Cookie Policy Overview

Cookies are small data files placed on your device when accessing our platform. Their purpose is to support basic functionality, remember selected options, and help us understand how the platform is used. We apply only required cookies for core operations and optional analytics cookies with user permission.

These files do not store information that directly identifies you. They contain technical details such as session identifiers, language choices, and generalized usage data. All cookie practices align with Canadian privacy regulations and accepted standards.

Cookie-based data includes non-identifying technical details such as browser type, device category, country-level location, visited sections, and duration of visits. This information assists in improving performance and detecting technical issues.

All collected data is grouped and anonymized. Individual behavior is not monitored or analyzed personally. Storage durations are limited: essential cookies last for the session or up to 24 hours, analytics cookies up to 11 months, and preference cookies up to 5 months.

You may adjust cookie preferences through your web browser or by using the consent controls available on our platform. Disabling certain cookies could limit some features.

Mandatory cookies remain enabled to ensure secure operation. Optional categories, including analytics and preference cookies, can be modified via the consent notice shown on first access or later through the footer controls.

All cookie transmissions use encrypted connections. Protective measures are in place to restrict unauthorized access, and cookie usage is periodically reviewed for compliance with privacy requirements.

Cookie data is kept separate from any personal records and cannot be associated with specific individuals. We do not track activity across external sites or create behavioral profiles. Reviews of cookie practices occur several times per year.

Retention periods are limited: session cookies are removed when the browser is closed, preference cookies expire after approximately five months, and analytics cookies are deleted after about eleven months. Users may also remove cookies manually at any time.

Once cookies expire or are cleared, the stored information is permanently erased. New cookies may be created on future visits, with consent requested again for optional categories. Routine checks ensure outdated cookies are cleared properly.
