This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, and what options you have for managing them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional detail about how we handle visitor data.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply usage information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that operate on the site (third-party cookies).
Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic site security. The website cannot operate correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled. Strictly necessary cookies do not collect personal data used for marketing purposes.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, which links are clicked, and how visitors arrive at our site. All data is collected in aggregate and anonymous form.
We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga, _ga_ (followed by a container ID), and _gid. These cookies help us distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. Google Analytics data is processed under the terms of the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies remember choices you make on the website, such as display preferences, cookie consent status, and any interactive tool settings (for example, state selection in our State Checker Tool or input values in the SC Accumulation Calculator). These cookies improve your experience by preserving your preferences between visits. They do not track your activity on other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
When you click a link to an external website from our pages, the destination site may set its own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by third-party websites, including sweepstakes casino platforms, analytics providers, or content delivery networks. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party site you visit.
Our website may embed content from third-party services such as font providers or content delivery networks. These services may set cookies to deliver their resources. Google Fonts, for example, may collect anonymized usage data as described in the Google Privacy Policy.
How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies on this website.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, delete cookies when you close your browser, or review and delete individual cookies. Browser settings are usually found under the “Privacy,” “Security,” or “Cookies” section of your browser’s preferences or settings menu.
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available at the following official support pages:
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to operate, and disabling them may prevent certain features from working correctly.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal to websites. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our site does not currently alter its data collection or tracking behavior in response to DNT signals. If a consistent industry standard for DNT compliance is adopted in the future, we will update our practices accordingly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the third-party services we rely on, or applicable regulations. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
