This Cookie Policy explains how Discover Canada ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. This policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Discover Canada) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
We use the following types of cookies:
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they can only be disabled by changing your browser preferences.
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, and with our permission, third-party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show advertisements which we think will be relevant to your interests while you are on third-party websites.
