❖ Support website functionality and remember relevant preferences.
❖ Help protect accounts and detect suspicious or fraudulent activity.
❖ Understand website traffic, visitor activity and page performance.
❖ Improve the performance, usability and reliability of our services.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly necessary and functional cookies

These cookies support essential website functions, such as account authentication, session management, security and the operation of features you request. Disabling them may prevent certain parts of the website from working correctly.

Analytics and performance cookies

These technologies help us understand how visitors interact with HomeiLove, including which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the website and whether technical problems occur. We use Google Analytics on our Canadian website for website traffic and usage measurement.

Advertising and marketing cookies

If advertising or retargeting technologies are introduced, they may help measure advertising effectiveness or display relevant advertisements. Such technologies may be operated by third-party providers. We will provide appropriate information and choices where required by applicable law.

Preference cookies

Where implemented, these cookies may remember choices such as language, display preferences or other settings to make future visits more convenient.

4. Google Analytics

HomeiLove.ca uses Google Analytics to help measure website traffic and understand how visitors use the website.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from network information, browser and device information, referral sources, and interactions with website content. The information available to us depends on our Analytics configuration.

Google processes information in accordance with its own applicable terms and privacy documentation. For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy .

5. Cookies Used to Keep You Signed In

HomeiLove may use first-party authentication and session cookies to maintain your signed-in state and support account-related functions. These cookies serve a different purpose from Google Analytics cookies.

Analytics cookies are not intended to store your account password. You can manage cookies through your browser, but deleting or blocking essential session cookies may sign you out or affect certain website features.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Technologies

Some services integrated into our website may be provided by third parties. Depending on the features enabled, these providers may use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies.

Third-party technologies may include analytics, embedded content, payment services, advertising services or other integrations. The providers and technologies actually used may change as our website develops.

We encourage you to review the privacy information of any third-party service you choose to interact with.

7. Consent and Your Choices

We aim to provide clear information about our use of cookies and similar technologies. Under applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) where applicable, consent requirements depend on the information collected, the purposes of processing, the sensitivity of the information and the circumstances.

Where required, we will seek meaningful consent before using cookies or similar technologies for purposes that require it. Non-essential tracking should not be treated as automatically authorized merely because you visit the website.

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

8. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their privacy or security settings. You can usually:

Instructions vary by browser and device. Consult your browser's help documentation for the available controls.

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect sign-in, account sessions, security features and other website functions.

9. Personal Information and Cookies

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information when it identifies an individual or can reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual.

We handle personal information collected through these technologies in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws. We aim to limit collection and use to identified purposes and retain information only as needed for those purposes or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

10. Retention of Cookie Information

Cookies may be session-based, meaning they expire when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

Retention periods vary according to the cookie, its purpose, the settings of the relevant service and your browser choices. We do not promise a single retention period for every cookie.

11. International Processing

Some of our service providers may process information outside Canada, including in countries where privacy laws may differ from Canadian laws. Where applicable, personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and lawful access by their authorities.

For further information about how we handle personal information and any applicable cross-border processing, please consult our Privacy Policy.

12. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended to encourage children to provide personal information unnecessarily. We do not knowingly use cookie-based tracking to profile children for behavioural advertising where prohibited or inappropriate.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our services inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter.
