At Canada Design, we believe in transparency. This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies and similar Tracking technologies on our website, canada-design.com. By using our site, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and help us understand how you use our guides and resources.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some are required for technical reasons for our site to operate, while others enable us to track the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our “Pedia.”
The types of cookies we use include:
- Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our site and to use some of its features, such as secure areas or contact forms.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our site is being used (e.g., “Which province is looking for Webflow vs. WordPress comparisons?”) and how effective our marketing campaigns are.
- Functional Cookies: These are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our site but are non-essential. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like video content) may become unavailable.
- Affiliate & Advertising Cookies: Since we provide high-quality guides for free, we sometimes use affiliate links (for hosting, themes, or tools). These cookies allow our partners to recognize that you came from Canada Design so we can receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.
- Consent Banner: Upon your first visit to Canada Design, a banner will appear allowing you to manage your consent, specifically in compliance with Quebec’s Law 25, which requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. For example, we use Google Analytics and Bing Webmaster Tools to help us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
