Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on out-of-the-woods-ca.com, and how you can control them. We use cookies in accordance with PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy law.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have seen a particular notice. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses.

Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies on this site.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function. They include session cookies that keep you logged in if you use any account feature, and security cookies that help protect the site from abuse. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies while continuing to use the site.

Session cookie: keeps your session active during a visit. Expires when you close your browser.
CSRF token cookie: protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery. Expires when you close your browser.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. These cookies collect information in aggregate and anonymised form. They tell us which pages are popular, how long visitors stay, and where traffic comes from. They do not identify you personally.

_ga: distinguishes users. Expires after 2 years.
_ga_[ID]: maintains session state. Expires after 2 years.
_gid: distinguishes users. Expires after 24 hours.

Google Analytics data is processed under a data processing agreement. Google may transfer data outside Canada. For details, see Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as your cookie consent decision. Without them, you may be asked for your preferences every visit.

cookie_consent: stores your cookie consent choice. Expires after 12 months.

Affiliate and Tracking Cookies

When you click an affiliate link to an operator such as 1Win, Stake, or Melbet, those operators may set their own cookies on your device to track referrals and attribute any registration or deposit to our affiliate account. We do not control those cookies. They are governed by each operator's own cookie and privacy policy. Check the operator's site for details.

How to Control Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways.

Cookie consent banner: when you first visit the site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies using our consent banner. You can change your choice at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.
Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Blocking all cookies may affect how the site works.
Google Analytics opt-out: install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data across all sites.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. We currently do not alter our data collection practices in response to Do Not Track signals, because there is no agreed Canadian or international standard for how sites should respond. We will revisit this position if a standard is adopted.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of the page will reflect any changes. We recommend checking this page periodically.
