What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit certain websites. These text files can be read by these websites and help to identify your computer when you return to a website. Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer when you have gone offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Categories of Cookies
Cookies do many different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies can tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Site before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
There are different categories of cookies, including:
- First-party Cookies – First party cookies are served directly by us to your computer or device.
- Third-party Cookies – Third-party cookies are served by a third party on our behalf. We use third party cookies for functionality, performance/analytics, advertising, and social media purposes.
Other Tracking Technologies
We also use technologies which are similar to cookies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and mobile device IDs.
- Pixels – Small portions of code which we use on our Sites. We use pixels to learn whether you have clicked on certain web content. This helps us measure and improve our Services and personalize your experience.
- Web beacons – Invisible picture files that are placed on our Sites. We use web beacons to see how you interact with our Sites and understand how often you view certain content so that we can make our website more efficient and easier to use. Web beacons collect limited information, including a cookie number, a record of the page on which they are placed and a timestamp. Websites may also carry web beacons placed by third party advertisers.
- Mobile device IDs – A unique identifier which can be used to identify a mobile device. Our advertising partners use these to show you ads that are useful to you and also to make sure they don’t show the same ad to you twice.
- Local storage – We also use local storage to store data on your device such as the last time you visited a webpage, to remember which items you put in our shopping cart or can welcome you to our Sites.
What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?
The types of cookies and similar technologies used by us and our partners in connection with the Sites can be classified into one of five categories. These categories include “essential Wynn cookies,” “functionality cookies,” “analytics and performance cookies,” “advertising and targeting cookies,” and “social media cookies.” Below is some further information about each category, and the purposes of the cookies we and third parties use:
- Essential Wynn Cookies – These cookies are essential to provide you with the Sites and any Services available through this Sites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies services you have asked for, like transactional pages and secure login accounts would not be possible. You can block these cookies by changing your browser setting but as they are essential for the operation of the Sites, this may impact the provision of our Service.
- Functionality Cookies – Functionality cookies record information about choices you’ve made and allow us to tailor the Sites to you. These cookies mean that when you continue to use or come back to the Sites, we can provide you with our Services as you have asked for them to be provided. These cookies allow us to save your location preference if you have set your location on your homepage, if applicable, in order to receive a local weather forecast; remember settings you have applied, such as layout, text size, preferences, and colors; show you when you are logged in; and store accessibility options. Please see the instructions set out in ‘How to control or delete cookies’ below to learn how to block these cookies.

We allow third party companies, including advertising companies, to place cookies on our Sites.

These cookies collect personal data such as your IP address, the name of your browser, information about the computer system they are running on and information on the sites you visit, apps that are used and the searches you make. We share cookies and similar technologies with third parties to allow us and third parties to know whether you have seen an ad or a type of ad, and how long it has been since you’ve last seen it. This information is used for frequency capping purposes, to help tailor the ads you see, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. Please see the instructions set out in ‘How to control or delete cookies’ below to learn how to block these cookies.
- Social Media Cookies – On some pages of our Sites, third parties that provide applications through our Sites will set their own cookies in order to track the success of their applications or customize applications for you. Because of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies, nor can the third parties access the data in cookies used by us. These cookies are used when you share an article using a social media sharing button on our Sites (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, or Google Plus) as the social network that has created the button will record that you have done this.
