Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-28
This Cookie Policy explains how this website (the "Site") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It supplements our Privacy Policy and forms part of our Terms and Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. We also use similar technologies including local storage, session storage, web beacons and pixels — collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Typical retention | Consent required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enable core functionality such as page navigation, security, and remembering whether you've dismissed the cookie banner. The Site cannot function correctly without these. | Session or up to 1 year | No (legitimate interest under PIPEDA) |
| Analytics | Help us understand aggregate traffic patterns: which pages are read, how long visitors stay, which devices are used, and where errors occur. Data is anonymised or aggregated where possible. | Up to 26 months | Yes |
| Marketing / affiliate | Track outbound clicks on partner CTAs to attribute referrals correctly. May involve third-party platforms operated by our affiliate partners. | Up to 90 days | Yes |
| Preferences | Remember user-chosen settings such as preferred language, layout, or banner-dismissal state. | Up to 1 year | Yes |
3. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by us directly. Third-party cookies are set by external services (analytics providers, content-delivery networks, affiliate-tracking platforms) that we engage to help operate the Site. Each third party operates its own privacy policy, which you can review on their respective sites.
4. Your Choices
You control how cookies are used on your device:
- Cookie banner: when you first visit, you can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies through our cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the Site relies on them.
- Browser settings: all major browsers let you delete existing cookies and block new ones. Instructions are usually found in the browser's privacy or settings menu. Note that disabling all cookies may degrade Site functionality.
- Withdraw consent later: you can revoke previously granted consent by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the Site, where the cookie banner will reappear.
Browser-specific guides:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari (macOS): Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Safari (iOS): Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry-wide consensus on how to interpret DNT, this Site does not currently respond to DNT signals as a categorical opt-out. You can still manage cookies using the methods described above.
6. Cookies and Children
The Site is not intended for individuals below the legal gambling age in their province. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect data about minors. If you believe a minor's device has been used to access the Site, clearing the browser's cookies and history is recommended; you may also email us at support@stardacasino.com for assistance.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change or new tools are added. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
