This page explains what information they collect, why we use them, and what happens if you choose to turn them off. You can also find more information at freshbetcanada.com.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a range of reasons, detailed in the sections below. In most cases there is no standard industry option to turn off specific cookies without fully disabling the features they support. If you are not sure whether you need a particular cookie, it is best to leave it active in case it is required for something you use on the site.

The Cookies We Set
If you subscribe to our newsletter or email updates, cookies may be used to check whether you are already registered and to control which notifications are shown to subscribers versus non-subscribers. We may also run surveys from time to time, and cookies help us track who has already taken part and show accurate results as you move between pages.

These cookies are needed for the platform to work properly. They hold minimal personal information and expire when you close your browser or after a set period of time.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, we also use cookies from trusted third parties. From time to time we test new features and make small adjustments to how the site is delivered. Cookies may be used during these tests to make sure you get a consistent experience while we check whether a change is working as intended.
Some of our partners promote FreshBet Canada through affiliate programs. Affiliate tracking cookies let us see whether a player came to the site through a partner link so we can credit the partner correctly and, where applicable, pass on any bonus the partner is provides.
We use social media buttons and plugins that let you connect with your social networks directly from our site. These social media platforms may set their own cookies through our site, which can be used to build your profile on their platform or for purposes outlined in their own privacy policies.

Game providers using cookies to deliver content and record activity for regulatory compliance
Analytics services collecting anonymous usage data to improve platform performance

FreshBet Canada selects third-party providers based on their data protection standards and compliance with privacy regulations. All partners are contractually required to handle cookies responsibly.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the FreshBet Canada platform to operate and cannot be turned off in our systems. They support basic functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and user authentication. The platform will not work properly without them.
Examples of essential cookies include:
Login session cookies keeping you signed in as you move between pages
Security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery and unauthorized actions
Load balancing cookies distributing server requests to maintain platform speed
Cart cookies keeping track of items selected before you complete a transaction

Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use FreshBet Canada, such as which pages are visited most often and whether any error messages appear. The data gathered is anonymous and used only to improve how the platform works.
Analytics cookies help us track:
Page view statistics showing which content gets the most attention from Canadian players
Traffic sources showing how players find and reach the platform
Navigation patterns identifying common paths players take through the site
Error frequency helping developers spot and fix technical issues quickly
Page load times measured across different devices and connection types
Feature usage data showing which parts of the platform get the most interaction
FreshBet Canada uses Google Analytics and similar tools to collect this data. All information is aggregated and anonymized so individual users cannot be identified. You can opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings without affecting the main platform.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies let FreshBet Canada store choices you make, such as your language, currency, or display settings. These cookies give you a more personalized experience each time you return to the platform.
Functionality cookies store:
Language preferences so content appears in your chosen language across sessions
Currency settings keeping CAD as your selected currency throughout your session
Display settings such as dark mode, text size, or layout preferences
Username data for automatic login field completion
Game filter selections storing your favourite categories or provider choices
Notification preferences controlling which alerts and updates you receive
If you turn off functionality cookies, you will need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit FreshBet Canada. The platform will still work, but your experience will be less personalized and will require repeated setup.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies track browsing activity across websites to show promotional content that matches your interests. FreshBet Canada and its advertising partners use these cookies to display offers and bonuses that are more likely to be relevant to you.
Advertising cookies are used to:
Show targeted promotions that match your gaming preferences and betting activity
Cap ad frequency so you do not see the same promotion too many times
Measure campaign results to see which marketing messages generate the most engagement
Recognize your device across desktop and mobile for a consistent experience
Show relevant offers when you visit other websites
You can turn off advertising cookies through your browser settings or via opt-out tools provided by advertising networks. Doing so does not reduce the number of ads you see, but it makes them less specific to your interests. FreshBet Canada respects your opt-out choices and has other channels for sharing promotional information.
Cookie Lifespan and Storage Duration
Cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time depending on their type and purpose. Knowing how long cookies last helps you make decisions about privacy and how you manage them.
Cookie duration categories include:
Session cookies that expire automatically when you close your browser
Short-term cookies lasting a few days or weeks, used for features like language preferences
Medium-term cookies lasting several months to keep login sessions and settings in place
Long-term cookies stored for up to one year, used for analytics and advertising purposes
FreshBet Canada reviews cookie durations regularly to make sure they are proportionate to their purpose. We keep storage periods as short as possible while still providing a working and convenient platform. Expired cookies are deleted automatically by your browser on a set schedule.
Your Cookie Choices and Control
FreshBet Canada respects your right to control how cookies are used and gives you several ways to manage your preferences. You have full control over non-essential cookies, while essential cookies remain necessary for the platform to operate.
Cookie management options include:
A cookie consent banner on your first visit letting you accept or decline specific categories
Browser settings for managing cookies across all websites you visit
A privacy settings page in your account dashboard where you can update preferences at any time
Third-party opt-out tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative for advertising cookie control
Do Not Track browser signals, respected where technically possible and required by law
Changes to your cookie preferences apply to future visits right away but do not remove cookies already stored on your device. Use your browser tools to delete existing cookies if needed. FreshBet Canada has step-by-step cookie management instructions for popular browsers on our support pages.

We let users know about policy changes through:
Website banners highlighting policy updates and linking to the revised content
Email notifications to registered users when material changes affect cookie practices
A version history keeping previous policy versions on record for reference
An effective date clearly shown to indicate when updated provisions come into force
