Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. They help websites remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the Site is used.

Macleod Trail Calgary uses cookies and similar technologies to operate macleodtrailcalgary.ca, secure accounts, remember claim-flow context, and measure directory performance.

We may also load optional third-party scripts (for example, analytics or tag managers) configured by site administrators. Those services may set their own cookies subject to their policies.

The Site may use the following categories:

• Strictly necessary: required for core functionality such as authentication, security, and maintaining session state while you complete a business claim or sign in.
• Functional: remember choices that improve your experience, such as claim context during multi-step flows.
• Analytics: help us understand listing views, traffic patterns, and feature usage in aggregate. Our first-party analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish visits without selling personal data.
• Third-party: optional scripts added by administrators (for example, Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager) may set cookies controlled by those providers.

Examples of cookies or storage keys that may be used include:

• Authentication cookies set by our identity provider to keep you signed in securely.
• A short-lived claim-context cookie used during the business claim funnel.
• Analytics or measurement cookies if enabled through site settings or third-party scripts.

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent sign-in, claims, or other core features from working correctly.

If we implement a cookie consent banner in the future, you will be able to manage non-essential cookies through that interface.

To opt out of certain third-party analytics, follow the provider's opt-out instructions (for example, Google Analytics browser add-ons where applicable).

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Retention periods vary by purpose; authentication and analytics cookies typically range from session-only to several months, depending on configuration.

We may update this Cookies Policy when our practices or third-party integrations change. Please review this page periodically for the latest information.
