COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Maple Web Agency (“Maple Web Agency,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit maplewebagency.com and other websites or pages operated by us.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

By using our website, cookies and similar technologies may be placed on or accessed from your device as described below. Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before using certain non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites may place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow websites to recognize a browser or device and may help websites:

operate correctly;
remember visitor preferences;
maintain security;
understand how visitors use the website;
measure website performance;
improve user experience;
analyze marketing campaigns; and
provide more relevant advertising.

Cookies may store information such as browser settings, preferences, session identifiers, website interactions, and other technical information.

Some cookie or tracking information may constitute personal information where it can reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual.

2. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, Maple Web Agency or our service providers may use technologies such as:

pixels;
tracking tags;
web beacons;
scripts;
local storage;
session storage;
SDKs;
analytics technologies; and
similar tracking technologies.

For simplicity, this Cookie Policy generally refers to all of these technologies as “cookies.”

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate properly.

They may support functions such as:

website security;
page navigation;
form functionality;
session management;
fraud prevention;
storing privacy or cookie preferences; and
maintaining basic website functionality.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, some may not be optional.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help improve the website experience and remember choices you make.

For example, they may remember:

language preferences;
website settings;
form information;
display preferences; or
other personalized settings.

Disabling functional cookies may cause certain features to work differently or become unavailable.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website.

These technologies may help us understand:

which pages are visited;
how visitors arrive at the website;
how long visitors remain on particular pages;
which buttons or features visitors interact with;
device and browser information;
general website traffic patterns; and
whether technical errors occur.

We use this information to evaluate and improve website performance, design, content, and user experience.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

We may use advertising or marketing cookies to understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and, where applicable, provide advertising that may be more relevant to visitors.

These technologies may be used to:

measure advertising conversions;
identify whether a visitor arrived through an advertisement;
measure campaign performance;
create advertising audiences;
limit repeated advertisements; and
support remarketing or targeted advertising.

Canadian privacy regulators consider online behavioural advertising and tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons capable of involving personal information. Organizations must provide appropriate information and choice regarding such tracking.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly by Maple Web Agency or through our website.

They may be used for website functionality, security, preferences, analytics, or other legitimate website purposes.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are placed or accessed by companies other than Maple Web Agency.

For example, we may use third-party services for:

website analytics;
advertising;
social media integration;
embedded content;
scheduling;
CRM functionality;
live chat;
website hosting;
automation;
conversion measurement; or
other digital services.

These providers may collect information directly from your browser or device and process that information according to their own privacy policies.

5. Services We May Use

Depending on how our website is configured, Maple Web Agency may use technologies provided by services such as:

Google Services

We may use Google services, including services such as Google Analytics, to understand website traffic, visitor behaviour, and website performance.

Google technologies may collect information including:

IP address;
device information;
browser information;
pages viewed;
approximate location;
referral information; and
interactions with our website.

Meta Technologies

We may use Meta technologies, such as the Meta Pixel, to measure advertising effectiveness and understand actions visitors take after viewing or interacting with advertising on platforms such as Facebook or Instagram.

These technologies may allow Meta and Maple Web Agency to measure conversions and campaign performance and, where permitted, support advertising audiences or remarketing.

Other Services

We may also implement cookies or similar technologies from CRM providers, scheduling platforms, website hosting services, automation platforms, advertising services, chat providers, or other technologies used to operate and improve our business.

The specific providers used may change as our website and services evolve.

6. Why We Use Cookies

Maple Web Agency may use cookies for purposes including:

Website operation: To make our website function correctly and securely.

User experience: To remember preferences and make website navigation easier.

Analytics: To understand website usage and improve our website.

Performance: To identify errors and optimize page performance.

Marketing: To measure advertising and marketing campaigns.

Conversions: To understand when advertising or marketing activities result in inquiries, quote requests, bookings, or other actions.

Security: To detect suspicious or fraudulent activity.

Preferences: To remember cookie choices and other visitor settings.

7. Consent and Your Choices

Where required by applicable law, we may request your consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies.

You may be presented with a cookie banner or consent interface allowing you to:

Accept All Cookies

This allows the categories of cookies presented in the consent interface.

Reject Non-Essential Cookies

This prevents optional categories from being activated where technically applicable.

Manage Preferences

You may choose which optional categories you permit.

Changing or withdrawing your consent should not prevent access to the basic website where the declined technologies are not necessary for the requested service.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada states that online behavioural tracking must provide individuals with meaningful knowledge and choice; technologies that do not provide a viable ability to decline should not be used for behavioural advertising.

8. Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow users to control cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

view stored cookies;
delete cookies;
block cookies;
block third-party cookies;
receive notifications before cookies are placed; or
configure different rules for different websites.

Blocking all cookies may cause certain website functions to operate incorrectly.

Deleting cookies may also remove previously stored preferences, including cookie consent selections.

9. Advertising Choices

Where advertising cookies or similar technologies are used, you may be able to control certain advertising preferences through:

our cookie consent tool;
your browser settings; and
privacy or advertising settings provided by the relevant third-party platforms.

Turning off personalized advertising does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. It may mean that advertisements are no longer customized using certain information about your browsing activity.

10. Do We Sell Personal Information?

Maple Web Agency does not sell personal information.

Certain advertising or analytics services may receive information from our website to provide services such as analytics, conversion measurement, or advertising.

Such processing is described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy.

11. Cookies and Commercial Electronic Communications

Cookies are separate from email marketing subscriptions.

Providing consent to cookies does not automatically mean that you have consented to receiving marketing emails or text messages from Maple Web Agency.

Marketing communications are handled separately in accordance with applicable requirements, including Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”).

CASL generally requires businesses to have consent before sending commercial electronic messages.

Canadian guidance also explains that cookies may, in some circumstances, involve implied or express consent depending on the technology and the user’s conduct, while CASL separately addresses the installation of computer programs on another person’s device.

12. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until they are manually removed.

The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the provider responsible for it.

Where appropriate, we aim to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

13. Data Processed Outside Canada

Some third-party service providers we use may operate infrastructure outside Canada.

As a result, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may be processed or stored in another country and may become subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

Additional information about international processing can be found in our Privacy Policy.

14. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social networks, or platforms.

Once you leave Maple Web Agency’s website, those third parties may use their own cookies and tracking technologies.

Their activities are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, and Maple Web Agency does not control how those websites use cookies.

15. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect:

changes to our website;
new technologies;
changes to service providers;
changes in our business practices; or
changes in legal or regulatory requirements.

When this policy is updated, the “Last Updated” date at the top of the page will also be updated.

We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
