Cookie Policy

1. About cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — your computer, tablet, or smartphone — when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to remember your preferences and provide information to the site owner. A cookie typically contains the name of the site it came from, how long it stays on your device, and a value that is usually a randomly generated unique number. When you return to a site, your browser sends the relevant cookies back, allowing the site to recognise your previous choices.

This Cookie Policy explains how GreenBridge ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on greenbridgeca.com (the "Site"), what each type does, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. Types of cookies we use

The table below summarises the cookies and local storage entries used on the Site, their purpose, and how long they last:

3. Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. On greenbridgeca.com, we use a single essential entry, cookie_consent, which is stored in your browser's local storage to record your cookie choice. This means that once you accept or decline, you will not be shown the consent banner again on future visits. Without this entry, the banner would appear on every page load. Essential cookies do not store any information that personally identifies you for marketing purposes.

4. Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with their content by collecting and reporting information anonymously. At this time, GreenBridge does not use third-party analytics cookies on the Site. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before any non-essential analytics cookies are set.

5. Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites in order to display advertising that is relevant to them. GreenBridge does not use marketing or advertising cookies on the Site, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks. Should this change, we would clearly disclose it here and obtain your express consent first.

6. Managing cookies

You have full control over cookies. When you first visit the Site, our banner lets you Accept or Decline non-essential cookies. You can also manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Please note that disabling certain cookies, including the essential cookie_consent entry, may affect how the Site functions and may cause the consent banner to reappear on each visit.

7. Legal basis

We rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website for essential cookies, and on your express consent for any analytics or marketing cookies, in line with PIPEDA and Canadian guidance on online tracking. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your stored preference or adjusting your browser settings. For more information on how we handle your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed.
