Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences between visits, and to provide information to website operators about how their sites are being used. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are referred to as "first-party cookies," while cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."
In addition to traditional browser cookies, modern websites like BestCanadaSocialPlay also use browser storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage. These work similarly to cookies in that they store small pieces of data in your browser, but they are managed differently and are not transmitted to our servers. On this Platform, we use localStorage to store your game progress, virtual coin balance, age verification confirmation, and preferences directly on your device.
Cookies and browser storage are essential tools that allow us to provide you with a seamless and personalized entertainment experience. Without certain essential cookies, the Platform would not function correctly — for example, the Platform could not remember that you have already confirmed your age, and you would be asked to verify your age on every single page visit.
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as confirming your age or accepting or declining our cookie policy. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as remembering that you have already passed the age gate — cannot be provided. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but doing so may cause some parts of the Platform to stop working correctly.
Functional cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you have made and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies are used to remember your coin balance so that it persists between sessions, and to retain your game preferences such as audio settings or preferred game speed. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you disable functional cookies, some features of the Platform may not work as intended, and your preferences will not be saved between visits.
We may use analytics cookies to help us understand how users interact with the Platform in aggregate. These cookies collect information about how many people visit the Platform, which games are most popular, how long sessions last, and what technical errors users encounter. All analytics data is collected and processed in an anonymized or aggregated form that cannot be used to identify individual users. We use this information solely to improve the Platform's performance and to make better decisions about which new features and games to develop. You can opt out of analytics cookies by selecting "Decline" on our cookie consent banner.
The cookies and localStorage data we use on BestCanadaSocialPlay serve several specific purposes related to providing a consistent and personalized social gaming experience.
We use browser storage to remember your age verification so that once you have confirmed you are 18 or older, you are not prompted to re-confirm on every subsequent visit. This is stored as a simple flag in localStorage under the key bcs_age_verified and contains no personal information — only a confirmation value and a timestamp.
We use a cookie to remember your cookie consent preference. When you click "Accept All" or "Decline" on our cookie banner, your choice is stored under the key bcs_cookies_ok so that the banner does not reappear on future visits. This preference is respected on all pages of the Platform.
Your virtual coin balance is stored in localStorage under the key bcs_coins so that your balance persists between gaming sessions. This data is stored entirely on your own device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings or through the self-exclusion tools available on our Responsible Gaming page.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can exercise your initial cookie preference using the cookie consent banner displayed when you first visit the Platform. You can also change your preferences at any time by clearing the bcs_cookies_ok key from your browser's localStorage, which will cause the cookie banner to reappear on your next visit.
All modern web browsers provide settings that allow you to control how cookies and other browser storage are handled. Below are brief instructions for clearing cookies and localStorage data in the most commonly used browsers:
Google Chrome: Open Settings, navigate to Privacy and Security, then click "Clear browsing data." Select "Cookies and other site data" and choose your desired time range. You can also manage site-specific storage by clicking the padlock icon in the address bar while on our site, then selecting "Cookies and site data."
Mozilla Firefox: Open Options (or Preferences on macOS), go to Privacy and Security, and under Cookies and Site Data, click "Clear Data." For site-specific clearing, click the padlock icon in the address bar, then select "Clear Cookies and Site Data" for bestcanadasocialplay.com.
Apple Safari: Open Preferences, go to the Privacy tab, and click "Manage Website Data." You can search for bestcanadasocialplay.com and remove only that site's data, or you can remove all website data.
Microsoft Edge: Open Settings, navigate to Privacy, search, and services, then click "Choose what to clear" under Clear browsing data. Select "Cookies and other site data" and click "Clear now." You can also manage site-specific data through the padlock icon in the address bar.
Please be aware that clearing cookies and localStorage for the Platform will reset your age verification status, cookie consent preference, and virtual coin balance. You will need to re-confirm your age on your next visit, and your coin balance will be reset to the new-user starting amount.
We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, that set their own cookies to collect anonymized information about Platform usage. These analytics providers operate under their own privacy policies and data processing agreements with us that restrict how they can use data collected from our Platform. Google Analytics is configured on our Platform to anonymize IP addresses, disable advertising features, and prevent data sharing with Google's advertising products.
We do not permit any third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or affiliate marketing cookies on the Platform. We do not engage in retargeted advertising or cross-site tracking of our users. If you decline analytics cookies using our cookie banner, third-party analytics cookies will not be set during your visit.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also manage your preferences for Google services through your Google account settings if you have one.
