relation to personal information collected through cookies:
- Right of access - The right to request confirmation of whether personal information is held and to obtain a copy of that information.
- Right of correction - The right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal information be corrected.
- Right to withdraw consent - Where processing is based on consent, the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
- Right to restrict or object to processing - In certain circumstances, the right to request that processing of personal information be restricted or ceased, including where processing is based on legitimate interests such as fraud prevention.
- Right to data portability - Where technically feasible and permitted by applicable law, the right to request that personal information be provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Rights related to automated decision-making - Where decisions affecting a user are made solely through automated means, including profiling, the right to request human review of such decisions where permitted by law.
8. Managing Cookie Preferences

Browser settings may also be configured to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or availability of parts of the website.
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available in the help documentation provided by the respective browser providers.

Personal information, including cookie-derived data, is not knowingly collected from minors. If it becomes apparent that personal information has been collected from a minor, reasonable steps will be taken to delete that information promptly.
