PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

This document sets out how Digital Forge LTD (“Digital Forge LTD”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website at https://mapletop10casinos.com (the “Website” or “Platform”) to provide a secure and functional user experience. These technologies support performance monitoring, user preferences, analytics, and the delivery of relevant content and advertising. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to operate correctly, while others help improve usability or gather statistical data. In certain cases, cookies may collect information that directly identifies an individual, or becomes personally identifiable when combined with other data. Any such information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), substantially similar provincial privacy statutes where applicable, and Québec’s Law 25, as well as applicable consumer protection and marketing laws, including Canada’s Anti Spam Legislation (CASL).

1. DEFINITION AND FUNCTION OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers and small data files placed on your device or browser when you access a website. They are used to verify identity, maintain session continuity, preserve user preferences, and facilitate lawful system operations. Cookies may be issued directly by the website operator (first-party cookies) or by authorized third-party service providers (third-party cookies). First-party cookies are deployed directly by MapleTop10Casinos.com to deliver core Platform functionality. Third-party cookies are implemented by approved partners for advertising, analytics, or compliance operations. Depending on their configuration, cookies may persist only for the session or across multiple visits. The cookies used on this Platform are classified as follows:

Type of Cookie Description
Session cookies Used for temporary data that expires when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies Remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.
First-party cookies Deployed by this website to deliver core Platform functionality.
Third-party cookies Implemented by approved partners for advertising and analytics.

All cookies are deployed in accordance with our obligations under Canadian privacy and marketing laws and internal information governance protocols.

2. PLATFORM APPLICATION OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

We use first and third party cookies to support secure, lawful, and efficient Platform operation. Some cookies are required for our Website to operate for technical reasons, referred to as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies allow us to understand engagement and to tailor the user experience. Our use of cookies and associated technologies includes:

  • Verifying session integrity for registered user areas and managing access controls.
  • Supporting user account functions relevant to our reviews platform, including login, saved preferences, province based age affirmation, and content localisation for Canada only users.
  • Detecting and preventing unauthorized access, suspicious activity, and potential misuse of Platform systems.
  • Enforcing legal and jurisdictional requirements, including geo controls, currency display in Canadian Dollar (CAD), and content restrictions for ineligible jurisdictions or underage users.
  • Collecting anonymised or pseudonymised performance data for internal analysis and diagnostics, including session duration, page performance, and error tracking.
  • Enabling lawful advertising functions, including campaign measurement, affiliate tracking, and consent based remarketing, consistent with CASL and Ad Standards Canada guidance.
  • Recording and applying user cookie preferences through a Google certified Consent Management Platform operating with Google Consent Mode v2.

Cookies that are necessary for Platform functionality and compliance may be deployed without your explicit consent. Non essential categories, including analytics and marketing cookies, are subject to opt in consent through our cookie banner and consent interface.

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES DEPLOYED ON THE PLATFORM

Cookies used on this Platform are grouped into compliance-based categories, each defined by their function and legal basis. This structure ensures transparency and supports appropriate consent management under Canadian privacy law and applicable platform policies. Each category is described below.

Category Purpose and Legal Basis
Strictly Necessary Cookies Maintain secure access, verify identity, prevent fraud, and ensure core functionality of the platform. Processed under legitimate interests and for the performance of requested services.
Functional Cookies Remember user preferences, save interface settings, and support smooth interaction across sessions. Processed under consent or legitimate interests, depending on configuration and context.
Performance and Analytics Collect anonymous usage data, track performance metrics, and analyse overall platform efficiency. Processed under user consent with results reported in aggregated and de-identified form.
Marketing and Affiliate Cookies Deliver relevant promotions, attribute affiliate activity, measure conversions, and limit ad repetition. Processed strictly under user consent and in accordance with marketing standards.
Unclassified Cookies Record temporary data during testing, diagnostics, or feature rollout phases. Processed only for internal review and disabled until properly categorised and assigned a lawful processing basis.

Third-party cookies are subject to contractual and technical due diligence. Partners must demonstrate privacy compliance, implement robust security controls, and ensure that any cross-border data transfers meet Canadian comparability standards. For Québec residents, this includes Law 25 compliance, privacy impact assessments, and appropriate safeguards.

