Cookie Policy

1. Introduction to Cookie Architecture

Residency Ready Pro Ltd is committed to transparency regarding web technologies deployed on our servers. When you visit our website, small files known as “cookies” and local browser storage entries may be stored on your device to facilitate site functionality and statutory age verification.

2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage Objects?

Cookies are small text strings containing alphanumeric identifiers transmitted from our web server to your browser. Local Storage is a modern web standard permitting secure client-side storage of configuration variables that persist across browsing tabs without inflating HTTP request headers.

3. Regulatory Context (Canada PIPEDA & Anti-Spam CASL)

Our cookie implementation complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). We use tracking technologies strictly with implied or expressed user consent and for legitimate, transparent purposes.

4. Strictly Necessary System Cookies

These cookies are essential for navigating the site, maintaining cybersecurity perimeter defenses, preventing cross-site request forgery, and balancing server loads. Because our site cannot function securely without them, strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled via site preference toggles.

5. Age Gate Verification and Preference Storage

Under Ontario provincial gaming standards, our website must verify that visitors are at least 19 years old. When you confirm your age, a persistent key (age_verified=1) is written to your browser’s Local Storage and a secure cookie (age_ok=1) is set. This prevents the age verification popup from interrupting every subsequent page load.

6. Performance and Anonymized Aggregated Analytics

We may monitor aggregate traffic volumes, server response latencies, and regional visitor flows to optimize website performance. Any analytical telemetry collected is completely anonymized; IP addresses are truncated, and individual users are never personally tracked or profiled.

7. Functional Interface and Navigation Cookies

Functional cookies remember display choices such as mobile navigation menu states, accordion tab expansions, and accessibility preferences. These entries contain only boolean states (true/false) and contain zero personally identifiable records.

8. Session Cookies vs. Persistent Storage

Session cookies exist only during an active browser visit and are destroyed when you close your browser window. Persistent cookies and Local Storage items remain on your hard drive for a specified retention period (typically up to 12 months) unless manually purged.

9. Third-Party Scripts and Embedded Resources

All core fonts and assets on our platform are self-hosted directly from our Canadian server origin to eliminate third-party tracking beacons. We do not integrate external ad-retargeting pixels, social media tracker widgets, or commercial ad-network tags.

10. User Control and Browser-Based Cookie Disabling

You can manage, restrict, or purge cookies at any time through your web browser preferences:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions.

11. Impact of Disabling Cookies on Site Navigation

If you choose to block all cookies and Local Storage in your browser, our informational pages will remain viewable; however, you will be prompted to verify your 19+ age eligibility on every new page navigation.

12. Do-Not-Track Signals and Global Privacy Controls

Our website respects automated browser privacy signals, including Do-Not-Track (DNT) headers and Global Privacy Control (GPC) flags. When detected, our servers automatically disable all non-essential analytics logging.

13. Periodic Policy Updates and Audit Schedule

Our technical team performs semi-annual audits of all script dependencies and cookie footprints to ensure ongoing alignment with evolving Canadian and international privacy statutes. Revisions will be published to this URL.
