Last Updated: December 27, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Canada Jackpot Radar ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, CanadaJackpotRadar.com, and when you use our licensed online lottery ticket services.
We are a licensed online lottery ticket service for adults 19+ in Canada. Cookies help us operate your player account, process official ticket purchases, keep the website secure and improve your experience, while respecting Canadian privacy regulations, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences, activity and settings.
Cookies can be classified by their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically erased whenever you close your browser window. We use these to maintain your session while you are logged into your player account, for example when you review your ticket history.
- Persistent Cookies: These usually have an expiration date in the future and remain in your browser until they expire or you manually delete them. We use these to remember your preferences (such as language, region or display settings) for your next visit.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for specific, limited purposes to ensure that our website and our licensed lottery ticket service function correctly and securely. Cookies help us:
- Operate and protect your player account and login session.
- Process official lottery ticket purchases and keep your selections linked to your account.
- Remember your basic preferences (for example language or display mode).
- Understand how our website and purchase flows are used so we can improve them.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive banking details from your device, and we do not sell your cookie data to third parties for their own gambling advertising campaigns.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site (for example your player dashboard), maintaining your login session and enabling basic forms and payment-related pages. Without these cookies, services like account login and secure processing of purchases cannot be provided.
3.2 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred language, region, display mode, or certain responsible-play settings. This enables us to provide a smoother and more personalized experience when you return.
3.3 Performance & Analytical Cookies
We use these cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how users move through registration and purchase steps, and whether error messages appear. These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies you. All information collected is aggregated and used only to help us improve how our site and services work.

If you choose to block certain cookies (especially strictly necessary cookies), you may still be able to browse general information on our website, but some core features — such as logging into your player account, saving preferences or completing ticket purchases — may not function properly.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings:

- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
6. Third-Party Technologies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use third-party cookies and similar technologies in connection with analytics, security and payment processing. For example, analytics providers may use cookies to help us understand how visitors use our website in aggregate, and certain payment service providers may place cookies as part of their fraud-prevention and transaction-processing measures.
We do not control the specific data collected by these third parties, but we aim to configure their tools in a way that respects your privacy (for example, by masking IP addresses where possible and limiting data retention periods).
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use, the services we provide, or to comply with new legal or regulatory requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
