Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Northern Quest Casino (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website (the “Site”). It describes what cookies are, why we use them, what types we use, how long they stay on your device, and how you can control them.

This policy should be read alongside our other privacy materials and terms available on our site, including Northern Quest Casino’s main page.

What Cookies Are (and Why They Exist)

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your language preference, whether you’re logged in, and how you move through pages.

Similar technologies may also be used, such as pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, and server logs. In this policy, we refer to these collectively as “cookies” for simplicity.

How We Use Cookies to Power a Better Site Experience

We use cookies to support core operations and to improve your experience, including:

• Functionality - remembering preferences and helping pages behave the way you expect
• Security - helping detect suspicious activity, protect forms, and reduce fraud or abuse
• Performance - keeping the Site responsive and stable
• Analytics - understanding which pages are visited and how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and navigation
• Marketing (where applicable) - measuring campaign effectiveness and showing more relevant messaging

Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies). Others are set by service providers we use (third-party cookies).

Cookie Types We May Use

Essential Cookies - Required for the Site to Work

These cookies are necessary for basic Site operation. Without them, key features may not function properly. For example, essential cookies may help:

• Maintain session integrity as you move from page to page
• Protect the Site and our users by supporting security features
• Enable core services such as form submissions and load balancing

Because these cookies are needed for the Site to operate, they’re typically not optional through a cookie banner tool (though you can still block them using browser settings, which may break the Site).

Functional Cookies - Your Preferences, Remembered

Functional cookies help the Site remember choices you make so your experience feels consistent. For example, they may remember:

• Your preferred language or region
• Layout preferences or saved settings
• Whether you’ve dismissed certain notices

If you disable functional cookies, some personalization may not work, and you may have to reselect preferences each time you visit.

Performance and Analytics Cookies - What’s Working, What Needs Improvement

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve usability and performance. They can collect information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Navigation paths and clicks (in aggregated form)
• Error messages and page load timing

We use this information to improve content clarity, identify broken pages, and make the Site faster and easier to use.

Marketing Cookies - More Relevant Messaging (When Used)

Marketing cookies may be used to measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, and understand whether a campaign led to a visit or action on the Site. Depending on configuration, they may also help:

• Attribute visits to specific promotions or referral sources
• Build audiences for marketing (where permitted)
• Measure conversions and campaign effectiveness

If you opt out of marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it may be less relevant.

First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies come directly from our Site. Others are placed by third parties that provide services we use for hosting, analytics, security, embedded media, or marketing measurement.

Third-party cookies are governed by the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies to understand how they use information collected via cookies.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookies generally fall into two duration categories:

• Session cookies - temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies - cookies that remain until they expire or you delete them

The duration depends on the cookie’s purpose and settings.

Your Choices: How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You can control cookies in two main ways:

1. Cookie preference tools (when available on the Site) If we provide a cookie banner or preference center, you can use it to allow or reject non-essential cookie categories (such as analytics or marketing). Essential cookies are still used because the Site needs them to function.
2. Your browser settings Most browsers let you delete existing cookies and block some or all cookies going forward. The steps vary by browser, but typically you can find these controls under “Settings,” “Privacy,” or “Security.”

If you choose to block cookies, you may experience issues such as:

• Certain pages not loading correctly
• Preferences not saving
• Forms not submitting
• Reduced ability to detect and prevent fraudulent activity

If you want to remove cookies already stored, you can delete them through your browser. You can also set your browser to clear cookies automatically when you close it, though that may sign you out of sites and reset saved preferences.

Consent and Legal Bases (How We Handle Permission)

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies) on your device. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences (if a preference tool is available) or changing your browser settings.

Essential cookies are used to provide the Site and help keep it secure and stable.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there isn’t an agreed-upon industry standard for responding to DNT signals, our Site may not respond to DNT in a uniform way. You can still manage cookies through the methods described above.

Policy Updates - Keeping This Page Current

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate the Site. When we make updates, we will revise the policy on this page. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you acknowledge the updated policy.
