1. Introduction
Ajax Casino is a land-based casino and entertainment venue located at 50 Alexander’s Crossing, Ajax, Ontario, L1Z 2E6, operating under the regulatory oversight of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). The digital presence of Ajax Casino, including the website hosted by Great Canadian Entertainment, uses cookies to ensure proper functionality and to understand how visitors use the online services.
This policy applies to all users who access the Ajax Casino website or digital platforms. By continuing to use the site, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize the device and store certain information about user preferences or past actions.
Cookies may be set by the website visited (first-party cookies) or by third-party services integrated into that website (third-party cookies). Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a set period or until manually deleted.
3. How Cookies Are Used
Cookies are used for the following purposes:
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic interactive elements. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not require user consent, as they are strictly necessary for operation of the site.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies are used to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the website. This may include data on pages visited, time spent on each page, and navigation paths. Such information supports analysis and improvement of website performance and user experience. Analytics cookies do not identify users personally and are limited to summary traffic data.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember user choices (for example, language preferences or region) and to provide enhanced or customized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes made to text size, fonts, and other adjustable elements.
4. Third-Party Cookies and Services
The website may include content or services provided by third parties, such as embedded media, analytics providers, or social media plugins. These third parties may set their own cookies on user devices. Third-party cookies are not controlled by Ajax Casino. Users should review the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties to understand how information is collected and used.
Because Ajax Casino operates under the regulatory framework of OLG, certain aspects of data collection and cookie usage may also be governed by OLG’s privacy and cookie policy. Users are encouraged to review OLG’s policy for additional details on how the provincial gaming regulator manages privacy and cookies in relation to Ontario gaming operations.

To manage cookies, access the browser’s settings menu and locate the privacy or cookie management section. Depending on the browser, it may be possible to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or receive a notification each time a cookie is set. Blocking essential cookies may prevent access to certain parts of the website or limit use of specific features.
Cookies that have already been placed on a device can be deleted through the browser’s history or privacy settings.
6. Cookie Retention
Session cookies are deleted automatically when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the device until they reach their expiration date or are manually deleted. The retention period for each cookie depends on its purpose and is determined at the time the cookie is placed.
