Cookie Policy
Transparency about how we use your data and manage your digital experience.
1. Introduction
At PrairieLuck Saskatchewan Lottery, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any PrairieLuck product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and mobile ad IDs (collectively referred to in this policy as “cookies”) to collect and use data as part of our services, as defined in our Privacy Policy.
By continuing to visit or use our website, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy. If you prefer not to allow cookies, please see the "Managing Your Cookie Preferences" section below.
2. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file placed on your device that enables PrairieLuck features and functionality. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to PrairieLuck and our other sites generally, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device.
Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period until you delete them manually or they expire.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
Key Categories of Cookies
We categorize our cookies into four main groups: Strictly Necessary, Performance/Analytics, Functionality, and Targeting/Marketing.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, services like age verification, shopping baskets, and e-billing cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
- Authentication: If you're signed in to PrairieLuck, cookies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience.
- Security: We use cookies to enable and support our security features, and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement.
- Age Verification: We use local storage to remember if you have confirmed you are 19+ years of age to prevent the age gate from appearing repeatedly.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use our website, for instance, which pages you go to most often, and if you get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
We use Google Analytics and internal logging systems to understand visitor behavior. This helps us ensure our lottery games are accessible and the user interface is intuitive for Saskatchewan residents.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the 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 in a cookie the region in which you are currently located.
The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
4. Specific Cookies We Use
The table below lists some of the specific cookies we use on PrairieLuckSask.com. Please note that the names of cookies, pixels, and other technologies may change over time.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit wikipedia.org, www.allaboutcookies.org, or www.aboutcookies.org.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use Local Storage (also known as HTML5 Local Storage). This allows our website to store data locally on your browser. We use this primarily for two functions: ensuring the Age Verification overlay does not reappear once you have confirmed your eligibility, and storing your cookie consent preferences. Unlike cookies, data in local storage is not sent to the server with every HTTP request, which reduces traffic and improves performance.
7. Changes to This 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 bottom of this policy indicates when it was last updated.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please email us at [email protected] or by post at our Regina office.
