Measure advertising effectiveness

Some cookies expire when a browser session ends, while others remain for a specified period.

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support essential website operations.

They may be used for:

Website security
Session management
Fraud prevention
Saving cookie preferences
Essential website functionality

Where legally permitted, strictly necessary cookies may operate without prior consent.

Depending on the services enabled, they may collect information about:

Pages visited
General website traffic
Navigation patterns
Device and browser types
Website performance
Technical errors
Approximate visitor locations

Where required by law, non-essential analytics cookies will be activated only after appropriate consent.

C. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may support enhanced website features or remember optional visitor preferences.

These may include:

Display preferences
Optional personalization
Previously selected settings
Enhanced website functionality

Whether consent is required depends on the purpose of the cookie and applicable law.

D. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising and marketing technologies may be used to measure promotional campaigns or support relevant advertising.

They may help determine whether visitors interact with advertisements or promotional links.

Where legally required, these technologies will remain inactive until the visitor provides consent.

We do not treat continued browsing or silence as consent where affirmative consent is required.

4. Cookie Consent Choices

Where consent is legally required, visitors should be offered clear choices before optional cookies are activated.

These choices may include:

Accept All: Allow strictly necessary cookies and all optional cookie categories presented for consent.

Reject Optional: Continue using strictly necessary cookies while declining optional analytics, functional, and advertising cookies.

Customize: Select which optional cookie categories to allow.

Visitors should be able to make their choices without misleading language or unnecessary obstacles.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent ordinary access to publicly available florist directory content.

5. Withdrawing or Changing Cookie Consent

Visitors should be able to update their cookie preferences at any time through an accessible Cookie Settings feature.

Where processing relies on consent, withdrawal will stop future use of the affected optional technologies, subject to technical and legal limitations.

Withdrawal does not necessarily invalidate processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

6. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed by the website a visitor is accessing.

They may support essential functions, preferences, and other website features.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party services integrated into our website may use cookies or similar technologies.

Depending on the actual features enabled, these services may include:

Website analytics providers
Embedded maps
Video platforms
Social media integrations
Advertising platforms
Payment processors
Customer inquiry tools

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies.

FlowersDeliveryVancouver.com should identify its actual third-party providers through an up-to-date cookie inventory or consent management interface.

7. Cookie Duration and Retention

Cookies may be classified by duration.

Session Cookies: Usually expire when the relevant browsing session ends.

Persistent Cookies: Remain on a device for a defined period unless deleted earlier.

Retention periods depend on the particular cookie and its purpose.

The website's cookie inventory should identify actual cookie names, providers, purposes, and expiration periods.

We aim to avoid retaining information longer than reasonably necessary.

8. Personal Information Collected Through Cookies

Certain cookies and similar technologies may collect or generate information that qualifies as personal data.

Examples may include:

IP addresses
Online identifiers
Device information

Website interaction data

Where applicable, this information is handled according to our Privacy Policy and relevant data protection requirements.

We aim to limit collection to information reasonably necessary for legitimate, disclosed purposes.

9. GDPR Lawful Bases for Processing

Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, personal data processing must have an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending on the activity, possible lawful bases include:

Consent
Performance of a contract
Compliance with legal obligations
Legitimate interests where legally permitted

The lawful basis depends on the specific processing activity.

Non-essential cookies requiring prior consent under applicable cookie laws should not be activated merely because a business claims a legitimate interest.

Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate information.

Erasure: Request deletion of personal data where legally applicable.

12. Canadian Privacy Requirements

British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) generally governs private-sector personal information practices within its scope.

Other Canadian privacy laws may apply depending on the activities involved.

We aim to provide transparent information about collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information.

Other signals may not have a uniform legal or technical interpretation.
