1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owners about how visitors interact with their site.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies may be stored on your device for varying lengths of time depending on their type:
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are typically used to support basic website functionality during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you manually delete them). They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as "pixels" or "clear GIFs"), local storage objects, and device fingerprinting. Throughout this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
2. Who We Are
The Site is operated by Quietcadarcreative Inc., a company registered and operating under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. Our registered legal address is 238 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 6N4, Canada.
As the operator of the Quietcadarcreative hotel-casino in Kelowna, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use cookies for a variety of purposes. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our Site. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as booking a hotel room, accessing secure areas, or managing your session — cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they are placed on your device without requiring your prior consent; however, you may disable them through your browser settings (please note that doing so may cause parts of the Site to stop working correctly).
- Session management: Used to maintain your session state as you navigate through the Site (e.g., keeping you logged in to your account).
- Security and fraud prevention: Used to help protect the Site and its users from fraudulent activity and unauthorized access.
- Load balancing: Used to distribute web traffic across our servers to ensure consistent performance and availability.
- Cookie consent management: Used to record and remember your cookie preferences so that you are not repeatedly asked to consent.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users receive error messages. The information gathered is aggregated and therefore anonymous; it is used to improve the performance and usability of our Site. These cookies are set only with your prior consent.
- Traffic analysis: Used to understand the volume and patterns of visitor traffic across different sections of the Site.

Functional cookies allow our Site to remember choices you have made (such as your language preference, region, or accessibility settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose services we use on our pages. These cookies are set only with your prior consent.

3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies are set by us and by our trusted advertising partners. They are placed only with your explicit prior consent.
- Targeted advertising: Used to build a profile of your interests and display relevant ads on our Site and on third-party platforms.
- Retargeting / remarketing: Used to show you advertisements for Quietcadarcreative on other websites after you have visited our Site.
