Cookie policy

This policy explains the cookies used on allweatherslottery.com. A cookie is a small file that a website stores on your device.

We only set cookies that measure how people use the website, or our advertising, if you choose “Accept” in the cookie banner. If you choose “Reject”, or make no choice, we set only the two cookies that remember your choice.

You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of any page.

Cookies that remember your choice

cookie_consent: remembers whether you accepted or rejected cookies, so we do not ask on every page. Lasts up to 12 months.
ad_consent: holds the same choice in a form that our player site, play.allweatherslottery.com, can read, so that it knows whether you agreed to our advertising being measured. Lasts up to 12 months.

Some browsers, such as Safari, keep these two cookies for 7 days. The banner then asks you again.

Cookies we set only if you accept

_ga (Google Analytics): tells visits apart, so we can count how many people use the website. Lasts 2 years.
_ga_ followed by letters and numbers (Google Analytics): keeps track of a visit, so we can see which pages are used. Lasts 2 years.
_gcl_au (Google Ads): measures how well our advertising works. Lasts 3 months.
_gcl_aw (Google Ads): set when you arrive from one of our adverts on Google, and records which advert. Lasts 3 months.
_fbp (Meta, for Facebook and Instagram): measures how well our advertising works. Lasts 3 months.
_fbc (Meta): set when you arrive from one of our adverts on Facebook or Instagram, and records which advert. Lasts 3 months.

If you change your choice from Accept to Reject, we delete these cookies and the awl_counted note from your device.

If you join the lottery

Joining the lottery, signing in and My account happen on our player site, play.allweatherslottery.com. It reads the ad_consent cookie described above. This policy covers allweatherslottery.com only.

If you chose “Accept” and you go on to join, we let Meta and Google know that a registration has taken place, so that they can match it to our advertising. Our privacy policy says what we send. After you join, you return to a thank-you page on this website, which counts your registration once. So that it is not counted twice, the page keeps a note in your browser's storage, named awl_counted, holding only the registration's one-time reference.

If you chose “Reject”, or made no choice, nothing is sent and nothing is counted.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block the cookie_consent cookie, the banner will ask for your choice on every visit.
