Cookie Policy for kahnawakecasinolicense.net (Ireland)

Welcome to kahnawakecasinolicense.net. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website from Ireland. It forms part of our user-facing documentation and should be read together with our Privacy Policy and, where relevant, our Terms of Use. By continuing to browse our website after seeing a cookie notice or by selecting your preferences in our consent tools, you consent to the placement and reading of cookies as described here, except where cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the site.

This Policy is designed in accordance with Irish and EU data protection and ePrivacy rules, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish ePrivacy Regulations. In this Policy, “cookies” also refers to similar technologies such as local storage, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, and device identifiers. If you have any questions or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at [email protected].

What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They can be set by the website owner (first-party cookies) or by third parties providing services through the website (third-party cookies). Cookies can be “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain for a set period or until you delete them. We use cookies to deliver our website securely, remember your preferences, understand how our content is used, and improve the user experience for visitors in Ireland.

We categorise our cookies by purpose. Some cookies are essential to the functioning of our website and do not require your consent. Others, such as analytics or marketing cookies, are used only with your consent. The purposes include ensuring security and fraud prevention, enabling site features, measuring performance, and tailoring content to your interests.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Enable core features such as page navigation, security, load balancing, and access to restricted areas. Without these, the site may not function properly. Typical duration: session to 12 months.
Preferences (Functional) Cookies: Remember choices you make, such as language or region, and customize your experience. Disabling these may reduce site convenience. Typical duration: session to 12 months.
Analytics and Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with pages (e.g., page views, time on page, navigation flows) so we can improve content and design. Data is aggregated or pseudonymised where possible. Set only with your consent. Typical duration: session to 24 months.
Marketing and Personalisation Cookies: May be used to deliver or measure the effectiveness of information that could be of interest to you and to limit repetitive messaging. Set only with your consent. Typical duration: session to 24 months.
Security and Integrity Cookies: Assist with detecting unusual or malicious activity, preventing abuse, and maintaining service reliability. Typical duration: session to 12 months.
Consent Management Cookies: Store your cookie preferences and proof of consent, enabling us to honour your choices. Typical duration: up to 24 months.

We aim to minimise the use of personal data in cookies and respect the principle of data minimisation. We do not sell personal data. Where possible, we aggregate or pseudonymise analytics data and limit retention to what is strictly necessary for the stated purposes.

Your Choices, Consent and Managing Cookies

On your first visit from Ireland, you will see a cookie banner or settings module where you can accept all non-essential cookies, reject them, or tailor your preferences by category. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time via the same controls (where available) or by adjusting your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies. Note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality and availability of some features.

You can also control cookies via your browser. Most browsers allow you to: (a) view which cookies are stored, (b) delete cookies, (c) block third-party cookies, (d) block cookies from specific sites, or (e) block all cookies. Instructions vary by browser and device. If you enable “Do Not Track,” we will make reasonable efforts to respect it for non-essential processing where technically feasible, but our response may vary because there is no uniform industry standard. We maintain records of your consent choices to demonstrate compliance and may prompt you periodically to refresh your preferences.

Under GDPR, you have rights in relation to your personal data processed via cookies, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and to object—particularly to processing for direct marketing. You may also withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission in Ireland. If you are under 16, please obtain permission from your parent or guardian before consenting to non-essential cookies.

Types of Data Collected via Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may collect or infer technical and usage data associated with your device. We endeavour to avoid collecting directly identifiable information through cookies unless you provide it to us or we have a clear need and appropriate legal basis. The following categories describe the kinds of data that may be processed:

Device and browser information, such as device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, and basic device settings.
Network and connection data, including IP address (which may be truncated or otherwise processed to reduce identifiability) and general location derived from IP (country, region, or city level only).
Usage data, such as pages visited, time spent on pages, navigation paths, referring/exit pages, click events, scroll depth, and interaction with on-page elements.
Diagnostic and performance metrics, including load times, error messages, and service response information.
Consent status and preference signals, such as whether you accepted, rejected, or customised cookie categories and the timestamp of your decision.
Security-related signals used to detect anomalies or abuse patterns.

Legal bases: We rely on consent for non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics and marketing) and on legitimate interests or contractual necessity for strictly necessary cookies, to ensure the proper functioning and security of the site. We conduct balancing tests where legitimate interests apply and implement controls to limit the impact on your privacy.

Data Sharing, International Transfers and Security

We may engage service providers to help operate our website, measure performance, secure our systems, or manage consent. Where third parties set or read cookies on our site, they do so under our instructions and subject to appropriate contractual and technical safeguards. If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we implement appropriate transfer mechanisms, such as standard contractual clauses, coupled with supplementary measures as needed. We retain cookie-derived data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose and in accordance with our retention schedules. We use administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards to protect data, including access controls, encryption in transit where feasible, and data minimisation practices.

Nothing in this Policy limits your statutory rights under Irish or EU law. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim all warranties not expressly required by law and shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from the use or inability to use cookies or the website, except where such limitation is prohibited. This Policy is governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes that may arise in connection with it. If any part of this Policy is held invalid, the remainder will continue in full force and effect. We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. Material changes will be signposted on the site and, where appropriate, we will seek renewed consent. For queries or to exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected]. Effective date appears below and supersedes prior versions on and from that date.