4. IMPLEMENTATION OF NON-COOKIE TRACKING METHODS

In addition to cookies, we deploy other technologies that recognise and track visits and interactions with our content for strictly defined purposes. These technologies include:

Technology Type Description
Tracking Pixels Record page impressions, ad views, and campaign events.
JavaScript Tags Measure interactions and render dynamic content.
Local Storage Objects Store persistent user preferences and consent states.
Script Based Analytics Client side libraries for runtime monitoring and event tracking.

These technologies are governed by our Consent Management Platform and internal controls, restricted to the minimum data footprint necessary. Where they contribute to the collection of personal information, the same transparency, consent, and access obligations under PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws apply.

5. USER CONTROL OF COOKIE CONSENT PREFERENCES

You control how non essential cookies are used on your device. Preferences can be managed through our on site Cookie Consent Manager, which lets you accept or reject non essential categories in line with your privacy choices. Essential cookies, required for core functionality and security, cannot be disabled. The Consent Manager is accessible via the initial banner and through a persistent “Manage cookies” link on the Website. If you decline certain cookies, you may still browse the Website, although some features may not function properly. Through the Consent Management Platform, which follows IAB standards and implements Google Consent Mode v2, you can:

  • Accept or reject specific categories of non essential cookies.
  • View details on each cookie, including provider, purpose, and expiry.
  • Modify or withdraw consent at any time, which we will honour promptly.
  • Trigger deletion of non essential cookies upon withdrawal where technically feasible.
  • Store preferences that are reapplied on future visits, subject to browser settings.

Where cookies involve personal information, your rights under Canadian privacy laws remain unaffected. You may request access, correction, or deletion by contacting: support@mapletop10casinos.com.

6. BROWSER-LEVEL COOKIE AND SITE DATA MANAGEMENT

  • View, block, or delete cookies, individually or in bulk
  • Disable third party cookies independently from first party cookies
  • Apply cookie rules to specific websites
  • Clear local storage and site specific data
  • Set global or per site cookie preferences

7. USE OF FLASH COOKIES AND LOCAL STORAGE OBJECTS

We may occasionally use Local Shared Objects, referred to as Flash Cookies, to provide enhanced functionality and preserve user settings in legacy modules. Flash Cookies are stored separately from standard browser cookies and cannot be managed through typical browser settings. These technologies may be used to:

  • Retain user consent preferences within legacy components
  • Maintain state for interactive features requiring persistent data
  • Deliver embedded media with consistent playback settings

To manage or delete Flash Cookies, use the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager. Flash technology has been deprecated and is unsupported by most modern browsers. We do not rely on Flash for core functionality. Any remaining Flash based components are optional, with HTML5 or similar alternatives provided where possible. Disabling Flash Cookies may limit access to certain legacy features.

8. TARGETED ADVERTISING AND MARKETING TECHNOLOGIES

We partner with third party advertising providers that may place cookies or similar technologies on your device to deliver targeted advertisements via our Platform. These technologies allow presentation of content that is more relevant to your interests, based on your activity across our site and others, and enable performance measurement. Data used for advertising is pseudonymised or de identified and does not enable us to directly identify you, unless you voluntarily provide such information. Advertising and tracking technologies are implemented in compliance with Canadian privacy law, CASL, the Competition Act, Ad Standards Canada guidance, and platform rules, including Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising policies. We do not use sensitive personal information for targeting.

These technologies allow us to:

  • Serve personalised ads to users who have provided valid consent
  • Track ad impressions, engagement, and conversions
  • Attribute traffic from affiliates, partners, and referral networks
  • Conduct lawful remarketing to reach prior visitors
  • Segment audiences using pseudonymised behavioural data
  • Apply age based restrictions and exclude sensitive categories

Recognised platforms and solutions include:

  • Google Ads, including Conversion Tracking and Remarketing
  • Microsoft Ads with Universal Event Tracking
  • CookieYes CMP and other IAB TCF compliant consent solutions

We do not knowingly show personalised advertising to users who have not reached the legal gambling age in their province or territory of residence. We provide information only, we do not operate gambling services.

9. REVISIONS AND UPDATES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may revise this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in our practices, regulatory obligations, or operational requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent changes. If we make material changes that affect your rights, our data collection methods, or consent options, we will provide clear notice on the Platform.
