Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be “session” cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies help remember your preferences, keep you signed in, analyze how you interact with pages, and personalize content to make your experience more relevant. While cookies typically do not contain information that personally identifies a user, the personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. You can learn more about cookies at reputable resources provided by browser vendors and privacy authorities, many of which also include instructions for managing and deleting cookies on commonly used devices and platforms.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies to support the performance and usability of our website. Essential cookies are required for core functionality, such as security, load balancing, form submissions, and basic navigation; without them, the site cannot function properly. Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our pages, which features are most helpful, where users encounter friction, and how we can improve speed and reliability. Functional cookies remember user preferences, such as language, region, and saved items, so you don’t have to reconfigure settings on each visit. Marketing or advertising cookies (where used) enable more relevant messaging and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Some cookies may be set by third parties (for example, embedded media providers or analytics partners) to deliver services on our behalf, subject to their own policies and controls.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to provide, protect, and improve our services. For example, cookies help authenticate sessions, prevent fraud, and safeguard accounts. They enable features like remembering cart contents, saving progress in forms, and persisting your site preferences across visits. Analytics cookies provide aggregated insights into usage patterns, such as which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and what devices or browsers are commonly used. These insights inform product decisions, content organization, and performance optimizations so that the site feels faster and more intuitive over time. Where we employ marketing cookies, we do so to show promotions that are more aligned with your interests and to avoid repeatedly showing the same content. We strive to minimize data collection, implement appropriate retention schedules, and use data in a manner consistent with our Privacy Policy and applicable regulations.

4. Your Choices and Managing Preferences

You can control cookies at any time through your browser settings, where you can block, delete, or receive alerts about cookies. Most browsers also allow you to disable third‑party cookies or restrict tracking to specific contexts. Please note that disabling certain cookies—especially essential ones—may affect core functionality and could degrade your experience or prevent you from using some site features. Where available, you may also adjust preferences through the cookie banner or settings panel provided on our site. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you’ll need to set your choices on each. For mobile apps or web views, controls may differ based on your operating system or in‑app settings. If you clear your cookies, your preferences may be reset and you’ll need to configure them again the next time you visit.

5. Third‑Party Cookies and Similar Technologies

Some features on our website rely on services provided by third parties. These providers may set their own cookies or use similar technologies (such as pixels, local storage, SDKs, or device identifiers) to deliver functionality, analytics, or embedded content. For instance, analytics partners can help us better understand usage trends, while media hosts enable video playback or interactive components. We carefully evaluate such providers and seek to limit data sharing to what is necessary for the requested service. However, we do not control the cookies and settings of third‑party operators, and their practices are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. You can usually manage third‑party cookies through your browser or by visiting the providers’ opt‑out pages where available.

6. Retention, Updates, and Contact

Cookie lifespans vary depending on their purpose—some expire when you close your browser, while others persist for a longer period to remember your settings or help us recognize returning visitors. We periodically review our use of cookies and may update this policy to reflect changes in technology, applicable law, or the services we offer. When we make material updates, we will modify the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or wish to exercise rights described in our Privacy Policy, please contact us at info@rotarycarpolisher.com or call +1 416-776-3100. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and work to address your request consistent with legal requirements and operational feasibility.

7. Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Controls

Some browsers and extensions offer “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals or Global Privacy Controls (GPC) intended to communicate your privacy preferences to the sites you visit. Industry standards for responding to DNT signals remain inconsistent, and many websites do not act on them in a uniform way. Where required by applicable law, we make good‑faith efforts to recognize and respect supported GPC signals as an expression of your preference to limit certain data processing, such as targeted advertising cookies. Because our site may include third‑party integrations (for example, embedded media or analytics), honoring these signals can involve cooperation with external providers who control their own technologies. We also provide on‑site controls, such as our cookie banner or settings, so that you can fine‑tune your choices. If you rely on DNT or GPC, we recommend also adjusting the cookie settings on our site and in your browser to ensure your preferences are fully reflected across sessions and devices.

8. Managing Cookies via Browser Controls

You can configure most modern browsers to manage cookies according to your preferences. Options typically include blocking all cookies, blocking only third‑party cookies, clearing existing cookies, setting exceptions for specific websites, or receiving notifications before cookies are stored. Instructions for popular browsers are available from their developers and can usually be found under settings such as Privacy & Security or Site Permissions. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies may affect core functionality—such as staying signed in, keeping items in your cart, or remembering preferences—and could result in a less reliable experience. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you will need to apply your cookie choices on each one. Clearing cookies will remove your saved preferences, which means you may need to reconfigure your selections the next time you visit our site or interact with features that rely on cookies and similar technologies.

9. Consent, Updates, and How to Contact Us

By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy. From time to time, we may revise this policy to reflect updates to our practices, changes in technology, regulatory guidance, or improvements to user controls. When changes are material, we will update the “Last updated” date above and may provide additional notice—such as a banner or direct message—so that you can review the new terms. Your continued use of the site after a change will signify acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law. If you have questions, concerns, or complaints regarding our cookie practices, please contact us at info@rotarycarpolisher.com or call +1 416-776-3100. Where applicable, you may also have the right to contact your local data protection authority; we will work cooperatively to resolve any concerns in a timely and transparent manner.
