Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how V&A STYLO S.C. (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly, including contact form submissions and communications about our educational programs available across Canada.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet). Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies) and others are set by third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies). In addition to cookies, we may use pixel tags and similar tracking technologies that perform functions comparable to cookies, for example measuring visits or attributing an inquiry submission to an advertising campaign.

1) Key definitions

Cookies are small files stored in your browser or on your device that help a site remember information about your visit.

Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small code snippets that can report events such as page views or conversions.

Consent means your explicit choice to allow optional cookie categories (analytics and marketing). Essential cookies operate regardless of consent because they are required for core site functionality.

2) Cookie lifespans and sources

Cookies can be session cookies (removed when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them). Cookies can also be first-party (set by this website) or third-party (set by external service providers).

We aim to keep cookie usage limited to what supports secure site operation, performance measurement, and advertising relevance when you opt in. We do not use cookies to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

3) Cookie categories used on this website

This website uses three categories of cookies. You can manage your choices at any time via the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer.

Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They support basic operations such as keeping a session consistent, remembering your cookie consent choice, and maintaining security measures. Because these cookies are necessary, they cannot be disabled through our preference panel.

• Maintaining session continuity and basic site navigation.
• Storing your cookie consent choice so we can respect it on future visits.
• Supporting security and abuse prevention controls.

Analytics cookies (optional, consent required)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited most often and how users move through the site. This helps us improve clarity, structure, and performance. Analytics cookies only activate when you choose to accept them.

• Provider example: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization.
• Typical data: page views, approximate location, device/browser data, and interaction events.
• Retention (typical): 14 months for analytics reporting settings; cookie lifetimes may extend longer as shown in the table below.

Marketing cookies (optional, consent required)

Marketing cookies support advertising measurement and relevance. When enabled, they can help attribute actions (such as submitting an inquiry) to a campaign, and they may be used to build remarketing or lookalike audiences. Marketing cookies only activate when you choose to accept them.

• Provider examples: Google Ads and Meta advertising tools.
• Typical data: cookie identifiers, page view events, conversion events, and campaign parameters.
• Purpose: conversion attribution, frequency measurement, and ad relevance reporting.

4) Cookie table

The table below lists the cookies that may be used on this website. Some third-party cookies will only appear if the related category is enabled via consent.

5) Third-party providers

Where enabled by your consent choices, we may use third-party services to support analytics and marketing measurement. These providers may set and read cookies and similar identifiers.

• Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager).
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel and related advertising measurement tools).
• Cloudflare (content delivery network and security functions).

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes in a way that is inconsistent with the purposes described in this policy. However, their processing may be governed by their own privacy policies.

6) Managing your cookie choices

You can manage cookies in three ways:

• Our cookie preference panel: use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to accept, reject, or customize analytics and marketing cookies.
• Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies. Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.
• Provider controls: you can use tools offered by providers to manage interest-based ads and analytics collection.

7) Helpful opt-out resources

The following resources may help you manage analytics and advertising preferences. These are third-party sites and their availability may change over time:

• Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
• Google Ads Settings
• Meta ad preferences
• Your Online Choices (EU)

8) Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how this website operates. When we make updates, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
