1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Opalia Inc. ("the Company," "we," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on opaliafood.com and the associated manufacturer partner portal. The Company is located at 1250 Rene-Levesque Blvd West, Suite 2200, Montreal, QC H3B 2Y5, Canada. This policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly under PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your browser, store preferences, maintain session state across the partner portal, and measure how the site is used. We also use related technologies such as local storage for the cookie-banner dismissal state.
3. How We Use Cookies
The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
| Category | Purpose and examples | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Partner portal authentication session; CSRF token for form submissions; cookie-banner dismissal state (stored in localStorage). | Session to 12 months |
| Preferences | Not currently used on this site. | n/a |
| Analytics | First-party, self-hosted analytics that measure page views, referral sources, and session patterns in anonymized form. No data is shared with advertising networks. | Up to 13 months |
| Marketing | Not currently used. We do not place third-party advertising cookies on this site. | n/a |
4. Notice and Choice
Because Opalia operates under Canadian law (PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25), our model is notice-based: we inform you about cookie use through this Policy and the cookie notice shown on your first visit, and we rely on your continued use of the Service as implied consent for analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies required for the partner portal to function do not require separate consent.
You may opt out of analytics cookies at any time by clicking "Cookie preferences" in the page footer, which reopens the notice. Opting out does not affect strictly necessary cookies, and the site continues to function normally.
5. Global Privacy Control
The Company honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a user opt-out for analytics data. If your browser transmits a GPC signal, we suppress analytics initialization regardless of any prior banner dismissal. This behavior is implemented in our cookie-banner script and applies site-wide. You can verify GPC support in your browser at globalprivacycontrol.org.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties acting as service providers, such as font delivery networks (Google Fonts CDN) or analytics tools. We have agreements with such providers that restrict their use of data to service provision. We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. Google Fonts is loaded via a standard CDN link; if you prefer to prevent any Google network request, you may load the page with JavaScript disabled or use a browser extension that blocks third-party requests.
7. Managing Cookies
- Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer to opt out of analytics at any time.
- Browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies entirely; see aboutcookies.org for browser-specific instructions. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the partner portal from functioning.
- Private or incognito browsing mode prevents cookies from persisting after the browser session ends.
8. Changes and Contact
The Company may update this policy. The "Last updated" date above will reflect any revision. Continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
