Cookies & Tracking — Betty Wins

In Canada, we use cookies and similar tracking tools to keep our site functioning, remember your choices, and understand how visitors use key areas. You can accept, reject, or adjust categories at any time through cookie settings. For more information, review the Privacy Policy.

Cookie Retention Periods

We keep cookie data only as long as needed for the purpose it was set for. Session cookies support log-in flow and stable navigation during active use, and they end when you close your browser or the session terminates.

Some cookies remain in place so preferences and selected settings are available later. These persistent cookies have defined expiry dates, ranging from 24-hour periods to a maximum of 24-month durations. They are deleted automatically at expiry, or sooner if you clear cookies manually.

• Session storage maintains continuity during a single visit.
• Persistent storage helps keep repeated choices consistent across visits.
• Retention follows regulatory expectations, including GDPR Article 5 principles and PIPEDA-aligned processing.

Managing Cookie Preferences

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, where you may allow, block, or remove stored data. Many browsers also support domain-specific rules, automatic deletion, and limits on tracking across visits. Advanced users can use developer tools to review individual cookies and remove them selectively.

Our cookie settings use practical categories across the site. Necessary cookies support core functionality. Analytics cookies help us understand website usage. Marketing cookies support personalized advertising. Preferences cookies store choices that keep the experience consistent.

• Use built-in browser tools to accept, reject, or delete cookies.
• Apply stricter controls for specific domains, if preferred.
• Use privacy extensions to block or manage cookies automatically.
• Update your selections in the cookie settings panel whenever your preferences change.

Cookie Security Measures

Cookies are small pieces of data stored locally as key-value pairs, enabling stateful behaviour over otherwise stateless HTTP connections. We use cookies for session management, authentication verification, and preference persistence. Technically, cookies are set via Set-Cookie headers and are sent automatically in later requests to matching domain origins.

We also use cookie configurations intended to reduce exposure and support secure handling. Secure cookies require HTTPS transmission protocols. HttpOnly cookies restrict client-side JavaScript access, reducing certain misuse risks. Where appropriate, implementations apply industry-standard encryption and security protocols for compliance-focused protection.

Third-Party Cookies & Updates

We may integrate third-party cookies through service providers that support site operations and delivery. These can include analytics platforms, payment processing gateways, advertising networks, and content delivery networks. Third-party cookies can operate across domains through iframe embedding, JavaScript SDK integration, and pixel tracking implementations.

Third parties maintain their own cookie policies covering collection, processing, and retention, and their technical specifications may limit what we can directly control. If you prefer a lighter tracking footprint, consider limiting non-essential categories in cookie settings and using browser controls.

When our cookie approach changes in a meaningful way, we may provide in-product announcements, email notifications for registered users, and updated banners. We also maintain change tracking and version control to keep updates consistent, while preserving compatibility where technically feasible.

How Cookies Operate on Our Site

To adjust your tracking choices, open cookie settings and select the categories that match your comfort level. You can also use browser controls for stricter blocking or faster clearing.
