About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the Search House website and explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit or interact with the site.

Cookies can support website functionality, security, analytics, performance measurement, user preferences, and marketing measurement depending on which technologies are enabled on the website.

This policy should be read together with the Search House Privacy Policy , which explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.

What cookies are

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website or related service may store on or associate with your browser or device.

Cookies can help websites remember information between page loads or visits. Depending on their purpose, they may store or reference information relating to a session, device, browser, preferences, website interactions, or measurement activity.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, identifiers, and other technologies used to operate or measure digital services.

Types of technologies that may be used

Depending on how the Search House website is configured, cookies and similar technologies may fall into categories such as the following.

Essential website technologies

Some technologies may be necessary for the website to operate properly. These may support functions such as website security, traffic management, technical sessions, spam prevention, form submission, or other core functionality.

Restricting technologies that are necessary for core website functionality may cause certain parts of the website to operate incorrectly or become unavailable.

Analytics & performance measurement

Search House may use analytics or measurement technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website and to improve website performance, usability, content, and conversion paths.

Depending on the technologies in use, analytics information may include data such as:

• Pages viewed and navigation patterns.
• Approximate visit duration.
• Referring websites or traffic sources.
• Browser and device information.
• General interaction with website features.
• Approximate geographic information.
• Technical performance information.

Analytics technologies enabled on the Search House website may change as the website and its measurement systems evolve.

Marketing & advertising technologies

Search House may use marketing or advertising technologies to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, understand how visitors arrive at the website, or determine whether certain website actions occur after an advertising interaction.

Where these technologies are enabled, third-party advertising or measurement providers may receive information about browser, device, website, or campaign interactions in accordance with their own technologies and policies.

Third-party technologies

Some technologies used by a website may be provided by third parties rather than directly by Search House.

Third-party providers may process information using their own infrastructure and may operate in jurisdictions outside Canada.

Search House does not control the independent privacy practices, cookie technologies, or data handling practices of third-party providers.

Where relevant, you should review the privacy and cookie information provided by those third parties.

Session & persistent cookies

Cookies may remain on a device for different periods of time depending on their purpose and configuration.

Session cookies

Session cookies generally exist for the duration of a browsing session and may be removed after the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on a browser or device after a session ends and can remain until they expire, are replaced, or are deleted by the user.

The duration of third-party cookies is generally determined by the provider responsible for the technology.

Managing cookies through your browser

Most modern browsers allow you to review, block, restrict, or delete cookies through browser settings.

The exact controls available depend on the browser and device you use. Browser settings may allow you to:

• Delete existing cookies.
• Block future cookies.
• Restrict cookies from third parties.
• Clear website data.
• Manage site-specific storage permissions.

Blocking or deleting certain technologies may affect website functionality, saved preferences, or measurement capabilities.

Consent & cookie preferences

Where consent or another form of user choice is required for a particular technology, Search House aims to provide appropriate information or controls based on the website functionality in use and applicable requirements.

If Search House implements a cookie preference or consent-management tool, the choices available through that tool may be used to manage optional categories of website technology.

Your browser settings may provide additional controls independently of any settings offered directly through this website.

Do Not Track & similar signals

Browsers and devices may provide privacy-related signals or settings intended to communicate a user’s tracking preferences.

There is not always a single, universally applied technical standard governing how all websites and third-party services respond to every browser-based privacy signal.

Search House may update its handling of browser or device privacy signals as relevant technologies, industry practices, and applicable requirements evolve.

Cookies & personal information

Some information associated with cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information depending on the circumstances and applicable law.

Information handled by Search House through website technologies is subject to the principles described in the Search House Privacy Policy .

The Privacy Policy provides additional information about collection, use, disclosure, retention, security, access, correction, and privacy requests.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

Search House may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as website functionality, analytics, marketing technologies, service providers, privacy practices, or applicable requirements change.

The current version will be posted on this page and the “Last updated” date will be revised when the policy changes.
