Information About Cookie Use

Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device when you open our platform. They allow the site to remember certain choices and support a smoother experience. We apply essential cookies needed for core operation, and optional analytics cookies only when you agree.

Cookies do not include details that directly identify you. They mainly keep technical information about a visit, for example selected language, session details, and basic usage metrics. Our approach to cookies follows Canadian privacy requirements and generally accepted practices.

Cookies may record anonymous technical details such as browser type, device characteristics, approximate location at the country level, pages opened, and time spent on the platform. This helps us improve speed, stability, and troubleshoot issues.

Cookie information is combined and anonymized for review. We do not profile individuals or follow specific browsing behavior. Storage limits are set as follows: essential cookies for the session or up to 48 hours, analytics cookies for up to 10 months, and preference cookies for up to 5 months.

You can control cookie use through your browser options or by using the cookie consent tool on our platform. Most browsers provide features to block cookies or remove stored files, although doing so may limit certain functions.

Essential cookies remain enabled because they support secure operation. Analytics and preference cookies can be adjusted through the consent banner shown on your first visit, and you can update your choices later through the footer at any time.

Cookies are sent using secure HTTPS connections. We use safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to cookie-related data and periodically review our cookie setup against privacy expectations.

Cookie data is kept separate from any personal account details and is not tied back to an individual. We do not rely on cookies for cross-site tracking or user profiling. Our cookie practices are reviewed on a regular basis, including checks approximately every three months.

Cookie retention follows set timeframes: session cookies are removed when you close the browser, preference cookies usually expire after 5 months, and analytics cookies are cleared automatically after about 10 months. You can also delete cookies manually at any time using browser settings.

After cookies expire or are deleted, the stored information is removed from our systems. New cookies may be created on later visits, and optional categories require renewed consent when applicable. Routine cookie checks help ensure outdated items are cleared appropriately.
