Laura & Co Events (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates https://www.lauraandcoevents.ca/ (the “Site”).
We publish editorial content focused on helping readers compare and safely use online casinos available to Canadian players, including guidance on licensing, payments, bonuses, withdrawals, and responsible gambling. We do not operate casinos, process deposits, accept bets, or provide gambling services.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you may have.
What we collect
Information you provide to us
If you email us, we receive the information you include in your message (such as your email address and the contents of your request).
We do not require accounts to browse the Site.
Browsing and device information
When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited information such as:
- IP address (often used to estimate approximate location)
- pages viewed and time spent
- referring/exit pages
- device type, browser, operating system
- general performance and error data
- cookie identifiers and similar online IDs
Cookies, ads, and affiliate tracking information
The Site may use cookies, pixels, and tracking parameters to:
- measure traffic and content performance (analytics)
- show or measure advertising (if enabled)
- attribute affiliate commissions when you click an outbound link (for example via UTMs, click IDs, or link-out events)
Sensitive information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as government ID numbers, precise geolocation, or health data) through standard browsing.
How we use information
We use information to:
- operate and maintain the Site
- prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents
- understand how the Site is used and improve content quality
- measure traffic, engagement, and site performance
- support advertising measurement and frequency capping (where applicable)
- attribute affiliate referrals when you click and/or sign up with third-party partners
- respond to messages you send us
Cookies & tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Pixels and similar technologies help measure usage and performance.
Your choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies
- Use private browsing modes (limitations apply)
- Use device-level ad settings where available
“Do Not Sell or Share” and opt-out signals
We do not sell personal information for money. However, some privacy laws treat certain disclosures for advertising measurement or cross-context behavioral advertising as “sharing.”
To opt out of this type of “sale/share” (where applicable), contact us at [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Opt-Out”. We will also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where feasible.
Advertising, analytics & affiliates
We may work with:
- analytics providers (to understand site usage and performance)
- advertising partners (to measure and deliver ads, if enabled)
- affiliate partners and networks (to track when you click out and complete an action)
When you click an outbound link to a casino or related service, that link may include tracking information that helps attribute a commission to us. This does not increase your cost.
Sharing of information
We may share information:
- with service providers that help run the Site (hosting, security, analytics, anti-abuse)
- with advertising/affiliate partners for measurement, attribution, and reporting
- if required to comply with law, enforce our policies, or protect rights and safety
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share limited data for advertising or affiliate measurement as described above.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as access, deletion, correction, and opting out of certain types of data sharing.
US state privacy rights
If you are a resident of California (CPRA) or other US states with privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah), you may have the right to:
- request access to the personal information we have about you
- request deletion
- request correction (where applicable)
- opt out of targeted advertising and/or “sale/share” (as defined by law)
- not be discriminated against for exercising your rights
We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive categories through standard browsing.
How to exercise rights: email [email protected] with the subject “Privacy Request” and tell us what you want to do (access/delete/correct/opt out).
Verification: we may ask you to confirm access to the email you’re using and provide details needed to locate the information.
Appeals: if we deny a request, you can appeal by emailing us with “Appeal” in the subject line.
Canada and other regions
If you are in Canada or elsewhere, you can still contact us at [email protected] to request access or deletion of information associated with your email communications, where applicable.
Data retention & security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Typical retention periods may include:
- analytics data: up to ~24 months
- server/security logs: up to ~12 months
- email correspondence: as long as needed to resolve your request, then archived or deleted periodically
We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, and routine software updates. No system is perfectly secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to minors. Given the gambling context, our content is meant for people who are of legal gambling age in their province/territory (often 19+, and 18+ in some provinces). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
Third-party links & disclaimers
Our Site links to third-party websites (including casino operators). We do not control their privacy practices. Please review their policies before providing information or depositing funds.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post updates on this page and revise the “Last updated” date.
