Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 February 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how C·tradis ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on canadatradis.com (the "Site"), what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your choices, and to provide information to site owners and advertisers. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and device identifiers. Cookies may be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.
2. How we use cookies
We keep cookie use modest and purposeful. We use them to operate the Site securely, remember basic preferences, understand how our content is read in aggregate, and support the display advertising that funds our free content.
3. Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary. Required for the Site to function and to keep it secure. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Preferences. Remember choices such as display settings so the Site behaves the way you expect.
- Analytics / performance. Help us understand which pages are read and how the Site performs, using aggregated and largely de-identified data.
- Advertising / targeting. Set by us or our advertising partners to show and measure ads, including interest-based ads, and to limit how often you see them.
4. First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by canadatradis.com. Third-party cookies are set by partners we use, including Google, for analytics and advertising. Third-party cookies are governed by those providers' own policies; for Google, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
5. Your consent
Where required by law, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies. By continuing to use the Site with cookies enabled, you consent to their use as described. You can withdraw consent at any time by changing your browser settings or using the opt-out tools below.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings. Guidance is available for the major browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security
- Apple Safari — Preferences › Privacy
- Microsoft Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
7. Opting out of interest-based advertising
You can control interest-based advertising through these tools:
- Google Ads Settings — adssettings.google.com
- Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (YourAdChoices) — youradchoices.ca
- Network Advertising Initiative — optout.networkadvertising.org
- Digital Advertising Alliance — optout.aboutads.info
Opting out stops interest-based ads but you may still see generic advertising.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to it, our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, but you can use the controls above to manage tracking.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the law change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
