Why this page exists
Small text files help our site remember you. We call them cookies, and we want you to know exactly what they do before you accept them.
This policy explains how Sportuna, operated by NovaForge Ltd and licensed by the Anjouan Gaming Board, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our casino and sportsbook. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes the wider handling of your personal data. Reading both takes only a few minutes.
Our service is open to players aged 19 and over in Canada. Have a question the sections below don't answer? Reach our team through the contact page.
Consent and how to withdraw it
When you first arrive, a banner asks what you're willing to accept. Strictly-necessary cookies load straight away; functional, analytics and marketing cookies wait for your choice.
Changed your mind? You can withdraw or adjust consent whenever you like through the cookie settings link in our site footer. Clearing a category stops those cookies from being set going forward and signals us to remove existing ones where technically possible. Withdrawing consent won't lock you out, though a few conveniences may reset.
The categories we use
We group our cookies into four families. Strictly-necessary cookies always run, because the site cannot function without them. The other three only activate when you consent. Here is the detail, with purpose and typical lifespan.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep you logged in, secure your session, remember deposit and bet steps, support fraud prevention | Session to 12 months |
| Functional | Remember preferences such as currency (CAD), language and layout choices | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Measure page visits and traffic sources so we can improve navigation and fix faults | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Deliver and measure relevant promotions on and off our site, limit repeat ads | Up to 13 months |
Durations are maximums. Many cookies expire sooner, and we review them regularly.
What a cookie actually is
A cookie is a tiny piece of data placed on your device by your browser. It might record that you've logged in, chosen a language, or seen a particular message.
Some cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. These are session cookies. Others, called persistent cookies, stay on your device for a set period so we recognise you on your next visit. We also use similar tools such as pixels and local storage, and we treat them under this same policy.
Managing cookies in your browser
Your browser gives you a second layer of control. Every major browser lets you block cookies, delete them, or warn you before one is stored.
Look under the Privacy or Security menu in Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. There you can clear existing files and decide how new ones are handled. Bear in mind that blocking strictly-necessary cookies may stop logins, deposits of 10 CAD or more, and bet placement from working as intended. If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, support is available through our responsible gambling tools, ConnexOntario on 1-866-531-2600, or responsiblegambling.org.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to accept every cookie?
- No. Only strictly-necessary cookies are required for the site to run. You can decline functional, analytics and marketing cookies and still play.
Will refusing cookies affect my account?
- Your account stays intact. Some preferences may need setting again, and certain analytics-based features simply won't track you — that's the whole point of refusing them.
How do I change my choice later?
- Open the cookie settings link in our footer at any time. Adjust each category on or off, and your updated preference applies immediately.
How long do Sportuna's cookies last?
- It depends on the type. Session cookies end when you close the browser; persistent ones last from a few months up to the maximums shown in the table above.
Does this policy cover third-party providers?
- Our analytics and marketing partners may set their own cookies under this consent framework. Their handling of data is also described in our Privacy Policy.
