Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to supply information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, font size, and other display preferences. Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties who provide services to that website, such as analytics or advertising providers (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can also be classified by their duration: "session cookies" are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and JavaScript-based tracking scripts. These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies and are subject to the same controls and preferences described in this policy.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several important purposes. First, cookies are essential for certain basic website functions. Without them, some parts of our website may not work as intended, navigation between pages could be disrupted, and security features could be compromised. Second, cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. By analyzing data about page views, time on site, bounce rates, and navigation patterns, we can identify which content is most valuable to our visitors and make informed decisions about how to improve the website. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. Third, cookies support our ability to deliver a personalized experience. They remember your preferences so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit or navigate between pages. Finally, certain cookies support our affiliate marketing activities by tracking referrals to our partner casinos, ensuring that we receive proper attribution when visitors we refer choose to register or deposit at those platforms.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website, each serving a distinct purpose:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic security features. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impairing the functionality of the website. Examples include cookies that maintain your session state as you navigate between pages, cookies that implement security measures to protect against cross-site request forgery, and cookies that load-balance server requests to ensure consistent performance.
• Analytics and Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, which links are clicked, and whether visitors encounter any error messages. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics provider, which sets cookies including _ga (expires after 2 years, used to distinguish unique users), _ga_* (expires after 2 years, used to persist session state), and _gid (expires after 24 hours, used to distinguish users). The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside your country of residence.
• Advertising and Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites and to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for individual users. They are also used to track the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to attribute conversions to the correct marketing channels. In the context of our affiliate marketing business, these cookies help track when a visitor clicks an affiliate link on our website and subsequently registers or deposits at a partner casino. These cookies may be set by our affiliate network partners and are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.
• Preference and Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may remember your preferred language, region, text size, or other customizable elements of the website interface. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to customizable parts of our web pages. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
• Social Media Cookies: If our website includes social media sharing buttons or embedded social media content, those social media platforms may set cookies on your device when you interact with their features or even simply when you load a page that contains their embedded content. These cookies are controlled entirely by the respective social media platforms and are subject to their own cookie and privacy policies. We have no control over the information collected by these third-party cookies.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies placed on your device can be categorized by how long they persist: Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are used to maintain your session state as you navigate between pages and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. For example, a session cookie might keep you on the correct version of our website as you click through different pages, or it might store temporary preferences that only apply to your current browsing session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created the cookie. For example, the Google Analytics _ga cookie persists for 2 years and is used to distinguish unique visitors to our website over time. The _gid cookie from Google Analytics persists for 24 hours and helps differentiate between visits within a single day. Functionality cookies that remember your language preference might persist for 1 year. You can view the specific expiration dates of cookies stored on your device through your browser's developer tools or cookie management settings. Most browsers allow you to see a list of all cookies along with their domain, path, expiration date, and size.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the setting of these cookies and they are subject to the respective third party's own cookie and privacy policies. Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics sets several cookies on your device to collect information about your interactions with our website. This information is transmitted to Google's servers and is used to generate reports about website activity. Google may also use this information to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Affiliate network tracking: When you click on affiliate links to our partner casinos, cookies may be set by the affiliate network to track your referral. These cookies typically contain a unique identifier that attributes your visit to our website. The duration of these cookies varies by affiliate network but typically ranges from 30 to 90 days. Content delivery networks: We may use CDN services that set cookies for performance optimization, load balancing, and security purposes. These cookies are essential for delivering website content reliably and securely. We regularly review the third-party cookies present on our website and aim to minimize unnecessary tracking. If you have concerns about specific third-party cookies, please contact us and we will provide additional information about the third parties involved and their data practices.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to the websites and other online services that a user visits. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals in your web browser. However, you can manage your tracking preferences through the cookie controls described in this policy and through the third-party opt-out mechanisms referenced above. We will continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and may update our practices in the future if a widely accepted standard is established. In the meantime, we encourage you to use the specific cookie management tools described in this policy to control how your data is collected and used on our website. For users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, our cookie consent mechanism provides granular control over which categories of cookies are placed on your device, regardless of your browser's DNT setting.

8. Cookie Consent

In accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject different categories of cookies. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website do not require consent and will be set regardless of your preferences. All other cookies, including analytics, marketing, functionality, and social media cookies, will only be set if you provide your consent. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your cookies through your browser settings. On your next visit, the consent banner will appear again, allowing you to make a different choice. You can also contact us at contact@big-bass-football-bonanza.org if you need assistance managing your cookie preferences. Your cookie consent preferences are stored in a cookie on your device for a period of 12 months. After this period, we will ask for your consent again.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. If we make material changes that significantly affect how we use cookies or the types of cookies we place on your device, we will provide a prominent notice on our website and, where required by law, will obtain fresh consent for any new non-essential cookies. The most current version of this Cookie Policy will always be available on our website.
