Cookie Policy and Tracking Practices
This Cookie Policy outlines how Betsider collects, stores, and manages technical data when you navigate our platform in Canada. We use cookies, web beacons, and local browser storage to ensure site stability, verify active sessions, personalize your preferences, and gather operational analytics. By accessing the site, you acknowledge our use of cookies in accordance with Canadian data protection principles and our broader Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They enable the system to recognize your device across multiple visits, remember your language and region settings, and maintain secure authentication states during your betting sessions. Betsider utilizes four primary classifications of tracking technologies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for platform navigation and security. These tokens verify your account login status, manage load balancing across Canadian servers, and prevent fraudulent activity. Because the platform cannot operate properly without them, these cannot be disabled in our preference manager.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: Used to evaluate traffic volume, page load speeds, and user navigation paths across our sports betting markets and casino pages. All analytical data is aggregated and anonymized to help us optimize server capacity and interface responsiveness.
- Functionality Cookies: Enable the platform to remember personalized selections, such as preferred odds formats (decimal, fractional, or American), language settings, and customized interface views.
- Marketing and Affiliate Tracking: Record referral pathways from partner portals and measure the efficiency of promotional campaigns without collecting direct personal identifiers.
Most web browsers allow you to manage or block cookies through their individual privacy settings. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you before a cookie is placed. However, disabling essential cookies may impact specific features, such as processing secure deposits or keeping your account session active. For queries regarding our data retention practices or technical compliance, please consult our Terms and Conditions or reach out through our Customer Support channels.
