Performance cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors interact with the website, including which pages are visited most frequently and whether users encounter error messages. This data is aggregated and used solely to improve the structure, speed, and reliability of the website. No personally identifiable information is collected or transmitted through performance cookies. The user may decline performance cookies without affecting their ability to access the core content of the site.

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices made by the user, such as preferred language settings or previously completed form fields, in order to provide a more consistent browsing experience across sessions. The information retained by functional cookies is limited to session preferences and does not include financial or sensitive personal data. Disabling functional cookies may result in certain site preferences not being retained between visits, but will not prevent access to the site's primary content.

Targeting cookies are used to deliver content and messaging relevant to the interests of the user, based on browsing behaviour observed on the website and, where applicable, on third-party platforms. These cookies may be set by the Company or by third-party service providers operating on its behalf. The data collected through targeting cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of informational outreach and to limit the frequency with which particular content is displayed to the same user. The user may withdraw consent for targeting cookies at any time through the site's cookie preference settings.

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation, users have the right to be informed about the cookies placed on their device, to provide or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies, and to request information about how cookie data is processed. The user may adjust their cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings panel available on the website. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.
