Introduction
This policy explains how Golden Loon uses browser storage and optional embedded content. The collection can be read without analytics or advertising technologies. A small amount of essential storage supports age confirmation and remembers your consent choices. Maps are optional and remain unloaded until you enable the functional category. Last updated: November 2026. Read the Privacy Policy for the wider explanation of information practices.
Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a small record that a website can ask your browser to store and, in many cases, send back with later requests. Local storage is a related browser facility that keeps values for scripts to read on the same origin. These technologies are not identical. Golden Loon's own preference system uses local storage rather than setting first-party tracking cookies. Third-party services may make different choices.
How Golden Loon Uses Browser Storage
Our scripts store two records: gl_age and gl_consent. The first records an affirmative age confirmation and its timestamp. The second records essential, functional, analytics and marketing preferences together with the time of your decision. They are not form-message records or reservation details. Values apply to this website origin in the browser you are using; they do not automatically synchronise across your devices or browser profiles.
| Name / Category | Purpose | Storage Type | Duration | Required or Optional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gl_age / Essential | Remembers adult confirmation and timestamp | Local storage | Until cleared; no automatic expiry | Required |
| gl_consent / Essential | Stores category choices and timestamp | Local storage | 180-day validity; record remains until cleared or replaced | Required |
| Google Maps / Functional | Displays location maps after consent | Third-party content; storage controlled by Google | Determined by Google | Optional |
| Analytics | No service installed; preference only | Choice within gl_consent | As above | Optional |
| Marketing | No service installed; preference only | Choice within gl_consent | As above | Optional |
Strictly Necessary Technologies
Essential storage keeps the age gate and preference controls working consistently as you move between pages. The age record avoids asking the same question on every page after you confirm. The consent record allows the website to respect your optional-content choices. These functions do not create an advertising profile. The essential category is always enabled within the website's controls, although you can remove site storage through your browser.
Functional Preferences
Functional consent allows Google Maps to load on the hotel pages. Without it, you see a short explanation and a preferences button in the map area. The hotel address and ordinary directions link remain available. Allowing maps creates a connection to Google and may permit Google-controlled storage. Turn the functional category off to remove loaded map frames and prevent new ones from loading on subsequent page visits.
Analytics Technologies
No analytics script is installed on this website. We do not currently use a visitor-measurement service to track page journeys, session recordings or form behaviour. The analytics switch saves a category preference but does not activate a hidden service. If the website introduces analytics in future, its description, consent handling and this policy should be updated to reflect the actual provider and the information involved.
Marketing Technologies
No advertising pixel, remarketing tag or cross-site marketing service is currently installed by Golden Loon. The marketing switch records your choice only. It does not subscribe you to a mailing list, send contact details to an advertiser or enable promotional notifications. External hotel and travel websites may have their own marketing technologies after you choose to visit them; their consent controls are separate from those on this guide.
Cookie Consent
After you confirm that you are 19 or older, the consent panel offers Accept All, Essential Only and Manage Settings. Accept All enables the optional categories, including maps. Essential Only keeps optional categories disabled. Manage Settings opens individual switches and a Save Preferences button. No optional map is requested before the corresponding choice is made. The age gate is shown before the consent panel on a first visit.
Local Storage
The records are held by your browser, not sent as form submissions to Golden Loon. Other software on your device, such as browser extensions, may have capabilities beyond this website's controls. Clearing local storage removes the saved decisions and makes the relevant questions appear again. In private browsing, storage may last only for that browsing session. If storage is blocked, decisions may not persist between pages.
Age Verification Preferences
The gl_age value contains verified: true and a timestamp after you select the adult confirmation. No birth date, passport image or other identification is requested. This is a self-declared access choice, not proof of legal age to a casino operator. Selecting the under-19 option keeps the collection behind the gate. The resort will apply its own admission and identification procedures independently of any choice recorded here.
Third-Party Maps
Google Maps is embedded only when functional content is enabled. The map frame can expose connection details to Google and may use cookies or other browser technologies governed by Google's practices. Golden Loon cannot provide an exhaustive inventory or lifetime for storage chosen dynamically by that external service. You can consult Google's privacy and cookie information, remove its records using browser controls and continue using the textual hotel addresses.
Cookie Retention
The age confirmation has no automatic expiry in our implementation and remains until the browser removes it or you clear the record. Consent is treated as valid for 180 days from its timestamp. After that, the panel asks for a new choice; the old browser record may remain until overwritten. Closing the contact confirmation clears form values, and no form information is saved in either preference key.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to inspect and remove data stored by individual websites. Look for privacy, site data or storage settings, then select this site's origin. Removing all site data also removes age and consent decisions. Separate controls may exist for third-party cookies. Instructions vary by browser and device, so consult your browser's current help pages. Blocking storage can affect whether the site remembers your choices.
How to Change Consent
Choose Cookie Settings in any page footer to open the preferences window again. Adjust the functional, analytics or marketing switches and select Save Preferences. Turning maps off removes their frames from the current page. It does not undo prior third-party processing or delete Google's own cookies. Changes apply to this browser on this origin; repeat them on another device if you want the same settings there.
Changes to This Policy
This page should describe the technologies actually used, including changes to storage keys, lifetimes or external content. Review it again if the website adds features that affect your choices. Existing category labels do not imply that unlisted analytics or marketing vendors are already present. The date above identifies the current edition, and the preferences window remains available for reviewing your consent independently of policy updates.
Contact Information
For questions about the preference controls, contact [email protected] or +1 (416) 555-0146, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Describe the page and browser involved without sending sensitive information. For cookies set on a resort's own website, contact that operator. For information about a Google map after it has loaded, consult Google's privacy resources. Golden Loon's controls govern this guide's decision to request the embedded content.
