1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are commonly used to help websites function properly, improve security, remember preferences and provide aggregated reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by other providers are called “third-party cookies.” These may support analytics, security monitoring or embedded website functionality.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical and security reasons in order for our website and charitable raffle participation services to operate correctly. Other cookies help us understand how the website is used so we can improve usability, security and overall user experience.

In particular, cookies help us:

• Verify that visitors meet the minimum age requirement (19+) and are eligible to use the service.
• Maintain secure sessions when you sign in to your account and manage raffle participation details.
• Remember your cookie preferences and responsible participation settings.
• Measure aggregated website usage to improve layout, navigation and functionality.

These cookies are necessary to provide access to secure website functions, including age-verification checks, secure login, session management and account functionality.

Because these cookies are required for core website operation, they cannot be disabled without affecting website functionality.
