Cookies Policy

We use cookies in accordance with PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy principles. Non-essential cookies are only set after you have given explicit consent via our cookie banner. Essential cookies required for the website to function are set automatically and do not require consent.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies — required for core website functionality
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors interact with our website (only with consent)
• Marketing cookies — used to deliver relevant content (only with consent)

You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies. You can also disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of our website.

Third-Party Advertising

We work with third-party advertising networks and technology partners to serve advertisements on our website. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements.

Our advertising partners include content recommendation and native advertising services. These partners operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. By using our website, you acknowledge that advertising may be served by third parties who collect data in accordance with their own terms.

Third-party advertisers may collect the following types of data:

• Browser type and operating system
• IP address (in anonymised or truncated form)
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website address
• Interactions with advertisements (clicks, impressions)

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Your Ad Choices (Canada) or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings. Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements — it means the ads shown will no longer be personalised to your interests.

Marketing Communications (CASL)

We will only send you commercial electronic messages if you have actively provided express or implied consent to receive them, in compliance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Every marketing email we send includes a functional unsubscribe mechanism. You may withdraw consent at any time. We will process unsubscribe requests within 10 business days as required by CASL. We will not share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Data Breach Notification

We are subject to mandatory breach notification obligations under PIPEDA. In the event of a breach of security safeguards involving personal information that creates a real risk of significant harm to any individual, we are required to notify the affected individuals and report the breach to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) as soon as feasible. We maintain internal procedures to assess, contain, and report data breaches in accordance with these obligations.

Privacy Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal information in compliance with PIPEDA, you may lodge a complaint with us in the first instance by writing to our Chief Privacy Officer. We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and aim to resolve it within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC):
