This Cookies Policy explains how the operator of ClickAndPlayGames (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website located at https://clickandplaygames.com (the “Website” or “Platform”). These technologies are deployed to ensure secure functionality, support essential operational features, measure Website performance, analyse user engagement, and manage lawful advertising and attribution activities where implemented.
Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function correctly and cannot be disabled. Other cookies are non-essential and are used for purposes such as analytics, measurement, optimisation and consent-based advertising controls. Non-essential cookies will only be activated where you have provided valid consent through an appropriate consent mechanism implemented on the Website (the “Consent Management Platform” or “CMP”), where such consent is required or appropriate under applicable Canadian privacy laws. Where configured, the CMP may support industry-standard consent frameworks and signals (for example, IAB TCF v2.2-compatible signals) and may enable or enforce consent states for measurement tools (including consent-mode style controls) to support transparency and partner compliance requirements.
Some cookies and tracking technologies may process information that constitutes personal information under Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and, where applicable, substantially similar provincial private-sector privacy statutes (including Quebec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act, and British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act). Any processing of personal information through cookies or equivalent technologies is carried out in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, the requirements of our Privacy Policy, and the configuration choices made available through the CMP and/or your browser.
This Cookies Policy describes:
- the categories of cookies and tracking technologies used on the Website;
- the purposes for which these technologies are deployed;
- the third parties that may set cookies through the Website; and
- the options available to you for managing or withdrawing consent to non-essential cookies.
By using the Website, you acknowledge that strictly necessary cookies will operate as required for the performance and security of the Platform. The use of any non-essential cookies will only occur where you have provided valid consent via the CMP or where otherwise permitted under applicable Canadian privacy laws. You may withdraw or adjust your consent preferences at any time, subject to technical limitations and the operation of your browser.
Cookies are small text files or alphanumeric identifiers that are stored on your device or browser when you access a website. They enable essential functions such as maintaining session integrity, preserving user preferences, supporting security features, and facilitating analytics and measurement operations.
Cookies may be placed directly by the operator of the Website (“first-party cookies”) or by authorised external service providers (“third-party cookies”). First-party cookies are deployed by the Platform to ensure the proper functioning, security and usability of the Platform. Third-party cookies may be set by approved partners for purposes including analytics, attribution, advertising compliance and performance monitoring. Cookies may expire at the end of a browsing session or persist for longer periods depending on their configuration.
The cookies used on this Website fall within the following classifications:
• Session cookies
Used to store temporary data that expires automatically when the browser is closed.
• Persistent cookies
Remain stored on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
• First-party cookies
Deployed directly by this Website to deliver core Platform functionality, security and stability.
• Third-party cookies
Implemented by approved external partners for analytics, attribution, advertising measurement and compliance purposes.
Cookies and similar technologies are deployed in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws and are limited to purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the sensitivity of the information and the reasonable expectations of users.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for limited and clearly defined purposes in order to ensure the secure, lawful and efficient operation of the Website. Certain cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly and to maintain system integrity. These “strictly necessary” cookies are deployed automatically. All other categories of cookies, including analytics and advertising or measurement technologies, operate only where you have provided valid consent through our CMP (where implemented) and where such consent is required or appropriate under applicable Canadian privacy laws.
Cookies and similar technologies are used on the Platform for the following purposes:
- ensuring the proper functioning, stability and security of core Website features;
- detecting, preventing and monitoring unauthorised access, misuse or potentially harmful activity;
- supporting essential operational processes such as load balancing, error diagnostics and performance monitoring;
- collecting aggregated, pseudonymised or anonymised analytics data to evaluate user engagement, page performance and technical behaviour;
- measuring advertising performance and attribution and supporting compliance with authorised partners’ technical requirements where such tools are enabled;
- enabling lawful consent capture, storage and enforcement through the CMP, including the operation of consent-mode style controls where implemented; and
- recording and applying your cookie and tracking preferences to ensure compliance with the choices you have expressed.
Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without your consent, as they are required for the functioning of the Website and the provision of a secure online environment. All non-essential cookies, including analytics, measurement and advertising technologies, will only be activated where you have provided explicit, informed consent through our cookie banner and CMP interface (where implemented), or where otherwise permitted under applicable Canadian privacy laws.
Cookies and similar tracking technologies used on this Website are organised into compliance-based categories. Each category reflects the purpose for which the technology is deployed and the basis on which it is used under applicable Canadian privacy laws. This structure is intended to provide clear transparency regarding how cookies operate on the Platform and to assist you in making informed choices through our CMP.
