Cookie Policy
Effective date: June 20, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how ELEMONT uses cookies and similar technologies on elemont.ca, our French marketing pages, and related public web properties. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. Cookies can be "session" cookies that expire when you close your browser or "persistent" cookies that remain for a defined period.
2. How we use cookies
ELEMONT groups cookies into the following categories:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to provide secure sign-in, maintain your authenticated session between our marketing website and dashboard, remember cookie consent choices, and protect the Services from abuse. Because they are strictly necessary, they are set when required for the feature you use.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
elemont_session | Secure HttpOnly session cookie used to recognize logged-in users across ELEMONT web properties | 7 days |
elemont_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
Analytics and measurement cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (cookies _ga, _ga_*) to measure visits, page views and sign-ups in aggregate so we can improve the site. If you accept all cookies in the banner, we also use the Google Ads tag (_gcl_*) only to measure whether a visit led to a contact request. Analytics cookies last up to 2 years. Google Analytics keeps event data for 2 months and user-level data for 14 months. We do not use this data for ad personalization or remarketing, and we do not build advertising profiles.
You can give consent through the cookie banner, or by ticking the analytics cookie box when you create an account. That box enables analytics cookies only, and it replaces any earlier choice you made in the banner. Accepting analytics cookies is required to create a platform account. Browsing the site does not require it. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time: click Cookie settings in the footer and choose "Essential only". You can also delete existing cookies in your browser or email privacy@elemont.ca.
| Provider | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | _ga, _ga_* | Measure traffic, page views, and engagement on an aggregated basis |
| Google Ads | _gcl_* | Measure conversions from our Google Ads campaigns (ID AW-18397167247) |
3. Consent and your choices
When you first visit our website, we show a cookie banner that lets you accept all cookies or limit use to essential cookies only. You can change your mind at any time by clearing site data in your browser and revisiting the site, or by contacting us at privacy@elemont.ca.
We do not use analytics or ads-conversion cookies before you provide consent. Where GDPR applies, our default is to deny analytics and ad storage until you opt in. The Google Ads tag measures our own campaigns; we do not use it for cross-site advertising profiles.
4. Browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you block essential cookies, parts of the Services may not function correctly, including secure sign-in and dashboard access from the marketing site.
5. Canadian and international compliance
Our cookie practices are designed to align with PIPEDA's requirement for meaningful consent, Quebec Law 25 expectations for transparency, and GDPR principles of purpose limitation, data minimization, and user control for non-essential cookies.
6. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove technologies, providers, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this page will change when we do.
7. Contact
Questions about cookies can be sent to privacy@elemont.ca.
