Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use this information to help us understand our Website activity and to monitor and improve our website.

Cookies: Our Website uses a technology called «cookies». A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. The Website may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. A session cookie is used to identify a particular visit to our Website and expires after a short time, or when you close your web browser. A persistent cookie will remain on your devices for a set period of time specified in the cookie in order to remember your information and settings over a longer period of time.

You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from our Website, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of our Website.

Interest-Based Advertising/Advertising Cookies

Spring Living Retirement Communities uses third parties such as ad networks and other advertising companies that use their own tracking technologies (including cookies and pixel tags) to serve advertisements on our Website and other websites (including social media sites). This is a common marketing practice referred to as interest-based or online behavioural advertising. These companies may collect information about your activity on our Website and third-party websites (such as web pages you visit and your interaction with our advertising and other communications) and use this information to make predictions about your preferences and deliver ads that are more relevant to you on third party websites. This information may also be used to track and evaluate the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.

For more information about interest-based advertising on your desktop or mobile browser and to understand your options, including how you can opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from third-party advertising companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Interest-Based Advertising, please visit the DAAC website at http://youradchoices.ca/choices. 

Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioural information about you and may, therefore, be less relevant to you and your interests.

Interest-based advertising opt-outs work by saving cookies in your browser that tell the various ad partners that you have opted-out. Because cookies are generally browser-specific, your choice will only apply to the web browser from which you opt-out. You must opt-out from each web browser from which you do not want interest-based advertising (and this may involve different devices if you use more than one). Because the opt-outs are cookie-based, if you delete or clear your browser’s cookies, you will need to opt-out again.
