This Cookie Policy explains how Discover Canada uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Discover Canada) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:
These cookies are essential for enabling user movement around our website and providing access to features such as your account and other secure areas of the website. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and do not remember where you have been on the internet. This category of cookies cannot be disabled.
These cookies enhance the functionality of our website by storing your preferences. Functional cookies also remember any customization you make to the website to enhance your experience. They are not essential, but without them, our website can't remember your choices or personalization, such as your preferred language or the region you are in.
These cookies collect information that is used in statistical form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are. They help us optimize our website for users. We use Google Analytics, which is a popular web analytics service that helps us understand how visitors engage with our website.
These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in our cookie consent banner or by using our cookie settings panel, which you can access by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of our website.
