Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies North Star Casino Guide sets, what they do, and how to get rid of them. It is deliberately specific rather than the usual boilerplate.

It sits alongside our Minnesota online casino rankings, the comparison this site is built around.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser so it can recognise the browser on a later request. Cookies cannot run programs, read other files, or carry viruses. They can be used to remember a preference, to count a visit, or to record that a click came from a particular site.

Strictly necessary

A small number of cookies are required for the site to work at all — serving the correct page, remembering your cookie choices, and basic protection against abuse. These cannot meaningfully be switched off without breaking the site, and they carry no advertising function.

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting analytics to see which pages are read and which are ignored, so we know what to improve. This is aggregate: visit counts, referrers, rough geography. We do not use it to build a profile of you, and we do not attempt to identify individual readers.

Affiliate attribution

When you click through to an operator, that operator commonly sets a cookie so it can credit the referral to us. That cookie belongs to the operator, is governed by the operator's own cookie and privacy policy, and is not readable by this site. This is the mechanism by which the site is funded, and it is disclosed on every page carrying such a link.

Advertising

We do not run third-party display advertising and we do not sell audience data to advertising networks. There are no retargeting pixels on this site.

Managing cookies

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either wholesale or per site, usually under privacy or site-data settings. Blocking analytics cookies will not degrade your experience here. Blocking operator cookies may mean a referral is not attributed, which affects us and not you. See also our privacy policy.
