Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Field Mantel uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website focused on saving costs for children's goods and services in Edmonton, Alberta. As an entity operating in Canada, we are committed to transparency regarding data collection in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

1. Understanding Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Field Mantel) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".

Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.

C. Marketing and Targeted Advertising

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests in local Edmonton discounts.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under PIPEDA and Alberta's PIPA, we rely on your "implied consent" for strictly necessary cookies by your continued use of the site. However, for analytical and marketing cookies, we strive to obtain "express consent" where applicable. By interacting with our cookie banner or continuing to browse our resources on childcare subsidies and grocery budgeting, you acknowledge our use of these technologies.

5. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Website.

6. Third-Party Tracking Technologies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Website, deliver advertisements on and through the Website, and so on. These cookies may track your browsing habits across different websites to build a profile of your interests. This information may be shared with other third parties to show you relevant Edmonton-based advertisements on other websites you visit.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
