What cookies are
Cookies are small data files or similar browser-storage technologies that can remember information about a visit. They can support essential functions, preserve preferences, help measure traffic or assist with advertising attribution. The exact technologies available can vary by browser, device and service provider.
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies and local preference records support core functions such as remembering your cookie choice, protecting forms from abuse and maintaining basic site operation. These technologies are used because the requested website functions cannot operate reliably without them. Their retention is limited to the period reasonably needed for the function, which can range from the browsing session to a longer preference period.
Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies can collect information about page views, approximate visit duration, referral source, browser or device category and interaction with article sections. We use this information to understand aggregate usage, improve readability and assess whether important tax topics are being found. Where consent is required or the site presents a consent choice, analytics technologies are not intended to activate until the relevant choice is made.
Analytics retention periods depend on the service configuration. We aim to use a limited period appropriate for trend analysis rather than indefinite retention of event-level identifiers.
Marketing and attribution cookies
Marketing or attribution technologies can help measure whether a visitor arrived through an advertising campaign and whether the visitor completed a review request. Advertising partners may process device, browser, referral and interaction information according to their own privacy terms and applicable contractual restrictions. These technologies are treated as optional where the consent interface makes them optional.
NorthLedger may receive traffic from content recommendation and native-advertising channels. Advertising content should be clearly identified, and optional marketing technology is not necessary to read the article or submit a basic request.
Third parties
Depending on the tools used at a particular time, third parties can include hosting, security, analytics, communications and advertising-measurement providers. Some providers may process information outside Canada. Their retention schedules and privacy obligations can differ from ours, and they may be subject to lawful access requests in their jurisdiction.
Managing consent
The cookie banner offers an acceptance action and a settings action. In settings, necessary cookies remain enabled while analytics and marketing categories can be selected separately. You can also delete stored website data through browser controls. Deleting a saved preference may cause the banner to appear again on a later visit.
Browser blocking can affect website functions. If all storage is disabled, the site may be unable to remember a privacy choice and may ask again on a future page load.
Retention approach
Session technologies are generally removed when the browsing session ends. Preference cookies may remain for months so a choice can be remembered. Analytics and marketing identifiers, when enabled, are configured for limited retention consistent with their measurement purpose and applicable provider settings. We periodically review whether a category is still needed.
Privacy rights and questions
Information collected through cookies can be personal information when it is linked or reasonably linkable to an identifiable individual. Rights and request procedures are described in the Privacy Policy. Questions can be directed to Environmental TAX Advisory at the company contact details shown below.
