Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Openbridge uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device — your computer, phone, or tablet — when you browse websites. They help sites remember things about your visit.
We use cookies for a few reasons. Some are essential to make the website work properly. Others help us understand how people use the site so we can make improvements. This policy will walk you through exactly what we use and why.
Types of Cookies We Use
Necessary/Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for our website to function. Without them, basic features like page navigation and secure areas wouldn't work at all. They handle things like keeping you logged in during a session, maintaining security, and remembering your language preference if you've set one. You can't opt out of these — they're fundamental to how the site operates.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience. For example, they might store your preferred language or region, or remember if you've already dismissed a notification banner. These aren't strictly necessary, but they make the site more convenient to use. If you disable them, the site will still work, but you might need to re-enter preferences each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with our website. This includes things like which pages are most visited, how long people spend on the site, and where visitors come from. The data is aggregated — we can't identify individual users from it. This information helps us understand what's working and what needs improvement.
Marketing/Advertising Cookies
These cookies track your browsing activity to help deliver more relevant advertisements. We only set marketing cookies if you give us explicit consent. They may be placed by advertising partners and can follow your activity across different websites. If you'd rather not receive targeted advertising, you can decline these cookies when prompted.
Specific Cookies We Use
Here's a breakdown of the cookies you might encounter on our site:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | |-------------|---------|----------| | session_id | Maintains your session while browsing the site | Expires when you close your browser | | consent_v1 | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months | | lang_pref | Remembers your language selection | 6 months | | _analytics | Anonymous usage statistics (if enabled) | 12 months | | csrf_token | Security token to prevent cross-site request forgery | Session |
This isn't an exhaustive list. The actual cookies may vary slightly as we update the site.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our website may include content or services from third parties. For instance, we might embed a map to show our location at 510 2nd Ave N, Saskatoon, or include social sharing buttons. These third-party services can set their own cookies, which we don't control.
Each third-party provider has their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing those policies if you're concerned about how they handle your data. We try to limit third-party integrations to only what's genuinely useful for visitors.
Managing Cookies
You have control over cookies. Most web browsers let you manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- See what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies entirely
- Set preferences for different types of cookies
Keep in mind that blocking necessary cookies will likely break parts of the website. Forms might not submit. Sessions might not persist. Pages might not load correctly.
To manage cookies, look in your browser's settings or preferences menu. The exact steps vary by browser:
- **Chrome**: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- **Firefox**: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- **Safari**: Preferences → Privacy
- **Edge**: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Your browser's help section will have detailed instructions specific to your version.
Your Consent
When you first visit our website, you'll see a notice asking whether you accept cookies. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept only necessary ones, or customize your preferences.
This choice isn't permanent. You can change your mind anytime by clearing your cookies through your browser settings. The next time you visit, you'll see the consent notice again and can make a different choice.
We won't set non-essential cookies until you've given consent. That's a straightforward principle we follow.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Maybe we'll add new functionality that requires different cookies. Or regulations might change. When we make updates, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
For significant changes, we might also display a notice on the website. But it's a good idea to check back occasionally.
