Cookie Policy
Transparency about how we store data on your device.
Last Updated: November 24, 2025
At MapleBridge Lottery ("we", "us", "our"), we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any MapleBridge Lottery product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
In addition to traditional cookies, we use Local Storage (specifically
localStorage). This allows us to save data directly in your browser without
expiration dates, which is essential for the functionality of our demonstration features (like
your shopping cart and simulated login state).
2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage
We use these technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential Functionality: These are necessary for the website to function
and cannot be switched off in our systems. For example, we use
localStorageto remember the lottery numbers you have selected in your cart (`maplebridge_cart`) and to remember if you are "logged in" for the (`maplebridge_user`). - Performance & Analytics: These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
- Functional: These enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization (such as remembering your game preference tab).
3. Specific Technologies Used
Below is a list of the specific data storage keys we use in this demonstration environment:
- maplebridge_cart: Used to store your selected ticket combinations locally on your device.
- maplebridge_user: A simple flag used to simulate a logged-in state. No real authentication tokens are stored.
- Google Fonts / Font Awesome: We use third-party CDNs to load fonts and icons. These third parties may set their own cookies to track usage of their resources.
4. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Note: Clearing your browser's "Local Storage" or "Cookies" will reset your MapleBridge cart and log you out of the simulated session.
5. Canadian Privacy Compliance
Although MapleBridge Lottery is a fictional project, we strive to adhere to the principles of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties.
6. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
