2) Marketing cookies disclosures 📣

This section explains how marketing and advertising cookies and similar technologies work on this website. We do not enable these technologies until you provide consent.

a) Third-party ad serving

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website and other sites on the internet.

b) Advertising partners

We may work with advertising partners such as Google and Meta to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests across various websites and platforms.

c) Remarketing

We may use remarketing services to advertise to previous visitors of our website. After visiting our site, you may see our ads on other websites, apps, or platforms you visit.

d) YouTube and Display Network

Advertisements may appear across Google services including YouTube, Gmail, and the Google Display Network.

e) Tracking technologies in use

We use the following tracking technologies on this website:

  • Cookies (first-party and third-party)
  • Tracking pixels (Google Ads tag / gtag.js, Meta Pixel)
  • Device identifiers (browser fingerprint, IP address)
  • Conversion event tags

f) Advertising measurement

We use conversion tracking to understand which advertisements lead to actions on our website — such as form submissions, calls, or purchases. This allows us to measure campaign effectiveness and allocate budget appropriately. Conversion data may be shared with Google Ads and Meta.

g) Technologies active on this site

Advertising and analytics technologies active on this site:

  • Google Ads (gtag.js / Google Tag Manager)
  • Google Analytics 4
  • Google Remarketing Tag
  • Meta Pixel (Facebook / Instagram)

Note: These technologies are only activated after consent for analytics and/or marketing cookies is provided via the cookie banner or preference panel.

h) Opt-out from personalized advertising

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time:

  • Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
  • Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu
  • Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org
  • Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info

Opting out does not remove ads entirely — you will continue to see non-personalized advertisements.

i) Cookie preference management

You can change your choices at any time using the link labeled “Manage cookie preferences” in the website footer, or by using the button below.

4) Data Sharing with Advertising Partners 🔁

We share certain data with advertising partners for campaign delivery and measurement. Recipients and the data categories shared include:

Google LLC

cookie identifiers, conversion events, anonymized behavioral data, remarketing lists. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Meta Platforms, Inc.

pixel events, conversion data, custom audiences. Governed by Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

We do not sell personal data. All transfers to Google and Meta operate under Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable. Data is processed for ad targeting and campaign measurement only — not resold to unaffiliated third parties.

Google and Meta may use this data across their own platforms in accordance with their respective policies. We encourage users to review those policies directly.

5) Lead Forms and Contact Requests ✉️

When you submit a contact form, request a quote, or register interest in our services, we collect the information you provide. This typically includes: full name, email address, phone number, and your message.

Legal basis

consent (GDPR Art. 6.1.a) and, where a service relationship exists, performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6.1.b).

Retention

form submission data is retained for up to 2 years from the date of submission, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

A link to this Privacy Policy appears adjacent to every submission button on this site. Submitting a form constitutes acknowledgment of this policy.

For Canada-based users, we also aim to follow applicable privacy principles (including meaningful consent and limiting collection to what is needed) while providing GDPR-aligned controls for international visitors.

6) Google Services and Advertising 🔎

This website uses the following Google services:

Google Analytics 4

collects anonymized usage data, device info, and behavioral signals. IP anonymization is enabled. Data retention is set to 14 months. Users may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

records when a user completes a defined action (form submission, call, purchase) after clicking one of our ads. This data is used solely for measuring ad campaign performance.

Google Remarketing

allows us to show ads to previous visitors across Google's network. Remarketing lists are not created from sensitive data categories (health, finance, religion, sexual orientation).

Google Tag Manager

deploys tracking tags on our behalf. No personal data is collected by GTM itself; it acts as a container for the tags listed above.

Google's advertising products are governed by: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

7) Meta Advertising Services 📊

This website uses the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The pixel may record:

  • Page views and time on site
  • Specific conversion events (form submissions, purchases)
  • Custom audience membership for retargeting purposes

We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor to target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta's advertising policies.

Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. Refer to Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

8) Prohibited content self-declaration 🧾

This website does not promote, sell, or facilitate access to prohibited product or service categories including but not limited to: weapons, controlled substances, counterfeit goods, gambling services (unlicensed), adult content, or services that make misleading health or financial claims. All advertising conducted through Google Ads and Meta Ads complies with the respective platform policies in full.

9) Landing page integrity statement 🧩

The content of this website accurately represents the products and services advertised. No bait-and-switch practices are employed. The experience delivered to users arriving from paid advertisements is identical to the experience for all other visitors. Cloaking, automatic redirects, and content variation by traffic source are not used on this website.

10) Children's privacy 👶

This website is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we discover that data has been collected from a person under 16 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it promptly. Contact us at the address in this policy if you believe we have received data from a minor.

11) International data transfers 🌍

Personal data collected through this website may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States, where Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc. are based.

These transfers are conducted under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, which provide appropriate safeguards for personal data. A copy of the applicable SCCs can be requested by contacting us directly.

As a Canada-based organization, we also consider cross-border processing when using service providers. Where applicable, data may be processed outside Canada in accordance with provider terms and this policy.
