Cookie Policy
This page explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on Digital Solutions Hub. We describe what each category does, how you can manage your preferences, and how these choices apply to visitors in Canada.
Overview
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help remember preferences, keep you signed in, measure how the site is used, and support relevant advertising. We may also use related technologies such as localStorage, pixels, and device identifiers to provide a secure, reliable experience. This Cookie Policy complements our Privacy Policy and applies to visitors located in Canada. References to Canadian privacy requirements include PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws such as Quebec Law 25. For visitors from the EEA and the UK, we align with consent standards similar to GDPR by requesting explicit choices for non-essential cookies.
Cookie Categories We Use
Essential
Required for core site features and security. These enable basic functions like page navigation, session management, load balancing, and remembering your consent choices. Examples include session identifiers, CSRF tokens, and cookie_consent_status. Because they are strictly necessary, they are always active.
Retention: session duration or up to 12 months for preferences.
Analytics
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content quality and performance. Analytics cookies may record page views, approximate location, and device attributes in aggregate form. Examples include _ga, _ga_XXXXXXX, _gid, and _gat. These activate only after you give consent.
Retention: up to 14 months.
Marketing
Support personalized advertising and measure how effective our campaigns are. Marketing technologies may use cookie identifiers and conversion events to show or measure ads across different platforms. These are optional and activate only after you consent.
Retention: up to 540 days depending on the provider.
We avoid setting analytics or marketing cookies until you choose “Accept All” or enable them in the preferences panel. You can change your mind at any time.
Your Choices and Controls
- Accept All: enables analytics and marketing cookies in addition to essential ones.
- Reject Non-Essential: keeps only essential cookies active.
- Manage Preferences: lets you toggle analytics and marketing separately. Essential cookies cannot be turned off.
Your selection is stored for 12 months in localStorage to respect your choice. If you clear your browser data, you may be asked again. To update your choice now, use the button below or the link in the footer labeled “Manage cookie preferences.”
In addition to these tools, you can manage cookies directly in your browser settings by blocking or deleting them. Doing so may impact certain features, but essential functionality should remain available.
Region-Specific Information
This service is available to users located in Canada. Our approach follows Canadian privacy principles such as accountability, consent, and limiting use and retention. For visitors from the EEA or the UK, we present a consent banner that activates analytics and marketing cookies only after an explicit, informed choice. Regardless of location, you may withdraw consent at any time via the preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Material updates will be indicated on this page and may be announced on our homepage. Continued use of the site after changes take effect signifies that you acknowledge the updated policy.
