Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Talking Stick Resort Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”). It covers what cookies are, why we use them, which types may be placed on your device, and how you can control your preferences.

By using the Site, you agree that we can place cookies on your device as described in this Cookie Policy, unless you disable them using the tools described below. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing certain cookies.

What Cookies Are (In Plain English)

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit. Cookies help the Site “remember” information about your visit, like your settings, your device, and how you move through pages.

Some cookies last only while your browser is open (session cookies). Others stay for longer (persistent cookies) so the Site can recognize your device on a future visit.

Why We Use Cookies: Security, Speed, and a Smoother Experience

Cookies help us deliver a safer, faster, and more reliable experience. They may be used to:

• Keep the Site working properly and load pages efficiently
• Protect the Site, detect fraud, and reduce security risks
• Remember your preferences, like language or cookie choices
• Understand which pages players find most useful, so we can improve navigation and performance
• Measure the effectiveness of campaigns and promotions (where permitted)

Cookies do not inherently contain personal information, but some cookies may be linked to other data we hold, depending on how you use the Site and what you choose to share.

The Types of Cookies We Use (And What They Do)

We use different categories of cookies. Some are necessary for the Site to function, and others help us improve features, performance, and marketing.

Essential Cookies (Always On for Core Functions)

Essential cookies are required for the Site to operate. Without them, key features may not work correctly. These cookies may be used for things like:

• Site security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing and basic page functionality
• Remembering privacy choices where applicable

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, you typically cannot opt out of them through our cookie banner, but you can still block them in your browser settings. If you do, the Site may not function as intended.

Functional Cookies (Your Settings, Your Comfort)

Functional cookies help the Site remember the choices you make. They can improve usability by saving preferences such as:

• Language or region settings
• Display preferences
• Remembering certain selections so you do not have to re-enter them each visit

If you disable these cookies, some convenience features may stop working or reset more often.

Performance and Analytics Cookies (How We Improve the Site)

Performance cookies help us understand how players use the Site, like which pages get visited most, what features are popular, and where users run into errors. This data helps us fine-tune performance and design.

These cookies may collect information like your browser type, device information, approximate location (based on general network data), and on-site actions such as page views and clicks. We use aggregated reporting where possible, which means we look at trends rather than trying to identify you personally.

Marketing Cookies (Ads, Promotions, and Measurement)

Marketing cookies help show content that is more relevant to you and help us measure how well promotions perform. They can be used to:

• Limit how often you see the same ad
• Measure campaign performance and conversions
• Personalize promotional content based on browsing behavior

Marketing cookies may be set by us or by third parties. If you opt out, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant.

Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies on the Site may be placed by third-party partners that help us run the Site, analyze traffic, or support marketing. Third parties may collect information directly from your device through their cookies and may process it under their own privacy policies.

Third-party cookies may include (depending on configuration and availability):

• Analytics providers that help measure Site traffic and usage
• Advertising and measurement partners that help manage promotions and track performance
• Security providers that help protect against fraud and abuse

We do not control how third parties use their cookies, and their practices can change over time. If you want the most accurate details, check the third party’s privacy and cookie notices.

Your Choices: How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You have control over cookies. The easiest way to manage cookies is through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

• Block all cookies
• Block only third-party cookies
• Delete cookies when you close your browser
• Delete existing cookies at any time

If you delete cookies, preferences you have set may be cleared, including cookie choices, and you may need to reselect settings the next time you visit.

Browser Help (Where to Change Settings)

Look for cookie controls in your browser’s “Settings,” “Privacy,” or “Security” sections. Because browsers change often, the fastest option is to search your browser help center for “manage cookies” or “delete cookies.”

If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to update settings on each one.

What Happens If You Turn Cookies Off?

Disabling cookies can affect how the Site works. Depending on what you block, you may notice:

• Slower performance or pages not loading correctly
• Features not saving your preferences
• Difficulty using certain tools that rely on security or session data
• Less relevant promotions or repeated messages

We aim to keep the core experience working, but some parts of the Site may not behave as expected when cookies are restricted.

Consent: When We Ask, and How You Update Choices

Where required, we request your consent before placing non-essential cookies (like certain analytics or marketing cookies). If the Site offers a cookie banner or preference tool, you can use it to accept, reject, or customize cookie categories.

If you want to change your mind later, you can do so by adjusting your browser settings, clearing cookies, or using any on-site cookie preference tools if available.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how to interpret these signals, the Site may not respond to all Do Not Track requests in a uniform way. We still provide cookie controls through your browser and, where available, on-site preference tools.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookie duration depends on the type:

• Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

We keep cookies only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the Site operates. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page at /cookie-policy and update the effective date below.

Effective date: June 17, 2026.
