Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how ("we", "us", or "our"), operating the website aurevessalune.com (the "Site"), uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit our pages. We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and the choices available to you.

Our registered office is located at . We are incorporated in British Columbia under registration number BC1395724 and operate under VAT number CA 1395724 RT0001.

By continuing to use the Site after being presented with our cookie notice, you acknowledge this policy. Where applicable law requires your prior consent before non-essential cookies are set, we will ask for that consent through our consent management tool before placing any such cookies.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They allow the Site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language or login status, so that your next visit is easier and the Site is more useful to you.

In addition to cookies, we may use related technologies that serve similar purposes, including:

• Local storage and session storage. Browser-based storage areas that hold data on your device without expiry dates (local storage) or only for the duration of a browser session (session storage).
• Pixel tags and web beacons. Tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails that signal when content has been accessed.
• Fingerprinting techniques. Methods that identify a device by combining browser and hardware attributes. We do not use device fingerprinting for tracking without your consent.

For simplicity, this policy uses the word "cookies" to refer collectively to all of these technologies.

3. Cookies by Origin

Cookies placed on the Site fall into two categories based on who sets them.

3.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by us under the domain aurevessalune.com. They are used to deliver the core functionality of the Site and to remember your preferences and consent choices.

3.2 Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by external service providers whose code or content appears on our pages. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they handle the information they collect. We are not responsible for the practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party policies before enabling optional cookie categories that rely on external services.

4. Cookies by Duration

Regardless of origin, cookies have different lifespans depending on how they are configured.

Persistent cookies used on the Site typically expire within a range of one day to twenty-four months, depending on their purpose. The specific expiry period for each cookie is indicated, where technically determinable, in the cookie management panel accessible from our cookie notice banner.

5. Categories of Use

We organise the cookies we use, or may use, into four functional categories. The table below describes each category, its purpose, and the legal basis on which it relies under applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the British Columbia Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

We do not use cookies to process sensitive personal information, to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you, or to build profiles for purposes unrelated to the Site.

6. Your Consent

When you first visit the Site, a cookie notice banner will appear. That banner allows you to:

• Accept all cookie categories, including optional ones.
• Reject all optional cookie categories and allow only strictly necessary cookies.
• Customise your choices by enabling or disabling each optional category individually.

Your consent choices are recorded and stored in a strictly necessary cookie so that we do not ask you again on subsequent visits. This consent record does not contain any information about the specific pages you visited or actions you took on the Site.

Consent, where required, is collected in accordance with PIPEDA and PIPA. You are not obligated to provide consent to optional cookie categories, and declining them will not prevent you from accessing the publicly available content on the Site.

7. Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

You may change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time. To do so, you can:

• Use our cookie settings panel. A link to reopen the consent management tool is available in the footer of every page on the Site. Adjusting your settings there will take effect immediately for any future cookie placements. Cookies already set before you withdraw consent will not be deleted automatically from your device; you must clear them using your browser settings (see Section 8 below).
• Contact us directly. If you have difficulty accessing the consent management tool, you may send a request to info@aurevessalune.com and we will assist you within a reasonable time.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before the withdrawal. It also does not affect strictly necessary cookies, which will continue to be set as long as you use the Site.

8. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to our on-site consent tool, every major web browser includes settings that allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies stored on your device. The methods vary by browser; consult the help documentation for the browser you use. Below are links to the cookie management instructions for several commonly used browsers.

• Google Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari (macOS): Safari menu, then Preferences, then Privacy.
• Apple Safari (iOS): Settings, then Safari, then Privacy and Security.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Please be aware that blocking all cookies through your browser may impair the functionality of many websites, including this Site. Strictly necessary cookies are required for basic navigation and form submission; disabling them through your browser may prevent those features from working correctly.

You may also explore industry opt-out tools provided by digital advertising organisations. These tools allow you to signal an opt-out preference for interest-based advertising from participating companies across multiple websites. Because these tools operate independently of our consent management system, using them does not automatically update your preferences recorded on the Site.

9. Third-Party Responsibility

Where we permit third-party service providers to set cookies through the Site, we have assessed those relationships and included them in our cookie disclosure to the extent practicable. However, once data is transmitted to a third-party provider, that provider's own privacy policy governs the subsequent handling of that data.

We are not responsible for:

• The accuracy, completeness, or currency of information contained in any third-party privacy or cookie policy.
• Cookies set by third parties whose content you access through links on the Site. Following a link to an external website takes you outside our control, and that site's own cookie and privacy rules apply from that point onward.
• Changes made by third-party providers to their cookie practices after the date of this policy, provided we are not yet aware of those changes.

We review our third-party relationships periodically and update this policy when material changes occur. If you have concerns about cookies set by a specific third party, we recommend contacting that provider directly or consulting their published policy.

10. Children and Minors

The Site is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through cookies or any other means. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us through this Site, please contact us at info@aurevessalune.com and we will take prompt steps to delete that information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our business practices, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also notify you through a banner on the Site when significant changes are made that affect optional cookie categories you have previously accepted.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of the Site after any changes are published constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy with respect to strictly necessary cookies. For optional categories, we will seek fresh consent where required by applicable law.

12. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Cookie Policy or to the personal information we process through cookies, please contact us using the details below.

We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within 30 calendar days of receipt. If your concern is not resolved to your satisfaction, you have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia.