The categories used on the Platform are as follows:
• Strictly Necessary Cookies
Used to ensure core Website functionality, system security, abuse prevention, session integrity and the enforcement of consent preferences. These cookies do not require consent and cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Functional Cookies
Enable enhanced usability by remembering user preferences, interface settings and accessibility options, where applicable and where enabled through appropriate preferences or consent controls.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies
Collect aggregated information on usage patterns, device types and overall Platform responsiveness in order to assess performance and improve service quality. These cookies operate only with consent where required or appropriate.
• Marketing and Advertising Measurement Cookies
Used for consent-based advertising measurement, conversion attribution and compliance with authorised advertising platform requirements where such tools are enabled. The Platform is intended to operate with non-personalised advertising by default and does not use behavioural profiling or interest-based targeting unless you have provided explicit consent for that purpose through the CMP and where permitted by applicable Canadian privacy laws.
• Unclassified Cookies
Temporary cookies undergoing review for appropriate technical and legal categorisation. Such cookies are not intentionally activated for non-essential purposes until correctly classified and, where required, consented to.
All third-party cookies deployed on the Platform are subject to reasonable technical and privacy due diligence. We require partners to maintain appropriate safeguards, demonstrate compliance with applicable privacy requirements, and ensure that any cross-border processing is supported by appropriate contractual and organisational measures, as further described in our Privacy Policy.
In addition to cookies, the Website may deploy other technologies that perform similar or complementary functions to recognise browsers, analyse engagement and ensure the efficient operation of the Platform. These technologies may include web beacons, tracking pixels, tags and other script-based tools that enable measurement, diagnostics and lawful advertising attribution where enabled.
These technologies assist us in understanding how visitors interact with our content, assessing the performance of the Website, and meeting technical requirements imposed by authorised partners used on or in connection with the Services. Their operation is governed by our CMP (where implemented), and non-essential technologies will only activate where you have provided valid consent through the CMP (where required or appropriate) and where permitted by applicable Canadian privacy laws.
The principal non-cookie technologies that may be used on the Website include:
• Tracking pixels
Used to record page impressions, advertising views and interaction events for analytics and attribution purposes.
• JavaScript tags
Script-based code fragments used to measure interactions, manage consent signals and render dynamic content securely.
• Local storage objects
Browser-level storage mechanisms used to retain user preferences, consent states and technical configuration data.
• Script-based analytics libraries
Client-side tools used for runtime monitoring, diagnostics, performance analysis and event tracking.
These technologies are deployed only for specified, lawful purposes, including Platform security, fraud mitigation, service optimisation, analytics, attribution and compliance with measurement standards. Their deployment is restricted to the minimum technical footprint reasonably necessary for operational purposes.
Where such technologies involve the processing of personal information, they are subject to the same transparency, consent, lawful purpose and user rights obligations that apply to cookie-based processing under applicable Canadian privacy laws and our Privacy Policy.

The above list is provided for transparency and may change depending on our operational configuration. Not all tools will necessarily be active at all times. Where any tool is active, its operation is subject to the choices available through the CMP (where implemented) and/or your browser controls, as applicable.
You retain control over how non-essential cookies and similar tracking technologies operate on your device. Your preferences can be managed at any time through our on-site cookie preference controls and the CMP (where implemented). The CMP enables you to provide, review or withdraw consent for each category of non-essential cookies in accordance with your privacy choices.
Strictly necessary cookies, which are required to ensure the basic functioning, security and stability of the Website, cannot be disabled. These cookies operate because they are essential to deliver the service you have requested and to provide a secure online environment.
The cookie preference controls are accessible via the initial cookie banner displayed on your first visit and may also be accessed at any time through a persistent link on the Website (where implemented). If you disable certain categories of cookies, you may still browse the Website. However, some features, diagnostics or optimisation elements may not function correctly.
Through the CMP, you may:
- accept or reject individual categories of non-essential cookies;
- review information about each cookie or technology, including provider, purpose, duration and category;
- modify or withdraw your consent at any time, with effect as implemented by the CMP and the relevant technologies;
- request that non-essential cookies be removed or deactivated following withdrawal of consent, to the extent technically feasible and consistent with how the relevant technologies operate; and
- store and retain your preferences across future visits, unless you manually clear cookies or site data.
Your selections are saved locally in your browser and will remain in force unless you delete your cookies, clear your cache, use a different device or browser, or where the CMP is required to refresh consent choices after a defined period.
