This Cookie Policy explains how Varity Ventures (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.varityventures.ca (the “Website”), and how you can control them. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and scripts. Some are needed for a website to work; others collect information about how you use it.
2. Our approach
- Essential cookies are always on, because the Website cannot work properly without them.
- Optional cookies (analytics or advertising) are off by default. They are only used if you click “Accept” in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of optional cookies.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
vv_consent | Essential | Remembers whether you accepted or declined optional cookies | 12 months |
wordpress_*, wp-settings-* | Essential | Only for our staff when logged in to manage the Website | Session to 1 year |
comment_author_* | Functional | Remembers your name and email if you leave a comment and ask us to | 1 year |
We currently use no analytics, advertising or other optional cookies on the Website. If we add any, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
The websites of our businesses use their own cookies, explained in their own policies.
4. Managing your choices
- On this Website: use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page to accept or decline optional cookies.
- In your browser: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the Website from working.
- Global Privacy Control: turn on GPC in a supporting browser or extension to send an opt-out signal to every website you visit.
This website currently uses no analytics, advertising or other optional cookies, so there is nothing to switch off here.
5. Changes
We will update this policy if the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
