1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browse experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies:
- Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, even after you close your web browser. They are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
- Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. They are used to allow website operators to link your actions during a browser session.
2. How We Use Cookies
We may use cookies for several reasons, including:
- To make our Website work: Some cookies are essential for core functionalities like enabling secure login, remembering items in a shopping cart, or facilitating page navigation.
- To analyze and improve our Website: We may use cookies to understand how our visitors interact with the Website, which pages are most popular, and where users might encounter issues. This helps us to improve the Website's performance and user experience.
- To personalize your experience: Cookies can remember your preferences and settings, providing a more tailored experience on subsequent visits.
- For marketing and advertising: We may use cookies to deliver relevant advertisements to you based on your browse habits and interests, both on our Website and on other sites.
While our Website is designed to function even without the use of most cookies, some specific features or user experiences may be enhanced or enabled by their presence.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
The cookies which may be used on our Website fall into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies are essential for our Website to perform its basic functions and to enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the Website.
- Your Control: These cookies are typically set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. They are always active and cannot be opted out of via our consent mechanism, as the Website would not function correctly. However, you can block them by changing your browser settings, though parts of the site may then not work.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. The information these cookies collect is typically aggregated and therefore anonymous.
- Your Control: You can choose to accept or reject these cookies via our initial cookie consent banner, or by managing your browser settings.
- Functionality Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages (e.g., live chat support, video players). They may remember choices you make (like your username, language, or region) to provide a more personalized experience.
- Your Control: If you don't allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. You can choose to accept or reject these cookies via our initial cookie consent banner, or by managing your browser settings.
- Targeting and Advertising Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
- Your Control: You can choose to accept or reject these cookies via our initial cookie consent banner, or by managing your browser settings.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties cookies to report usage statistics of the service, deliver advertisements on and through the service, and so on. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, and other service providers.
5. Regulatory Compliance Considerations
Our approach to cookie usage and the collection of information through similar technologies is guided by leading global privacy regulations, including but not limited to:
- The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the UK GDPR: These regulations require explicit consent for non-essential cookies and provide data subjects with rights regarding their personal data collected via cookies.
- The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) in the United States: These laws provide California residents with rights, including the right to know about and opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information, which can include data collected via cookies for targeted advertising.
- The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada: This federal law requires meaningful consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information, which applies to data collected through cookies.
- Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL): This comprehensive law addresses electronic threats, including spam, malware, and other online threats. It requires consent for sending commercial electronic messages (CEMs) and installing computer programs, and sets out strict requirements for the content of CEMs and the ability to unsubscribe.
- Quebec's Law 25 (An Act to modernize legislative provisions respecting the protection of personal information) in Canada: This provincial law introduces stricter consent requirements, often requiring explicit consent for cookies that identify, locate, or profile individuals, and emphasizes privacy by default.
- Other applicable national and regional data protection laws: We monitor and adapt our practices to comply with relevant legislation in other jurisdictions where we operate or serve users, always striving for a high standard of data protection and transparency regarding cookie usage.
