Cookies Policy

Last Updated: September 5, 2026.

ComforHome Ltd. (ComforHome) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://comforhome.ca/ to run the site, understand use, and support advertising of our directory. This policy explains what we use and how you can control it. It forms part of our Privacy Policy. Servers we operate are in Canada. Personal information is handled under PIPEDA and the Privacy Policy.

We do not show a cookie consent banner or a preference centre. You can accept, refuse, or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some cookies are required for login, security, and forms; blocking them may break those features.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website. It typically contains a unique identifier and the site name. We also use similar technologies (for example pixels or local storage) for the same kinds of purposes described here.

We may store a short-lived draft of a listing contact form in your browser (for example session storage) so you can sign in and send it. That draft is not a cookie inventory item you configure in a banner; clearing site data in the browser removes it.

2. Why we use cookies

Strictly necessary

  • Keep you signed in and protect forms (including security tokens).
  • Remember basic filters (for example location or search display) where the site does so.
  • Operate listing contact forms and account pages.

We do not use cookies for a shopping cart, checkout, or product store. Care fees are paid between users, not through a ComforHome cart.

Functionality

  • Remember useful display or navigation choices during a visit.

Analytics and performance

  • Measure traffic and how pages are used (for example Google Analytics via Site Kit, if active).

Advertising

  • Measure and improve ads we run (for example Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising / Bing), including conversion and remarketing, if those tags are active.

We do not use cookies for affiliate-network commission tracking, embedded social plugins, or A/B-testing platforms. Footer links to Facebook, X, or LinkedIn do not set those networks’ cookies by themselves unless you follow the link and those sites set their own cookies.

3. Categories

Necessary cookies — required for the directory, accounts, and security. Transmitted using TLS.

Site-experience cookies — optional conveniences such as filters. Generally not used to identify you by name.

Performance cookies — analytics and similar measurement. Retention of analytics data is described in Section 6 and in the Privacy Policy.

Advertising cookies — used if we run ads or remarketing. Third parties may receive identifiers as described in their policies. We do not operate a on-site toggle; use browser controls and the opt-outs those vendors provide.

4. How to control cookies

Use your browser’s help pages to block or delete cookies, or visit https://www.aboutcookies.org for general instructions. Restricting cookies can limit login, forms, maps, or other features.

Do Not Track (DNT). Some browsers send a DNT signal. This website does not currently respond to DNT. There is no widely adopted standard for how sites must honour it.

For a list of cookies actually present on your device, your browser’s developer or cookie settings are authoritative. You may also email info@comforhome.ca and ask our Privacy Officer for an inventory of cookies we intend to use.

5. How long cookies last

Session cookies are usually deleted when you close the browser.

Persistent cookies remain for a period set by us or the third party — often from a few hours up to about two years — so the site or a vendor can recognise the browser on a later visit.

Typical ranges we aim to follow:

  • Necessary and functional: up to 12 months.
  • Analytics: up to 24 months (for example Google Analytics defaults, if used).
  • Advertising: up to 12 months (sometimes shorter, depending on the vendor).

6. Who sets cookies

Parties that may set cookies or similar technologies on our site:

  • ComforHome.ca (first party) — session, security (including CSRF-style tokens), forms, and basic preferences such as location filters.
  • Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit, if enabled) — aggregated usage statistics.
  • Google Ads — conversion and remarketing measurement when we run Google ads.
  • Microsoft Advertising (Bing) — conversion and campaign measurement when we run Microsoft ads.
  • Google Maps — maps, nearby search, and related preferences.
  • Google reCAPTCHA — abuse protection on forms; Google may set cookies or read device signals.
  • WordPress / logged-in session — essential when you sign in.

We do not use Cloudflare. We do not use a cookie preference centre.

Vendors change. Email info@comforhome.ca if you need a current name-level list.

Fonts or icon libraries loaded from third-party CDNs (for example Google Fonts or cdnjs) may cause those CDNs to receive your IP address; that is network access, not always a first-party cookie we set.

7. Updates

We may change this Cookies Policy when our tools or the law change. The date at the top is the last update. Material changes will be announced by email (where we have an address) or a prominent site notice, consistent with the Privacy Policy.
