Cookie Policy
Last Updated: December 4, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how GreatNorthOffer ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. We are committed to transparency and ensuring you understand how your data is processed within the Canadian digital landscape.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, GreatNorthOffer) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions. They are essential for:
- Ensuring the security of the connection between your device and our servers.
- Remembering your shopping cart contents as you navigate between pages.
- Verifying your identity when you sign in to your account.
- Complying with legal requirements, such as age verification checks.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you. We use this data to improve the performance of our platform and fix technical issues.
- Counting visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.
- Understanding which pages are the most and least popular.
- Observing how visitors move around the site to optimize user flow.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing data about your current location.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
4. Third-Party Technologies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. These third parties may include:
- Analytics Providers: We use tools to analyze traffic trends. These providers may collect data such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system.
- Security Services: We may utilize third-party services to prevent fraud and ensure the integrity of our lottery-style draws.
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): We use CDNs (like for Font Awesome icons) to load content faster. These services may log access to their resources.
5. How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your browser preferences. The specific method for doing so varies depending on your browser type:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (specifically the checkout and account management processes) may be restricted.
6. Changes to This Cookie 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. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
