Cookies & Tracking Policy

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. We use cookies to make AuroraNorth Lotto work efficiently and to provide a seamless ticket-building experience.

2. Local Storage vs. Cookies

In addition to traditional cookies, AuroraNorth Lotto utilizes "Local Storage" technology. Unlike cookies, data in Local Storage is stored securely within your browser and is not sent to our server with every network request. We use this primarily to save your shopping cart contents (ticket lines and draw selections) so they don't disappear if you refresh the page or navigate away before checking out.

3. How We Use These Technologies

We use cookies and Local Storage for the following specific purposes:

• Essential Functionality: These are required for the website to function. For example, remembering which numbers you picked for your game lines and maintaining your cart total as you move between the Home and Results pages.
• Security: We use these technologies to help identify and prevent security risks.
• Performance: We may use cookies to measure how fast pages load and to spot errors in the user interface.

4. Third-Party Services

Some content on our site is provided by third parties who may also use cookies. Specifically:

• Font Awesome: We use this service to display icons (like the shopping cart and flags). They may use cookies for usage statistics and performance monitoring.
• Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to ensure our typography is legible across all devices. Google may collect data regarding font file requests.

5. Managing Your Preferences

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies and Local Storage through their settings preferences. You can usually find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.

Please note: If you disable Local Storage or Cookies, the "Add to Cart" and "Ticket Builder" features on AuroraNorth Lotto will not function, and you will be unable to organize your entries.

6. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legislation. We encourage Canadian users to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
