Storage details

How cookies and storage are used

Last updated

This Cookie Policy was last updated in June 2026. It explains how SweepstakeDraw uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website.

What this policy covers

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage. SweepstakeDraw mainly uses browser storage so the app can remember your draw state, lookup session and cookie choice.

Essential storage

Essential storage is needed for core site functions. This includes remembering your cookie choice, keeping a short-lived Find my draw verification session in this tab, helping Pro organisers return to an unfinished draw from the same browser, and running Google reCAPTCHA on the Find my draw email-code request to reduce spam and abuse.

Optional cookies

If you choose Accept, SweepstakeDraw loads Google Tag Manager using container GTM-MVKMJRCN. GTM may load analytics or measurement tags that set optional cookies such as _ga, _gid, _gat or _gcl cookies, depending on the tags configured in the container. GTM is not loaded before you accept optional tracking.

Accepting cookies

If you choose Accept, the site records that choice in local storage, updates Google Consent Mode to grant optional analytics and advertising storage, and loads Google Tag Manager.

Rejecting and deleting optional cookies

If you choose Reject / delete optional, SweepstakeDraw records that choice, keeps Google Tag Manager disabled, removes optional local preferences, and attempts to delete known analytics or marketing cookies if any are present. Essential storage needed to run the app may still be used.

Third-party services

Payments are handled by Stripe and emails may be sent through transactional email providers. Google reCAPTCHA may be used for security on the Find my draw form, and optional analytics and measurement may be handled through Google Tag Manager after acceptance. These services may use their own cookies or security technologies when you interact with them, and their own policies apply.

Changing your choice

You can reopen Cookie settings from the footer at any time. You can also clear cookies, local storage and session storage from your browser settings.
