Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

Maple Tobacco Co. (“Maple Tobacco Co.”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Cookies Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on mapletobacco.ca (the “Website”).

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. It describes the purposes for which cookies may be used and the choices available to visitors.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your browser or device when you visit. They can help a website remember information about your visit, maintain a shopping session, remember preferences or understand how visitors use its pages.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and software development tools. These technologies can collect or store information differently from traditional cookies.

3. Types of cookies

Depending on the services enabled on our Website, cookies may fall into the following categories.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies may be needed to operate core website functions, maintain security, support navigation or keep a shopping basket and checkout session working. Where permitted by applicable law, they may operate without consent when genuinely necessary for a service you request.

Functional cookies

These cookies may remember choices such as language, region or other settings so that the Website can provide a more consistent experience.

Analytics and performance cookies

If analytics tools are enabled, these cookies may help us understand page visits, navigation patterns, site performance and technical errors. Information may be aggregated or processed by a third-party analytics provider.

Advertising and marketing cookies

If advertising or marketing technologies are enabled, they may be used to measure campaigns, understand interactions with promotions or help deliver relevant advertising. These technologies may involve third parties and may track activity across websites.

We do not claim that every category above is active on our Website. The categories used depend on the tools we have installed and how they are configured.

4. Why we use cookies

Where applicable, cookies and similar technologies may help us:

• Keep the Website and its essential features functioning.
• Support shopping-cart, checkout and session functionality.
• Protect the Website and help identify suspicious activity.
• Remember settings and improve the browsing experience.
• Measure Website traffic and understand technical performance.
• Evaluate the performance of marketing campaigns, if used.

We aim to use information collected through these technologies for purposes consistent with this policy and our Privacy Policy.

5. Third-party cookies

Some website features may be provided by third parties. Depending on which services are enabled, these providers may set or access cookies and similar technologies through our Website.

Examples of services a website may use include:

• Website analytics and performance measurement services.
• Payment providers that support secure transactions.
• Security, spam-prevention and fraud-detection services.
• Embedded content, customer support or marketing tools.

These are examples, not a confirmation that every service is installed on our Website. Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage visitors to review the applicable third-party notices.

6. How long do cookies last?

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies.

• Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them, depending on their settings.

The duration depends on the cookie's purpose and the provider's configuration. We do not specify individual cookie names or expiry periods here because these must be verified against the Website's current cookie inventory.

7. How to manage cookies

You may be able to manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block some or all cookies, or remove cookies already saved on your device.

Look for the privacy, security or site-settings section of your browser's settings for instructions specific to your browser.

Browser controls may not manage every form of tracking technology. Where a cookie-preference tool is provided on our Website, you should also use that tool to manage the applicable preferences.

8. Consent and cookie preferences

Where required by applicable law, we will seek consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies or similar technologies. The requirements can depend on the type of technology, its purpose and the jurisdiction that applies.

If a cookie-consent banner or preference centre is available, it may allow you to accept, reject or customise certain non-essential categories. Where required, the ability to reject non-essential cookies should be presented clearly and consent should be handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

You may be able to change or withdraw your preferences later through the same preference tool, if provided. Withdrawing consent does not necessarily remove cookies already stored on your device; you may need to delete those through your browser.

This policy page does not itself collect or record cookie consent. Any preference tool must be installed and configured separately.

9. Other tracking technologies

In addition to cookies, websites may use pixel tags, tracking scripts, local storage and related technologies. These may help measure visits, support embedded features, assess performance or record interactions.

Where these technologies collect personal information or require consent under applicable law, their use should be assessed and managed accordingly. Browser cookie controls may not block all of these technologies.

10. Cookies and personal information

Information associated with cookies may include browser or device details, pages visited, approximate usage information, preference settings and online identifiers. Depending on the circumstances, such information may be considered personal information under applicable privacy law.

How information is collected, used, retained, disclosed or transferred is explained further in our Privacy Policy.

We encourage visitors to review that policy for information about privacy choices and how to contact us with a privacy question.

11. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this policy when our Website, technologies, business practices or applicable legal requirements change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate.

Please review this page periodically to remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used.
