1. Purpose
This Cookie Policy explains how UWELL CREW uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, platform, and related digital services.
This Policy should be read together with the UWELL CREW Privacy Policy and any consent banner or preference center presented on the site.
2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files or similar browser technologies placed on your device when you visit a website.
UWELL may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage tools, log files, and analytics identifiers to operate and measure the website.
3. Why UWELL Uses Cookies
UWELL may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- to operate essential site functions;
- to maintain login sessions and account security;
- to remember language, region, and consent preferences;
- to measure website traffic and performance;
- to understand user engagement and improve site functionality;
- to support fraud detection, abuse prevention, and technical troubleshooting;
- to deliver, measure, or optimize marketing and advertising activities where permitted;
- to support campaign attribution and analytics.
PIPEDA requires clear and understandable disclosure of the purposes for which personal information is collected, used, or disclosed, including in online tracking contexts.
4. Categories of Cookies
UWELL may use the following categories of cookies:
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website or service to function properly.
They may be used for account login, session management, security, load balancing, age-gate state, fraud prevention, and other core technical operations.
These cookies may be enabled by default where necessary for the service.
4.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies help remember user choices and preferences, such as language, region, consent selections, or interface settings.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help UWELL understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how users move through the site, how long sessions last, and where technical issues occur.
Depending on the implementation and legal context, analytics cookies may be activated only after consent where required.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies or similar technologies may be used to deliver, measure, or optimize advertising, build audience segments, track campaign performance, or support online behavioural advertising.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada states that online behavioural advertising and tracking practices require clear notice and meaningful user choice, and those purposes must not be buried in a privacy policy.
Tracking for behavioural advertising should not be made a condition of service.
5. Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the cookie or technology used, UWELL may collect:
- IP address;
- browser type and version;
- device type and operating system;
- unique browser or device identifiers;
- pages viewed and links clicked;
- time spent on pages and navigation paths;
- referring URLs;
- session activity;
- approximate geolocation inferred from IP;
- consent status and preference settings.
Where this information can identify, relate to, or be linked with an individual, it may be treated as personal information under Canadian privacy law.
6. Consent and User Choice
UWELL aims to provide a cookie banner, consent mechanism, or preference center that allows users to understand and manage cookie choices.
PIPEDA meaningful consent guidance requires that purposes be presented clearly and at or before collection, and not hidden in a general privacy policy.
For non-essential cookies, especially advertising, profiling, locating, or cross-site tracking tools, UWELL may seek consent before activation where required by law or internal policy.
Only strictly necessary cookies may be enabled by default where they are required for the service to function.
Users should be able to refuse non-essential cookies as easily as they accept them and should be able to revisit their preferences later.
7. Quebec-Related Cookie and Tracking Disclosures
Quebec Law 25 and related compliance guidance impose stricter transparency expectations for identifying, locating, and profiling technologies.
Organizations using such tools are expected to inform users of the use of those technologies, explain their purposes, and indicate how the functions may be activated or controlled.
Guidance on Law 25 cookie management also emphasizes that users should be able to refuse non-essential cookies as easily as they accept them, that profiling and similar cookies should generally be off by default, and that consent should be revocable at any time.
While some commentary notes that browser cookies are treated differently from certain privacy-by-default settings under section 9.1, tracking and profiling disclosures still require clear transparency and control mechanisms.
8. Third-Party Cookies and Technologies
UWELL may allow selected third-party service providers to place cookies or similar technologies on the site for analytics, security, communications, advertising, or embedded content functions.
These third parties may include analytics vendors, CRM or marketing automation providers, fraud-prevention vendors, social media platforms, tag managers, and advertising partners.
Where required, UWELL will provide notice of third-party involvement and obtain consent before activating relevant non-essential third-party tools.
UWELL does not control third-party cookies once deployed through third-party tools beyond the controls UWELL configures in its own consent platform.
9. Managing Cookies
You may manage cookies through:
- UWELL’s cookie banner or consent management tool, where available;
- your browser settings;
- device-level privacy controls;
- third-party opt-out tools where applicable.
Disabling cookies may affect site functionality, account login, saved preferences, or other site features.
If you reject or disable certain cookies, some parts of the website may not operate properly.
10. Retention
Different cookies remain on your device for different periods of time.
Some cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser, while others remain for a longer period until they expire or are deleted.
Where feasible, UWELL aims to describe cookie duration, category, and purpose in its cookie management tool or supporting cookie table.
11. Changes to This Policy
UWELL may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, regulation, technology, business operations, vendors, or site functionality.
The updated version will be posted with a revised effective date.
