*When you visit a page that uses Google AdWords, either on one of Google’s sites or one of our partners’ sites, various cookies may be sent to your browser. These may be set from a few different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com, or googleadservices.com. To learn about Google Ads, including how you can opt out of interest-based advertising from Google and other participating companies, visit the About Google Ads page. Ads Settings helps you control the ads by Google that you see across the web. Even if you opt out of interest-based ads, you may still see ads based on factors such as your general location derived from your IP address, your browser type, your computer or device and recent, previous searches related to your current search. Incognito mode in Chrome allows you to browse the web without recording webpages and files in your browser history. Cookies are deleted after you've closed all of your incognito windows and tabs, and your bookmarks and settings are stored until you delete them.

**Google Analytics

Our website uses analytics tools i.e. Google Analytics and thus, when you visit our site your web browser automatically sends certain information to Google. This includes, for example, the web address of the page that you're visiting and your IP address. Google may also set cookies on your browser, or read cookies that are already there. Similarly, our apps that partner with Google can send information such as the name of the app and an identifier that helps Google to determine which ads it served to other apps on your device. We will not (and will not allow any third party to) use Google Analytics to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, email address or billing information), or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google. Information collected for analytics purposes goes outside of Canada to Google servers and may be processed in any country where Google operates servers and thus, data may be subject to the governing legislation of that country. For example, the USA Patriot Act. For further information about Google Analytics, please refer to the Google Analytics Terms of Service. If you don’t want Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Disabling Google Analytics will still permit you to access information or services from our websites.

***Springbot

Our website uses marketing automation combined with marketing analytics i.e. Springbot and thus, when you visit our site, register for a newsletter, contact us or make a purchase, non-personally identifiable information collected is sent to us and Springbot. The Springbot service generally receives information from our websites regarding the purchasing activities of our customers and uses the information received from us to search and collect certain information from publicly available websites that contain other information about our customers, receives similar information from third party websites that also subscribe to the Springbot service regarding their customers and under certain circumstances, provides information to us and other third party websites. In other words, the springbots analyze your demographic, social and purchase data in real-time and may be able to identify you. Springbot may use and distribute information that does not contain personally identifiable information. We will not resell or redistribute your information to any third party whatsoever. Springbot's terms of use and description of how your information may be used can be found at www.springbot.com/terms-of-use-privacy-policy.
