3. Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the website, referral sources, approximate location, device information, and website interactions.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visitors and prepare aggregated website-usage reports. Google may process this information on our behalf in locations outside Canada.

Google requires websites using Google Analytics to disclose its use and explain how information is collected and processed. 

Visitors may limit Google Analytics tracking through their browser settings or through Google’s Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Google Ads and Conversion Tracking

We may use Google Ads to advertise our services and Google Ads conversion tracking to understand whether an advertisement results in actions such as a website visit, telephone call, form submission, or other inquiry.

Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to measure advertising activity and attribute website interactions to an advertising campaign.

Information collected through advertising and analytics tools may include:

  • The advertisement or search result a visitor interacted with

  • The pages visited after interacting with an advertisement

  • Device, browser, and approximate location information

  • Whether a visitor completed a designated website action

  • Advertising and measurement identifiers

We do not intentionally send personal information entered into our contact forms, such as names, email addresses, telephone numbers, message contents, or photographs, to Google through standard advertising or analytics tags.

Google prohibits advertisers from placing personally identifiable information in URLs or improperly transmitting it through remarketing or conversion-tracking tags. 

5. Personalized Advertising and Remarketing

We may use remarketing or similar advertising features to show advertisements to previous visitors on Google or websites participating in Google’s advertising network.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or device identifiers based on a visitor’s previous use of our website to select, display, personalize, and measure advertisements.

Visitors can control how Google personalizes advertisements through Google Ads Settings. They may also use applicable industry advertising opt-out services or browser controls.

Google requires advertisers using website visitor data for remarketing to explain how the data is used, disclose the involvement of third-party vendors, explain the use of cookies or device identifiers, and provide an opt-out method. 

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on a visitor’s browser or device. We and our service providers may use:

  • Essential cookies, which support website security and basic functionality

  • Analytics cookies, which help us understand website usage

  • Advertising cookies, which help measure advertising performance and, where enabled, support personalized advertising

  • Preference cookies, which remember certain website choices

You can configure your browser to reject or delete cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect how some portions of the website operate.

Where required, visitors will be provided with a cookie notice or consent control before non-essential analytics or advertising technologies are activated.