You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings, including blocking, restricting or deleting cookies. Browser-level controls may affect both essential and non-essential cookies and may impair Website functionality if essential cookies are blocked.
Where any cookie or tracking technology involves the processing of personal information, your rights under applicable Canadian privacy laws remain unaffected. You may submit privacy requests using the contact details set out in Section 10 of this Cookies Policy and Section 12 of our Privacy Policy.
In addition to the controls available through our CMP (where implemented), you may manage cookies directly through your browser’s privacy and security settings. Most modern browsers provide tools that allow you to:
- view, block or delete cookies (individually or in bulk);
- disable third-party cookies independently of first-party cookies;
- apply cookie rules to specific websites;
- clear local storage, cached files and site-specific data; and
- set global or per-site preferences relating to tracking technologies.

These tools are operated by third parties and function independently of the Website and any CMP controls.
The Website does not rely on Adobe Flash technology and we do not intentionally deploy Flash Cookies, also referred to as Local Shared Objects (“LSOs”). Flash technology has been deprecated and is no longer supported by major browsers or operating systems. As a result, no core functionality of the Platform requires Flash or Flash-based storage.
For completeness, users should be aware that Flash Cookies operate differently from standard browser cookies. They are stored separately from ordinary browser data and cannot be managed through conventional browser cookie settings. In the unlikely event that any legacy Flash-based content is encountered, LSOs may theoretically be used to:
- retain user preferences applied within Flash components;
- preserve state information for interactive or multimedia modules; or
- maintain consistent settings for embedded media.
Where present, such technologies would be strictly optional and would not form part of the essential operation of the Website. Modern alternatives, including HTML5 and script-based local storage mechanisms, are used to ensure accessibility, security and compatibility across current browsers.
Users may manage or delete LSOs through Adobe’s legacy Flash Player Settings Manager:
https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
Please note that disabling any remaining Flash Cookies may affect the operation of outdated or legacy media features. However, this will not impact your ability to use the core functionality of the Platform.
The Website may use third-party advertising and attribution technologies to measure campaign performance and support compliance with advertising platform policies. These technologies may include the placement of cookies, pixels or similar tools by authorised partners. Their operation is governed by applicable Canadian privacy laws and the configuration choices implemented through our CMP and/or browser controls.
The Platform does not use personalised or interest-based advertising unless you have provided explicit, informed consent through our CMP (where implemented) and where such processing is permitted under applicable Canadian privacy laws. By default, advertising and measurement conducted on or in connection with the Website is intended to be non-personalised, meaning it does not use your browsing history, online behaviour or cross-site activity to build profiles or target you individually.
Advertising and measurement technologies may be deployed for the following lawful purposes:
- measuring ad impressions, engagement and campaign effectiveness;
- measuring conversions and producing aggregated reporting for performance assessment;
- meeting advertising partner requirements, including consent signals and technical standards;
- operating consent-mode style controls and equivalent partner requirements where implemented; and
- preventing invalid traffic, fraud and misuse of advertising systems.
Where personalised advertising is offered by an advertising partner, it will operate only where you have given valid opt-in consent through the CMP and where enabled. Refusal of consent will result in the delivery of non-personalised advertising and/or measurement only, or the disabling of marketing technologies, depending on configuration.
We work with recognised advertising and analytics partners, which may include:
- Google Ads (including conversion tracking and consent-mode style controls, where implemented);
- Microsoft Advertising with Universal Event Tracking (“UET”);
- Meta Pixel for consent-based advertising measurement; and
- a CMP (for example, CookieYes, where implemented) for consent capture and enforcement.
We do not knowingly deploy personalised advertising to individuals who do not meet the applicable age-of-majority requirement. We also do not process or use sensitive personal information for advertising purposes, including information relating to health, religious beliefs, political opinions, sexual orientation, biometric identifiers or any other sensitive category.
We do not sell or lease personal information to third parties. All advertising-related data processing is intended to be pseudonymised or de-identified wherever reasonably possible, subject to user consent for non-essential cookies, and is carried out in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.
We may update or amend this Cookies Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes in our use of cookies and similar technologies, developments in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or adjustments to our operational or compliance requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this Policy indicates the date on which the most recent revisions were published.
Where any change materially affects the manner in which non-essential cookies operate or alters your choices and consent options, we will take reasonable steps to bring such changes to your attention. This may include displaying a prominent notice on the Website, updating the cookie banner or CMP interface, or using any other method required by applicable law.
You are encouraged to review this Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies and tracking technologies are used on the Website and the rights and controls available to you under applicable Canadian privacy laws.
