Grizzly's Quest Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on grizzlysquest.online, what each category does and how you can change your preferences. Cookies are small files that the site saves on your device so that information from one visit can be remembered on the next. They make most modern websites usable and removing them entirely would mean losing the ability to stay logged in, keep a game session running or save your interface settings.
You see the cookie banner the first time you visit the site. The banner offers an accept or reject choice. Accepting turns on the optional categories described below. Rejecting leaves only the strictly necessary cookies in place, which is enough to use the site but means you opt out of analytics and marketing tracking. You can change your decision at any time from the cookie preferences link in the footer.
What cookie categories do we use?
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site functional. They handle login sessions, security tokens, your shopping cart on the cashier, language preferences and the underlying technical state that makes pages render. We cannot turn these off and the law does not require consent for them. Without them the site simply does not work.
Performance and analytics cookies tell us how players use the site in aggregate. They count visits, measure page load times, track which games are popular and surface usability issues. We work with established providers like Google Analytics and a smaller set of product analytics tools to make sense of the data. Information collected through these cookies is aggregated and does not identify individual players.
Functional cookies remember your preferences. They handle things like dark mode versus light mode, language choice, hidden tutorials and the layout settings you customise inside the lobby. Marketing cookies support our advertising on third party sites and let us measure whether a campaign performed. They are the category that touches the broadest set of partners, including Facebook, Google Ads and a small number of affiliate networks that help us reach Canadian players.
How do I change my cookie preferences?
The cookie preferences panel is always one click away from the footer link labelled Cookie Preferences. Open it, toggle the categories you want on or off and confirm. The change takes effect immediately. Strictly necessary cookies remain on regardless of what you choose because they are required for the site to function. Every other category respects your choice on every page you visit from that point on.
You can also change cookie behaviour at the browser level. Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all let you block third party cookies, clear cookies on exit or block specific domains. Doing so is a stricter control than the preferences panel because it applies across every site you visit, not just this one. The trade off is that some site functionality breaks when cookies are blocked aggressively, especially around login and payment flows.
Do you use anything other than cookies?
Yes, the site also uses a small set of similar technologies that fall under the same policy. Local storage and session storage save settings on your device the same way cookies do but without sending the data back to the server on every request. Pixels and tracking tags embedded in marketing emails let us see whether the message was opened and whether the recipient clicked through. Server log files record IP addresses, browser type and the pages you requested for security and debugging.
All of these technologies fall under the same consent rules as cookies. If you reject optional categories in the cookie banner, the related local storage entries and marketing pixels are also disabled. The only items that stay active are the ones strictly necessary for the site to work and the security logs we are required to keep for fraud prevention and regulatory compliance.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
Cookies fall into two timing categories. Session cookies disappear the moment you close your browser. They handle things like the current login session or a draft message to support. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period that ranges from a few days for short term preferences up to two years for marketing partners that want to recognise returning visitors.
The longest persistent cookies are reserved for the analytics and marketing categories, because measuring the impact of a campaign only works if you can compare data over time. You can clear all persistent cookies at any moment from your browser settings without losing access to the site. The next visit simply reissues the cookies you have agreed to and skips the categories you have rejected.
Cookies are an everyday part of using a modern website and the goal of this policy is to make our use of them transparent. If a specific cookie raises a question, send us a note at privacy@grizzlysquest.online and we will explain what it does and how to turn it off. We update this page whenever the cookie set changes and we publish the date of the most recent update at the top.
What do we do with third party tags?
A small number of trusted partners drop tags on the site under the categories described above. Analytics partners measure how the lobby is used in aggregate so we can tell which sections need work. Marketing partners help us reach the right Canadian players with the right offer at the right time and measure whether those campaigns actually delivered. Every third party operates under a written data processing agreement that limits what they can do with the information collected through our cookies, and none of them are allowed to resell the data or use it for purposes outside the contract.
We review the list of third party tags on a quarterly cycle and remove anything that is not pulling its weight. The current list lives inside the cookie preferences panel under the relevant category, with a short description of what each provider does. If a partner ever changes the scope of what their tag collects, the entry in the panel updates first and the change rolls out across the site only after that. Transparency works both ways. If you spot something in the panel that does not look right or that you want more detail on, support is the right contact and the team will route the question to the privacy team for a written answer.
