Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Wind River Casino (also referred to as "Wind River Hotel & Casino," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website and related pages, including our review page and this Cookie Policy page. It also explains your choices and how cookie settings may affect your experience.

Cookies are used to keep the site working reliably, help protect it from abuse, measure performance, and personalize certain features. Some cookies are set by us, and others may be set by third-party providers we use to operate, secure, and improve the website.

Cookies, Explained in Plain English

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit - for example, keeping you signed in, saving preferences, or understanding which pages are performing well.

Similar technologies (such as pixels, SDKs, or local storage) can perform comparable functions. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies" unless noted otherwise.

Why We Use Cookies (Function, Security, and Better Experiences)

We use cookies for several important reasons:

Website functionality - to enable core features, page navigation, and session management.

Security - to help detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and protect user accounts and our systems.

Performance and reliability - to balance traffic, reduce load times, and keep pages running smoothly.

Analytics - to understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve layout, content, and usability.

Personalization and marketing (where applicable) - to tailor content, limit repeated ads, and measure campaign effectiveness.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function. Others are optional and may be used only when permitted under applicable law.

The Main Types of Cookies We May Use

Cookies can be either first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by another company). They can also be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (kept for a defined period unless you delete them).

Here are the categories we may use:

Essential cookies - required for the website to work. These support core operations like security protections, load balancing, and basic navigation. If you block these, parts of the site may not function correctly.

Functional cookies - help remember your choices (such as language preferences or region settings) and improve convenience. Disabling these may reduce personalization, but the site can usually still operate.

Performance cookies - collect aggregated information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages load slowly or which content is most viewed. This helps us improve speed, stability, and overall usability.

Marketing cookies - may be used to deliver more relevant advertising, prevent you from seeing the same promotion repeatedly, and measure the success of campaigns. These cookies can be set by us or by third-party advertising partners, depending on how the site is configured.

Third-Party Cookies and Services We May Rely On

Some services that support our website may place cookies on your device when you visit. These third parties may process information about your device and browsing activity to provide their services, such as:

Analytics providers that help us understand traffic patterns and site engagement.

Security and fraud-prevention tools that help detect automated abuse and suspicious behavior.

Advertising and measurement partners (if enabled) that help manage and report on marketing performance.

These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing those policies for details on how they use cookies and how to opt out where available.

Your Choices: Consent and Cookie Controls

Depending on where you live, we may ask for your consent before placing certain non-essential cookies (such as performance, functional, or marketing cookies). If a cookie requires consent, it will not be used until you choose to allow it.

If we provide a cookie banner or preference center on the site, you can use it to adjust your selections at any time. Your choices are typically stored so the site can remember your preference for future visits, which may require a cookie of its own.

How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies in Your Browser

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

See which cookies are stored and delete them.

Block all cookies or block only third-party cookies.

Set rules for specific websites.

Clear cookies automatically when you close the browser.

Here are common paths (these may vary by browser version):

Chrome: Settings - Privacy and security - Third-party cookies / Clear browsing data

Safari (macOS/iOS): Settings - Privacy - Manage Website Data / Prevent Cross-Site Tracking

Firefox: Settings - Privacy & Security - Cookies and Site Data

Edge: Settings - Cookies and site permissions - Manage and delete cookies

If you delete cookies, you may need to reset preferences, and some features may not work as expected.

What Happens If You Block Cookies

Blocking cookies can change how the website behaves. For example:

Essential cookies blocked - login features, security checks, or core navigation may fail.

Functional cookies blocked - preferences may not be saved, and some tools may feel less tailored to you.

Performance cookies blocked - we will have less insight into what needs improving, which can slow down site optimization.

Marketing cookies blocked - you may still see promotions, but they may be less relevant and harder for us to measure accurately.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is no universal standard for how websites must respond to these signals, we may not respond to them consistently across all browsers and jurisdictions. Where required by law, we will honor applicable opt-out requirements through available tools and settings.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or how our website operates. When we make updates, we will revise the effective information on this page. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice as required.
