Cookie policy

This page explains how cookies work on tufpuff.ca, an information site about TuffPuff, and how you stay in control of them. The site has no accounts or forms, so it has no login cookies to set.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file that a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember a choice or recognise a returning browser. Similar tools, such as pixels and local storage, work the same way and are treated the same way on this page.

Which kinds of cookies can this site use?

Cookies fall into two groups by purpose:

• Cookies that keep the site working, such as remembering your cookie choice.
• Cookies that measure visits or track activity, which can identify a visitor or a browser.

The second group is the one that needs your agreement.

How does consent work?

In Canada, the guidance of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) on meaningful consent under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) applies. Tracking that can identify a visitor is allowed only if the visitor is told about it and its purpose and agrees. Express consent is needed where the information is sensitive.

This site follows that approach: you are told what a cookie is for, and tracking that can identify you is not set without your agreement.

How do I change or withdraw my consent?

You can change your choice at any time in your browser. Most browsers let you:

• see which cookies are stored for a site;
• delete some or all of them;
• block cookies from a site or from all sites.

Deleting the cookie that records your choice resets it, and you are asked again on your next visit. Blocking all cookies can stop parts of some websites from working.

What happens on the operator's website?

Buttons on this site lead to the operator of TuffPuff, GBL Solutions N.V. Once you arrive there, the operator's own cookie rules apply, and you set your choices on its website. This site does not control them.
