1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on a visitor’s device when a website is accessed. They may allow the website to remember selected preferences, maintain necessary website functions, understand general website usage, and support requested services.

We use cookies only for identified and legitimate website purposes and seek to limit their use to what is appropriate for those purposes.

2. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, a Cookie banner is displayed to provide you with a choice regarding non-essential cookies.

Only when you click the “Accept” button on our Cookie banner indicating your consent will we use non-essential cookies.

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to operate or for a service specifically requested by you may be used without consent where permitted by applicable law.

You are free to decline non-essential cookies. Declining them will not prevent you from accessing the website or purchasing products where those functions can operate without such cookies.

Where applicable, you may withdraw or change your cookie choice through the cookie settings available on the website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions, such as maintaining basic page operation, remembering necessary session information, supporting checkout functions, and maintaining selected website preferences.

These cookies are generally used only for the period necessary to provide the relevant function. Session cookies normally expire when the browsing session ends, while certain necessary cookies may remain for a limited period where required for their intended function.

Preference Cookies

These cookies may remember choices made while using the website, such as language, region, or other selected preferences.

Where used, preference cookies are retained only for the period reasonably required for the relevant preference, normally for up to 12 months, unless a shorter period is appropriate.

Analytics Cookies

Where you provide consent, analytics cookies may be used to understand general website activity, such as pages visited and general interaction with the website.

Analytics cookies are retained only for the period required for the stated purpose and are reviewed periodically. Unless a different period is required for a particular service, consent-based analytics cookies are generally retained for up to 12 months, after which consent may be requested again where appropriate.

Payment-Related Cookies

Certain cookies or similar technologies may be used in connection with payment functions when you proceed through the checkout process.

Where such technologies are provided by Stripe, they are handled by Stripe in connection with payment processing and related website functions. These technologies may have their own applicable retention periods and privacy practices.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or accessed by third-party service providers when their services are used on the website.

Third-party payment-related cookies are processed by Stripe when Stripe payment services are used. Their use may be necessary to support payment processing, fraud monitoring, transaction functionality, and related payment services.

We do not use third-party cookies for purposes beyond the purposes disclosed to you and applicable consent requirements.

Third-party providers may apply their own cookie and privacy policies where applicable.

5. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookie retention periods depend on the type and purpose of the cookie.

Our general approach is:

We periodically review cookie use and remove or renew cookies where their stated purpose no longer requires continued retention.

Cookie retention periods may also be shorter where required by applicable law or where the relevant purpose has ended.

6. Consent and Withdrawal

For non-essential cookies, consent is obtained through the Cookie banner before those cookies are used.

Your consent is voluntary. You may decline non-essential cookies without being required to provide a reason.

You may also withdraw your consent or change your preferences where the website provides the relevant cookie settings.

If you withdraw consent, this will not affect processing that was lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.

7. Canadian Privacy Requirements

For visitors covered by Canadian privacy legislation, we seek meaningful consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information through cookies where consent is required.

The collection and use of information through cookies are limited to identified purposes and to information reasonably appropriate for those purposes.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably required for the identified purpose, applicable legal requirements, or legitimate operational requirements.

8. European Privacy Requirements

For visitors in the European Economic Area and other jurisdictions where applicable European privacy and electronic communications rules apply, non-essential cookies are used only after obtaining the required consent.

Consent is requested through a Cookie banner, and you may decline non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may be used where they are required to provide a website function or service requested by you.

Where consent is required, consent is not treated as having been given merely because you continue browsing the website.

9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before cookies are stored.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect certain website functions.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our cookie practices, website functions, service providers, or applicable legal requirements change.

Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
