1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is accessed. They allow the site to recognize the device on subsequent visits, store certain preferences, and collect information about use of the site. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files stored on a device.
Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects, may also be used for comparable purposes. References to cookies in this policy include such related technologies, unless stated otherwise.
2. Categories of Cookies Used
The platform uses the following categories of cookies:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core functions such as page navigation, session management, and access to secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, services requested by the user cannot be provided. In accordance with applicable law, these cookies do not require user consent, but their use is disclosed in this policy for transparency.
2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance and analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, including pages visited, time spent on pages, and any error messages encountered. The information is aggregated and does not identify individual users. Such data is used to improve the structure and performance of the site.
Some of these cookies may be set by third-party analytics providers. The company does not control the data-processing practices of these providers. Users should review the privacy documentation of such third parties for additional information.
2.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable the site to remember user choices, such as language preference or display settings. These cookies support user convenience by reducing the need to re-enter information on each visit. Functional cookies do not track activity on other websites.
2.4 Marketing and Tracking Cookies
Marketing and tracking cookies record visits to the site, pages viewed, and links followed. This information may be used to make the content displayed more relevant to user interests. Marketing cookies may also be used to assess the performance of referral links and affiliate partnerships.
Marketing cookies are placed only where the user has provided consent through the cookie consent interface. Consent can be withdrawn at any time using the preference controls described in Section 5.
2.5 Security Cookies
Security cookies support the integrity of the site and assist in the detection and prevention of fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, and other security risks. These cookies form part of the technical safeguards and are not used for marketing or profiling.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the site are set by third parties, including analytics providers, advertising networks, and affiliate tracking services. The company does not control how these third parties collect or use data obtained through their cookies. Users are encouraged to review the cookie and privacy policies of the relevant third-party services.
Information collected through third-party cookies may be combined with other data held by those third parties. The company does not have access to, or control over, such combined data.
4. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies are generally categorized by their duration as follows:
- Session cookies: deleted automatically when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: remain on the device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
The retention period for each persistent cookie depends on its purpose. Analytics and functional cookies are typically retained for no longer than thirteen months. Marketing cookies may have shorter or longer retention periods, depending on the third-party provider. Users may delete cookies at any time through their browser settings, regardless of the stated retention period.
5. Managing Cookie Preferences
5.1 Consent Interface
When the site is first accessed, a cookie consent banner is displayed. This banner allows the user to accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customize preferences by category. The selection is recorded and applied to current and future visits from the same device and browser.
Preferences can be changed at any time by using the cookie settings link available on the site. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
5.2 Browser Controls
All major browsers provide options to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. The specific steps depend on the browser in use. Blocking all cookies will also block strictly necessary cookies, which may result in parts of the site being unavailable or functioning incorrectly.
5.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools
For cookies set by third-party advertising or analytics providers, it may be possible to opt out directly via those providers’ opt-out mechanisms. Industry tools, such as those provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, may also be available depending on user location and the providers involved.
6. Canadian Privacy Law
The collection and use of personal information through cookies is subject to applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act at the federal level and relevant provincial privacy statutes. In Quebec, additional requirements apply under the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector in relation to tracking, localization, and profiling technologies. Where these requirements apply, opt-in consent is obtained before placing non-essential cookies.
Cookies are not used to collect sensitive personal information such as financial account details, government identification numbers, or passwords.
7. Updates to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or data practices. The current version is always available on the website. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised terms, subject to any applicable consent requirements under Canadian law.
