How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. We may use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies, if you prefer. Certain cookies such as super cookies and flash cookies are not always
covered by these settings. However, this may prevent you accessing our secure services.
*When you visit a page that uses Google AdWords, either on one of Google’s sites or one of our partners’ sites, various cookies may be sent to your browser.
These may be sent from a few different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com, or googleadservices.com. To learn about Google Ads, including how you can opt out of interest-based advertising from Google and other participating companies, visit the About Google Ads page. Ads Settings helps you control the ads by Google that you see across the web. Even if you opt out of interest-based ads, you may still see ads based on factors such as your general location derived from your IP address, your browser type, your computer or device and recent, previous searches related to your current search. Incognito mode in Chrome allows you to browse the web without recording webpages and files in your browser history. Cookies are deleted after you've closed all of your incognito windows and tabs, and your bookmarks and settings are stored until you delete them.
**Google Analytics
Our website may use analytics tools i.e. Google Analytics and thus, when you visit our site your web browser automatically sends certain information to Google. This includes, for example, the web address of the page that you're visiting and your IP address. Google may also set cookies on your browser or read cookies that are already there. Similarly, our apps that partner with Google can send information such as the name of the app and an identifier that helps Google to determine which ads it served to other apps on your device. We will not (and will not allow any third party to) use Google Analytics to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, email address or billing information), or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google. Information collected for analytics purposes goes outside of Canada to Google servers and may be processed in any country where Google operates servers and thus, data may be subject to the governing legislation of that country. For example, the USA Patriot Act. For further information about Google Analytics, please refer to the Google Analytics Terms of Service. If you don’t want Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Disabling Google Analytics will still permit you to accessinformation or services from our websites.
***Marketing Analytics
Our website may use marketing automation combined with marketing analytics and thus, when you visit our site, register for a newsletter, contact us or make a purchase, non-personally identifiable information collected is sent to us and the applicable
marketing Service Provider (“MSP”). The MSP generally receives information from our websites regarding the purchasing activities of our customers and uses the information received from us to search and collect certain information from publicly available websites that contain other information about our customers, receives similar information from third party websites that also subscribe to the MSP’s service regarding their customers and under certain circumstances, provides information to us and other third-party websites. In other words, the bots analyze your demographic, social and purchase data in real-time and may be able to identify you. The MSP may use and distribute information that does not contain personally identifiable information. We will not resell or redistribute your information to any third party whatsoever.
