Cookies keep the Alberta section working, tell us which pages are useful and let us measure affiliate links. This page explains each category and how to control it.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember something between page loads, such as whether you have already seen the cookie banner. Similar technologies, including local storage and pixels, work in a comparable way, and this policy covers them too.
Categories we use
| Category | What it does | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Loads the site, keeps it secure, balances traffic and remembers your cookie choice. The site cannot work properly without these. | verifer.com and its hosting provider |
| Analytics | Counts visits and page views, shows which guides and tools are used and how visitors reached the site. Reported in aggregate. | Our analytics provider |
| Affiliate attribution | Records that a casino link was followed, so that a sign-up can be credited to verifer.com and commission calculated. It does not give us your casino account details. | Affiliate networks and operators |
| Preferences | Remembers a choice you made on the site, such as dismissing a notice, so that it is not shown again. | verifer.com |
What we do not use cookies for
We do not use cookies to collect your name, email address, payment details or identity documents. We do not use them to build a profile of you across unrelated websites, and we do not sell cookie data. The casinos you visit have their own cookies once you leave our site.
How consent works
The first time you visit, a banner at the bottom of the page explains the categories above. Strictly necessary cookies are set because the site needs them. Analytics, affiliate and preference cookies are set only after you choose, and the button that refuses all of them sits next to the button that accepts them, the same size and the same weight.
The banner offers three actions: Accept all, Reject all and Manage preferences, where every optional category can be switched on or off on its own. Nothing is ticked in advance. The choice is stored on your device and is asked for again only if you clear cookies or the list of cookies changes.
Change or withdraw a choice at any time with the button below, from the footer link on any page, or in your browser settings. Refusing non-essential cookies does not block the guides, reviews or tools. It may mean we cannot count your visit or attribute a link, which affects our reporting but not what you can read.
Cookie settings
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you see, block and delete cookies. The setting usually sits under privacy or site data in the browser menu. You can also browse in a private window, which clears cookies when you close it.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage website data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and site data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
If you block all cookies, some parts of the site may not remember your choices, and the cookie banner may appear on every visit.
Third-party cookies
Analytics and affiliate cookies are set by the providers named in our privacy policy, not directly by us. Their own policies explain how they handle data and how to opt out. Blocking third-party cookies in your browser stops most of them.
How long cookies last
Session cookies disappear when you close the browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period, which depends on the cookie and its purpose; analytics and affiliate cookies generally need to last long enough to count a visit or a sign-up. You can delete persistent cookies at any time in your browser.
